Planning changes progress to panel

NEW proposed height limits for Frankston’s city centre have progressed to a planning panel after a heated Frankston Council meeting last week.

Last Monday, 18 March, Frankston councillors considered more than 400 submissions on the proposed FMAC structure plan. The controversial plan, which seeks to implement preferred height limits of up to sixteen storeys in Frankston’s city centre, has been moving through the planning process throughout this council term.

During the most recent stage of consultation, 423 submissions were made to council on the plan. 193 submissions supported the proposed planning scheme amendment, but more than 200 opposed it because of the proposed 12-storey height limits near Kananook Creek. Councillors have agreed to send the submissions to an independent planning panel for consideration - Glenn Aitken was the sole councillor to vote against the plan’s progression.

Council will now ask planning minister Sonya Kilkenny to form the independent panel.

The FMAC structure plan has sparked fierce community debate in the last few years. The pro-development Advance Frankston group has led community support for the plan, while “Stop The Great Wall of Frankston” protesters have vocally opposed it. Supporters of both groups attended last week’s meeting.

The 18 March council meeting threatened to turn sour. After an interruption from the public gallery, councillor Suzette Tayler targeted an insult at a prominent Stop the Great Wall of Frankston advocate. She said that the former Frankston Council senior citizen of the year is “not a gentleman”.

Councillor Kris Bolam said that interested parties on both sides of the issue had “let themselves down”, and encouraged community members to “chill out and be friends”.

Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy told last week’s meeting that progressing the structure plan to a panel would “listen to our community, and would be independent from any political viewpoints or influence from our community.”

Councillor Brad Hill said “we need to have that independent assessment of the proposed FMAC structure plan, and to abandon it and end up with potentially a collection of Soviet-style concrete block houses - more South East Water [buildings] - that has to be opposed.”

Councillor Sue Baker, one of three councillors who opposed the FMAC plan during a vote last year (“Controversial height limits approved by council” The Times 19/6/23), said that the issue has caused “division in the community when we need to come together”.

“I’m reflecting on the consultation process and I hope the planning panel, the experts, and additional consultation from the Victorian government will help give us some really robust feedback.”

New Dunkley MP sworn in

JODIE Belyea has been sworn in as the new member for Dunkley.

Belyea won Dunkley for Labor at the 2 March by-election. She replaces former Dunkley MP Peta Murphy, who died from breast cancer last December.

Last Monday, 18 March, Belyea was officially sworn in and attended her first sitting day in Parliament. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese congratulated her on her election.

“This is truly a moment in your life that you will never forget. The excitement and the pride that you feel today is shared by everyone who has been part of your journey to get here - your wonderful family whom I have got to know, your campaign staff, and all the people who believed in you, including of course our beloved friend the remarkable Peta Murphy,” Albanese said. “The electorate of Dunkley is named after Louisa Dunkley, a champion for equal pay for women, and it is fitting that its newest member has dedicated so much of her working life to supporting women in that local community, including as the founder of Women’s Spirit Project.

“Jodie, while Peta Murphy wanted you to be her successor as the member for Dunkley, of course the ultimate decision belonged, as it always does, to the people of your local community. On 2 March, the people of Dunkley put their trust in you to be their champion - I must say that it did give me, the treasurer, and the minister for skills and training the birthday gift that we did want.”

The final votes have now been counted from the by-election. The final turnout rate was 83.7 per cent, down around 7 per cent on the Dunkley turnout rate at the 2022 federal election.

Labor won Dunkley by a margin of 2.7 per cent this month. In 2022 Peta Murphy won the seat for Labor with a 6.3 per cent margin. Labor’s primary vote increased at the by-election by 0.8 per cent, and the Liberals’ improved by 6.7 per cent.

Defeated Liberal candidate Nathan Conroy has returned to the role of Frankston mayor.

Starting pistol fires for gun shop plans

A PLAN to replace a Frankston gun shop with an apartment building has been approved by a narrow majority of Frankston councillors.

The proposed eight-storey building at 59-61 Playne Street features 60 dwellings and a shop. The plan is 34 metres tall, which is below the preferred height limit of 44 metres in the 2015 FMAC structure plan.

The new building would be built on the current home of Mialls Gun Shop.

The plans were approved, subject to some conditions, with a 5-4 vote last Monday. Councillors Brad Hill, Claire Harvey, Nathan Conroy, Suzette Tayler, and Sue Baker voted in favour of it.

The design of the proposal and how far it sets back from the western boundary were questioned by opposing councillors at Monday’s public council meeting.

This Easter, let’s all take extra care driving safely and responsibly across our south eastern suburbs. Have a joyful Easter and remember to always buckle up!

South Side Festival lineup set

SINGER Emma Donovan, a neon lights show, and a drag performance are among the headline acts at this year’s South Side Festival.

The 2024 South Side Festival will take place between 10 and 19 May. The program was launched at the Frankston Arts Centre last week.

Joining Donovan on the lineup is drag performer Brenda Bressed, and experimental art collective Pony Cam. A neon

light display will light up Beauty Park at night, and an auditory bird experience will be installed at George Pentland Gardens.

Donovan said her Songs, Stories & Soul from Family & Country show will tell the history of Australia. “I want to share my story with Australia and the world, and I want audiences to hear my songs and languages to enhance their knowledge of our expansive history of

this country,” she said.

Drag performer Brenda Bressed said “I can’t wait to bring all glam and glitter of drag to South Side. Whether you’re in the mood for an evening of iconic Diva performances or a fabulous Bingo Brunch, we will have you entertained for days.”

School zones shifting next year

THE boundary between Seaford North Primary School and Seaford Primary School has slightly changed.

