Awards for outstanding young citizens Council wish to set the course of golf future
A VOLUNTEER helping advocate for LGBTQIA+ youth and a group helping provide homeless people with bare necessities have both been recognised at Kingston’s annual youth awards. Oliver Robertson was awarded the young citizen of the year award for his work with young LGBTQIA+ people. He volunteers his time work-
ing with young people, and focuses particularly on helping advocate for transgender people. Beau Arnfield and Josh Firmin accepted the young community group of the year award on behalf of Spair Pair. The duo co-founded the group with the aim of helping homeless people. The group aims to make sure that homeless people have access to
the bare necessities, and has donated over 500 pairs of socks to date.

Continued from Page 1 The letter sent by council to the state government states that “given council’s extensive local knowledge and experience in considering and assessing applications of this nature, it is council’s view that all golf course rezoning applications should be submitted to council for consideration in its capacity as the planning authority.” “Council’s adopted golf course policy reaffirms existing planning scheme policies which support and protect golf courses and seeks to protect the recreational, landscape and environmental benefits the courses provide to the community,” the letter read. “A primary objective of this policy is to ensure that where a club is economically unviable and should the landowner wish to cease golf operations on the site, that the land retains its primary function as open space. “The open space, amenity and landscape value provided by existing golf courses is significant, irreplaceable and should be pre-eminent in considering any proposals for golf course redevelopment.” There are 11 golf courses in the Kingston municipality, most of which are privately owned. Submissions can be made and more information is available at engage.vic.gov.au/golf-courseredevelopment-standing-advisorycommittee
