Police enforcing gathering rules at a peninsula beach over the weekend. Picture: Yanni
Beaches close, people urged to stay inside Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au BEACHES in Kingston, Frankston, and on the Mornington Peninsula were closed last weekend to help stop the spread of coronavirus. Kingston Council announced on social media last week that the beaches would close for the weekend “for the
safety of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic”. No swimming, sunbathing, or congregating was allowed during the weekend closure period. Beach paths for walking could still be accessed. Kingston beaches remain closed for gathering and sunbathing, but can be used to walk, exercise, or swim. Beaches on Frankston closed from midnight 27 March, while the Morn-
ington Peninsula Shire also announced the closure of their beaches “until further notice”. The beach closures are the latest measures introduced to stop people from gathering together during the COVID-19 pandemic. The state government announced that on the spot fines could now be handed to people in violation of the new gathering rules. Premier Daniel Andrews said “my
message to every Victorian is that there are only four reasons to leave your home, food and supplies, medical care, exercise, and work or education. That’s why we are also restricting gatherings to no more than two people except for members of your immediate household and for work or education.” On the spot fines of up to $1,652 for individuals and up to $9,913 for busi-
nesses are applicable if the new guidelines aren’t followed. “Life is going to look very different for a while but if we don’t make these changes now, the virus will continue to spread, and our health system will be overwhelmed,” Mr Andrews said. “To flatten the curve, we are all going to have to sacrifice a lot. But it may be the most important thing we ever do.”

pressure on local health resources. Holiday homes and AirBnB properties are reportedly popular isolation destinations for people whose primary place of residence is in metropolitan Melbourne. “Is it not preferable to have confirmed and isolated people stay in their principle place of residence where the medical services and infrastructure is better matched to the permanent population, rather than adding to the health capacity challenges in a region like the Mornington Peninsula?”

Council approves rate relief Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council has ticked off a care package for people affected by the fallout from COVID-19. One of the key measures in the support package is a deferral of rate payments until 30 June 2021 by application. Those applications will be considered “in accordance with council’s hardship policy”. Council will also waive unpaid interest on overdue rates from 2019/2020, and will not collect interest on overdue rates until after 30 June next year. Rent will also be waived for community and sporting clubs for a year, and the parent portion of childcare fees “where necessitous circumstances apply” will not be collected. Current year Health and Food Premises registration and Footpath Trading permit fees will be refunded. The mayor Georgina Oxley said “there are many people and businesses in our community doing it really tough right now and it is important that council finds a way to help reduce that financial pressure.” “For those in our community struggling to pay their rates, we will defer payments to 30 June 2021 under our hardship policy,” Cr Oxley said. “We will also be waiving the family contribution to childcare fees for disadvantaged families, handing back food
business registration fees and footpath trading fees plus halting community and sports clubs rents for 12 months. “Many local businesses and vulnerable families have been severely impacted by this crisis, hopefully this assistance package can make a positive difference.” The animal registration payment date has also been extended until 30 June. Council says the support package is worth $2.8 million. It was approved at a special meeting of council on 30 March.

Hawthorn plans onto next stage
Rail to nowhere: The extension of the Frankston line is up in the air, and the business case has not been made public. Picture: Gary Sissons
Rail extension at a ‘standstill’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON MP Paul Edbrooke says that the Baxter rail extension will remain at a “standstill” until the business case is released. The proposed rail extension would see the Frankston line duplicated and electrified to Baxter, with two new stations at Langwarrin and Frankston East constructed. The business case was handed to the federal government in October last year, but has not been publicly released. Mr Edbrooke said “our community understands that the project is at a standstill until the federal government releases the business case for consideration of the costs and benefits.” The News has twice asked the office of federal urban infrastructure minis-
Police patrol
ter Alan Tudge whether the case will be released, and for updated costs for the project. Both times Mr Tudge’s office was asked, in November last year and March this year, the questions were not addressed. In March Mr Tudge’s office said that “the Victorian government has completed the federally funded preliminary business case. The federal government is currently considering the outcomes of the PBC.” “Currently, there is no state commitment towards funding, or towards the completion of a detailed business case, which would be the requisite next step prior to the project moving into the construction phase. We have $225 million committed towards its construction (“MP calls for release of Baxter business case”, The News, 17/3/20).” Mr Edbrooke told The News
when Hawthorn FC president Jeff Kennett announced that work would go on hiatus while the club deals with the financial fallout from COVID-19 (“Hawks’ Dingley Village plans on hold”, The News, 25/3/20). During the exhibition period between January and March, 30 submissions were made about the proposed amendments. 16 submissions were in favour of the changes, and 14 opposed.