The state government released its new school zone boundaries last week. Beginning at the 2025 intake, the boundary dividing Seaford North Primary School and Seaford Primary School will shift.

The northern Seaford Primary School boundary has expanded to include Wedge Court and Armstrongs Road, which were previously zoned for Seaford North Primary.

Across Victoria, 25 school zones will change in 2025. Education minister Ben Carroll said the changes would help accommodate for new schools.

“We are well on the way to meeting our target of building 100 new schools by 2026, meaning more Victorian students can reach their potential in high quality new facilities,” Carroll said.

TWO people from Frankston were arrested after police allegedly found drugs and stolen clothes in their car in Horsham.

Police pulled over a car in Horsham at around 4.15am on 14 March. The occupants were wanted over alleged burglaries in Arthur’s Seat and Rye.

Police say they found around $60,000 worth of designer clothes in the car, as well as 1-4 butanol and methylamphetamine.

Driver dies in crash

A MAN has died after a car crash involving a truck in Pearcedale last week.

At around 4.50pm on 21 March, a car collided with a truck travelling in the opposite direction of Tyabb-Tooradin Road. The car’s sole occupant died at the scene.

The truck driver stopped at the scene to assist. They were not injured.

Police are investigating the case of the crash. Anyone with information

can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Drink drivers caught

A CARRUM Downs man had his car impounded and his license cancelled after allegedly testing positive for methylamphetamine while driving on Eastlink earlier this month.

Police conducted an operation on Eastlink in Scoresby on 15 and 16 March. They conducted 2515 breath tests, 15 of which were over the legal blood alcohol limit.

Among those caught by police were a 60-year-old man from Frankston who had a blood alcohol content of 0.090 and a 44-year-old man from Carrum Downs who tested positive for methylamphetamine.

Both had their licenses canceled for six months.

Victoria Police eastern region road policing inspector Jarrod Dowswell said “when you look at the road trauma across the state, we continue to be alarmed at the number of drivers who continue to be caught breaking road rules - in particular, those caught driving impaired.”

“Miscalculation of alcohol consumption is one of the most common reasons given to police when drivers are caught over the limit – suggesting that many people are prepared to risk having a few drinks before getting behind the wheel,” he said. “Police will continue to conduct alcohol and drug testing at every opportunity, so if you choose to get behind the wheel, expect to see us, regardless of whether you are on a freeway.”

Litter trap to keep river clean

A LITTER trap is set to be installed soon to stop rubbish flowing into Patterson River.

THE litter trap is planned for the lower part of Dandenong Creek. Melbourne Water has confirmed that the trap will be designed and installed later this year.

“AS part of the Lower Dandenong Creek Litter Action Plan, which is delivered in partnership with Kingston, Greater Dandenong and Casey councils, EPA, and Parks Victoria, we’ll install a litter trap in the lower stretches of the Dandenong Creek which will service more than half of the upstream catchment area that feeds into Patterson River,” a Melbourne Water statement read. “This new litter trap will be complemented by other upstream actions such as improved maintenance of open spaces that litter comes from, and targeted education and engagement campaigns. While we are still finalising the design and approvals, we are planning on installing the new litter trap later this year.

“THE Patterson River and adjoining Patterson Lakes are fantastic waterways surrounded by beautiful public open spaces, and we know how much the community enjoys everything these spaces offer. Whether it’s here or other waterways across Port Phillip and Westernport it is always disappointing to see litter, which is why Melbourne Water is committed to working with upstream land managers to do what we can to

reduce downstream litter impacts.”

KINGSTON Council has been advocating for a litter trap for years. In June 2021 it wrote to Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny to ask for funding, and in April 2022 it renewed calls for state government investment into Patterson River (“Patterson River pollution prevention investigated” The Times 26/10/22).

ON 23 March a public event to clean up Patterson River will take place. For more information on the Paddle for Patterson visit ecocentre. com/events/event/paddle-for-patterson

KINGSTON councillor Cameron Howe said the new litter trap would keep local beaches and waterways clean. “Plastic pollution from the Dandenong suburbs will now face a litter trap barrier to entering Patterson River, before our Patterson Lakes waterways and popular bay beaches, which community clamour has been growing for after the original litter trap failed under rainfall four years ago,” Howe said. “AS a red hot issue, the litter trap installation by Melbourne Water this year is welcomed to maintain healthy waterways free of garbage, which ensures the Kingston Coast lives up to its reputation of featuring some of Melbourne’s best beaches.”

Land council control handed to directors

ADMINISTRATIVE control of the Frankston-based Bunurong Land Council (Aboriginal Corporation) has been handed back to the corporation’s directors.

The land council is the Traditional Owner organisation and registered Aboriginal Party (RAP) representing the Bunurong people of the southeastern Kulin Nation on the Mornington Peninsula, Western Port and part of south-west Gippsland.

It was placed was placed under special administration by the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations for six on 11 September last year.

The handover was made last Friday (15 March) to directors appointed by the special administrators.

“The registrar will be monitoring the corporation closely over the next 12 months to ensure it properly transitions back to normal operations,” Kevin Vu, delegate of the Registrar of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations, said in a letter to the land council.

“I ask that the directors carry out their functions and exercise their powers with full care and diligence and in the best interests of the corporation.”

The registrar has allowed the land

council to have up to 13 directors.

Registrar delegate, James Rose, said exemption had been granted “because the exempted provisions would impose unreasonable burdens”.

The land council’s directors can also be appointed for more than two years, the maximum allowed under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006.

Seven directors of the land council announced last week are Anthony Egan, Brett Ingram, Dennis Dyason, Kerry Romney, Lisa Rea, Terry Atkinson and Zoe Upton.

