Childcare fury
Childcare plans proceed despite objections
Brodie Cowburn
brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A PERMIT has been granted to build a childcare centre on the corner of Humphries Road and Sybil Avenue in Frankston South despite nearly 200 objections from residents.
Frankston Council granted the permit for 253 Humphries Road at a meeting last week. 177 residents submitted objections to the proposal. Objections submitted to council
mentioned negative impacts on local traffic network/movement, pedestrian safety, car parking limitations, inappropriate use within a residential area, the existence of child care centres within the local area, inconsistency with planning controls and neighbourhood character, vegetation removal, noise, the site’s location within a bushfire area, and property devaluation.
Among the objectors was resident Andrew Nicou - the 77-year-old said
“there were 177 objections, a lot of people went to the trouble to write to the council due to environmental, traffic, and safety concerns, but the council didn’t take that into account at all.”
“My main issue is, having lived in Hampton where we had a childcare centre opposite our home, the amount of traffic build-up that was creating issues for residents. If you parked outside your mirrors would be knocked off, parents get aggressive and start arguing, and I have seen accidents oc-
cur when cars come through and people get hurt,” he said. “Common sense says most parents will park on Sybil Avenue as it is a lot quieter. Right now everyone walks along the road, as we have no useable footpaths. So we have to walk on the road, pushing trolleys, walking dogs, and jogging.
“I’m not against childcares and kinders, just at the correct locations. We are the ratepayers and you would think the council would look after us instead of big business.”
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said “had council declined the planning permit, it would’ve had very poor grounds to successfully defend its decision at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.”
“The matter has been extensively examined by council and the outcome is a reflection of the reality that as our population continues to grow, we need to provide childcare opportunities for our community,” he said.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2025
Election campaign officially begins
A DATE has been set for the 2025 federal election.
The election will be held on 3 May.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the election date at a press conference last Friday, 28 March.
Incumbent MP Jodie Belyea will contest Dunkley for Labor. Former mayor Nathan Conroy is the Liberal candidate. Robert Thurley and Andrew Gatley have declared their intention to run as independents. Matt Maber has been named as The Greens’ candidate, Jessica Davis will be One Nation’s candidate for Dunkley, and Family First will run pastor Peter Nicholes as its candidate. Last Friday after calling the election, Albanese spruiked his future plans.
“Take 20 percent off your student debt
and cut taxes again and again for every taxpayer next year and the year after.
Our top-up tax cuts will mean an average tax cut of more than $2500,” he said. “And only a vote for Labor is a vote for stronger Medicare. The biggest ever investment in bulk billing for all Australians, so you can see a GP for free wherever you live. Cheaper medicines, capping the cost of a PBS script to no more than $25.
“Today, because of all the hard work that Australians have done, inflation is down, real wages are up, unemployment is low, interest rates are falling, and we’re cutting taxes for every taxpayer again. In challenging times, we have laid very strong foundations. We want to keep building.”
Opposition leader Peter Dutton returned serve later in the day during his budget reply, saying “we oppose these tax cuts and will repeal them – because we think there is a better way to provide assistance to Australians.
“We will provide immediate cost-ofliving relief for Australians. A Coalition government will halve the fuel excise for 12 months, and then we’ll review it, and we’ll make sure that that comes in on the first day that our Parliament sits,” he said. “A Coalition government will do three things. First, we will rein-in inflationary spending. Second, we will reduce the cost of energy. And third, we will strengthen the economy to work for you.”

Road money in the budget
THE federal budget was handed down by the treasurer last week, confirming funding for two major projects in Dunkley.
Funding was announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese last month for Bruce Park in Frankston and upgrades for the intersections of Nepean Highway and Overton Road, and Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Thompsons Road. The budget unveiled last week contains the money for the projects, Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea said.
Bruce Park will receive $5 million for upgrade works. $50 million was promised for Nepean Highway and Overton Road, and $25 million was committed for Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Thompsons
Road. Money promised earlier this year for the redevelopment of the intersection of McLeod Road and Station Street in Carrum was also included.
Belyea said the federal government is “delivering more tax relief for every Australian taxpayer, more energy bill relief and cheaper medicines – all of which builds on what we’ve already delivered.”
“This is a responsible budget that further helps with the cost of living now while building Australia’s future,” she said. “I will continue to be a strong local voice for Dunkley - delivering major road upgrades for the community, upgrades to sporting clubs, and more bulk billing for all Australians”