“simply put, this is a 100 per cent federal Liberal Government broken promise on a billion dollar project they said they would build and didn’t even budget for”. Mr Edbrooke did not answer when asked if the federal government had communicated with the state government about funding for a further business case. Infrastructure Australia’s latest update of their priority list saw the expansion of public transport services in Frankston listed as a “priority initiative” (“Public transport expansion a priority”, The News, 2/3/20). While the rail extension sits in limbo, Frankston line users continue to suffer through more cancellations than any other rail users. More than 1500 Frankston line trains were cancelled last year, over 400 more than the next worst performing line.

500 police to enforce new virus rules
Arrests after car thefts
A POLICE operation has been set up to enforce containment measures brought in to help halt the spread of COVID-19. Police operation Sentinel has been set up to conduct spot checks on returning travellers, and enforce gathering bans. 500 police officers have been dedicated to the operation. Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Rick Nugent said “for police, it’s not just about fines or arrests but ensuring everyone in the community understands the serious risks associated with coronavirus and the importance of complying with the directions from the Chief Health Officer.” “People can be issued with an official warning, directed to return home, or charged on summons where a person repeatedly refuses to obey a direction or blatantly disregards the restrictions. People can also face heavy fines,” he said. “Already we have seen a degree of ignorance where people think it’s okay to just go out for breakfast or to see a friend when it’s absolutely not. “We also want to take advantage of Operational Sentinel to engage with the community, provide any further education around current requirements, and do everything we can to protect the safety of all Victorians. It gives police the opportunity to check on the health and wellbeing of those in self isolation, and see if they need any further support such as medical assistance. “So far, people are for the most part complying with the restrictions. We want to ensure that continues and people are showing each other the right amount of respect. People who ignore the restrictions are placing others at significant risk, which means more people will become infected.”

KINGSTON Council will ask the planning minister to assemble a panel to report on proposed amendments to Hawthorn Football Club’s Dingley Village homebase. The Hawks’ new training centre will feature an MCG sized training oval, as well as aquatic and gym facilities. A series of proposed amendments to Hawthorn’s plans would allow for the addition of a six court basketball stadium, medical centre, shop, café, and museum. After exhibiting the plans earlier this year, council has agreed to ask the planning minister to appoint an independent panel, which will provide a report to be considered again by council at a later date. The project hit a snag last month
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News
A POLICE investigation into a series of aggravated burglaries, theft of motor cars, and drug offences in the Caulfield area has resulted in four arrests. At around midday 25 March, A 30-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman were arrested at a property in Bentleigh. Police allege that they recovered an allegedly stolen Volkswagen and Toyota Hilux from the property, as well as a large number of personal documents and multiple keys believed to belong to stolen vehicles. Police also allege they found drugs, cash, and “controlled weapons” at the address. The arrested pair are assisting police with their enquiries. At around 1.15pm 28 March, a 27-year-old man and 30-year-old woman from Sandringham were arrested as part of the same police operation. Police executed a search warrant at an Abbott Street, Sandringham property at 6pm that day, and allegedly recovered a motorcycle, a large quantity of allegedly altered personal documents, and other allegedly stolen property. Police say they also found drugs, cash, and other items “connected to large scale drug trafficking”. The Sandringham pair were charged with offences including trafficking, possess drug of dependence, handle stolen goods, and possess proceeds of crime. They were remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. The operation is ongoing.
Driver blows over A WOMAN returned a breath test reading of nearly four times the legal limit in Somerville last week. Police pulled over the 26-year-old Carrum Downs resident on Eramosa Road East at around 8.30pm, 24 March. They allege that she was driving at 60kmph in a 40 zone. The woman returned a roadside breath test