CEO Jody Irwin was appoint in January by a selection panel which interviewed five finalist candidates in December 2023. More than 120 candidates were considered.

Irwin was CEO of Bullinah Aboriginal Health Service (Aboriginal Corporation) from 2019 to 2023.

The selection panel said it had “particularly valued her commitment to building positive team culture through respectful leadership and mentoring, and her track record in building member engagement in the corporation's key role as an Aboriginal communitycontrolled organisation”.

At the time of the appointment of special administrator Peter McQuoid last September, land council members were told that someone in his role

“helps to fix problems such as money trouble, service delivery problems or poor governance” (Administrator to ‘fix’ land council woes, The Times 30/10/23.

For each of the past two years Mornington Peninsula Shire has given the land council $100,000 under a memorandum of understanding agreement that, according to then mayor Cr Steve Holland, “details our partnership on matters such as land care, cultural training and some of the actions of our Reconciliation Action Plan”.

“… The special administrator’s aim is to work with the corporation to fix internal problems and restore it to good health. When I achieve that, I will appoint a new board of directors and hand back control of the corporation to its members,” McQuoid said.

He said the land council had not “successfully” held an annual general meeting for two consecutive financial years “denying members their right to elect directors to govern the corporation on their behalf”.

The land council provides municipal councils with archaeological field assessments as part of cultural heritage management plan (CHMP) process, cultural heritage advice, and information about the Aboriginal community, people, Bunurong culture, and the environment.\

Walking paws lead way to business

RSPCA Victoria is inviting exhibitors to connect with hundreds of passionate pet owners at this year’s Million Paws Walk at Hastings.

The Mornington Peninsula is home to one of the RSPCA’s main dog walking events, which provides the opportunity for businesses to make contact with dog and pet lovers, while raising money to end cruelty to animals.

Event and community fundraising manager Kate Kasby said this year’s event was a special milestone.

“We’re very excited for this year because it marks the 30th anniversary of Million Paws Walk and we are planning an amazing day out for all pet lovers,” Kasby said.

“People love their pets and it’s such a fantastic day out that also helps us end animal cruelty by raising vital funds.

“With the number of animals being seized by or surrendered to our

Chocolate lovers

THERE is still time for chocolate lovers to be in with a chance to win one of four Easter baskets in the Peninsula Cat Rescue Easter raffle.

Support available for Tourette Syndrome

TSAA also runs a national online forum to help people break down the isolation many people with TS feel, educational and resource materials, support groups in six states and school in-service programs.

a 10-year-old at primary school, she is on a mission to ensure that all young people and adults with TS, and their families, are also aware of the support and help there is within the community.

“It made such a difference to our family when we found out there was help and other families to talk to,” she said.

Miller is currently raising money to help families attend camps run by the Tourette Syndrome Association of Australia and is holding a fundraising silent auction and raffle mid-year on the Mornington Peninsula to help more families attend. She is also seeking items and donations from local businesses.

Miller said the support her family received through TSAA was invaluable, and she was happy to be able to spread the word.

“The Tourette Syndrome Association of Australia is volunteer-run charity that has been going since 1989, and all our funds go to directly supporting those with TS,” she said.

“There is a national camps program in six states, where families can meet other families, swap information and find out more about supporting their loved one.

“These are a highlight of the TS calendar year and many families and adults with TS coming together. It is often the first time many meet someone else with TS and it is a vital part of our organisation, which is currently underfunded.”

Miller said the community understanding of TS was often based on what people saw depicted in films, but that was usually exaggerated or incorrect.

“It is a neurological disorder that results in verbal and physical tics, but not everyone will have the same tics, and not everyone will swear like they do in the movies,” she said.

“It’s important to raise awareness in the community and also get the word out to people with TS that there is support and people to talk to.”

The TSAA spokeswoman Sophie Derriman said the association also supported people with other tic disorders. Anyone needing information or businesses that can help by donating raffle items or a hall, should contact the TSAA at info@tourette.org.au

Tickets range from $2 each to eight for $10. The raffle is drawn on 28 March. Go to the group’s Facebook page to find out how to enter, at facebook.com/peninsulacatrescue/ RACHEL

Peer support on hand for Parkinson’s

SOMETIMES, people surprise themselves. You’d hardly call this an inexperienced crew, but when serendipity brought seven Mornington Peninsula residents together they had no idea what they’d be able to accomplish as a group.

They had two major things in common: a close personal interest in the passage of Parkinson’s disease and a genuine desire, coupled with heaps of energy and enthusiasm, to create a support group for those living with PD.

“We’d all seen social media notices from the Victorian not-for-profit organisation Fight Parkinson’s, which highlighted an upcoming meeting for interested parties at the Mount Martha Community House,” Ken Wall said.

“Seven of us turned up, including a couple of businessmen, two super-secretaries, a school teacher, a banker and a former nurse, all with a common goal, to create a local support group for those living with Parkinson’s disease.”

The group’s first meeting was in early 2023 in a Mornington coffee shop, where they tossed ideas around in an atmosphere of informality and camaraderie.

“I had been diagnosed with PD at the beginning of COVID, in 2022,” Joanne Rich said. “I was really in the dark about the disease and my sister said she’d come to support me at the meeting.” Rich had no idea she’d soon become an integral part of what has come to be known as PPPSG -

“We worked out that first we needed to find premises for our meetings. And quick smart,” Angela Wall said. “My husband Ken and I approached our local church. They kindly gave us a room at no cost, and we were on our way.”

One of the first positive decisions the group made was to distribute flyers to medical surgeries, super clinics and local hospitals.

