How to retire happily: Insights for Australians

Retirement marks a significant life transition, and for many Australians, it can be a time of renewed happiness and personal growth. Contrary to outdated notions of retirement as a period of decline, recent research suggests that Australians often experience a “happiness wave” as they enter their golden years. To retire happily, it’s essential to stay active, maintain strong social connections, and cultivate a sense of purpose.

A landmark study conducted by Dr Tony Beatton of Queensland University of Technology and Professor Paul Frijters of The University of Queensland found that Australians are happiest between the ages of 55 and 75 1. This period often coincides with retirement, suggesting that stepping away from fulltime work can lead to increased wellbeing. The researchers attribute this surge in happiness to reduced stress, more realistic life expectations, and the freedom to enjoy good health and financial stability.

One of the key ingredients to a happy retirement is staying physically and mentally active. Regular exercise not only improves physical health but also boosts mood and cognitive function. Activities like walking, swimming, dance, yoga, or even gardening can help retirees maintain vitality. Mental stimulation through reading, puzzles, or learning new skills also contributes to a sense of accomplishment and keeps the mind sharp. Many

retirees also take up part-time work or volunteering, which can offer both stimulation and social engagement.

Equally important is staying socially connected. Loneliness and isolation can significantly impact mental health, especially in older adults. Maintaining relationships with family and friends, joining community groups, and helping others can foster a sense of belonging. Technology also offers new ways to stay in touch; video calls, social

media, and online communities can bridge physical distances and keep retirees engaged. Local clubs, libraries, and councils often offer programs tailored to seniors, encouraging participation and connection. Another crucial factor is discovering or reaffirming a sense of purpose. Retirement offers the opportunity to explore passions that may have been sidelined during working years. Whether it’s mentoring, pursuing creative hobbies, or contributing

to causes, having a purpose gives life meaning and direction. Purpose-driven retirees often report higher levels of satisfaction and resilience. Some find fulfillment in travel, others in caregiving, and many in lifelong learning through adult education programs.

Supporting these findings, the Wellbeing Index, conducted by Deakin University, revealed that retirees reported significantly higher wellbeing scores than non-retirees, averaging over 80 points compared to 76 2. This suggests that retirement, when approached thoughtfully, can be a time of flourishing rather than decline.

In summary, retiring happily in Australia involves more than financial planning; it’s about nurturing health, relationships, and personal meaning. By staying active, socially engaged, and purpose-driven, retirees can embrace this life stage with optimism and joy. Research continues to highlight the positive aspects of retirement, Australians can look forward to their later years not just with comfort, but with positivity.

Car thefts on the rise

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

CAR thieves using electronic key reprogramming devices to steal vehicles are being targeted by police. Three people have been convicted recently for using the devices. A 34-year-old man recieved a two-year sentence after stealing a Nissan Patrol from a dealership on Dandenong Road in Frankston, which was later

found in Seaford with an electronic key reprogramming tool inside.

A 27-year-old man was sentenced to eight months in prison after stealing a 2016 Holden Clubsport wagon parked on Cliff Road in Frankston. He used a key mimicking tool to break into the car. A 34-year-old man from Cranbourne North was also seen by Frankston police in March in a stolen Toyota Fortune, which was taken from Lyndhurst using a reprogramming device, police say. Frankston crime investigation unit

detective senior sergeant Greer Goldsmith said more people have been arrested and are before the courts for using the devices. “Keys aren’t needed with this technology, which means owners can do all the right things –lock their car and keep the keys somewhere safe inside a locked home – and their cars can still be stolen,” Goldsmith said.

“We are asking owners to firstly lock their vehicles and where possible, park off the street to help lower

the chances of having their car stolen. They can also purchase port devices that decrease the effectiveness of key mimicking tools and slow down the offender substantially. A small expense now could save you tens of thousands of dollars by not having to replace your vehicle if it’s stolen.

“While this technology is proving challenging for local police, we can assure residents and visitors that we are apprehending offenders and holding them to account, which is evident

in the lengthy community service, or even stints behind bars, handed to car thieves.”

Victoria Police statistics have revealed that vehicle theft is at its highest level in Victoria since 2002.

