“Council has been supporting businesses through this entire process, from application through to installation. Over the coming weeks we look forward to rolling out more parklets in Highett and Aspendale,” he said. “This is just one of the many ways that Kingston Council has been helping hospitality businesses to recover from COVID-19 trading restrictions. Council has been working with businesses to find practical ways to assist them to expand their outdoor dining

options, while still ensuring they are COVID-safe. “Council has waived fees for outdoor dining permits and dining popup licenses and has been streamlining application processes wherever outdoor dining can be safely established.” Permits for the temporary parklets expire on 29 June, 2021. The outdoor parklets can be found in Mordialloc at The Sporting Globe, Chilled@Mordy, Siesta Café, Mordi Supper Club, and Mordi Cellar Door.

Intersection reopens WORKS on the intersection at Wells Road and Thames Promenade have finished early. The intersection shut on 2 January to allow for the demolition of the roundabout. Lights have been installed and cars are now back on the road. Major Road Projects Victoria says that “while the road was closed, we removed more than 4800 square metres of materials to remove the roundabout and widen the road, laid 2650 tonnes of

material for the base of the new intersection, placed 5000 tonnes of asphalt, installed new public lighting, and switched on the traffic lights.” “Now that we’ve built the new intersection, we’ll close the southbound exit ramp at Thames Promenade that was temporarily open during the closure. We’ll complete the finishing touches while we build the northbound entry ramp and open them permanently in late 2021.”

NEW outdoor dining parklets have begun to open up. Kingston Council fast-tracked the approval process for temporary outdoor dining spaces last year. Six new parklets have now opened up across Mordialloc and Moorabbin. Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said these are “the first of several parklets we’ll start to see temporarily replacing car parking spaces in Kingston, to help cafes and restaurants provide additional capacity for diners, while remaining COVID-safe.”

A FREE clinic to help teach boaters how to maintain their life jackets is coming to Patterson Lakes Transport Safety Victoria’s FloatSafe program pilot began this month. MSV recreational boating safety manager Gareth Johnson said “if you’ve fallen into the water unexpectedly and you get yourself in trouble, having a life jacket that doesn’t inflate isn’t much good to you.” “If you own an inflatable lifejacket in Victoria, you should be performing regular checks to make sure it is going to work when you need it. This program is about familiarising boaters with their lifejackets so that they can conduct these checks effectively.” FloatSafe attendees also receive a $30 voucher from a local retailer for a new lifejacket, service kit, or other safety equipment. The clinic runs at Patterson Lakes on 17 February at 4pm, 5pm, 6pm,
