Close call after shop roof collapses
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
SHOPPERS at Mordialloc Plaza were lucky to avoid injury last week after a section of the roof near Woolworths collapsed.
Emergency services and SES were called out to the Mordialloc shopping centre last Tuesday, 11 March. They were told a person may be trapped under the collapsed roof, but thankfully
when they arrived they found nobody was under the wreckage.
The roof collapsed at around 2.30pm. Chelsea SES were among the attendees on the scene - in a statement it said “a large section of roofing has collapsed, landing on the stairway between Main Street and the Woolworths Supermarket.”
“The collapse happened just before 2.30 [11 March], and Chelsea SES were called as a Priority One job, with the fear someone may have been
trapped. The walkway is always very busy, and especially at lunch time on a beautiful day, being so close to Mordialloc Beach,” the SES said. “There is a café next to the walkway, with outdoor seating for diners, and amazingly, there was not one person walking through, or sitting at the café.
“Green Team are remaining on scene until the City of Kingston Engineer attends, and then they will decide what needs to be done.”

Authors in the history books
LIFELONG passions for racing and porcelain artworks have won two local authors nominations for a prestigious award.
The shortlist for the 2024 Victorian Community History Awards was announced last week. Langwarrin author Gregory Hill made the list for his book Victoria’s Earliest Porcelain Works: Art Pottery, Crockery and Insulators
The shortlist also included John Macnaughtan for his book Down the Line Racecourses, a history of racecourses at Mordialloc and Aspendale. Capel Sound’s Rodney James was shortlisted for his book Letters to a Critic: Alan McCulloch’s World of Art
The Victorian Community History
Awards are awarded through a partnership between the Public Record Office Victoria, the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, and the state government. Shortlisted nominees are contending for prizes ranging from $500 to $5000. Royal Historical Society of Victoria president Richard Broome said “we look forward to celebrating these shortlisted nominees at the Victorian Community History Awards ceremony at the end of March and announcing our major prize winners.”
Public Record Office Victoria director Justine Heazlewood paid tribute to the work of the authors. “By sharing historical books, articles, oral histo-
ries, exhibitions and creative projects, these nominees help us all to better understand our past. I thank our nominees for their contribution to Victoria’s history,” Heazlewood said.
After the release of his book, Macnaughtan told The News his passion for racing started as a young child. “I’ve always had an interest in racing. It started as a youngster, as a kid, and then followed on from that. I even trained a horse for a year, but I didn’t train a winner,” he said.
“The main resource I use is Trove online newspapers, and I also go into the racing museum at Flemington which has a very good archive of horse racing books and newspapers.”

Women prepare to tackle new challenges
UNEMPLOYMENT, health issues, and homelessness are among the challenges that a group of women will tackle with force later this year when they participate in the “Sprit of Transformation” program.
The Women’s Spirit Project’s Spirit of Transformation is designed for women aged over 25 who are overcoming life challenges. The ten-week program, which helps empower women who have lived through poverty, health issues, or violence, is now accepting applications.
The free program is available for women in the Kingston and Frankston local government areas. It will feature an hour of exercise each week, along with sessions covering learning and behavioural styles, goal setting, boundary setting, meditation, support services, health and nutrition, and reproductive health.
A participant from last year’s Spirit of Transformation said “before the Spirit of Transformation program, I had been unemployed for many years and isolated, I had no hope for the future. I recently got casual employment at a café and just started university. I was hospitalised for many years due to a chronic mental health condition. I felt hopeless and the pain just got worse. I was at severe risk of homelessness and extremely depressed.”
“My health worker asked me if I had heard about the Women’s Spirit Project - I was so scared walking into my first interview, I could feel the anxiety building up. I quickly learnt that the connection of being
around other women going through hard times and going through my recovery journey with other people is not only possible but essential in me living my best life despite life struggles. I also built my confidence and
learnt new strengths and values I did not know I have, like resilience and courage,” she said. “Completing the Spirit of Transformation program has been a life-changing experience for me. Before starting the program, I
felt stuck in a very unhealthy place. I was welcomed into an inclusive, non-judgmental environment where I have been able to change negative patterns, cultivate a positive mindset, and develop healthier habits.”
Mentor recruitment closes on 20 March, and participants can apply until 24 April. To apply visit womensspiritproject.org/spirit-of-transformation-2025