reading of 0.185. Police say that she told them she had “drunk a bottle of wine throughout the afternoon and thought she would be right to drive”. The woman’s license was suspended and her car was impounded. She will face court at a later date.
Shot fired during arrest POLICE fired a shot at a man in Clayton last week during an attempted arrest. Police were called out to a house on Franklyn Street, Oakleigh East, at around 11pm, 25 March. They were told that six armed men with knives and a longarm firearm had forced entry into a house and assaulted two men. The alleged offenders fled in two vehicles. Police pursued one of the cars, a silver Holden commodore, and intercepted it on North Road near Beleura Grove. They approached the vehicle and arrested the male passenger. A police statement read that “the driver
refused to comply with police instructions and was seen attempting to access under his seat.” “A firearm was discharged by members and the driver exited the vehicle and ran from the scene. The area was patrolled but police were unable to locate him. “No one was injured during the intercept and the male passenger is currently assisting police with their enquiries.” The two victims of the assault at the home, aged in their 20s, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening hospital. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Frankston traders to close for lunch hour? preceding Easter and Monday after Easter week to 30th September (inclusive).YES or NO.” If in favor cross out “No”. These slips need not be named, but numbered, and the Secretary will keep a record in which the names could be recorded, corresponding with the numbers. In the event of a majority in favor, I think it would be possible to get the Council to make a by-law, which would be effective, to prevent any tradespeople from infringing same, and render them liable to prosecution. I have a list of the business establishments who would come under the system. Mr. H. Garrood seconded the proposition. The Chairman thought the proposal a good one, and said Mr. Lasslett was to be thanked for bringing it forward. He was of opinion that the dates could be improved on. Easter was a movable feast, and he suggested that the period of closing should be from 1st May to November 30th. Mr. Jennings said the arrangement if put into effect would be very beneflcial from a health point of view. He questioned if the matter was one the Association could take up. Mr. S. Lawrey – It is a question for the Traders’ Association. Mr. Laslett – If the plebiscite is favorable we can go the Council and ask that a by-law be brought in. The resolution omitting the dates was then carried. The Chairman moved and Mr. Lasslett seconded that dates during which the proposal shall operate be from
Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the Frankston Progress Association meeting on Tuesday last, Mr. A. E. Lasslett, J.P., said: – In many towns throughout Victoria and New South Wales, the tradespeople have adopted the system of closing their shops for an hour at lunch time. This system has, where tried, proved a great success. The advantages are many in adopting this system, but there are one or two that might specially be mentioned. As you well know, business people rarely have an undisturbed luncheon. The system is the means of overcoming that annoyance, and is therefore conducive to better digestion, and, as matter of course, better health. Tradespeople are also enabled to participate of the fresh air, and this tends to break the monotony of business life. I would move that a plebiscite of the business people of Frankston be taken, with a view of ascertaining whether the majority are in favor of closing their business establishments for one hour during certain months of the year. I would suggest 12.30 to 1.30, from April 1st to the Saturday preceding Easter, and after Easter week to 30th September. The method of obtaining the views of the tradespeople would be to have small slips printed, asking the following question: “Are you in favor of closing your business premises for 1 hour, 12.30 to 1.30 (for luncheon), during the following periods: 1st April to Saturday
May 1 to November 30. – Carried. In reply to Mr. Brody, it was explained that the voting would be by number and not by name. Monday, 29th March, was the date fixed for taking the vote, and Mr. Lasslett and the Secretary were appointed to distribute the voting papers and collect same. *** MR. George Young, orchardist, of Somerville, has just had published at the “Standard” office his catalogue of fruit frees. It is in pamphlet form, attractively arranged, and is well printed on special quality paper, and should serve as an excellent advertisement of the resources of the district. *** MR. F. R. Burton, late of the A.I.F. and a member of one of the oldest Frankston families, announces in another column that he has purchased the grocery business in Playne Street, lately carried on by Mrs. B. Hogan. Mr. Burton entered into possession this week. By conducting his business on modern lines and stocking only the best of goods, he hopes to secure a fair share of public patronage. *** REV. E. Tonkin, who is leaving shortly to take charge of the Cheltenham and Mentone Methodist Circuit, will conduct his final services at Tyabb, 11 a.m.; Somerville, 3 p.m.; Frankston, 7 p.m., on Sunday next. Sunday evening services at the Frankston Anglican and Methodist Churches will begin at 7 p.m., instead of 7.30 p.m., as in the summer