“At our first meeting we went from

seven to 12 attendees, then 12 to 15, then 15 to 20,” Ken Wall said. The group now has 98 people on its database and gets 68 to 70 people at its monthly meetings.

Structuring the PPPSG was “a logical process”, Phillip Hancorne said.

“We just fell into the various roles according to our expertise. We knew we needed signage and bank accounts. I had experience in banking so I’m now the numbers man, and Ken, having run a large communications company, is the word man.”

Decades of dolphin research

THE Dolphin Research Institute last week celebrated 33 years of its achievements and efforts to “improve outcomes for dolphins, whales, and our precious marine environment”.

Executive director Jeff Weir said the picture chosen to mark the institute’s one third of a century “shows something you don’t see every day — a dolphin riding on the head of a humpback whale”.

The picture was taken in 2020 when the same humpback had spent a week

feeding off Phillip Island, the first time such an event had been recorded.

“Our role in capturing knowledge and filling these knowledge gaps is integral to our work spanning four decades,” Weir said.

“Our milestone anniversary reminds our supporters of the journey we have been on together, how far we have come and how the need for our work is greater than ever in these rapidly changing times.”

Weir said gifts from “trusting

donors” were the lifeblood of the organisation.

“They enable us to innovate, develop and maintain programs that otherwise won't happen”, including the ’i sea, i care' and research fellowships.”

Weir said the institute was committed to “making the most out of every donation to achieve impacts for dolphins and whales, their environment and our community”.

ended up being a really fun, memorable meeting.”

The group’s founding members agree that one of its most appreciated aims is the attention given to the supporters, or carers, of those living with Parkinson’s.

“It’s wonderful to see these members comparing notes together over a cuppa at the end of the meetings. We are there to offer them practical and emotional support,” Angela Wall said.

“They share their experiences, their tips and little things they’ve learned. Same with the Parkinson’s members, who really benefit from the inside knowledge of our expert speakers.”

“We like to sit back and watch the interaction between members,” Harcorne said. “It’s very rewarding, one of the highlights for us. We introduce them to one another, and they share their journeys.

“Everyone is different, no-one has identical symptoms. When you come to a group like this you can speak openly about your Parkinson’s symptoms - it’s a blessing.

The group also sought and received advice from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and Bendigo Bank.

The group’s informal approach and outreach seems to be working well, according to Ken Wall.

“We haven’t had any serious stuffups, only one time when the speaker didn’t turn up. The team jumped in and spoke of their experiences, and it

“One of our members recently referred to our meetings as her safe place, so we know we’re on the right track.”

The Peninsula Parkinson’s Peer Support Group meets at 1pm on the first Tuesday of the month but, due to Easter, the next meeting will be 2pm4pm, 9 April at Mount Martha Community House, 466 Esplanade, Mount Martha. Inquiries: call Ken Wall on 0412 561 768 or Phillip Hancorne, 0487 352 190.

Parking fine refund demand

A LEADING council watchdog is demanding that all fines under the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council ’s parking pilot scheme be refunded over “human rights” concerns.

Council Watch Victoria is calling on anyone who has been fined at any of the three trial locations since it started in December 2023 to contact them.

Figures released last week show the shire collected $347,721 from the parking trial, including $96,360 in fines.

Council Watch president Dean Hurlston said the group was particularly interested in hearing from older people who have had trouble using the technology. He said such problems could be used as a basis for a complaint under the Human Rights and Responsibilities Act on the grounds that older people or people with disabilities had been discriminated against.

The parking trial, which operates at Flinders pier, Schnapper Point, Mornington and Sunnyside beach, Mount Eliza, has been unpopular with many beach users and some business owners since it began last December.

While visitors are required to pay for their parking in other beachside municipalities, elements of the shire’s trial have been criticised by motorists, including the minimum $6.50 hourly fee, and the camera technology.

Hurlston said fines issued at the clothing optional Sunnyside beach were of particular concern. Previous public commentary suggested that at least one councillor wants the clothing optional beach closed, which could be a “breach of civil liberties”, he said. There are also concerns about

whether the council has the power to enforce the fines, given that its own policies state that CCTV footage can only be accessed by police.

Hurlston said there were grounds to demand that all parking fines under the pilot be reviewed “as they are not adhering to council policy”.

“We call on council to pause the system, refund all fines, fix their policy and reconsult with the community before restarting the program,” he said.

“There are too many policy gaps, issues, errors and questions to justify this poorly executed trial, human rights and civil liberties are serious considerations for all residents and visitors.”

Mornington MP Chris Crewther said he had received many complaints about the trial from constituents, and believed it was impacting locals and tourists, particularly elderly people and small businesses that relied on being able to park nearby.

Crewther told state parliament that he hoped Mornington Peninsula Shire Council “would conclude” the ninemonth trial as soon as possible.

He also called on the state government to “stop cost shifting” to councils and forcing them to look at things like paid parking to increase revenue.

Similar camera-based parking schemes in NSW are also under scrutiny, with the government there ordering some councils to revert to paper parking fines after revenue surged by $140 million in three years under a ticketless system.

NSW Finance Minister Courtney Houssos has ordered councils to revert back to paper fines and stated that she wanted to ensure the state’s parking system was “fair and transparent”.

Removing seastars to help the bay’s health

On Saturday 16 March, 25 residents, ecologists, ecology and marine biology students gathered on Mothers Beach, Mornington to do what they’ve been trained to do. That is to identify and remove as many northern Pacific seastars as possible from Mornington harbour.

These invasive pests are decimating parts of the bay where they aggregate in their thousands. They have a voracious appetite, especially for small marine organisms which would ordinarily be the food source for many other marine creatures.