Police investigate assault
A MAN was seriously injured in Frankston last month after he was hit in the head with a metal pole by a stranger.
Police allege the victim, a 50-yearold Sandhurst man, was approached by an unknown person at around 1pm on 8 March. The man allegedly hit the victim in the face with a metal pole.
Police say the offender, who was not known to the victim, continued on to Park Lane. He is still at large.
Police have released images of a man they believe can assist with their enquiries. Contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au to help police.
Crime rate on the rise
CRIME rates in Frankston are the highest they have been in a decade, with new statistics showing that more than 17,000 offences were investigated by local police last year.
Criminal offences in Frankston rose by more than 16 percent in 2024 compared to 2023. There were a whopping 17,374 criminal offences recorded in the Frankston municipality last year - the criminal offence rate per 100,000 was the highest since 2016. Frankston’s criminal offence rate per 100,000 people is around 12,000, a huge increase on the statewide average of 8691.
Nearly 9000 of the offences recorded last year occurred in the Frankston suburb. Seaford was the next worst affected with just over 2700 offences recorded, while in Carrum Downs there were 2391. 1190 offences were recorded in Langwarrin, and 906 in Frankston North.
Breach of family violence order was the most commonly recorded offence in the Frankston LGA, closely followed by steal from a motor vehicle. More than 5000 crimes at houses took place.
Of all the offences recorded by police in the Frankston LGA last year around 47.7 percent resulted in an arrest and summons. A little more than 38 percent are unsolved.
In the Kingston municipality offences recorded in 2024 were roughly the same as in 2023, rising by just 0.2 percent. In the Mornington Peninsula Shire offences recorded rose by 28 percent. Statewide recorded offences
increased by 13.2 percent.
Victoria Police deputy commissioner regional operations Bob Hill said the crime rise is “due to a range of complex issues impacting our state.”
“We completely understand the community concerns around young offenders breaking into homes, stealing cars, and putting other people at risk on our roads. Be assured that police are arresting the state’s worst young offenders again and again - youth gang members, child car thieves and underage burglars were arrested 3,400 times last year as part of Operation Alliance and Operation Trinity,” he said. “As a society, we simply cannot tolerate this level of offending. The time has come for Victorians to feel safe in their homes again and for young offenders to be held accountable.
“Victoria Police have worked with government around the critical need to strengthen bail laws. We welcome last week’s announcement and have every confidence that the changes will lead to a reduction in youth offending and crimes such as aggravated burglaries.”
The latest figures were revealed by the Crime Statistics Agency. CSA chief statistician Fiona Dowsley said “the rate of theft offences being recorded per 100,000 Victorians has exceeded historical peaks, driven by record-high numbers of steal from motor vehicle, steal from retail store and motor vehicle theft offences recorded by Victoria Police in 2024.”
“These increasingly prevalent theft offences can be opportunistic in nature and may be linked to cost of living pressures, especially for increases in shoplifting where increases are linked to adult offenders often in their 30s. Younger alleged offenders tend to be involved in theft offences involving motor vehicles,” she said.
Female apprentice harassed - court
AN ELECTRICIAN has been fined after the Frankston Magistrates Court found that he had harassed and bullied a young woman working as an apprentice.
The court heard that the company director, a 33-year-old Frankston South man, had repeatedly engaged in inappropriate behaviour towards the apprentice. That included making suggestive comments and gestures of a sexual nature, grabbing her clothes and speaking to her in an aggressive manner, sending her abusive intimidating text messages, touching her leg while seated in a work vehicle, rubbing her hair after being told not to, licking her eating utensils and eating her food, spitting into her water bottle, deliberately bumping into her, deliberately mispronouncing her middle name, and making derogatory remarks about her partner.
The company director pleaded guilty to one charge of failing to ensure a workplace under his management and control was safe and without risks to health. He was fined $15,000, and ordered to pay a further $3000 in costs. He has also apologised to the victim in writing.
The alleged behaviour occurred between September 2022 and April 2023.
In a statement, WorkSafe said its investigation “found there were no policies or procedures at the workplace for reporting, investigating and stopping inappropriate behaviours.” WorkSafe executive director of health and safety Sam Jenkin said “the offending was a grotesque breach of trust and the standards expected of those who employ apprentices.”
“All workers, especially young workers who are just finding their way in the workforce, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by
their employer and colleagues,” Jenkin said.
“This is simply unacceptable behaviour from anyone, but appalling from a company director who was in a clear position of power, and I applaud the courage of this apprentice in speaking out.”
Two injured in crash
TWO people have been taken to hospital after a crash involving an allegedly stolen car in Langwarrin.
Police allege that a stolen Nissan Pulsar crashed into another car on North Road at the intersection of McClelland Drive at around 10.15pm, 25 March. The driver of each car was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police allege that the car was stolen from Cranbourne West during an aggravated burglary at around 12pm, 25 March.
The driver of the Nissan Pulsar is expected to be interviewed by police once he is released from hospital. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au to assist police.

HERITAGE GARDEN PARTY
Calls to scrap childcare plans
Continued from page 1
At the meeting, Bolam told councillors that the decision “demonstrated to the public that [councillors] are able to separate what is popular from what’s right.”
“I think you have made the right decision in terms of not exposing raterpayers to having them litigated at a VCAT hearing,” he said. “Residents do have third-party rights so the onus is now on them if that’s something they want to pursue.
“This is the first real decision you’ve made as a new council where it’s probably something that, although it was the right decision to make, you’re going to go home and probably feel a little sore. But you’ll wake up tomorrow and life will go on.”
Objectors are considering making a VCAT appeal. They will engage a town planner first to assess the case.
Councillor David Asker, who began his speech by saying “I wish I was at home watching the Mandalorian right now and not being here tonight”, said council had to “adjudicate with facts and not passion”.
“It’s probably a good time to remind, especially the new councillors, that being a good councillor is not about how many likes you get on Facebook. It’s not about making friends, or certainly not about winning a beauty contest. It’s about adjudicating in a fair and impartial manner without favour or bias given the information presented before us.”
Councillors Brad Hill and Steffie Conroy opposed the decision to grant
a permit. Hill said “this is not a case of a couple of ‘Karens’, if you like, without real complaints. I did visit this street. It’s a special place - lots of birds, lots of trees, and above all tranquility.”
The proposal approved is for a single-storey building with a basement car park, and vehicle and pedestrian access provided off Sibyl Avenue. The ground level will host eight activity rooms each catering for vary-
ing age groups, toilets, a reception and office, a staff room, a planning room, a kitchen, an area for parents, and a stairwell and lift to the basement.
Council officers recommended that
the permit be approved and wrote that the application had “undergone a thorough assessment taking into consideration the relevant planning policy and controls, referral comments and objections received.”

Basketball stadium project progresses
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A CONTRACT worth nearly $50 million has been awarded for the redevelopment of the Frankston Basketball and Gymnastics Stadium.
The preferred option for the project, which features six new basketball courts and a dedicated gymnastics hall, was endorsed by Frankston Council at the end of 2023. The total estimated project cost was $60 million - the state and federal governments have both agreed to put in $15 million, and the remaining $30 million will come from Frankston ratepayers.
Last week, Ireland Brown Constructions Pty Ltd was awarded a contract worth a little over $49.73 million to undertake the project.
Frankston Basketball CEO Wayne Holdsworth said “this redevelopment is about more than just basketball. It’s about creating a space that encourages participation at all levels - especially among young girls, women, and people with a disability.”
“The economic and social impact of this project will be enormous, and we can’t wait to see it take shape,” he said.
The motion approved by Frankston councillors last week read that “the ongoing annual maintenance costs for proposed Frankston Basketball and Gymnastics Stadium is estimated around $180,000 excluding GST per annum, and as such will require nec-
essary adjustment in 2027/28 operating budget for the facilities management.”
The officer’s recommendation “notes that officers have been engaged in ongoing lease negotiations with Frankston District Basketball Association and Bayside Gymnastics Club and are proposing that a maintenance contribution is included in the lease. This contribution is proposed to incrementally increase over the first six years of the lease term until the tenants assume full responsibility for the maintenance costs.” Council officers have been authorised to establish a cash reserve “from any unexpended project funds to offset the maintenance costs incurred by council associated with the redeveloped facility.”