Corollas made between 2015 and 2024 were the most commonly stolen in June this year, followed by Hilux utes manufactured between 2016 and 2023, and Landcruisers. Rav4s, Toyota 86s, and Prados are also frequently stolen.

Work on Tech School wrapping up

THE new Frankston Tech School is on track to open in September.

The school at the Chisholm Institute Frankston campus will cater for up to 60 secondary school students at a time, offering science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics programs.

Chisholm associate director foundation and school pathways Ben Jenkinson said the Tech School “will help prepare secondary students for

the jobs of the future”.

“At a Tech School, students can learn STEAM skills to take on reallife challenges and design solutions that work towards a smart, sustainable and ethical future, in growing areas like sustainability, entrepreneurship, renewable energy, robotics and automation,” he said. “These modern, hands-on STEAM learning opportunities will be offered alongside a school’s curriculum, to comple-

ment and extend students’ connection to the future and high-priority industries forecast for employment growth.”

The state government is planning to open six new tech schools statewide. Education minister Ben Carroll said “students in Frankston will have the chance to explore future career pathways like never before, in industries that have never been more important.”

Community grants awarded

A CHARITY which supports struggling families has received a $10,000 grant to continue its work.

Mums Supporting Families in Need was awarded $10,000 through the Frankston Charitable Fund’s 2025 Community Connection Grants to provide essential material aid to families fleeing domestic violence. The other recipients were BAM ARTS INC ($9000), Pets in the Park Inc ($9000), First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing ($5000), McClelland Sculpture Park & Gallery ($5000), and Scouts Victoria ($5000)

Frankston Charitable Trust committee chair Abby Foster said “I’m proud to see this year’s grants go to organisations making a real difference in our community.”

“These grants reflect our shared belief that when we invest in local people

and projects, we strengthen the heart of Frankston,” she said.

The Frankston Charitable Fund is a charitable fund account of the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation. It is overseen by a committee of management - Frankston mayor Kris Bolam, councillor Cherie Wanat, and three community members serve on its committee. Wanat said “these grants are more than just funding – they’re about investing in hope, resilience, and connection, and we’re pleased to continue supporting those who stand beside our most vulnerable in the community.”

Wanat recently presented a $30,000 cheque to the committee on behalf of council as part of the $1.7 million cost-of-living support package in its 2025/2026 budget.

Annual reading challenge starts soon

THE annual mayor’s reading challenge will return in August, with a series of free events scheduled across Frankston’s libraries.

Preschoolers who read 60 books, and students between Prep and Year 2 who read 30 books or comics throughout August will be eligible to win prizes. Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said “we’re thrilled to bring the Mayor’s Reading Challenge back for another year, encouraging kids to share in the joy of reading and explore their imagination.”

“As someone training in education, I know firsthand the importance of early literacy and how vital it is to make reading both fun and accessible,” he said. “It is crucial that we capitalise on trends such as the popularity of superhero films in conjunction with literacy tools like comic books. Children generally excel in areas they are passionate about, so fusing superheroes and comic books together is a logical approach.”

Frankston libraries will host weekly superhero-themed storytimes across August. The reading challenge will begin with a Superhero Launch Party on 1 August at Frankston Library, and conclude with an End of Challenge celebration on 28 August at Frankston Library.

To register or find a full schedule of events visit library.frankston.vic. gov.au.

Students shape short films

SHORT films created by Nepean School students are on display at the Arts Centre Melbourne’s Smorgon Family Plaza.

Students from the specialist school have been working alongside professional sound designers, puppeteers, and filmmakers to bring their concepts to life. They have worked with puppeteers Sarah Kriegler and Tim Sneddon from Lemony S Puppet Theatre, and filmmaker Zia Gul Sadeqi.

The students, aged between five and 18, will have their short films displayed as part of Arts Centre Melbourne’s Stories in the Wall exhibition. Stories in the Wall program manager Delsa Evotia Tuitea said “it is a rare and special opportunity to have your storytelling publicly displayed amongst the stages and collections at Australia’s largest performing arts centre.

Through their dedication in the workshops, the students from Nepean School have more than demonstrated they deserve this moment in the spotlight.”

Nepean School music therapist Samantha Allen-Craig said “It was just gorgeous to see the students participating in their own authentic ways.” Puppeteer Sarah Kriegler said working with the students was “an immense joy.”

