‘Land banking’ developers face huge rate rise
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
of
Under a proposal put forward by Frankston Council, vacant
within the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre and along the Nepean Highway would be subject to a differential rate three times higher than the general rate. Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said the proposed change would address “land banking” and encourage developers to build.
“There are several key locations across our city that have remained vacant since the early 2000s. This kind of tactical underdevelopment is no longer sustainable, so the council is taking steps to counteract the practice of land banking,” he said. “Land banking in strategic nodes of our city centre, and along the Nepean Highway stretch, is harmful and preventing much-needed infrastructure – such as hotels and more permanent housing options – from being built. This is the kind of investment that our community desperately needs”. Council estimates that there are more than 50 parcels of vacant land along the Nepean Highway and within the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre. The proposed differential rate for these sites is 300 per cent of the general rate for the 2025-2029 period, up from 125 percent between 2021 and 2025.
To comply with the state government’s rate cap, Frankston Council can only raise the amount it collects from rates by three percent in the next financial year. The proposed differential rate would mean ordinary residential and commercial rates will rise by around two percent, Bolam says.
“This isn’t extra income for the Frankston City Council coffers –any revenue raised through this new scheme will be strictly purposed to reducing the overall contribution needed from residential and commercial ratepayers,” the mayor said. “My message to those holding onto key parcels of undeveloped land is simple: do something with it or sell it to someone who will.”
Submissions are open until 24 May. To view council’s rate plan and make a submission visit engage. frankston.vic.gov.au/council-andwellbeing-plan

Flinders on a knife-edge
Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au
THE federal seat of Flinders is a safe Liberal seat no more. The seat has been held continuously over the last halfcentury by the Liberal Party, except for a single period between 1983 and 1984. It is now going to be held by the Liberals by the slimmest of margins or potentially even lost.
As of midday Monday, the result is still unclear with the Australian Electoral Commission currently “estimating” that 3113 votes separate Liberal Zoe McKenzie and independent Ben Smith. This is with 102,505 votes currently counted and preference distribution incomplete. For reference, there were a total of 104,589 votes in the electorate in the 2022 federal election.
During election night, the AEC provided a “two candidate preferred” graphic showing the estimated outcome between the Liberal incumbent Zoe McKenzie, and Labor’s Sarah Race. Around 10pm, this graphic disappeared with the AEC possibly re-evaluating the outcome in consideration of potential preference allocations, placing Smith into the two-candidate-preferred mix.
Currently, McKenzie’s primary vote sits at around 41.17%. This figure is a little more than 2% down on her results in 2022 when she polled 43.49% of the primary vote.
Labor’s Sarah Race has lifted her party’s primary vote slightly and is currently at 22.33%, compared to 21.73% of the primary vote in 2022.
The great disruption in 2025 was the campaign of independent Ben Smith.
The Climate 200-backed candidate attracted 22.02% of the primary vote.
Comparison can be drawn from 2022 where two “community independents” stood; Sarah Russell who managed 5.25% of primary votes and ex-councillor for the Mornington Peninsula Shire
Despi O’Connor who managed 7.24% of the primary vote. Together the two “community independent” candidates attracted 12.49% of the primary vote in 2022. This equates to a near 10% jump in votes to the “community independent”.
The result in Flinders will now down to preferences and it may be days before we have an eventual winner.
McKenzie is at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to preferences.
McKenzie can count on One Nation preferences. Mike Brown, One Nation’s candidate in Flinders, ran a vocal campaign in support of McKenzie, and polled around 5.28% of the primary vote; a two percent jump on One Nation’s primary vote in 2022. Beyond the preferencing from One Nation, it becomes much less clear for McKenzie.
On the other side of the ledger, Labor and independent Ben Smith held around 22.33% and 22.02% respectively of the primary vote. This creates a block of a
little over 44% assuming preferences from those that voted Labor would head towards Smith above the Liberals and vice-versa.
Looking down the ticket, the Greens preferenced Smith over Labor. Having said that, the Greens primary vote has fallen substantially in Flinders, currently sitting at a little under 6% of the primary vote, compared to 9.4% of the primary vote in 2022. Much of this can be attributed to the strong independent candidate but will no doubt have been influenced by the fact the candidate, Adam Frogley, lived well outside the electorate in Healesville.