Thousands to use TAFE building
THE new Frankston TAFE building, which will host around 2000 students a year, was officially opened last week.
The state government spent $67.6 million on the new building, and is spending a total of $151.1 million to redevelop the entire campus. The new facility will be used to teach the Diploma of Community Services, Certificate IV in Mental Health, Certificate IV in Youth Work, Certificate IV in Cyber Security, and more.
Chisholm Institute board chair Gillian Miles said the new facilities, which welcomed students last year, are improving outcomes at the school. “New learning environments help every Chisholm student achieve and support our communities to be jobready,” he said.
Chisholm Institute CEO Stephen Varty said “Chisholm stands for excellence. This new building is a shining example of how TAFE delivers on this commitment, and our belief that excellence should
be accessible to everyone”.
Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke attended the opening last week. He said “this state-of-the-art facility is a huge win for Frankston, giving our community access to free TAFE, helping them to get the skills they need and opening doors for the jobs they want.”
Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea said “as a former TAFE student, I know the value of public education and how important free TAFE is to giving people wellpaid jobs and secure work. Chisholm’s new facility will give everyone in our community the chance to access education in critical sectors, without the financial barrier.”
The third stage of the Frankston campus redevelopment includes the construction of a new Frankston Tech School. Work on the project is well underway, and is expected to conclude in the second half of this year.
The $85 million “Frankston Learning and Innovation Precinct” at the campus opened in 2019.
Peninsula warnings after measles exposures
THE current measles outbreak in Victoria is growing with five further measles cases identified. Two of these cases are domestically acquired and linked to the recent domestic outbreak reported in February. Three cases acquired their infection overseas in Bali. These cases were infectious at multiple locations in Melbourne.
The current outbreak has led to a list of exposure sites, including a number in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. The local exposure sites are:
Frankston Hospital Emergency Department, between 8.15pm Wednesday 12 March and 2.15pm Thursday 13 March
Frankston Hospital Emergency Department waiting room, Wednesday 12 March 2025 3:20pm to 8:50pm
Frankston Hospital Emergency Department waiting room, Tuesday 11 March 2025 7:30am to 8:10am
Frankston Hospital Emergency Department, Tuesday 11 March 2025 7:40am to 4:10pm
Rosebud Hospital Emergency Department Waiting Room, Tuesday 11 March 2025 12:50am to 7:10am
Grill’d Burgers, Mornington, 18a Main St, Mornington, Friday 7 March 2025 8:20pm to 9:45pm
YOMG Mornington, 54 Main St, Mornington, Friday 7 March 2025 7:30pm to 8:45pm
The Training Ground, Rosebud, 10 Suffolk St, Rosebud, Thursday 6 March 2025 1:30pm to 3:15pm
The Training Ground, Rosebud, 10 Suffolk St, Rosebud, Wednesday 5 March 2025 8:30am to 10:00am
Anyone who has attended a listed exposure site during the specified times above should monitor for symptoms and seek medical care if symptoms develop for up to 18 days after the exposure and follow the recommendations below.
In addition, anyone who presents with signs and symptoms compatible with measles should be tested and notified to the Department of Health immediately. There should be an especially high level of suspicion if they have travelled overseas or visited any of the sites listed above and are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated for measles.
Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can lead to uncommon but serious complications, such as pneumonia and brain inflammation (encephalitis). There have been 13 cases of measles identified in Victoria in 2025, with four confirmed cases of local acquisition.
Measles vaccination coverage rates in Australia, while comparatively high, have declined to below the 95% national target since the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost all recent cases have arisen in people who have not had two documented doses of the MMR vaccine, showing the highly infectious nature of measles. In one instance, transmission occurred in a primary care waiting room, highlighting the importance of immediate isolation of people with fever and rash who present to healthcare settings.
Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, sore or red eyes (conjunctivitis), runny nose, and feeling generally unwell, followed by a red maculopapular rash. The rash usually starts on the face before spreading down the body. Symptoms can develop between 7 to 18 days after exposure.