“Shadows are such an accessible art form and even the smallest thing, like adding some cellophane to your wheelchair, can look astoundingly beautiful. Tim, Zia and I had such a good time on this project, and we’re thrilled the kids did too,” Kriegler said.

The films will be on show until 31 August. To view them online visit artscentremelbourne. com.au.

Each month the Frankston Times will run a Community Events page, where your school or organisation can promote upcoming events, fund raisers, social events, etc. at no charge. This page is sponsored by Frankston Arts Centre, and listings are completely free.

Lisiting should be about 40 words and include event name, date, time & address.

Rubbish surge hits beaches

RESIDENTS are voicing concern over increasing amounts of litter washing up on Mornington beaches, believed to be drifting in from other parts of Port Phillip Bay during high tides.

Much of the debris has reportedly washed up at Fishermans Beach, Mothers Beach, and Mills Beach in recent weeks, which is understood to be a reoccurring issue in winter months when there is a combination of stormwater runoff and high tides that push rubbish across the bay.

Residents Chris and Lorraine, who asked not to share their surname, described the sight as “heartbreaking” after finding piles of litter at the Fishermans Beach boat ramp, as well as on the shoreline and entangled in seaweed last week.

Among the rubbish was plastic bags, freezer lock bags, lolly wrappers, disposable green bags, plastic cups and more.

“If there was anything imaginable in plastic it was there. We saw seagulls and they were virtually picking up and throwing plastics around,” they said.

“We are locals of eight years now and have never seen this level of pollution change in one tidal change. People don’t seem to care what they’re doing at the disposal of their rubbish which is disappointing.”

Another resident and hand beach cleaner

volunteer Melanie Bird said she and others found the same sort of litter at Mothers Beach next to the Mornington Yacht Club last week, which converged at the boat-launching ramp.

“Another interesting item was a parking ticket from March 2025 issued in Moonee Valley - a common indicator of the way litter moves around the bay in a circular motion if it is not effectively removed in the first instance,” she said.

Mornington Peninsula Shire deputy mayor and Tanti Ward councillor Paul Pingiaro said he was aware of the increased litter on beaches, which was a result of high tides and circular currents in winter that redistributes rubbish from other parts of the bay.

“With that comes a lot of industrial waste, whether it be those tiny little pieces of plastics; you’ve got syringes, you’ve got styrofoam, you’ve got all sorts of things and quite often parking tickets from City of Melbourne, City of Yarra - they all wash up. They all become unfortunately our problem and a bulk problem,” he told The Times

He said syringes had also washed up at Mills Beach recently with the shire sending crews to use metal detectors to ensure they were all collected safely and disposed of.

ABC TV, 8.30pm

Y’all think you know everything there is to know about the southern United States? Think again, says Welsh comedian Griff Rhys Jones (pictured far left), who is taking viewers on a six-state tour of the Deep South in which he aims to go beyond the clichés of rednecks, Delta blues and the Bible belt to discover the beating heart of Americana. In tonight’s second episode, he begins in Atlanta, the modern, bustling capital of Georgia.

THE GOOD SHIP MURDER

SBS, 7.30pm

It’s quite an odd time of year to be rolling out a Christmas special – but Christmas in July is a thing now, so why not? The Good Ship Murder is docking in Dubrovnik, and Jack (Shayne Ward, pictured right) and Kate (Catherine Tyldesley) are on the hunt for a replacement Santa after the ship’s usual one falls ill. But when their pick, local comedian Buddy (Cliff Parisi), turns up dead (what else did you expect?) it’s looking like Christmas might have to be cancelled.

The Block may be embarking on its 21st season, with Scott Cam and Shelley Craft (both pictured) once again at the helm, but they are still finding plenty of ways to keep things fresh. This season the action will take place in the Victorian spa town of Daylesford, and the first twist on the format is a huge one – instead of renovating existing properties, the teams will be working on new builds designed by resident architect Julian Brenchley.