The situation is much less clear with
Electronic
the Trumpet of Patriots, with the Clive Palmer-backed party controversially placing Liberal Zoe McKenzie last on its how-to-vote card. The move prompted the candidate, Jason Smart, to withdraw his candidacy and implore voters to “put him last”, instead campaigning for One Nation’s Mike Brown (Palmer candidate pulls the plug – ‘Put me last’, The Times 20/4/25).
Not all ToP supporters headed the call with the primary vote running at around 2.6%. The preference fate of over 2500 ToP votes could be consequential in a result that may come down to a handful of votes.
If ToP voters followed the how-to-
vote card suggested by the party head office, it could see preferences heading to Smith or Labor above McKenzie. But from a practical standpoint, Smart not campaigning for the party he was the nominated candidate for would have resulted in little to no how-to-vote cards being distributed on election day, leaving ToP voters without the controversial HQ guidance to preference conservative McKenzie last.
That leaves Joseph Toscano who attracted under one percent of the primary vote. Toscano instructed voters to put him first, but decide preferences for themselves, so it is unclear how that will play out in terms of preferences.

Kingston councillors debate standing down process
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A PROPOSAL to release information about the standing down of Cr Jane Agirtan has sparked disagreement between Kingston councillors.
Councillor Jane Agirtan was stood down under section 229 of the Local Government Act after being charged with breaching a personal safety intervention order. At Kingston Council’s 28 April meeting, councillor Chris Hill moved a notice of motion to “where possible, release details of the internal review that has taken place into the events that led to the standing down of a councillor” and “develop a robust process for the handling of similar matters in future that incorporates the principles of good governance.”
Minutes before the meeting was scheduled to begin, amendments to the notice of motion were emailed to councillors. The amended motion, which was moved by councillor Georgia Erevnidis and seconded by Caroline White, substantially changed the wording of the motion.
The amended motion gave council’s CEO final discretion over the release of information and omitted the development of a process to handle similar matters in the future.
Cr Hill criticised the amended motion, saying the “intent has drifted from the intent I had when I raised this notice of motion.”
“What was driving me at the time of putting it forward, and the wording, was very much about addressing
something that needed to be addressed and doing it in as respectful a way as humanly possible,” he said.
Cr Kirralee Ashworth-Collett also voiced concerns about the amendment - she said “I would like for this to be open and for us to be able to get legal advice that’s separate from legal advice that the mayor and CEO have been given.
“I don’t think that’s unreasonablewe asked to see legal advice from last week, we still haven’t been able to see that. This isn’t sitting right with me, it isn’t sitting right with lots of the community, and I feel like it’s not unreasonable that we want this to be clear to the community.”
Cr Erevnidis, who moved the amended motion, said “we need to inform the community that action has been taken regarding social media. There needs to be a balance between respectful confidentiality and being transparent.”
“So far in the amendment councillors have been given the opportunity to ask questions and therefore this amendment is appropriate,” she said.
The final amended motion approved at last week’s meeting read that “Council note the confidential briefing on this matter that occurred on 22/4/25 and release any further information to the public as deemed appropriate by the CEO. Council further notes that
this matter is operational in nature.”
The motion also read that “Council note the requirements set out under section 229 of the Local Government Act and that the CEO provide this advice to councillors and any further advice to ensure their eligibility as a councillor and what to do if they are unsure of their eligibility” and that “Council note that the CEO provided a confidential briefing on this matter on 22/4/25 where councillors were able to ask questions to the CEO. Should further questions arise from councillors following this briefing and actioning of points 1 and 2 the CEO ensure that a further legal briefing is held for councillors to provide further clarity
on councillors requirements to fulfil their role and eligibility.”
Cr Hadi Saab raised a point of order and said the amendment should not be accepted as it changed the original intent of the notice of motion. The mayor Georgina Oxley, who confirmed she had input on the amended motion, ruled against the point of order. Although most of the amendment was passed, councillors voted against the release of a report on the matter at next month’s public meeting. Kirallee Ashworth-Collett, Tony Athanasopoulos, Chris Hill, Tess Law, and Hadi Saab voted for the report’s release, but the vote was defeated with the casting vote of the mayor.