In the absence of these seastars, the bay has a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem which is what helps sustain it. With the seastars the marine ecology is devastated. Females can lay 20 million eggs in one year and a seastar can regrow arms if the central mass is intact.

Removing 4605 seastars on the Saturday was a great effort by all involved and thanks goes to both Earthcare and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for getting behind it.

With continued education, all bay users might appreciate the effort that goes into such an activity and realise that this kind of event benefits everyone.

Good news for beaches

It is excellent that, from July, Mornington Peninsula’s beaches will be cleaned by hand rather than by a mechanical beach cleaner (Hands up for beach cleaning, The News 12/3/24).

This will ensure that rubbish is more thoroughly collected, but seaweed and other organic matter is left on the beach where it belongs.

At a cost of more than $700,000 a year, I can’t

help but wish clean ups weren’t needed at all.

Sadly, having spent a few hours cleaning up the Mount Martha shoreline as part of Clean Up Australia Day, I have seen just how much rubbish is littered around the peninsula.

If only we could clean up our act. We all have a responsibility to reduce our waste or, at the very least, place it in the appropriate bin.

Females forgotten

We are not seeking an upgrade, we are seeking an actual building full stop (Sporting chance, Letters 12/3/24). Mornington Peninsula Shire Council by delaying building the fully funded clubhouse of the Mount Eliza soccer and netball clubs at Emil Madsen Reserve is truly displaying what it thinks of our female players in the municipality.

That our female players from five year olds to women’s seniors (as well as their opposition players), are only worthy to source fresh drinking water from a shared dog tap.

That they are worthy only to change in shipping containers (or their car), only worthy to toilet in disgusting, rarely serviced port-a-loos with no feminine hygiene disposal, and the rest of the club players and all their growing supporters who come to watch must also be subjected to the same conditions as well as trudge through mud, slip on clay paths precariously perched on hills and pick through dog faeces from those who use our grounds as off-leash dog parks.

Further to this there are no shelters from the ever-increasing extreme weather and no ability to fundraise as we can’t run a canteen.

Every year of delay the building costs go up and federal and state funds have already been allocated, along with the funds raised by the club.

As one of the fastest growing female sports in Australia and the only one left to come to the party, it’s time for the council to show what it really thinks of our girls.

Transparency expected

Is Mornington Peninsula Shire Council fair dinkum about having integrity and being transparent (Budget next step to ‘transparency’, The News 199/3/24)? That is what we as ratepayers expect and crave.

What is the real cost of setting up a low cost alternative transparency hub instead of the $300,000 originally proposed by shire officers?

Also, what is the benefit to the shire, moneywise, regarding staging the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forrest Show at The Briars?

I have looked on the shire’s website without success. Surely these figures should be freely available? After all it is our money?

Why the reluctance and secrecy regarding simple questions?

Gerard van de Ven, Mount Martha

Informed on climate

As an attendee of the climate change symposium hosted by Peninsula Voice I can only endorse the sentiments expressed in your coverage (Climate change - our home, our future, The News 19/3/24).

Hearing well informed people talking with knowledge and commitment was refreshing after some of the hyperbole expressed by climate deniers in the major papers.

David Karoly provided a wealth of hard data to support his summary of the current climate situation.

Most inspiring and giving hope for the future was Sam Lundberg. This young man seems destined to be a leader in the future, showing both commitment and enthusiasm for his volunteer climate work.

It is a shame that not more people were able to attend this enlightening evening, although it was nearly standing room only, showing the commitment of local residents of the Mornington

Dr Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Emission facts missing

Sure, in the long run, we all have to work emission reduction (Climate change - our home, our future, The News 19/3/24). However, crucifying ourselves is not the answer, considering that China is producing more emissions that Australia, Europe and the United States together, and still expanding many coal fired power plants.

Maybe The News can follow up with an article based on facts?

At least that would present some facts without emotions.

Peter Scharpenack, Mornington

Nuclear outclassed

Politicians can preach about nuclear, but let’s get real. Home solar with battery quickly installed and integrated with the whole system outclasses it now and in my lifetime.

Rooftop solar is predicted to grow fourfold over the next two decades to more than 70gw. It is the cheapest option for consumers.

To be competitive in this rapidly changing market, large scale power projects will need to be nimbler and financially sounder than nuclear.

Was Councillor Oates Libelled?

UNDER the above heading an inaccurate and obviously partisan statement regarding the proceedings in the County Court last week, when Cr. Oates sued W. C. Young, publisher of “The Standard,” and Mrs. Wilson, dairywoman, appears in another paper, which, by reason of its ridiculous partiality is referred to by an amused public as “Oates’ Weekly.”

The newspaper referred to, in its garbled statement of the case, omits to state that the offer to quash proceedings at the eleventh hour came from Oates’ counsel, and that the only disclaimer asked for was a general assurance from Mr. Young that he, as Editor, published the offending notice in “The Standard” simply as an advertisement in the ordinary course of business, and with no intention of casting reflections on Cr. Oates’ personal character, and expressing regret for the said publication.

No withdrawal by Mrs. Wilson, who inserted the offending advertisement, was asked for or received, and yet “Oates’ Weekly” says “It is understood that Mrs. Wilson is to publish a statement.”

A faithful report of the court proceedings appeared in last Friday’s “Standard.” Its accuracy cannot be challenged. We, in a spirit of fairness, refrained from comment, and cut out all embellishments.

The disclaimer “The Standard” consented to publish as a compromise, at the suggestion of Cr. Oates’ counsel, was no more than we were prepared to do at the very outset. The said disclaimer stands.