Clubs still face FV fees, charges SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie A FOOTBALL Victoria statement issued last week has been met with disbelief and derision by local clubs. At a time when all competition and training is suspended at least until 14 April the state federation has said player registration costs and other fees and charges will continue to be levied. In part the statement said: “Clubs remain obliged to pay any competition administration or registration fee, zone/association fee (if applicable), member federation fee and FFA’s national registration fee (governing body costs) out of the registration fees they collect per participant.” Langwarrin, Mornington and Strikers are the only local clubs with junior NPL licences and may face demands for refunds from parents who have paid fees ranging from $1080 to $2200. All clubs also face the prospect of losing revFee furore: Peninsula Strikers president Adrian Scialpi (left) and Langwarrin president Tanya Wallace at this year’s Wallace Cup presentation.

enue from sponsors whose businesses are affected by the coronavirus pandemic. For Victorian soccer a perfect storm is forming and Strikers president Adrian Scialpi was scathing of FV’s response to the current crisis. “For them to go public and announce that right now is absolutely ludicrous,” Scialpi said. “To think it could be business as usual, well, to be honest I don’t know what planet these guys are on sometimes. “To me they seem to have lost touch with grassroots football as there’s a realistic chance that we won’t get a game in this season. “For them to release a statement like that expecting clubs to still be liable for these registration fees and competition fees just proves how out of touch they are.” While FV’s statement remains on the federation’s website it didn’t last long on its facebook page as it triggered such a strong backlash that it was quickly removed. “These are extraordinary times and have created a situation that has not as yet been resolved,” FV president Kimon Taliadoros said. “We will need to work with the clubs at the first opportunity to recover as much of the season as possible and determine what that then means.”
Riddle Me That takes out Bendigo Guineas HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou THE Matt Laurie-trained Riddle Me That has topped off an impressive campaign with a narrow but decisive victory in the Listed Bendigo Guineas on Saturday 28 March. The three-year-old son of Deep Field kicked off his preparation in fine form with a dominant victory at Pakenham before having a luckless run at Flemington when posted three-wide the entire trip and still managing to secure second place. The gelding turned the tables on the victor from last start, Spend, with a narrow head victory in the $150,000 Bendigo Guineas. Given the perfect ride from jockey Daniel Stackhouse, the gutsy gelding managed to sit one-out, one-back behind Spend in the running after drawing barrier 10. In a three-way drive to the finish between Spend, Riddle Me That and the John Sadler-trained Score, the toughness of the Matt Laurie-trained galloper eventually came to the fore with a length margin covering the first four
past the post. Mornington-based trainer Matt Laurie said the gelding just continues to improve with every preparation. “He’s a tough horse and he’s got that galloping style where he really gets his nose out and it was enough to get the job done today,” Laurie said post-race. “He ran particularly well at Flemington and we had another wide draw here today which was a little bit disappointing, but it was a great ride by Daniel, and it was good to see him get the win.” As for where the gelding heads to next, Laurie said it was currently undecided because of the unpredictable nature at the moment with the coronavirus restrictions. “I think this horse can continue to improve – he’s done that every preparation,” he said. “Honestly, I’d have to go through the calendar and talk to the owners about what we do next time now that everything has been thrown into disarray but certainly this was a target and it was good to get it done.” The victory took Riddle Me That’s rating to 79, with his current record now standing at four wins and four placings from 10 career starts.