‘Million dollar’ bust behind hidden door
A MAN has been charged after police allegedly found millions of dollars worth of illegal goods behind a hidden door at a Seaford business.
Police Raided the Austin Road business just after 7pm on 10 March. They say they found a hidden door behind a row of lockers, and seized cigarettes, tobacco, vapes and drugs with an estimated value in the millions of dollars. They also allegedly seized two firearms and multiple prohibited weapons.
On 11 March police arrested a 53-year-old Seaford man in Dandenong. He was charged with possess handgun, traffick methylamphetamine, possess methylamphetamine, traffick cannabis, possess cannabis, handle stolen goods, and two counts of possess prohibited weapon, allegedly pertaining to a taser and an extendable baton. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 14 April.
Police find car
TWO men allegedly caught driving a Lexus stolen from Cape Schanck have been arrested.
Police allege the car was stolen from Jamieson Court in an aggravated burglary sometime between 10 March and 11 March. At around 12.35pm on 11 March, police intercepted the car in Port Melbourne.
The Lexus allegedly rammed two police cars and a civilian’s car prior to the arrests.
A 19-year-old Carrum Downs man and a 19-year-old Seaford man were taken into custody.
A taser and OC spray were used by police during the arrest. The Carrum Downs man was taken to hospital.
Company fined after fall injury
A DEMOLITION company has been hit with a huge fine after a worker fell through a skylight and fractured his spine while working in Mornington.
Three City Way workers were demolishing a single storey dwelling in Mornington in October 2022 when the incident occurred, the Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court heard. One worker fell through a fibreglass sheet on the garage roof, sustaining vertebrae fractures that rendered him unable to work.
Last week City Way Demolition Pty Ltd was sentenced in the Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court after being found guilty of failing to ensure the workplace was safe and without risks to health, and failing, without reasonable excuse, to provide WorkSafe with required information and documents. It was fined $40,000 and ordered to pay more than $7000 in costs.
A WorkSafe statement read that its investigation “found it was reasonably practicable for City Way to have reduced or eliminated health and safety risks by using a passive fall prevention device, a work positioning system, or a fall arrest system.” WorkSafe executive director of health and safety Sam Jenkin said “despite there being clear regulations, extensive guidance, and far too many examples of preventable injuries and deaths, the company chose to bypass fall safety measures altogether.
“The blatant disregard for safety – by not having any fall protection in place and then refusing to cooperate with WorkSafe’s investigation – is very disappointing.”
Burn pile reignition prompts warning
THE CFA is warning the community that the fire season still remains active after a burn pile reignited two months after last being lit, causing a fire requiring a water bomber to be called in.
Fire crews were called to the incident on a Coolart Rd property just after 3pm on 10 March where they found a “column of smoke” and a fast-spreading fire.
Crews brought the fire under control within 30 minutes and were on scene for over three hours.
Units from Somerville, Moorooduc, Tyabb, Baxter and Mt Eliza attended.
Somerville Fire Brigade captain Joshua Caron said with conditions still dry across the peninsula, the fire had moved quickly with wind and long grass contributing to the challenging conditions, which resulted in a helicopter water bomber being called to tackle the blaze.
He said firefighters “did an amazing job to quickly stop the spread of the fire,” in a situation that could have escalated significantly.
While the incident was a “rare ignition”, Caron said it was a warning to all property owners to remain vigilant.
“I know we tell people to prepare their properties, but they need to maintain them. Especially where we are, on the rural-urban interface,” he said.
“Removing those significant fuel loads from around your house, making sure trees are maintained and grass is cut when the weather is fine to do this.”
Caron added the outlook was dry for the peninsula over March “so having a fire plan in place could be lifesaving”.
“Even on what might seem like a low-risk day, make sure you always have that fire plan in place and that you are monitoring conditions,” he said.
“This fire occurred on the kind of day where your average person wasn’t thinking about it being a fire risk day, but we are still in fire season.” Brendan Rees