A Dangerous Dog - Child claims damages after being bitten
Compiled by Cameron McCullough Legal argument had postponed a claim at a previous court for £20 for an assault by a dog on a child at Chelsea, Mr. P. Cohen, P.M., having reserved his decision.
It arose over the biting of a child of Robert Joseph Lambert while on his way to school.
Mr. J. M. Hickford, of Hickford & Murray, appeared for Mrs. Amy Chittenden, a widow, the owner of the dog in question. Mr. Reg. Wadham spoke for Lambert.
The case was heard on Monday at the Chelsea Court.
Mr. Hickford submitted that an infant could not sue in Petty Sessions except (and by his next friend) in a case of wages or for work and labour done.
After hearing argument from Mr. Wadham, Mr. Cohen held that a minor could so sue.
Mrs. Amy Wills said she lived at the back of a lane where children passed to go to school. On March 11 she heard the scream of a child in fear. She looked up and saw little Bobby Lambert with his arms against a fence and Mrs. Chittenden’s dog jumping at him. She said angrily to the dog: “Get away Bully,” and the dog got down from the child and ran into Mrs. Chittenden’s house.
She called out: “Mrs. Chittenden! Mrs. Chittendenl Your dog is off the chain and has bitten a little boy.” “Nonsense,” replied Mrs. Chittenden, who was sitting on chair on the veranda.
The dog was generally tied with a chain which allowed it to run along a fence wire.
Mr. Hickford: Did you ever say that the child fell on the wire fence and thus got hurt?
Mrs. Wills: No, never.
Is there any barbed wire on the fence? On the top strand only.
Mrs. Bertha Lambert, mother of the child, said that Bobby came home crying and upset. She asked him if he had been teasing a dog, and he said he had not. He said a dog broke off his chain and rushed him and pushed him up against the fence.
The boy was bitten on the fingers and on the lips, and was bruised from the elbow to the shoulder.
Robert Joseph Lambert, father of the child, said when he returned home he found his little boy very much upset. He took him along to Mrs. Chittenden, and said: “Your dog has bitten my child.” She laughed at the idea.
Another lady who was present said: “The children have been teasing the dog.” Mrs. Chittenden said: “I know your boys; they go past here frequently and carry lunch cases.”
My boys do not carry lunch cases. He told Mrs. Chittenden that the dog would have to be destroyed, to which she rejoined: “If my dog is destroyed I will get a more vicious one.”
The doctor’s fee for attending the child was a guinea, and he was kept home ill for fourteen days. He still suffers from the shock, as he is only nine.
Mr. Hickford: There is no evidence that the child was not in the yard.
Boys love to tease dogs, rattle sticks along fences, and when the dogs bark, rattle the more. One guinea receipt is shown from the
doctor, but it is significant that the doctor is not here to give evidence. It is quite possible that the child was in the yard and the dog became frantic and broke loose.
At all events, a claim for £20 damages is absurd.
Mrs. Amy Chittenden, widow, said that Lambert was not speaking the truth when he said that she told him if her dog were destroyed she would get a worse dog. He said the child had been bitten. “I said ‘I doubt it’.”
He demanded that the dog be destroyed. I said “Why?” He said the dog was dangerous. I said the dog was not dangerous, but that the children were always teasing it. I told him I could not live without a dog to protect me, as I had had my pony let out, fowls and wood stolen.

Mr. Bruce at Mornington – The necessity of Defence
The Prime Minister was present at the annual meeting of Mornington branch of the National Federation on Monday evening. There was a large attendance.
Mr. Bruce received a great ovation. He explained the ideals of Nationalism. The National party was the party of great ideals. We should make Australia the freest democracy in the world for all classes.
In Western Australia he had tried to impress upon the people that the National party was out for justice to the rich and generosity to the poor. The facts must be told. How ignorant were some people who were persuaded by speakers who some times made unreliable statements. The people must judge for themselves.
The Prime Minister also referred to Australia’s position in regard to the Empire. Whether we were to remain in the Empire or not, it must be realised that Australia had been under the protection of the mother country.
