Owl experience is a hoot MEET Hooty, the high flying star of the conservation and action show at Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale. The three-year-old barn owl born and raised at the sanctuary enjoys performing point-to-point flying demonstrations under the watchful eye of keeper Fiona Rose. Their shows are held 2.20pm every day at the sanctuary on TyabbTooradin Road. Handlers wear falconry gloves to ward off Hooty’s strong talons. Picture: Gary Sissons
Boats free to launch Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A DAY on the water will now be cheaper for boating enthusiasts in Frankston. Boat ramp fees were abolished at Kananook Creek and Olivers Hill last week. Boat ramp parking permits will
no longer be issued and casual parking fees will be removed for people parking with boat trailers. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “by scrapping these fees, we’re ensuring more members of the Frankston community can get out on the water and wet a line.” Fishing and boating minister Jaala Pulford said “getting rid of parking
and launching fees is a massive win for Victorian families, who can enjoy more affordable boating and fishing this season.” The state government promised to abolish boat ramp fees statewide in the leadup to the state election in November last year. At Frankston Council’s 2 September meeting, councillors voted unanimously to “revoke all
boat launching fees previously adopted as operation - foreshore reserve maintenance in its 2019-2020 fees and charges (...) subject to reimbursement of income from Better Boating Victoria, authorise the Chief Executive Officer to execute the funding agreement with Better Boating Victoria for ongoing reimbursement to council for loss of income in relation
to removal of fees at boat ramps, and authorise officers to make pro-rata refunds to existing permit holders for the unused component of their current 2018/2019 permit.”