A couple of Frankston smashes on the Sabbath
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
ON Sunday morning last, Mr. H. Stell, of the Peninsula Motor Garage, Bay Street, Frankston, was returning from Mornington in a Hudson SuperSix, after conveying a party to that favourite seaside resort.
When approaching the bend leading to the Frankston Pier, a Ford car coming in the opposite direction, also alleged to having been taking up more than a fair share of the roadway, swung in towards the Pier House in front of the car driven by Mr. Stell, who in an endeavour to avoid a collision, negotiated his Super-Six to the right.
In so doing, his own car skidded slightly, with the result that the Ford crashed into the rearguard of the Hudson which suffered damage to the extent of a broken mudguard, and a cut tyre.
No one was injured.
Misfortunes never come singly and on the same day, another Ford was stationary at the side of the road near to the Prince of Wales Hotel.
At the precise moment in question, a motorist came along. He had a parcel between his feet, and it is alleged that, momentarily, he forgot it was there and, accidentally, swerved off the road, hitting the other car in the rear, but without doing much damage.
Shortly after, Mr. Stell drove up in his car, and brought in the damaged Ford to his well-known garage for repairs.
A Seaford Sensation. Gruesome discover at Crystal Sand Pits
On Wednesday night last, Constable W. D. Addison, an astute officer of the
Frankston Police Force, dispatched to Superintendent Potter, chief of the C.I.B., an official report to the effect that a complete skeleton, believed to be that of an aboriginal, had been found at the Crystal Sand Pits, at Seaford.
In consequence of an urgent telephone call received earlier in the day, Constable Addison proceeded to Seaford, and there interviewed Mr. John Peters, employed at the Crystal Sand Co. Pty. Ltd., who informed the officer that about 11.20am he had been engaged in shovelling the surface of the sand pit, when he made the gruesome discovery that the implement had unearthed a human skeleton.
Constable Addison also interviewed Mr. William Butterfield, an employee of the same Company, who stated he had been watching Mr. Peters shovelling the surface off the sand pit, and to his surprise he saw his workmate unearth a skeleton, as above described.
Mr. Butterfield immediately notified Mr. Chas. Taylor, the manager of the Crystal Sand Company, who at once communicated with the C.I.B.
Later, Constable Addison, as already stated, went to the scene of the gruesome discovery, and, after investigations had been made, conveyed the skeleton, of what is surmised to be that of an Aboriginal reported missing in the locality some time ago, to the City Morgue.

Personal
Mr. Whyte, the popular local S.M., returned to duty on Wednesday last, following twenty-eight days’ furlough. Accompanied by Mrs. Whyte and family, he spent a well-earned
holiday in northern Victoria and New South Wales.
If appearances count for anything, Seaford’s genial S.M.’s vacation has done him good, also his wife has benefitted by the change.

Chelsea Police Court. Five Campers Fined Aggregate Of £65.
Rowdy scenes and indecent ones at that were witnessed in the small hours of Sunday morning at Bristol avenue, Chelsea.
Constable Hooper, who had already had a busy evening and a few in the lock-up, requisitioned the assistance of Aspendale’s guardian, Constable W. H. Quinn.
Together they went to the place where partly undressed young men were using filthy language and chasing into the rooms of women in a neighbouring camp.
At the Chelsea court on Monday Claude Warburton, 18; Eddie Finucane, 19; John Mitchell, 20; James Cregan, 23; and Louis Guinne, 21, were each fined £ 10, in default three months’ goal, for indecent language. The constable said that the language could have been heard a quarter of a mile away.
The specimens he produced were filthy in the extreme.
For offensive behaviour Warburton, Mitchell and Guianne were fined a further £5.
A total of £65 in all was inflicted in fines on the party. No time was allowed to pay. Mr. Cohen saying he would prefer to see them in gaol.
Mr. Reg Wadham applied for leniency as they had all with two others been confined in a veritable Black
PUZZLE ZONE
Hole of Chelsea – the lock-up, during the hot Sunday night and till the afternoon of Monday.
The lock-up was only 10 feet by 10 feet .
Mr. Cohen further remarked that it was an extraordinary thing that landlords could be found to rent the houses to this class of person. Such houses ought to be condemned.
He had spoken of this before. (Turning to Constable Quinn): “Who were the girls these young men were with?”
Constable Quinn: Single girls, girls who work in various suburbs.
Mr. Cohen: Such places, as I have said before, should be condemned. Landlords should not let their houses to these people.
The fines were ultimately all paid. ***
A fall in the ring. Incident at Somerville show.
During the ring events at the Somerville Show on Wednesday last, Mr. Claude May, one of the prominent competitors, had a nasty fall from the saddle.
At first it was thought he had sustained serious injury, but, fortunately, the surmise proved to be incorrect.
Later, he recovered sufficiently to again mount his steed and give a good account of his prowess as a crack horseman. ***
Mr. F. Taylor’s Fast Trotter.
Mr. F. Taylor, of the well-known “Grange Dairy,” Bay street, Frankston, is not only a poultry expert, and, in this direction, his birds still continue to win prizes, but he is also the proud owner of a fast trotter bearing the name of “Mae.”
At the Somerville Show last week, this famous pony secured no less than three first awards – a good record.
***
Langwarrin Tennis Club Social and Dance.
The social held last Friday night, in aid of the Langwarrin Tennis Club, was largely attended and proved a great success, and with the good music and excellent floor that was provided for the dancers it proved most enjoyable to all.
Further, it is most gratifying to the committee to see the keen interest that is being taken in the welfare of the club by the general public of the district and with the patronage that is being extended to them it is the intention of the club to run more entertainments.
***
Proposed Daily Service. Bittern to Red Hill.
Recently the Minister for Railways (Mr. Eggleston) promised a deputation to discuss with the Railways Commissioners the question of running a daily service between Bittern and Red Hill. There is a tri-weekly service at present.
A motor train was run daily in January last as an experiment, but the results were not satisfactory.
The deputation pointed out that this train was withdrawn before its service was well-known in the district. The issue of seaside excursion tickets to Balnarring and Bittern would encourage tourist traffic.