“Janice is fantastic We dealt with Janice as buyers She assisted us during the whole process in all our queries She understand how emotionally taxing it is purchasing a new home, and never leaves out the human side of the equation Even when things went south (not of her doing) she liaised with both parties to get a fair outcome We are very grateful and lucky to have her during the process of finding our forever home ”

“Janice and her team had intimate knowledge of this property and could convey to us some of its history, which definitely helped us make a connection I think, more importantly though, Janice’s and Stella's demeanour was so refreshing Both came across as very natural and not pushy whatsoever Afforded us the time and space to look around, but were also very friendly and happy to answer all of our questions Had a personal touch which is missing with a lot of other agents Highly recommended!”

Pipe bursts

A BURST pipe left Langwarrin residents without water last week.

On 16 July, a pipe burst on Leonard Drive in Langwarrin. Residents in Langwarrin and Skye reported that they had no water throughout the day. A little after 1.20pm, South East Water stated that water had been turned back on.

South East Water said if residents have dirty water, they should “turn off all the taps at your property, run your front garden tap for about five minutes”, and “once your front garden tap is clear, then flush your taps by running the taps inside your home for a few minutes to draw in fresh water, including the taps in your bathroom, shower, laundry and kitchen.”

Three generations of glass celebrated

A RED Hill glass studio is celebrating the launch of its book at an exhibition, showcasing the family’s rich legacy and its place in global artistry and broader art world.

The book Blowing In A New Era: Three Generations, One Family by Gordon Studio Glassblowers and Gallery is on show at the McClelland Sculpture Gallery and Sculpture Park in Langwarrin, which is also exhibiting more than 130 pieces of GordonDonaldson glass art.

The event, which runs until 27 July, celebrates intergenerational artists on the Mornington Peninsula, as well as the launch of the book.

As part of the exhibition, visitors can also view artwork from a recent residency at Poatina Arts in Tasmania, inspired by the family’s 84-year love affair with glass.

Gordon Studio Glassblowers, which was founded in 1992, is owned by Eileen Gordon and Grant Donaldson. Today, the business comprises six members across three generations including engravers and glassblowers.

Eileen said the book marked a moment in time recording the incredible glass journey of their family.

“Mum and Dad (Alasdair and Rish) moved from England, Kenya and Scotland to Norway and Australia, following opportunities in art – with my brother Kevin and I exploring our own artistic avenues in glass,” she said.

“Our boys, their grandsons, Hamish and Calum have that love for glass in their veins as they forge their own styles and careers in the medium. I am extremely proud of the story and the way this book tells it.”

The 214-page book maps a 10-yearold Alasdair Gordon, standing in a

classroom at Edinburgh College of Art in 1941 to meeting his life partner Rish Roddan while specialising in glass engraving in 1954.

Hamish and Calum Donaldson, who won art prizes this year, are also featured, detailing their incredible skill and modern craft against the backdrop of an ancient art.

There’s also history of the medium’s journey from 5000 years ago to today, featuring each of the seven artists “in conversation” and photographs of some of their finest – and awardwinning – works. The book was officially launched on 5 July at the Elisabeth Murdoch Gallery, with more than 200 people in

attendance.

McClelland artistic and executive director Lisa Byrne said they were proud to showcase a talented local family “who’ve been honing their craft just 30 kilometres from McClelland for 23 years”.

“This exhibition highlights the connection between the McClelland and

Gordon families, celebrating intergenerational artists on the Mornington Peninsula and the launch of their beautiful new book,” she said. The book is available online at www.gordonstudio.com.au or at the Gordon Studio Glassblowers Red Hill Gallery and Studio, and in the McClelland Design Store.

Reforestation of Crown Lands starts in Frankston

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

A UNIQUE event took place on Tuesday last at Frankston, when the Mayor of Prahran, Cr. J. C. Pickford, brought along about 300 boys from the State and Technical schools of Prahran, for the purpose of planting several acres of land with pine trees in view of the urgent necessity of providing against the tremendous shortage of timber which will take place in this country in the course of a few years.

The Mayor has conceived the idea of interesting the school children of Prahran in this matter, and after negotiating with the officers of the Education and Forestry Departments and consulting with the headmasters of the various schools in Prahran, he has succeeded in creating a very live interest in this question.

The Government has placed at his disposal an area of ten acres of Crown lands on Hastings road, near Frankston Golf Links, as a commencement, and dedicated it to the schools of Prahran for this purpose.