All added embellishments now suggested by the other side are unauthorised and untrue. ***

THE Red Hill Show was held on Wednesday last in ideal weather, the rain of the night before laying the dust and making everything most pleasant.

There was a very good display, the products of the district being well represented.

A large number of visitors were present, including the Hon. the Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Gordon), Hons. Chandler and Tyner, M.L.C., Downward, M.L.A. and a number of other public men.

Speaking at the luncheon, the Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Gordon) quoted figures which had recently been compiled, showing the development of the fruit industry in Victoria.

The Ministry, Mr. Gordon said, had settled large numbers of young men on he irrigated lands of the State.

They were engaging in fruit culture, and the industry was growing rapidly.

In Victoria 7,500,000 fruit trees had been planted, and of this number 5,250,000 were in bearing. There were also 3,500,000 plants of berry fruits and nuts. The provision of transport facilities and markets would have to be carefully considered.

It was also desirable that more attention should be given to the packing and preparation of fruit for market.

The Department of Agriculture would shortly appoint a superintendent, who would devote the whole of his time to educating growers in packing and preparing fruit for

market.

This would be in addition to the superintendent of Horticulture, who had been appointed recently.

Mr. Gordon said that since the 1918-19 season, when the export trade amounted to 330,000 cases, the trade last season had increased to 438,000 cases.

Mr. Chandler, M.L.C., referring to the fruit trade, more particularly in relation to export markets, said that during his recent visit to London he had carefully investigated the condition of the markets and the manner in which Victorian growers prepared their fruit.

Fruit from Victoria had not the best name, and it was regarded as inferior to that sent from Western Australia and South Australia.

At Covent Garden market he found that while there were a dozen or even 50 good packs, one faulty consignment was spoiling the name of Victorian apples.

Some of the fruit was badly graded and packed. Action should be taken to prevent this class of fruit passing the inspectors.

American growers, however, placed their apples on the English market in excellent condition, well graded and packed in clean cases. South Africa was supplying thousands of cases of pears to the English market, and would shortly be in a position to complete for the apple trade.

Victorian growers sent too many cases of apples to the Covent Garden Market. This trade required to be regulated so that Manchester and other places might be adequately and economically supplied. It cost 2/6 a

case to send the fruit from Covent Garden to Manchester, which could be better and more cheaply supplied by direct consignments. He suggested that the Ministry should appoint a Minister to look after the interests of fruitgrowers and the development of the industry.

Frankston Police Court

Tuesday, March 25, 1924 Before Messrs. C. W. Grant (chairman), C. Gray, P. Wheeler, and J. Brown, J.sP.

Martin Liedholm was charged with having ridden a motor cycle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor.

Defendant, who said he was drunk, had thought it would go off after an hour or two rest, was fined £5, in default 14 days. His licence was cancelled.

Patrick Cullen and Alfred William Hall were charged with assaulting W. E. Gossop and A. Saunders respectively, special, officers of the Railway Department.

Defendants, who pleaded not guilty, were defended by Mr. P. J. Ridgway, whilst Mr. Sullivan appeared for the complainants.

The case for the complainants was that the defendants were acting in a disorderly manner in a railway carriage at Frankston on March 16, and upon being spoken to used offensive language and struck the complainants.

The defence was that the defendants, who had been spending the day at Frankston, with some lady friends, were returning to the station.

When going along the ramp a man, under the influence of liquor, had

made an objectionable remark to the ladies.

One defendant thereupon took to the man and punched him. They then went to the train, and after taking their seats, these men came along and wanted to make trouble, and it was while this argument was taking place the complainants came on the scene, and thinking they were part of the other parties they got struck.

They did not know they were railway officers.

In fining the defendants £3 with 12/6 costs each, the chairman said the Bench were determined to stop this conduct on trains.

John Williams was charged with using obscene language in a public place, and also with having assaulted W. T. Glendenning, a special railway officer.

Defendant, who pleaded not guilty, was defended by Mr. O’Connor, while Mr. Sullivan appeared for the complainant.

After hearing the case at some length, defendant was fined £2 and 12/6 costs on each of the charges.

Alex Shelton, who was charged with having been drunk and disorderly, was fined 10/-.

A number of cases of failing to send their children to school were dealt with, and fines of 2/- on each charge were inflicted.

The renewal of a produce agent’s licence was sought by and granted to A. D. Box.

A carrier’s licence was granted to, J. W. T. Parker, of Langwarrin.

Red Hill dominate in Grand Final win

PROVINCIAL

RED Hill smashed Pines last week to claim the MPCA Provincial division premiership.

Pat Rollo Reserve hosted the Grand Final last Saturday and Sunday. Red Hill batted first on day one, and put 172 runs on the board. Simon Dart top scored with 55 runs before he was given out for obstructing the field.

Pines’ run chase on day two was disastrous. They were bowled out for just 70 runs, handing Red Hill the title.

Pines started their innings poorly, falling to 3/10 early. At 8/35 their innings was truly doomed. Harley

Peace-Stirling scored 47 of his side’s final total. Chris Dew did the damage for Red Hill on day two - he took 5/32.

PENINSULA

DROMANA were crowned champions of the MPCA Peninsula division last Sunday.

Dromana played Mount Eliza in a two-day Grand Final at Emil Madsen Reserve last weekend. Dromana won the toss and chose to bat first.

Dromana scored 211 runs on day one.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

An early collapse cost Mt Eliza the game. Opener Tom Baron scored 26 runs, but his first three batting partners were dismissed for single-digit totals.

Mt Eliza was bowled out for 112.

Zacc Klan took four wickets to help his side get over the line.

