Residents unhappy about golf course plans More Mordi Freeway works close road
Continued from page 1 Save Kingswood Group Inc opposed the previous proposal, and has spoken out again against the new plans. The group’s president, Kevin Poulter, slammed the proposal put forward this week. “The latest application indicates 823 lots, each less than 300 square metres, and a reduction in car parking plus many more nasties. We are outraged that the developer could even dream of such an insidious plan,” he said. Mr Poulter said that “micro housing, narrow streets, and not enough parking” all posed issues. “Plus hundreds of extra children with insufficient schools and no high school. It makes a mockery of the statement from [AustralianSuper] on their website that they consulted residents,” he said. Last month Kingston Council mayor Steve Staikos said “council will be making a very comprehensive submission to the standing advisory committee on behalf of our community, but it is really important that the community also adds its voice and lets the committee know how it feels about the proposed rezoning and development application for the site (“Committee will consider golf course future”, The News, 26/5/21)”.

SPRINGVALE Road between Wells and Pillars roads will shut this week to allow for more works on the Mordialloc Freeway. From Friday 2 July until Tuesday 6 July, the road will shut from 8pm to 6am weeknights and from 8pm to 7am on weekends. While the road is shut, bridge beams will be installed over the road. Project crews have recently finished building bridge abutments and centre supports for the bridge. Motorists will have to take detours via Wells Road and Lower Dandenong Road while works take place. The Mornington Peninsula Freeway will still be accessible travelling southbound on Springvale Road, or via Wells Road and Thames Promenade. The bus stops at Pillars Road and Waterways Boulevard will both be closed during the closure period. Visit ptv.vic.gov.au to find an alternative stop.
Course set for ninjas FANCIED competitors in the Australian Ninja Warrior TV show which returned to Channel 9 last week train together on the Mornington Peninsula. The show aired on Sunday 20 June with Zak Stolz making it into semi-final one on Tuesday 29 June and Charlie Robbins heading straight into the grand final after winning the Power Tower in Heat 4. Ashlin Herbert also heads straight to the grand final after winning the Power Tower in Heat 2 and Troy Cullen makes it to the semi-finals. Sarah Blackmore doesn’t make it but will cheer on the Mornington ninjas from the sidelines. As one of the top ninjas, Herbert returns for his fifth season of Australian Ninja Warrior and is said to be “hungry for the win after a surprise elimination in the semi-finals last year”.