The Prahran City Council is behind the Mayor in this matter, and is assisting in the necessary fencing and clearing of the land, which has been ploughed and harrowed by the Forestry Department.

The first planting of the pine trees took place on Tuesday last, when about 2000 trees were placed in their proper position on the land. The headmasters and some of the teachers and members of the various schools’ committees, together with the members of the Council were present and gave short addresses to the young foresters

on their work.

The Mayor of Prahran (Cr. J. C. Pickford) addressed the boys before they began the big job, and said the forests were being depleted, and, furthermore, the importation of timber into this country was tremendous.

The growing of timber in this country would mean a good deal of employment, and would eventually mean that the markets would be well supplied.

There was a large number of representative men present, including (Crs. G. May (Shire president), C. Gray and W. J. Oates, also Mr. J. A. P. Ham (Shire secretary) and Mr. Muntz (Shire engineer).

Mr. Hartland represented the Forestry Department.

Cr. May welcomed the visitors to Frankston, and said that the idea was a very good one.

The boys, no doubt, would in future years realise the great amount of good they were doing to the country in having helped to look after the interests of the forests.

The Mayoress, Mrs. Pickford, planted the first tree and the Mayor the second. Other trees were planted by the Town Clerk of Prahran (Mr. John Romanis) and Mr. Greenwood (of Prahran), also Cr. G. May.

The visitors were entertained at luncheon by the Mayor of Prahran (Mr. Pickford) who also provided the boys with afternoon refreshments.

Mr. Hopkins, of Frankston, carried out the catering arrangements, which were greatly appreciated.

A special train brought the boys to Frankston.

Permanent trustees will be ap-

pointed in accordance with the regulations of the department, and it is proposed the future to take down parties of senior boys from time to time who will help to tend the young plants, clear away any wild growth, and plant additional trees as the land becomes available.

A pine tree at maturity becomes of very great value, and when 1000 trees can be grown to the acre, it can be readily ascertained what the value of the scheme will become in the course of years with very little cost, as pine trees require no attention after the third year.

This is the first attempt to interest school children in this important subject, and it is believed that most beneficial results will be obtained, not only from a monetary point of view, but also creating in the minds of our growing boys a forest conscience which will be of inestimable value to the community in the years to come. ***

The quarry – electric power installed Electric installation has been carried out at the Moorooduc quarry, and consists of one 60hp and one 30 hp motor, making a total of 90hp to drive the whole of the plant.

Another addition to the plant is a Kelly and Lewis 9 x 8 compressor. This is to be used for the driving of the drills.

The whole of the work was carried out by the Frankston and Hastings Shire electrical staff, the manager of which is Mr. D. J. Quartermain.

The current was switched on on Monday last, and proved to be very satisfactory.

The benefit to be derived from the

installation of electricity at the quarry is that the metal will be turned out more expeditiously, and, it is claimed, effect a big saving financially to the ratepayers

Redlegs wrap up vital contest, Bulls notch first win for season

MPFNL

By Brodie Cowburn

MEN’S DIV ONE

MT Eliza kept their season alive last weekend with a win over fellow finals contender Dromana.

Both sides have suffered from mixed results in season 2025. Mt Eliza hosted the match with Dromana at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

Poor goalkicking cost Dromana badly. The Tigers failed to kick a goal in the second and third quarters, allowing Mt Eliza to build an unassailable lead.

Dromana played some better footy in the final term, but the damage was done. Mt Eliza secured a comfortable 14.12 (96) to 5.11 (41) win.

Robbie Elliott booted four goals for the Redlegs, and Lachlan Williams kicked three.

The result saw Mt Eliza move into fifth place, and left Dromana seventh. They are two of four sides equal on 24 points - Sorrento and Pines also have 24 points each after the Sharks beat the Pythons on Saturday.

Sorrento beat Pines 10.12 (72) to 6.10 (46). Charlie Stokes, Nicholas Jamieson, Matthew Peric, Shannon Gladman, and Chad Harris were named the Sharks’ best.

Rosebud remains atop the ladder after a 26 point win over Red Hill. Second-placed Frankston YCW were six-goal winners over Mornington at Alexandra Park on Saturday.

Edithvale-Aspendale closed out the round with a 31 point win over Langwarrin.