Top honours to residents at history awards
THE Mornington Peninsula and Langwarrin have emerged as standout regions at this year’s Victorian Community History Awards, with local projects earning top accolades.
One of the highlight winners was art curator and writer Rodney James of Tootgarook who took out the top prize of the Premier’s History Award for his book, Letters to a Critic: Alan McCulloch’s World of Art, which was described by the judges as “an artwork in itself”.
McCulloch, who founded the-then Mornington Peninsula Arts Centre in 1969, was one of Australia’s longest-practising art critics who championed emerging artists and promoted a new awakening in modern art in Melbourne in the 1960s.
James, who has been based on the Gold Coast for work, flew into Melbourne to be at the awards ceremony in Southbank on 24 March. He said the award had been a huge honour and a “great recognition” for McCulloch family.
“It’s very exciting,” he told The Times, noting the award was still sinking in.
“When you spend so long on something as big as this, there’s a lot of people that help you along the journey, so they have been fantastic.”
James added he was impressed by the “really diverse and quite amazing group of other writers and projects” among the shortlisted recipients.
Another art history book titled Victoria’s Earliest Porcelain Works: Art Pottery, Crockery and Insulators by Gregory Hill of Langwarrin was awarded the History Publication Award.
Hill, a collector of Australian pottery and a researcher of 50 years, told The Times it was a “great honour and pleasant surprise” and has “certainly never happened before”.
He said the book which delves into the formative years of Victoria’s porcelain industry, bridging the 19th and 20th centuries, was a companion
to another book he had published two years ago focusing on the earliest potteries of Victoria.
Speaking about why he enjoyed pottery and porcelain history over the past 40 years of his research, he said, it was the “collecting of such items because it was an unknown part of Australia’s history and their art history” during the 70s and 80s.
“You could go to trash and treasure markets and places like that, and you could find things that would genuinely of artistic value but nobody else would recognise it,” he said.
But as that generation has passed on, Hill had “changed more to researching those people and those potteries and the history of the industry as such”.
Another winning work at the awards ceremony was River to Bay: Victoria’s Maritime History by Carole Wilkinson with illustrations by Dromana resident of more than 40 years Prue Pittock –with the book claiming the Small History Publication Award.
Pittock said it was “very exciting” and thanked the collaboration of the Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network for bringing the book to fruition.
She said while the book was aimed at primary school students, it was also “handy for adults too as you get a nice snippet of the history without ploughing through volumes of historical records”.
“I thoroughly enjoy doing the research on these non-fiction historical books, you learn so much.”
The awards were presented by Government Services Minister Natalie Hutchins who said the “dedication of local historians not only preserves Victoria’s history but tells us more about who we are and will inspire future generations”.

Frankston explores ties with US
FRANKSTON Council is considering entering a partnership with a capital city in the United States.
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam travelled to Maryland in February to meet with the Annapolis City Council and its mayor Gavin Buckley. The two discussed potential partnerships and exchanged ideas.
Annapolis City Council has voted to enter a “friendship city” agreement with Frankston Council, which differs from the “sister city” arrangement Frankston Council maintains with Susono in Japan. Frankston Council is set to consider the agreement at a meeting in May.
Bolam, who paid for the trip at his own expense, said “it was a privilege to meet with may-
or Buckley and explore opportunities for collaboration, from environmental initiatives to urban revitalisation. Strengthening our ties through a potential ‘friendship city’ agreement will allow us to share knowledge, ideas, and best practices for the benefit of both our communities.”
While tensions between the United States and the rest of the world are growing, Bolam said “Australia and the United States have shared, and will continue to share, a deep and enduring bond.”
Annapolis mayor Gavin Buckley said “the ties between Australia and the United States are long and enduring. I truly believe that fostering international cooperation and understanding is key to navigating our globally complex world.”
Rail loop consultation underway
THE Level Crossing Removal project has begun consultation on its precinct plans at Suburban Rail Loop train stations.
The rail loop is planned to begin on the Frankston line at a new train station built next to Southland Shopping Centre on Sir William Fry Reserve.
The state government is working on plans for the precincts surrounding the station, which will include allowances for increased housing development.
The Cheltenham and Clayton precincts include proposed building heights ranging from four storeys to 18 storeys. It also includes proposals for open space, cycling connections, and community facilities.
To provide feedback visit engage.vic.gov.au/ srl-east-structure-planning by 22 April.

Greenways: A new lifestyle
Why choose a retirement village? For some it’s location, facilities, or services. For others its low maintenance, or new home features. But for most, it’s the promise of a thriving, social, welcoming and supportive lifestyle that is so important.
Greenways Retirement Village offers a lifestyle few can match. It boasts an active, fun and happy community in bayside Seaford, the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. Being one of the few privately owned villages in
Victoria, it puts people first, and has done for over 48 years. This means that the opportunities to socialise, meet new friends and get involved at the village are encouraged and supported at all levels.
At the heart of the village, the Greenways Community Centre is always busy. Residents come together regularly for a cuppa, an activity or to share a meal in the village restaurant. Residents embrace the many activities on offer as well as events, fundraisers, market days and
cocktail parties (to name a few!). So, whether it be dining events or themed functions such as Australia Day BBQs, Anzac Day Ceremonies, Spring Carnival celebrations, or Village Fashion Shows. Or regular activities such as a trivia competition, birthday celebrations, bingo, movie afternoons or games groups. Or, for the sports lovers, there’s a private village bowling green and club house, regular indoor bowls sessions, pool/billiards and the village fitness centre.
Whatever your interest. Greenways could be just the right fit for you.
Choose from newly refurbished one, two and three bedroom villa units or the convenience and ease of one bedroom apartments close to the village club centre. Apartments start from $311,000 and villa units from $386,000. Greenways Village is at 330 FrankstonDandenong Road, Seaford. Telephone (03) 9786 8679. www.greenwaysvillage.com.au

Benefits of living in a Retirement Village
AS Australians age, ensuring a comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle becomes a growing priority. For many older Victorians, a retirement village offers an ideal solution, combining independence with a sense of belonging to a community. Well run retirement villages that have trusted operators, such as Centennial Living are popular because they offer a range of benefits that support both overall well-being and life enjoyment.
1. Safety and Security
One of the primary advantages of living in a retirement village is the enhanced safety and security it provides. In Victoria, retirement villages (unlike other lifestyle, land lease communities) are subject to the stringent regulations of the Retirement Village Act 1986 that ensure residents are protected. Retirement villages are typically gated or equipped with security features such as well-lit paths, and emergency call systems in every unit.
2. Low Maintenance Living
Retirement villages are designed to relieve residents of the burdens of home maintenance. Lawn care, home repairs, and maintenance tasks are generally taken care of by the village management, which allows residents to focus on leisure, hobbies, or spending time with family. This reduces stress and eliminates the physical strain that comes with managing a larger property and home.
3. Access to Services and Amenities
As people get older, they often prefer to be located close to essential services such as healthcare facilities, public transport, and shopping centres for ease and convenience. Many villages offer on-site amenities like gyms, swimming pools, and libraries, fostering an active and social lifestyle.
4. Sense of Community and Social Opportunities
One of the most valued aspects of retirement
village living is the sense of community it fosters. Many Victorians find that as they age, their social circles begin to shrink. A retirement village offers an opportunity to form new friendships and engage in social activities such as exercise classes, movie nights, and group outings. This social network is vital for mental health, helping to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation that are common among older Australians.
5. Financial Predictability
Retirement villages in Victoria typically offer a range of accommodation options and pricing structures which can provide financial stability. For many, moving into a retirement village helps to simplify finances, particularly when compared to maintaining a home. The predictable fees for services and maintenance ensure that costs are transparent, helping retirees manage their budgets more effectively.