What would happen if we broke away? Australia could not defend herself for twenty-four hours against an invader. Great Britain was the ally we must stick to.
We must have a white Australia by immigration, which would increase our strength.
The defence of Australia must be secured. If we separated from England we must have adequate and modern war munitions, which would cost us millions a year.
Chemical warfare research cost Great Britain millions a year. We must have the same defence as an invader. To ensure Australia’s financial position she must send out her surplus, and thus we must keep the trade routes open by standing by Britain.
We had four cruisers. We were now embarking on a scheme to secure for defence two modern cruisers, aeroplanes, two cruises submarines and floating dock.
Even when these were ready, in four years’ time, they would not be sufficient to defend Australia.
We must keep the invader from the shores of this country.
The question of immigration was a burning question. We must have more population. Mr. Bruce also spoke of the League of Nations, which would be prepared to safeguard Australia ***
Wedding Bells – Barber-Unthank A very fashionable wedding was celebrated on Wednesday, 29th April, at the Presbyterian Church, Mornington.
The contracting parties were Miss Annie Doris Unthank, of Tyabb, and Mr Claude Charles Barber, of Somerville.
The officiating clergyman was the Rev. W. A. Stevely. A large number of friends of the bride and bridegroom attended the church, and wedding-breakfast in quite a fleet of motor cars, and of course, the happy couple had to run the gaunt let of showers of confetti after the nuptial ceremony.
The whole party, numbering fully sixty persons, adjourned to Mrs. Hoskings’ cafe to a splendid wedding-breakfast.
The bride wore white, crepe de chene, chantilly lace trimmings, oval-shaped lace veil, kindly lent by Mrs.W. Nutt, of Moreland.
The bridesmaid was Miss Kitty Unthank, who wore a salmon-pink crepe de chene and black georgette hat.
The travelling dress of the bride was a navy blue costume and black velvet hat.
The bridegroom is the youngest son of the late Mr. C. Barber and Mrs. Barber, of the “Westernport” orchard, which is to be the home of the bride.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard
Archie sparks Langy celebrations
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
ARCHIE Macphee was the toast of Lawton Park on Saturday evening after a stunning late goal spree underpinned a remarkable 3-2 win for Langwarrin over high-flying Western United.
No-one saw this coming least of all the visitors who were left shell-shocked after being in cruise control with a two-goal lead and just three minutes of normal time remaining.
A Tobias Servin lay-off in the 30th minute was lashed home by James York and when Jake Najdovski had the luxury of a free header from a 40th minute corner Langy seemed certain to remain at the foot of the VPL1 table.
When substitute Dante Avian was tripped inside the box in the 87th minute Lucas Portelli had no trouble converting to make it 2-1.
There was an added urgency about Langy’s game now and a minute later Kosta Apostolopoulos made a superb solo run on the left then crossed to Macphee who chested down and slammed the ball home with his trusty left foot for the equaliser.
And that was that. A point apiece. Or so it seemed.
But in the 90th minute the impossible became possible.
Portelli to Avian to Macphee gave the big Scot the chance to prove that his right foot wasn’t just for standing on.
And he did so in some style switching the ball from his left foot to his right and hammering a low shot past despairing Western keeper Alex Nassiep sparking colourful celebrations on and off the pitch and taking Langy from 14th to 11th spot in the league.
More importantly it gave the local club renewed hope of avoiding relegation in what has been a bumpy ride so far.
In State 1 news Mornington shares top billing with South Springvale but had to wait until the 88th minute to down home team Brandon Park 1-0 on Saturday.
The Seagulls were reduced to 10 men in the 53rd minute after Rory Wagner was shown a second yellow card.
Liron Azizi came on as a sub in the 83rd minute and five minutes later tapped in from close range after a Jay Davies free-kick wasn’t cleared.
In player news assistant coach David Stirton has registered to play for Mornington while young forward Tommy Wood has returned to Peninsula Strikers.
In State 2 news Skye and Doncaster Rovers shared the spoils in a 3-3 draw at Anderson Park on Friday night.
The hosts took less than two minutes to get on the board when Luc Misenga rounded Skye goalkeeper Steven Hadjikakou and finished well.