DISTRICT

SEAFORD and Crib Point faced off in a tight Grand Final at RF Miles Reserve last weekend.

Seaford batted first on day one.

Knocks of 57 and 41 respectively by Aaron Bardwell and Jacob Foxwell helped them reach a final total of 168.

Spencer Wilton and Matthew Blake helped keep down Seaford’s total. They took four wickets each.

Crib Point opener Mark Cairns was dismissed for a golden duck at the start of the run chase, but the Magpies soon got things back on track. Skipper Blake-Hogan Keogh led from the front with a hard-fought half-century.

The fall of wickets was steady on day two as time ticked away. Crib Point ended up falling to 9/124, putting victory beyond their grasp. They were bowled out for 149 from 72 overs.

Seaford emerged from the match as premiers.

SUB DISTRICT

BONEO chased down a target of 204 to claim the MPCA Sub District premiership on Sunday.

Ferrero Reserve hosted the two-day Grand Final. Mt Martha batted first, and played well.

Mt Martha went on to score 204 runs.

Boneo’s run chase started poorly. They fell to 2/19 early, but quickly corrected course.

Dilasri Lokubandara was the matchwinner for Boneo. He scored an unbeaten 75 to help guide his side to premiership glory.

Boneo won by four wickets with six overs left to play.

Macleod’s men blitz Brighton

SOCCER

GUS Macleod has returned to senior coaching ranks in spectacular fashion after Chelsea’s stunning 8-0 thrashing of Brighton on Friday night.

Edithvale Recreation Reserve was abuzz with high expectations before this State 4 season opener but noone anticipated the demolition of the Dendy Park visitors that ensued.

Chelsea was 2-0 up when Brighton’s Connor Karambinas was shown a straight red in the 40th minute.

English striker James Stinson had opened the scoring after six minutes and a stunning free-kick from just outside the area by Elwood City recruit Daniel Lewis in the 33rd minute already had the visitors on the back foot.

The second half was a rout.

Stinson completed his hat-trick, Daniel Vella grabbed a double while South Yarra recruit Jacob Ross added to the onslaught.

Chelsea didn’t need a helping hand but an own goal from Brighton’s Alessandro Tamo added to his side’s misery.

Macleod was typically circumspect after the match.

“I’m just happy to get that first game out of the way,” he said.

“Look it’s a good start but once that boy got sent off they were really struggling.

“It was quite pleasing though and our boys worked hard and the new players that have come in have freshened the squad up.

“But it’s only one game so no-one’s getting carried away.”

In other State 4 matches Baxter’s season started with a dramatic 3-1 away win over Sandown Lions thanks to goals from Brody Taylor, Dylan Murchie and Ryan Brown.

An on-field incident with a few minutes remaining sparked a melee that caused the match to be abandoned.

Baxter players and officials required a police escort to their cars and it’s understood that the local club will lodge a formal complaint with Football Victoria.

Baxter’s Sava Baledrokadroka was taken from the venue in a police vehicle as a safety precaution.

Somerville Eagles and Mentone both lost.

Somerville was on the wrong end of a nine-goal thriller going down 5-4 at home to Springvale City while Mentone lost 4-0 away to Monash University.

Somerville’s goals came from Marcus Anastasiou (2), Conor Mcfall and a Springvale defender.

In VPL1 Langwarrin’s unbeaten run stretched to seven matches after Friday night’s 2-2 away draw with Brunswick City.

Tom Youngs put Langy ahead in the 11th minute with a shot from inside the area after cutting in from the left.

Just before half-time Lucas Portelli dislocated his kneecap and had to be replaced by Charlie Fry.

Brunswick hit back early in the second half but Youngs restored the visitors’ lead from the penalty spot following a handball only for a longrange strike in the 89th minute leaving honours even.

In State 1 Mornington’s season started with a 3-0 home win over Collingwood City.

This one was done and dusted by half-time.

A deflected Rory Currie shot opened the scoring after two minutes and in the 24th minute Shaun Kenny buried the rebound after heading onto the post.

A Ryan Paczkowski free-kick was headed home by Josh Heaton in the 34th minute but the towering defender was forced off at half-time with a heel injury.

The second half was scrappy but the home side has started on the right side of the ledger as head coach Adam Jamieson and his men attempt to remove the NPL monkey from the club’s back.

State 2 kicked off in controversial fashion with home side Peninsula Strikers sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with Greater Dandenong while Skye United had a 2-1 away win over Chisholm United.

Strikers fell victim to a bizarre display from referee Warwick Berner that culminated in a dramatic finale.

Cooper Andrews had given the home side a 1-0 half-time lead after Strikers’ press forced a turnover and Andrews’ low left-foot shot went in off the post.

Strikers looked to have bagged all three points until an inexplicable mixup between Stevie Elliott and keeper Faraz Zenoozi left Zaki Rohani unmarked and he equalised from close range.

That was in the 93rd minute but the official teamsheet listed that goal as being scored in the 87th minute.

Play continued with conjecture over the reasoning behind so much added time.

In the 97th minute Strikers’ substitute Noah Musso was tripped well inside the area.

Surely Berner would point to the spot but no.

Berner stood as if transfixed and seemingly baffled by the vociferous nature of appeals from both on the pitch and off but what happened next caused an uproar.

When he eventually consulted his

linesman those within earshot of their exchange were adamant that the linesman thought it was a penalty but the referee refused to change his decision.

He was escorted from the pitch at game’s end.

Skye United was rewarded in the 14th minute of its clash when Nhan Than caught out Chisholm keeper Rani Dowisha with a chip from 30 metres.

Chisholm hit back in the 36th minute when Dragan Milesevic played a neat one-two inside the box and converted well.