DenturePoint - crafting smiles, restoring confidence
When it comes to dentures, there’s a world of difference between a standard set and a natural-looking smile. At DenturePoint, Maggie and her team understand that creating dentures is more than just a technical process - it’s an art form. Every patient is unique, and so is their smile. That’s why DenturePoint takes pride in crafting dentures that look as natural as possible, ensuring comfort, functionality, and beauty.
A Personal Touch for Natural Results
What makes DenturePoint stand out is the attention to detail. Achieving a natural look requires more than just high-quality materials; it takes experience, skill, and an artistic eye. Sometimes, it’s the slightest rotation of a tooth or a subtle adjustment in the shape or color that makes all the difference. Maggie knows how to blend these elements seamlessly, ensuring the dentures complement the patient’s facial features and personality. Whether you need full dentures or just a partial set, the goal is always the same - a confident smile that feels like your own.
Invisible Partial Dentures with Valplast®
For those needing partial dentures, DenturePoint offers a cutting-edge solution: Valplast® flexible dentures. This original, high-quality material blends perfectly with the natural color of your gums, making the denture almost invisible. Valplast® is especially ideal for filling small gaps, providing a comfortable fit and a discreet, natural appearance. No one will know
you’re wearing them - and that’s exactly the point!
Technology Meets Comfort
DenturePoint combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to ensure a smooth experience from start to finish. One innovation that sets the clinic apart is its use of the 3Shape oral scanner. Forget the uncomfortable gagging caused by traditional impressions - this high-tech scanner creates a
precise digital model of your teeth and gums, ensuring a perfect fit with no discomfort. The result is a quicker process, greater accuracy, and a far more pleasant experience for patients. Your Smile, Your Choice
Every smile is unique, and DenturePoint understands that personal preference plays a big role in crafting the perfect denture. Some patients prefer a flawless Hollywood smile, while others want
a more natural look that reflects their character. At DenturePoint, the choice is yours. Maggie works closely with each patient to design a smile that meets their needs and exceeds their expectations. Why Settle for Less?
Dentures don’t have to look artificial. With the right materials, a skilled technician, and a personal touch, they can look and feel just like natural teeth. At DenturePoint, every set
of dentures is crafted with care and precision to give patients the confidence to smile again. If you’re considering dentureswhether full, partial, or just exploring your options - DenturePoint is here to help. Schedule a consultation with Maggie and discover how artistry and technology come together to create the perfect smile.

7 things to consider before buying a lift
RESIDENTIAL elevators are fast becoming a must-have in two-storey homes, particularly for those who want to stay in their home as they age.
When choosing a lift for your home, these are the factors you should consider.
1. Size - Most people assume that home elevators need a significant footprint, but with continuing advancements in design, there are now lifts on the market invented specifically for residential use.
At less than one square metre, The Mirage, by RESiLIFT, is the most compact home lift on the market that comfortably fits two people. And the innovative, through-floor design leaves space within the room when the lift is on the other level. RESiLIFT also offers two larger models, and a trained salesperson can help you choose the right lift for you based on your needs, floor plan and space.
2. Purpose - It may sound obvious, but it is important to consider why you want a lift. At first, it might be for transporting groceries from your garage to an upper level. But as time goes on, and your mobility support needs increase, it may be essential to have a lift car that caters for a walking aid or wheelchair. Taking a longerterm view of your potential needs is essential in determining the best lift for your home.
3. Location - Location - Ideally lifts should be located centrally to make it easily accessible when moving between levels. As well as the lift itself, you need to allow room for the building works required and the clearances including circulation space around an open door. Creating a suitable space for a lift in an existing home requires careful thought. The beauty of RESiLIFT is that it has minimal visual impact so can be placed almost anywhere in the home and still blend into the existing décor.
4. Operation - Some lifts are fully automated, which means that the user must be fully enclosed during operation. This begs the question of how to evacuate in the event of a power outage. Alternatively, non-automatic lifts, such as a RESiLIFT, require a competent operator to control movement with continuous pressure on the button to travel. This style of lift also requires a key to be inserted allowing the owner to isolate the lift when they are unable to supervise it.
5. Price - Installing a residential lift is often cheaper than moving house when you consider agent fees and stamp duty. However, the price for residential lifts varies significantly, ranging from around $30,000 plus $3,000 for building works to $80,000 plus $40,000 for building works for larger, commercial-style lifts. Requiring only minimal building work, RESiLIFT is a cost-effective solution.
6. Servicing - Most lift companies require a maintenance contract consisting of services every three or six months. Because of the simple design, RESiLIFT only requires an annual service, which includes a safety inspection as per the Australian Standard. When choosing a lift, it pays to check the required service frequency and what the cost of these will be.
7. Customer Service - Unlike most other products, once you install a lift, you will be dealing with the same company for years to come. For this reason, it’s important to choose a reputable company that’s here to stay and is the right fit for you. If you would like help to choose a lift, please contact RESiLIFT for a free in-home consultation.