MEN’S DIV TWO

KARINGAL scored their first win of 2025 against Hastings on Saturday. The Bulls have endured a miserable season so far, but had a good chance to win at home against Hastings. A five-goals-to-zero opening term put Karingal in the box seat.

Hastings cut the lead back to seven points in the second term, but a dominant third quarter put the result beyond doubt. Karingal ran away to an

11.5 (71) to 6.13 (49) win.

Zachery Holton was best-on-ground, kicking four goals. Jack Smith, Noah Bailey, Callan Dixon, and Jake Pusch were also named among the best.

At the other end of the ladder, Frankston Bombers extended their 2025 record to 14-0 with a dominant win over Pearcedale.

Pearcedale stunned the ladder leaders early, and took a narrow three point lead into the first break. The Bombers locked in after quarter-time, and ran away with the game.

Frankston Bombers beat Pearcedale 4.9 (33) to 16.12 (108).

Jason Kingsbury, Flynn Wood, Harrison Prior, Matt Chen, and Jai Block were named the Bombers’ best. Black kicked five goals.

Somerville beat Bonbeach by 14 points at home on Saturday in a mustwin clash. Fellow finals contender Devon Meadows beat Rye by five goals at Glover Reserve.

Crib Point dominated Tyabb by 76 points last weekend, and Chelsea beat Seaford by 41.

WOMEN’S DIV ONE

KARINGAL got the better of Frankston last weekend after a dominant second half.

The Bulls and Dolphins looked evenly matched throughout the first half. Karingal took control after halftime, going on to claim a 6.6 (42) to 3.2 (20) win.

Mia Rudzki, Taliah Black, Jemma Reynolds, Taya Mead, and Taylah Dilworth were named Karingal’s best. Danika Corcoran contributed two goals to the scoreboard.

Five goals from Nikia Webber helped Warragul Industrials beat Bonbeach on Saturday.

Warragul are a premiership contender, and showed their quality on Saturday afternoon. They beat Bonbeach 1.1 (7) to 8.10 (58) at Bonbeach Reserve.

Mornington smashed Pearcedale 1.1 (7) to 16.19 (115) at Pearcedale Recreation Reserve last weekend.

Georgia Templeton kicked six goals in a best-on-ground display.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Sam takes Strikers up to second

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

PENINSULA Strikers are on course for State 1 status if Scott Morrison’s second-placed side can maintain the momentum gathered in recent weeks.

Strikers made it five on the trot with a clinical 3-1 away win over Bentleigh United Cobras last weekend.

The win was helped by a first-half red card for Cobras captain Daniel Moirana who received two cautions in four minutes.

His first came in the 30th minute after he left the pitch for treatment but reentered without permission.

His second came as Strikers’ keeper Faraz Zenoozi had the ball in both hands preparing to launch it downfield until Moirana ran straight in front of him to try and block the kick.

Another four minutes elapsed before Sam Maggs broke the deadlock with a cross-come-shot ending up in the back of the net courtesy of a strong wind.

It was 2-0 in the 67th minute after Wayne Gordon intercepted a pass in midfield and quickly played it to Riley Anderton whose superb through ball released Maggs for a cool finish past Cobras keeper Erik Linsdell.

The contest was just about put to bed when Matt Harrington scored a brilliant individual goal after picking the ball up and running at the Cobras defence before deftly bending his shot into the bottom corner.

Cobras’ consolation came from the penalty spot after Gordon was adjudged to have brought down Colby Parton in the box and Parton converted.

Strikers missed a golden chance to make it four after a Josh Botha cross was put wide by Cooper Andrews late in the contest.

In another promotion clash in State 2 Skye United lost 2-0 away to league leader St Kilda on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors came in slightly undermanned and to make matters worse fell behind after only three minutes after a flick on header from Gary McCrossan.

Skye struggled to trouble the hosts and the game was put to bed in the 57th minute when Jack Lynch finished into an empty net.

In VPL1 news Langwarrin was no match for championship-chasing Melbourne City losing 3-0 at home on Friday night.

Home team fans aren’t used to seeing their side corralled inside their defensive half for long periods of the contest but that’s what they faced here.

The first half produced the game’s goals but it also emphasised the class gulf between these teams.