Langy taste defeat, mighty upset for Main Ridge
By Brodie Cowburn
PROVINCIAL
LADDER leaders Langwarrin will head into this weekend’s final series off the back of a loss, after Dromana put them to the sword on Saturday.
Langwarrin had a disastrous day on the road against Dromana. They got off to a nightmare start when opener Jack Marget was clean bowled by Dale Irving with the first delivery of the day.
Each of Langwarrin’s first five batters failed to reach double digits. They collapsed to 7/43, and looked in a world of trouble.
The tail offered some resistance, but Langwarrin was soon bowled out. They scored just 96 runs.
Dromana made short work of their target, claiming the upset win after 22 overs with six wickets left to spare. An impressive knock of 33 from 27 deliveries by Beau Anthony helped guide
Dromana to victory.
The result saw Dromana finish third on the ladder. The loss didn’t knock Langwarrin off the top.
Pines finished the year in second place - they beat Heatherhill with just one ball to spare last weekend to secure their spot.
Red Hill finished the season in fourth and Sorrento finished fifth. The two sides played on Saturday, with Sorrento emerging victorious.
Old Peninsula finished the year in last place, but ended things on a positive note by smashing Baden Powell.
PENINSULA
ROSEBUD will head into finals full of momentum after a big win over Moorooduc on Saturday.
The first-placed Rosebud hit the road to take on Moorooduc. They stamped their authority on the game early, rattling the Moorooduc top order.

trouble. Skipper Ben Williams steadied things with a knock of 76 to help his side reach a final total of 151.
Rosebud chased down their target without too much hassle. Will Jewell hit 52 runs, and Liam Collett scored an unbeaten 50. Rosebud wrapped up the win in 32 overs with eight wickets left to spare.
Mornington finished the season in second place - the Bulldogs closed out the home-and-away season with a win over third-placed Mt Eliza on Saturday.
Long Island finished in fourth place despite a defeat to Seaford last weekend.
Somerville smashed wooden spoon holders Seaford Tigers to close out their season.
DISTRICT
CARRUM Downs suffered a shock loss to Main Ridge in their final game of the home-and-away season last
weekend.
Carrum Downs entered the game as one of the premiership favourites, while Main Ridge is out of finals contention. Carrum Downs set their opponents a tough target of 236 to chase down to win - Gordon Waterfall topscored with 74 runs.
Main Ridge proved up for the fight, but the clock looked like it might work against them. Praveen Fernando came in at number five and took control.
Fernando smashed a brilliant century off just 53 balls to drag his side to a famous win. He hit 11 fours and five sixes during the electric innings.
Despite the defeat, Carrum Downs still finished the campaign in first place. Balnarring, who closed out their year with a big win over Baxter, finished second.
Third-placed Flinders beat Crib Point last weekend, and fourth-place Boneo beat Carrum.
SUB DISTRICT
TYABB locked up top spot on the ladder by beating Frankston YCW last weekend.
Bunguyan Reserve hosted the two sides on Saturday. Tyabb batted firstJarrod White and Udara Ravindu each scored half-centuries to help their side reach a final total of 202.
It was up to Tyabb’s bowlers to finish the job, and they proved up for the fight. The Stonecats managed to score just 125 before being bowled out. Ryan Regan cleaned up the tail-end to secure the win.
The result saw the Stonecats finish the year in third spot.
Rye finished second and Tootagrook finished fourth to round out the finals series. Rye beat Skye on Saturday, and Tootgarook beat Delacombe Park.
Mt Martha closed out the 2024/2025 season with a win over Ballam Park.