FRIDAY SOCCER

THURSDAY
MOVIE: THE DUKE
SBS WORLD MOVIES, 9.10pm, M (2020)
An eccentric pensioner steals a painting and it’s all for a worthy cause. Sometimes real life serves up the most fascinating stories, and this is the case with this comedy. This romp features an endearing Jim Broadbent (pictured left) as Kempton Bunton, a taxi driver who plunders Goya’s Portrait of the Duke of Wellington to persuade the government to invest more money in its care for veterans and senior citizens. Co-starring Helen Mirren, it’s a crime caper that grabs you by the heart.
As excitement builds for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup on home soil next year, the spotlight is once again on the Matildas. They’re yet to win a match in 2025, but interim coach Tom Sermanni will be praying that legions of cheering fans make a difference when the Tillies host Korea Republic in a pair of friendlies at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium (tonight) and in Newcastle (on Monday).
SATURDAY
DEATH IN PARADISE
ABC TV, 7.30pm
A familiar face returns to Death in Paradise this week, with Detective Sergeant Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert, pictured right) released from witness protection after two years – only to be plunged straight into an investigation on the neighbouring island of Saint Auguste. At first, Florence’s first case back on the force – the mysterious death of a British tourist – seems like a clearcut accident, but it’s not long before she and Darlene (Ginny Holder) have a more complicated murder investigation on their hands.
SUNDAY BOAT STORY
ABC TV, 9.05pm
The casting of delightfully droll actress and writer Daisy Haggard (Episodes Back to Life, Breeders, pictured left) is the first clue that Boat Story is not your average bleak British crime saga. Haggard brings hilarity to her role as Janet, a down-on-her-luck factory worker who, along with solicitor Samuel (Paterson Joseph, pictured above left with Haggard), stumbles across a boat filled with millions of pounds’ worth of cocaine and keeps the stash. Now that we’re the past the halfway mark, it’s time to learn more about Vinnie (Adam Gillen), but the clock is ticking as Janet and Samuel try to achieve an impossible task and avoid the wrath of The Tailor (Tchéky Karyo, Baptiste).

Seniors Loving Life!
Free support for seniors in Frankston
THERE are many wonderful things about getting older; time to explore hobbies, share your wisdom, and connect with loved ones and like-minded people. But aging also brings unique challenges that can impact mental health and wellbeing. For seniors aged 65 and over, Mental Health and Wellbeing Local in Frankston offers free, compassionate support to help you navigate these changes with understanding and care.
Life’s Transitions and Challenges
As we age, life often changes in unexpected ways. Health concerns, the loss of loved ones, adjusting to new living arrangements, or changes in physical ability can all bring emotional and physical challenges. Many seniors also find themselves taking on caregiving roles, which, while rewarding, can be demanding and isolating.
It’s natural to feel sadness, anxiety, or loneliness during these times, but you don’t have to face these feelings on your own.
Your Local Support, Close to Home Mental Health and Wellbeing Local in Frankston provides a welcoming and inclusive space where you can access support without the need for a Medicare card or GP referral. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by grief, adapting to a new stage of life, or simply looking for someone to talk to, we’re here to help.
How We Can Support You
At Mental Health and Wellbeing Local, we understand that every senior’s journey is unique. That’s why our services are designed to meet you where you are and provide the support that feels right for you:
• Talk Therapy and Peer Support: Speak with trained therapists and peer workers who have lived experience and truly understand the ups and downs of life’s transitions.
• Local Connections: Social connections are vital to wellbeing. Our Local Connections
program helps you build meaningful relationships and rediscover a sense of community.
• Creative and Therapeutic Programs: Expressive therapies like art to provide a powerful way to explore emotions, heal, and enjoy yourself.
• Alcohol and Other Drug Support: If substance use is affecting your wellbeing, our team offers non-judgmental, confidential support to help you regain balance and control.
A Safe and Inclusive Space for All We’re committed to providing care that respects your story, your culture, and your
individuality. Our inclusive, culturally safe environment ensures that you feel understood and valued every step of the way.
Reaching Out Is the First Step

Royal Freemasons a second home for Gary and Nola
BEFORE Gary was diagnosed with dementia in 2020, he and his wife Nola enjoyed house swaps on the coast and visiting family in Queensland.
Nola cared for Gary at their home for four years until he became a resident at Royal Freemasons in early 2024.
Happily married for 62 years, the couple took time getting used to aged care and living apart, but now that Gary has the high-level support he needs, a weight of worry has been taken off Nola’s shoulders.
“I’ve got to know the staff here so well, it feels like a second home for us,” says Nola. Gary particularly loves the musical performances arranged by the lifestyle teams.
“He loves the special concerts they have here and claps along to the music,” says Nola. For more information on our residential aged care homes, visit: royalfreemasons.org.au
Do you need support to live independently and safely at home?
Royal Freemasons offers a full range of In-home Support services to suit your needs.
Did You Know?
The percentage of people aged 65 or older with earwax impaction is reported to be as high as 34%!
Do you experience any of the following?
• Earache
• Itching
• Tinnitus (ringing and buzzing in the ears)
• Vertigo
• Hearing loss
These could be the complications of excessive or impacted earwax.
Why choose microsuction at Viva Hearing?
Microsuction has become widely recognised as the gold standard for efficient and safe earwax removal. This advanced procedure uses a specialised suction device under direct visualisation, allowing for precise and controlled removal of earwax while significantly reducing the risk of trauma to the ear canal and eardrum.
Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction is quick, comfortable, and does not require the prior use of eardrops. It is particularly beneficial for seniors looking to improve their hearing without the discomfort or potential infection risks associated with syringing.

Seniors Loving Life!
Introducing SHAMAC Lodge by After-Care
WHEN Shane and Max Kelly opted for a career change in the 1990’s they had no idea that 25 years later they would be opening the doors to their Cottage Respite home, SHAMAC Lodge!
Together, they chose to become qualified Personal Care Attendants, Max working at Rosebud Rehabilitation Centre and Shane working as an in-home carer for a number of agencies. Shanes duties as a carer involved transporting his clients to respite facilities which most were Aged Care Facilities. Shane soon realised that young men and women were required to go to these facilities because there was nowhere age appropriate for them to attend to give their Carers a well-deserved break. Shane said “you could always see a look of appreciation and relief knowing that both parties were going off to enjoy themselves without their significant others (carer). Shane went on to say that for him it was about the client, knowing that they could go somewhere, all be it an Aged Care Facility, they were able to be independent for that period and enjoy their own space.
However, the thought of leaving his 44 year old male client in an Aged Care facility was heart wrenching, Shane said “it always bought a tear to my eye walking out and leaving them however it was bitter sweet because my clients wife needed a well-deserved break”.
It was at that point that Shane went home to Max and said “I’ve had enough, mark my word Max, we are going to open a Cottage Respite Home where people of all ages can come and stay”
In the meantime, Shane and Max started After-Care (A’sia) and have become leaders on the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding suburbs in In-Home Care. Based locally in Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula, AfterCare offers all In-home care services including Home and Garden Maintenance.
Shane and Max said that although After-Care (A’sia) is their pride and joy, they have loved every bit of the past 25 years and the 130 staff they call family.
However, the itch was still there, and it had to be scratched…fast forward 6 months and the dream has come true; with an incredible amount of work by Max and Shane and their amazing, dedicated team SHAMAC Lodge is born.
Nestled in the tranquil setting of Rye on the Mornington Peninsula, Shamac Lodge, the new Cottage Respite home sits upon 1 acre of undulating Limestone sand dunes provides a peaceful, home-away-from-home experience for your loved ones.
At Shamac Lodge, we understand the importance of taking a well-deserved break while knowing that those you care for are receiving exceptional care. Our dedicated staff treat every client like family, starting their day with a hearty homemade breakfast before embarking on a day of fun and engaging activities, showcasing the beauty of what the Mornington Peninsula has to offer. With delicious, nutritious meals, relaxing afternoon tea, and a cozy evening routine, your loved ones are well cared for in a nurturing environment. Fully trained and qualified, our team is committed to supporting people of all ages and abilities.
People that stay can enjoy well-appointed rooms with all the creature comforts they would expect of a Hotel. Shane and Max said they want to ensure that a stay at SHAMAC Lodge is an experience, an experience people remember and why not do it on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.
Shane said “we live in such a beautiful area, the Mornington Peninsula has been our home for over 40 years, we wish everyone could have the opportunity to visit and even stay”.
SHAMAC Lodge is also open for family stays; Max said “we would love to have families that may be caring for their child living with a disability stay for a weekend, get away from the every day and experience the Mornington Peninsula, knowing they are going somewhere that is appropriate, with access ramps, aids and equipment to suit most situations, SHAMAC Lodge is the perfect solution for families looking at getting away”.
The team at SHAMAC Lodge by After-Care hope to see you soon for you next Cottage Respite stay.
Book your tour today and “let our family help your family.”