Skye pressed for the winner after the interval and returning recruit Alex Roberts made the moment count in the 62nd minute when he headed in a George Jeffs’ corner.

The final 25 minutes were frantic but the visitors did well enough to hold on for a fine victory to kickstart their campaign.

In State 3 Frankston Pines lost 3-1 at home to Middle Park.

Middle Park led 3-0 before Pines hit back through Josh Botha who was signed from Peninsula Strikers last week.

In State 5 news Aspendale thumped Pakenham United 11-0 at IYU Reserve on Saturday.

The visitors led 4-0 at half-time and a feature of the second half onslaught was a hat-trick inside 15 minutes from Taylan Yildirim.

Aspendale’s other scorers were Ryan Mravljak (2), Matthew Bruce (2), Gianluca Bozzo, Dom Paul, Juan Reineke and Jordy Athanassiou.

Seaford United also got its season off to an impressive start but in far different circumstances.

Seaford was hosting Cleeland United which was making its State League debut.

The decision to accept Cleeland’s

application to join State 5 South has left Football Victoria with egg on its face because Cleeland’s seniors failed to turn up at North Seaford Reserve.

The visitors had to field their reserves in the senior match and early in the second half with the score at 10-0 another injury meant that they could no longer continue.

Seaford’s scorers were Josh Vega (3), Blake Hicks (2), Michael Nobbs (2), Wise Barakzoi, Cory Osorio and Mitch Hawkins.

The result may not stand however as the match was called off after 55 minutes.

Jordan Vacouftsis reports that Mount Eliza’s campaign got underway with an impressive 5-1 away win over Bunyip District last weekend.

The visitors got off to a flyer leading 3-0 after just 11 minutes.

Tyler White made it 1-0 in the 5th minute with a curled free-kick into the bottom corner and four minutes later a quick break was finished in style with a Cohen King rocket into the top corner.

Bunyip barely had time to draw breath before a back post header from Mount Eliza captain Callum Drysdale made it 3-0 and two goals in the final minute of the first half finished the contest.

In the 44th minute ex-Fijian international Nickel Chand’s free-kick made it 4-0 and a minute later Drysdale’s through ball set up King who cheekily dinked the ball past Bunyip keeper Jake Biondo to put an exclamation mark on a stunning first half.

The home team’s sole reply came in the 85th minute via a superb half-volley from substitute Declan Pepping. Rosebud overcame the dismissal of Nathan Yole in the 70th minute to defeat visitors FC Noble Hurricanes 3-2 on Saturday night.

Rosebud’s Dougie Cunnison opened the scoring in the 14th minute when an excellent low ball whipped in from the right from youngster Barney Johnson presented Cunnison with a tap-in.

The visitors levelled in the 28th minute from the penalty spot but Rosebud hit back four minutes later when Cunnison rolled an indirect freekick back to Johnson whose low drive hit the mark.

In the 55th minute Yole was felled in the box and Cunnison converted.

Following Yole’s dismissal Rosebud coach Stuart Johnson reverted to a more defensive formation and although the home team ran out a deserved winner the Hurricanes grabbed an 89th-minute consolation when a looping free-kick came off the bar giving Ashlan Nautu a tap-in.

Mount Martha lost 2-1 away to Barton United last weekend.

The visitors took a deserved lead after 20 minutes when Lenny Tate converted some good approach play from Dan Bancroft.

Barton pulled level five minutes into the second half when a looping cross came back off the bar and was knocked in from close range.

In the 78th minute after a free-kick was awarded to Barton on the edge of the Mount Martha area a melee erupted resulting in red cards for Barton defender Batoor Jamalie and Mount Martha’s Adam Steele.

When order was restored Barton took the free-kick which came off a post and was converted from close range for the winner.

Mount Martha’s coaching staff asked the referee repeatedly to name the offence resulting in Steele’s dismissal but their requests were denied.

Von Hauke Swoops to Shaftesbury Avenue Victory

Mornington trainer Cliff Brown successfully pulled off a Flemington hit-and-run mission on March 9 to claim the Group 3 Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap (1400m) with his talented gelding Von Hauke.

Brown, who acknowledged that contesting the Group 3 event was throwing his galloper in “the deep end”, enjoyed the spoils after Von Hauke overran odds-on favourite Amenable to win by a long neck.

While Amenable’s defeat saw multis around the country meet their demise, Brown was buoyed by the performance that indicated that Von Hauke was ready to deliver on the promise shown early in his career that saw him start $2.70 on debut at Pakenham in January last year.

“Today was really significant, he actually relaxed,” Brown told Channel 7. “He was a little bit keen on the bridle early but then he sort of relaxed. It was significant I think that at his last start [when] back to the 1100m and he wanted to get running, he came back and learned a lot.

“His sectionals the other day were incredible, so you come here and you throw him into the deep end but you only do it for a reason.”

Brown, a four-time Group 1 winning horseman, returned to Australia in 2021 following twelve years in Singapore. Among his emerging team of 25 horses trained out of Mornington are Von Hauke and fellow last start winners Lady Di Di and Almairac.

His stable star, The Inferno, is nearing a return to the track having closed out his spring campaign last year when contesting three Group 1 events in a row, finishing fourth twice behind wonder mare Imperatriz.

Brown credited Von Hauke’s victory to “the great group of people who work with me” and said that with his racing manners improving, Von Hauke is now likely to step up to 1600m. Which race he contests next is yet to be determined but winning jockey Craig Williams was understandably upbeat post-race about the gelding’s prospects.

“If he races like that then they’re going to have a lot of fun with him, that’s for sure,” he said.