In the 15th minute a brilliant free-kick from Beckham Baker opened the scor-

ing and when he was tripped inside the area five minutes later by Langy keeper James Burgess he had no problem converting from the spot.

A minute into first-half injury time a superb tackle on Langy livewire Tom Youngs sparked a quick City counter which ended with a Kavian Rahmani header giving Burgess no chance.

There was no more damage done to the home team in the second half which is probably as much as it could expect.

In State 1 news Mornington got back to winning ways with a 3-2 home win over Collingwood City on Saturday.

The state of the Dallas Brooks pitch forced the game to be played at Knox Regional Football Centre.

Mornington was on the back foot within a minute when Dean Markovski scored but six minutes later scores were level.

Kieran Dover’s cross to James Kelly was teed up for Dylan Thomas who levelled.

Kelly made it 2-1 in the 41st minute and four minutes later a Ziggy Razuki free-kick was headed in by Dover for what was to be the winner.

Collingwood reduced the deficit thanks to Robert Mackay in the 57th minute but had little else to offer in dreadful playing conditions.

In State 4 news Chelsea relinquished top spot when it was forced to share the spoils in Saturday’s 2-2 away draw with FC Noble Hurricanes.

Gus Macleod’s men were in control at 2-0 in the second half thanks to goals from Daniel Vella and James Stinson.

When Stinson broke through and

neatly lobbed the Hurricanes keeper that should have sealed a win but the referee ruled that Stinson was offside, a decision that drew the ire of the Chelsea players, coaching staff and most onlookers.

“The referee gave offside for some reason even though he was 30 metres away,” Macleod said.

“The linesman was far better positioned and kept his flag down and when I asked the referee at the end of the match why he gave offside he said it was possible he’d made a mistake.”

FC Hurricanes scored twice in the last minute of play to end a dismal day for the visitors.

Baxter’s surge up the league ladder continued when a late Jai Power goal was enough to take down Springvale City at Baxter Park on Saturday.

The pivotal moment in this contest came in the 88th minute.

Keegan Myatt got the ball on the edge of the 18-yard box and played it inside to Kyle Eichenberger who squared it to Power for a tap-in.

Rosebud lost 2-1 away to Monash University in controversial circumstances.

A retaken penalty in the 87th minute decided this tussle after Rosebud had been the better side and had dominated possession and created more chances.

Monash took the lead against the run of play in the 66th minute when Jack Wyer failed to deal with a dangerous cross and steered it into his own net.

Rosebud responded well with Sean Smith scoring from an Ethan Hunt lay off in the 77th minute.

The spot-kick 10 minutes later was brilliantly saved by Colin McCormack only for the assistant referee to intervene and claim that McCormack had infringed.

Monash’s Archie Fraser scored from the retake.

“To lose a match on a decision like that is incredibly disappointing,” Rosebud head coach Stuart Johnson said.

“We've seen the footage and unfortunately the assistant referee has got it wrong.

“It’s a great save from Colin and it should have been points shared.”

Somerville Eagles won 3-0 away against Mentone with all the damage done in the first half.

Goals from Alessio Izzo, Josh Simmons and Marcus Anastasiou gave Somerville its first win since early May and rebooted its chances of a top-six finish.

Frankston Pines won its first game of the season when downing Sandown Lions 2-1 at Monterey Reserve on Friday night.

Ali Khan was the home team hero scoring both goals.

His first gave Pines a half-time lead and his second – a header from a corner – proved decisive.

Pines keeper Caleb Parr made a series of crucial saves through the match.

In State 5 news Mount Eliza’s push to maintain its league status is still on course after Saturday’s 3-2 derby win over Mount Martha at Emil Madsen Reserve.

A through ball from the visitors saw Daniel Bancroft give them a 13th min-

ute lead but in the 32nd minute a Noah Green free-kick was headed in by Lachie Mitchell for the equaliser.

Minutes later Trevor Smith intercepted a pass from Mount Martha keeper Derren Elliott and made it 2-1 and shortly after it was 3-1 when the Mount Martha defence couldn’t deal with Green’s free-kick.

The visitors had much more of the game in the second half but could only hit back in the 70th minute when Archie Thomas finished off a fine interpassing move.