Sir Neville House Inspects theHastings Road
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
FOR a long time past the maintenance of the Hastings road – the principal route to Flinders – and the expense incurred thereby, has been agitating the minds of the local Council.
Upon several occasions, it was alleged at the monthly sitting that the heavy wagon loads of the Defence Department, en route to the Naval Base, did not tend to improve matters, and it was deemed the powers behind the scenes might feel disposed to make a grant towards the upkeep of the road in question.
When the Prime Minister (the Hon. S. M. Bruce) came to Frankston on Saturday, January 31 1925, for the purpose of performing the ceremony in connection with the laying of the foundation stone of the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall, the chairman of the committee (Cr. Oates) at a later stage, and while in conversation with our Federal member, alluded to the vexed subject of the aforesaid road, and Mr. Bruce promised to use his influence in the desired direction.
Sir Neville House, who is now Minister for Defence, passed through Frankston on Saturday morning last.
Precisely at 9.30 o’clock he called at Cr. Oates’ place, and asked him to accompany the party in a motor car on a tour of inspection of the main road to Flinders.
Interviewed in the evening by a representative of “The Standard”, Cr. Oates mentioned that the portion of the road over which the Department’s wagons travel had not been tarred, and Sir Neville House had seen for himself its condition, and was satisfied it was going to pieces.
Cr. Oates also pointed out that the Council had found it necessary to have its roads tarred, in order to “keep them together.”
The Minister for Defence said he would like to assist the Council, if possible, and promised to ascertain what could be done.
Further questioned by the journalist, Cr. Oates stated he had suggested to Sir Neville House, in the event of the Department not being able to comply with the previous request of the Council, and if a grant were being given, this year, to the states, would he see that the Shire of Frankston and Hastings was not forgotten?
In regard to this, the Minister courteously indicated he would give his support to the proposal. ***
THE many friends of Mr. W. Wilson Young, who recently underwent a successful operation for his eyes at the Alfred Hospital, will be pleased to know he is home again.
Mrs. Merrie, wife of Mr. F. A. Merrie, of the Frankston branch of the State Savings Bank underwent an operation for appendicitis at Sister Creswick’s private hospital on Sunday last, and is, we are pleased to state, progressing favourably.
Mrs. Lewis, wife of Mr. T. Lewis, Frankston, who has been in indifferent health for some time, has found it necessary to live in a drier climate.
Mr. Lewis, who is employed on the railways, has secured a farm at Elmore, in the Bendigo district, and this week Mrs. Lewis and one of her sons left for the new home.
Mrs. Lewis leaves many friends in Frankston who earnestly hope that the
change of climate will restore her to full health again.
Mrs. Lewis was an ardent worker for the Frankston High School, and her efforts in that connection will long be remembered by the Advisory Council.
Miss Breen, who has for some time past been the popular manageress at the Frankston Golf House, is leaving shortly for fresh fields and pastures new.
Mrs. Sherlock, wife of Rev. H. Sherlock, delivered an interesting address on mission work in Samoa, at the monthly meeting of the Methodist Women’s Mission in the Frankston Church on Thursday last.
Mrs. Shellock spent several years in mission work in Samoa, and with her husband only recently returned to Frankston where their relatives and friends reside.
Mr. and Mrs. Les Evans, of Frankston, intend making a motor trip to Sydney during the Easter holidays.
The Misses’ Purves returned to Frankston this week after 3 months holiday spent in various parts of the State.
Mr. A. Tasker, assistant stationmaster at Frankston, is on sick leave, suffering from an attack of Influenza.