Local derbies set season alight
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
THREE local derbies highlight this weekend’s kick-off to the 2025 State League season.
Chelsea and Mentone go head-tohead on Friday night, Seaford United and Mount Martha clash on Saturday afternoon and Rosebud hosts Frankston Pines in a Saturday evening showdown at Olympic Park.
Get used to derbies stealing the limelight in State 4 South where six local clubs are in the same league, unprecedented in the modern era.
To add even more interest to these games local clubs in State 4 and State 5 are fighting tooth and nail to maintain their league status given the major restructure Football Victoria is implementing next year in a bid to standardise the entire State League set-up.
When the 2026 league season rolls around there will be seven State League levels regionalised into SouthEast and North-West divisions.
Finish on top in State 4 and State 5 and you win promotion but to maintain your status in both leagues clubs must finish in second to sixth spots.
Clubs finishing seventh to 10th are relegated and finishing 11th or 12th means you drop down two divisions from State 4 to the new State 6 and from State 5 to the new State 7.
Good luck avoiding that nightmare scenario.
In VPL1 news head coach Jamie Skelly remains confident that Langwarrin can turn around its poor start to the season despite losing 2-0 away to league leader Bentleigh Greens on Friday night.
It took until the 65th minute for the home side to break through courtesy of veteran Leigh Broxham and in the 80th minute Chris Droutsas put the contest out of Langy’s reach.
“We need to continue to stay positive and trust that the situation will turn around if we continue to keep playing the way we are,” Skelly said. “We went head-to-head with the best team in the league and for long periods were the better team.
“Our inability to convert our chances in key moments has meant we haven’t got the results we have deserved but we are all extremely confident that it will turn around if we keep working hard.”
In other news Thursday’s friendly between Rosebud and Peninsula Strikers at Olympic Park was abandoned after Rosebud striker Ethan Sanderson was injured.
Sanderson suffered a badly broken collarbone in August 2023 that required corrective surgery and sidelined him for a year.
He broke that same collarbone on Thursday with Rosebud leading 1-0 thanks to a fine Connor Wharton finish.
Rosebud has set up a gofundme account to support Sanderson and details can be found on the club’s facebook page.
The third preliminary round of the Australia Cup was held last weekend and just two local clubs remain in the national competition.
Mornington won its way into the next round while Langwarrin’s league status now brings it into the knockout tournament at this stage.
Australia Cup third preliminary round results: Old Ivanhoe 4 Aspendale 4 (Pablo Borboa, Jared Kilmartin, Ryan Mravljak, Lewis Marco) AET. Old Ivanhoe won 4-1 on penalties; Mornington 4 (Max Civil 2, Will Giddings 2) North-

St Kilda 0 Mornington 3 (Dylan Thomas, Jacob Brito, Keiran Dover); Peninsula Strikers reserves 1 (Josh Costa) Mount Eliza 0; Chelsea 1 (Christian Murray) Sandringham 0; Rosebud 1 (Connor Wharton) Peninsula Strikers 0 (abandoned after 35 minutes due to player injury); Frankston Pines 3 (Nick Chand, Ali Mujtaba) Casey Comets reserves 0; Baxter 1 (Logan Wilson) Seaford Utd 0.