Seaford United had a resounding 6-1 away win over Keysborough on Saturday and still eyes a top-two finish with six games remaining.

Zain Ahmad opened the scoring in the 33rd minute when he controlled a Backy Barakzoi cross and converted from close range.

It was 2-0 six minutes later when Dylan Waugh punished the home team’s defence for not dealing with a long ball.

A minute into the second half Conor Mcfall’s half-volley from a Keysborough clearance made it 3-0 and Blake Hicks hammered home a left-footed strike from just outside the box to make it 4-0 in the 62nd minute.

It was Ahmad at the double in the 73rd minute after a defensive blunder.

Keysborough’s Diego Galvez was at the back post to head home a wellworked free-kick in the 88th minute but two minutes later Seaford substitute Khalil Bahrami rounded off the scoreline.

Aspendale lost 3-1 away to Endeavour Hills Fire on Saturday with James Macnab on target for the visitors.

Dine out for less app launches in Frankston

Great food at local venues doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Thanks to a smart Aussie app called EatClub, Frankston locals can now score up to 50% off food and drink at popular venues like Hotel Paradiso, Iron River Bar & Grill, Frankston Brewhouse, Tres Mexican, Banks Brewery, Ordain Bistro and many more, just by redeeming a deal in the app before eating out. How it works

To do so, you only have to download the free EatClub app from the App Store or Google Play and create an account. From there, you’ll instantly see real-time offers from nearby restaurants. If you like the look of a deal, simply redeem it, add your EatClub card to your digital wallet, and tap to pay to apply your discount automatically.

“One of the pain points we noticed in the market was the awkwardness of checking out with a coupon code,” says founder Pan Koutlakis. “With EatClub Pay, all you need to do is tap your phone, and the discount is automatically deducted from your linked bank card. No

awkward conversations. This means no fussing around at the counter - you don’t even have to let the venue know that you have a deal.”

With a huge variety of great local venues, it’s the perfect way to get a deal on dining out, great for occasions with your friends and family, or even an average

weekday dinner, while supporting local business owners. Why restaurants love it too For local restaurant owners, the biggest challenge is consistency.

While most venues are packed on weekends, weekdays can be quieter; but these days of the week are still important to move stock, pay wages and cover overheads.

The app was launched in 2016 by founder Pan Koutlakis in partnership with celebrity chef Marco Pierre White (who mentored Gordon Ramsey and was the youngest chef in history to earn three Michelin stars), and has been expanding ever since into new markets, including the UK and now, Frankston.

“It’s all about contribution to costs,” says White. “Yes, you don’t do it on a Friday, Saturday night, Sunday lunch, because [restaurants] can fill up then. But Monday night’s a tough night... And especially in these testing times, everybody wants a deal.”

Exclusive Frankston Times reader bonus

For readers of the Frankston Times, EatClub is also offering an additional $15 off your first Frankston dine-out order, on top of any deal already active at the venue with the code FRANKSTON15. As Koutlakis says, “It’s just a great way to eat out while supporting your local business owners, everyone wins.”

Frankston City Small Business Grants

Now in its 14th year, with more than $1.4 million in grants already delivered, Frankston City Small Business Grants have helped 104 innovative and sustainable business ideas come to life since 2012.

If you have a business in manufacturing, retail, health, professional services or hospitality you could be eligible.

A recipient of last financial year’s Frankston City Business Grants is Stache House – a craft liqueur distillery opening in Carrum Downs very soon.

Owner Mark Rigby who started his business nine years ago as a coffee supply business said the funding has assisted with the fit out for their new cellar door and venue at Amayla Crescent in Carrum Downs.

“This funding has really helped with the expensive start-up costs involved in building a hospitality venue.” Mr Rigby said.

“Frankston has a thriving population of young families that love to support local businesses. My plan for this venue was to create a space that feels like a second living room or a home away from home and we can’t wait for it to open.”

Stage 1 of the 2025 – 2026 round of Frankston City Business Grants are open from 11 August 2025 to 22 August 2025 and offer between $5,000 and $20,000

per business with up to $180,000 available.

Open to eligible businesses to help support business growth, employment growth, business start-up in a commercial space in Frankston City, expansion from a home-based or mobile business to a commercial property, or relocation from another area.