Through the Prince’s Highway. Two thousand miles in a “Buick.”
Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Quartermain, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. A. Aitken, of Frankston, who had been away on a most enjoyable holiday trip to N.S.W., returned home on Sunday night last.
During a journey, extending over eighteen days, the party covered a distance of approximately 2000 miles
For the vast majority of people, retirement living is associated with their later years. With many of us now enjoying a better quality of life for much longer, it raises the question, why put off the decision to enrich your life and rightsize your home?
Maximise the time you’ve earned through your working life and make the move to a village while you’re still young and active enough to fully enjoy it.
Enjoy a simple, worry-free lifestyle that a low-maintenance village can provide you with.
Call Village Manager Rachael on 0418 728 945 today to book a village tour and start making the most of your retirement!
in the latest model “Buick,’ and with the exception of a punctured tyre, met with no further mishap en route.
Proceeding via the glorious Prince’s Highway, they were much impressed by the beautiful scenery, especially from Lakes. Entrance to Eden (N.S.W) on the south coast, while in the famous, Bulli Pass the continual mass of ferns, standing 20 to 30 feet high was a sight well worth beholding.
In due course, the party reached the Blue Mountains and the ever favourite resort of Katoomba.
They visited the Buchan (Vic.) and Jenolan (N.S.W.) caves, but the former appealed to the party’s estimation as being far ahead of the latter.
On the return trip from the alluring and enchanting environment of the Blue Mountains, one of the typical mists of that region fell upon the party about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and proved of such density that Mr. Quartermain had to switch on the headlights of the Buick.
Throughout the trip, which, from first to last, was a thoroughly enjoyable one, fine weather prevailed. ***
Drunken Revellers get the maximum fine at Chelsea
A riotous party mounted the train at Frankston on Saturday last.
The members of it had missed the char-a-bane at Mornington, where they were participants of a boot employees’ picnic.
Shortly before 9p.m., SeniorConstable R. Hore was given the information when outside the Chelsea station. With Constable Hooper, he easily located the carriage which was
singing with gusto the song, “It Ain’t Going to Rain No More.”
Constable Hore endeavoured to make himself heard to the singers, who were in a second-class smoker, but to no avail.
The louder he spoke the more they sang. So he arrested six men. Outside the station some seemed likely to bolt. Constable Hore produced a revolver, and the stick he always carries, sent Constable Hooper to the front, and threatened to “dong” the first man who tried to break away from the party. No-one broke!
At the Chelsea Court on Monday, Leonard Swift, Albert Donaldson, Henry Smith, William McCaddy, Jack Murcott and Alexander McDonald were each fined £5 for offensive behaviour.
In spite of a plea by Mr. Reg. Wadham (who appeared for the accused) that as they had been in the lock-up at Chelsea from Saturday night until Sunday midday, Mr. P. Cohen, P.M., who presided over a Bench consisting of Messrs. A. Hunter, G. R. A. Beardsworth, E. Williams, and N. Stephens, J.’sP., said that such conduct could not be excused.
They had given drink to young girls, according to the evidence of the police, and had made the carriage in a filthy state.
It seemed strange to him that Chelsea should always be the venue for offences committed outside of it. Chelsea had a bad name without dragging cases that could easily have been taken on to another place.

PUZZLE ZONE
Dominant win seals premiership for Pines
By Brodie Cowburn
PROVINCIAL
PINES has won the 2025 MPCA Provincial Grand Final.
Pines played Red Hill in the two-day season decider at Eric Bell Reserve. Pines batted on Saturday, and put a formidable total on the scoreboard.
At the end of the day, Pines finished up at 8/243. Pat Jackson scored a half-century for the home side, while Nick Christides and Billy Humphrey also made strong contributions.
Brent Martin was a workhorse for Red Hill on Saturday. He bowled 40 overs, taking 3/113. Red Hill were in huge trouble from the get-go on Sunday. Opener Luke Jackson was dismissed for a duck, and his batting partner Riley Shaw was bowled out for just two runs. Things got even worse when Charlie Hannemann came in at three and also fell for a duck.
Simon Dart dug in to score some runs, but he didn’t enjoy much support. Red Hill didn’t get close to their target, and ended up all out for 72 runs off 45 overs.
Pat Jackson rounded out a man-of-the-match performance with excellent bowling figures of 4/33. Billy Humphrey, Ricky Ramsdale, and Declan Jackson took two wickets each.
PENINSULA
MORNINGTON scored a huge upset last weekend to claim the premiership in the MPCA Peninsula division.
The Bulldogs hit the road to take on Rosebud at Olympic Park in the Grand Final. Rosebud has been the team to beat all season, losing just one game.
Rosebud struggled on day one on Saturday, losing opener James Egan for three and first drop batter Jarrod Hicks for three. Will Jewell and Liam Collett made decent starts, but former international spinner Bryce McGain sent them packing before they did too much damage.
Rosebud skipper Patrick Nagel dug in to score 38 from 130 deliveries. His side finished the day at 9/129, handing the Bulldogs a chance for a shock win.
McGain was awesome for Mornington on Saturday. He took 4/49 from 31 overs.
Mornington’s run chase got off to a horror start
when opener Shane Hockey was dismissed for a golden duck. His batting partner Charlie Parker didn’t fare much better - he scored just eight runs.
Josh Small came in at number three and provided some stability. He only scored six runs, but dug in for 78 balls while Mitchell Goddard and Ryan Smith kept the scoreboard ticking over. Goddard was bowled out for 66. Smith finished the day unbeaten on 43.
Mornington wrapped up a six-wicket win, and the premiership, with 15 overs left to spare.
DISTRICT
BALNARRING are premiers in the MPCA District division.
Balnarring, who finished the year second with a 9-3 record, played Boneo in the season decider. Boneo entered the finals series a fair way back from their fellow qualifiers.
After losing the toss on day one on Saturday, Balnarring was sent in to bat first. They proved up to the task, putting 285 runs on the scoreboard before stumps was called.
Xavier Warmbrunn and Darcy Warmbrunn topscored for Balnarring with scores of 86 and 63 respectively.
Dilasri Lokubandara starred for Boneo on Sunday. He smashed 115 runs from 137 deliveries, but it wasn’t quite enough to wrap up a win for his side.
Boneo was bowled out for 191, well short of what they needed to win. Balnarring wrapped up the Grand Final win with 19 overs left to spare.
Luke Hewitt was pick of the bowlers for Balnarring. He took 4/68 from 19 overs.
SUB DISTRICT
RYE dominated Tyabb in the Sub-District Grand Final last weekend.
Tyabb hosted the two-day match at Bunguyan Reserve. The visitors batted first, and faced a few struggles at the crease. After 56 overs, Rye was dismissed for 139.
Tyabb’s run chase ended in disaster. A middle order collapse - Justin Bridgeman, Jayden Regan, and Aidan Pateman were each dismissed for zero - cost the Yabbies the game.
Tyabb was bowled out for just 62, handing Rye the premiership.
Jacob Long and Waligama Palleguruge each took four wickets for Rye.

MEET 90-year-old Brenda Thornell who has earned her place in the history books of Devilbend Golf Club after scoring a hole-in-one, proving age is no barrier.
The Somerville great-grandmother achieved the remarkable feat on 25 March after stepping up to the tee under sunny skies on the third hole – a par three of about 135 metres.
It also marks her third ace at Devilbend Golf Club and her fifth overall – a rare achievement not even the most seasoned professionals can attain.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Brenda told The News, which she put down to “just pure luck!”
“It just got on the left-hand side of the green and headed across to the top right and dropped in the hole.”
Brenda, who plays off a handicap of 36, said she hit a three wood and “bingo”, the ball “disappeared”, stunning her fellow players.
“It’s very exciting!” she exclaimed.
It’s been a huge celebration for Brenda with her newfound fame having attracted wide media attention and recognition from Golf Australia.
A member of the club for 35 years, Brenda plays every Tuesday on Women’s Day, saying her passion for golf hasn’t waned a bit with age.
Asked what tips she had for anyone trying to achieve a hole-in-one, she had some simple words of advice: “I just try and aim for the green”.
As for how the rest of her round went on her memorable day, Brenda laughed that she “lost the plot” a little, but it won’t stop her coming back and … just maybe trying her luck for the sixth time.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard
Skye starts season in style
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
SKYE United made its best start to a league season since 2017 with a gutsy 2-1 away win against Noble Park United on Friday night.
The locals have won their opening two games away from home and don’t play their first home match until their round 4 clash with Casey Comets.
Skye went behind in the 18th minute when Shane Tagliaferro’s strike from the edge of the box found the bottom corner.
However the visitors hit back 10 minutes later when Mitch Blake broke free and squared a ball for Tapiwa Kufakurowa to stab home.
The second half was an arm wrestle but Blake’s flick header in the 65th minute allowed Shameit Sharma to calmly lob goalkeeper Denis Lazinica to claim all three points for Skye.
Head coach Phil McGuinness put a lot of work during pre-season into rebuilding Skye’ senior squad having lost so many experienced players and so far his efforts have been rewarded.
“Our aim was to try and recruit a squad that would hopefully stay together for a few years so I decided to give opportunities to more young up-and-coming talent,” McGuinness said.
“Against Noble Park the oldest player on the bench was 23 along with eight starting players also under the age of 23.
“Our squad isn’t complete yet though and I’m still hopeful of adding one or two more experienced boys even at this late stage.”
Skye’s neighbour and State 2 rival Peninsula Strikers endured a luckless weekend going down 1-0 away to Mooroolbark despite hitting the woodwork six times.
The decisive moment came in the 80th minute when a cross to the back post saw Mooroolbark’s Marcus Watson get a shot on target which Strikers’ keeper Ben Caballero saved sharply but the rebound fell straight into the path of home team captain Sean Perrin who tucked it away.
Strikers were relentless at times piling on the pressure and creating numerous chances all to no avail.
Strikers’ attack will be bolstered this week with the return from suspension of Wayne Gordon and the return from injury of Noah Musso.
The local club also has signed Joel Bowen from Rowville Eagles.
Bowen has had spells at Springvale White Eagles and Mazenod and has also played in England and Brazil.
He can play anywhere across the front third.
In VPL1 Langwarrin won its second straight away game with a 1-0 victory over Moreland City on Friday night.
Langy started brightly with Tom Youngs and Brad Blumenthal creating havoc.
The visitors had a number of chances but Moreland was a threat on the counter with pace in wide areas.
The breakthrough came in the 79th minute when Luke Adams headed back across goal with the ball hitting a defender and going in.
Langwarrin ends a lengthy run of consecutive
away fixtures when it takes on second-placed Melbourne City on Sunday at Casey Fields.
In State 1 Mornington made it two from two with a 2-0 away win over South Springvale on Saturday.
Ryan Paczkowski opened the scoring in the first half when he pushed forward into midfield then exchanged passes with Tom Wood and slotted the ball past South Springvale keeper Josh

Hill.
The home side applied the pressure in the second half but Mornington earned some breathing space with an early contender for goal of the season.
In the 89th minute a move involving Paczkowski, Rhys Craigie and Dylan Thomas ended with a first-time volley from Shaun Kenny that gave Hill no chance.
In State 4 Chelsea was the only local side to come up trumps last weekend winning 4-2 away to Lyndale United.
In the 31st minute a Marcelo Burgos cross missed everyone including the Lyndale keeper to give Chelsea the lead.
But the home side produced a shock equaliser just before half-time with a fine long-range strike from Michael Moretti leaving Chelsea keeper Luke Wilson scratching his head.
Chelsea hit back in the 53rd minute through half-time sub Jake Ross beating his man in the box and slotting home.
After a few near misses James Stinson then kicked into gear finishing neatly from a Liam Burford through ball in the 64th minute and a bullet header from a Christian Murray cross in the 79th minute.
Lyndale scored a late consolation goal through Raf Omokaru.
On Saturday a well-organised and determined Monash University comfortably beat visitors Somerville Eagles 3-0.
The Eagles never quite found their rhythm and were second-best for most of the contest.
Despite moments of promise including two disallowed goals and Marcus Anastasiou failing
to convert a penalty Somerville was unable to mount a meaningful comeback.
Baxter drew 2-2 with Sandown Lions on Saturday evening with Zamer Noor and Jack Bradbury scoring for the locals.
On Friday night Frankston Pines lost 6-0 to visitors Springvale City and Rosebud lost 2-0 at home to Noble Hurricanes on Saturday evening.
In State 5 Aspendale and Mount Eliza shared the spoils in a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground last weekend.
Aspendale struck first with only a few minutes left before half-time when a well-worked freekick from James Macnab allowed Felix Hampson to catch the Mount Eliza defence off-guard to steer the ball home at the near post.
The home team went further ahead in the 54th minute when a well-taken corner was headed home by Lewis Marco.
Minutes later Mount Eliza hit back when Austin Mcewen capitalised on a goalkeeping error to score from close range.
The visitors completed their comeback in the 85th minute when Josh Luca levelled from a goalmouth scramble.
Ten-man Seaford United had to settle for an away point in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Endeavour Hills Fire.
Despite dominating the first half Seaford was unable to break the deadlock and although the visitors looked likely to break through the contest turned on an 81st-minute decision.
Seaford thought that it had won a penalty when Backy Barakzoi was brought down in the box but instead Barakzoi was booked for diving.
It was his second yellow card which cut his day short and instantly put Seaford on the back foot.
The visitors were forced to endure Panthers’ constant long balls and were eventually broken down when a diagonal ball wasn’t cleared and Panthers’ striker Mahdi Haidari lobbed Hayden Hicks from a one-on-one.
But within a minute of the restart a long ball was fumbled by Panthers’ keeper Quinn Carter and Keegan Bell’s tidy finish made it 1-1. And Seaford nearly found a second with Luke Murray through in a one-on-one but he failed to convert his chance.
Mount Martha drew 1-1 away to Endeavour Hills Fire in a very physical clash last weekend. The home team took a 1-0 lead into the halftime break following a fine interpassing move and tidy finish from Driss Sakha.
Six minutes into the second half Finn Vemis was shown a second yellow card but both sides were reduced to 10 men almost immediately after a Joanathan Florent tackle earned him a straight red.
The equaliser came in the 60th minute following a superb run by Lenny Tate whose shot was blocked on the line but Howie Andersen was on the spot to chest it in.
In other news the only two local sides remaining in the Australia Cup have been drawn against each other.
Langwarrin will host Mornington at Lawton Park on Wednesday 16 April at 7.30pm.