Doncaster then went 2-0 up but a stroke of good fortune came in the 15th minute when Hadjikakou’s free-kick from inside his own half sailed all the way in.
However Doncaster regained its two-goal buffer in the 28th minute when Alexander Santostefano cleverly finished into the bottom corner and the visitors were staring down the barrel. Less than three minutes later Skye was award-
ed a penalty and although Hadjikakou missed the initial attempt he followed up the rebound and unbelievably had two goals to his name.
Cameron Boulton then drew the visitors level after he found space in the box and finished well. It was 3-3 at half time and spectators could hardly believe what they were seeing but Skye was fortunate to be level.
The second half was in stark contrast to the first but the referee managed to dish out nine yellow cards as well as a red card to already substituted Boulton for supposedly delaying the restart of play.
Peninsula Strikers got their promotion drive back on course with a come-from-behind 2-1 home win over Chisholm United on Saturday.
The visitors took the lead when gifted a free header from a corner in the 21st minute.
Strikers keeper Ben Caballero pulled off a superb reaction save but the ball fell to Andrew Simpson who hammered it home from close range.
Riley Anderton and Jaiden Madafferi came close to equalising in the first half but Strikers made it 1-1 six minutes into the second period when a quick counter-attack ended with Anderton sending Joel Bowen clear and he finished in style past the advancing Chisholm keeper.
It looked like a draw was inevitable until Sam Maggs picked out Campbell Steedman wide on the right with the latter cutting inside a defender before finishing with a left-foot strike for the
Sudoku and crossword solutions
winner in the 88th minute.
In State 4 news Chelsea dropped its first points of the season in a 2-2 draw with Springvale City at Ross Reserve on Friday night.
The home side had the better of the first period and deserved its 1-0 half-time lead thanks to a 38th-minute goal from former Mornington, Langwarrin and Baxter attacking midfielder Nat Daher.
In the 53rd minute it was no surprise that league top scorer James Stinson was quickest to react to a deflected free-kick and tapping the ball home from close range.
When substitute Alex Namar headed home from a Dylan Scott free-kick in the 86th minute the visitors led 2-1.
But two minutes into stoppage time Adam Dunsford handled inside the box and Springvale’s Marti Watt levelled from the spot.
Chelsea signed Nemanja Lojanica from Springvale White Eagles late last week and he came off the bench late in the match.
Chelsea has played four away games in the opening six rounds and this weekend it’s away from home again when it takes on Endeavour United in a top-of-the-table clash for the annual Melino Cup.
Somerville Eagles moved into the top half of the table after Saturday’s 3-1 home win over Sandown Lions.
Marcus Anastasiou, Max Watson and Jake Meggs were Somerville’s scorers.
Frankston Pines earned their first point of the season with a 3-3 draw away to Lyndale United on Saturday.
Two goals from Davey Jones and an own goal went close to giving Pines a first win this season.
Baxter claimed its opening win of the season last weekend with a 4-1 away win against Mentone with Jack Bradbury, Austin Sporys, Charlie O’Connell and Brody Taylor all on target for the visitors.
While promotion seems a fanciful prospect Baxter retains hope that it can achieve a top-six finish and avoid relegation as a result of next season’s league restructure.
Rosebud should have led comfortably at halftime away to Endeavour United on Saturday but the home side overran its opponent in the second half winning 3-0 and grabbing top spot in the league.
In State 5 news league leader Fortuna 60 and visitor Seaford United went toe-to-toe in a crazy 10-goal thriller on Saturday that ended in a draw. Fortuna led 4-0 after 16 minutes courtesy of a second-minute opener from Jake Budija and a Damon Scott hat-trick.
The visitors hit back in the 34th minute when Conor Mcfall won the ball on the halfway line
and played Dylan Waugh through who converted his one-on-one with the Fortuna keeper and just before half-time Naseer Mohammad on the left squared the ball to Jay McCabe for a tap-in to make it 4-2.
A Blake Hicks long throw in the 67th minute led to a goalmouth scramble with Backy Barakzoi smashing home his volley to make it 4-3.
The equaliser came eight minutes later when Mcfall converted a penalty awarded for handball.
And a dream comeback seemed likely when a Mohammad cross in the 91st minute enabled Logan Johnston at the back post to tap home and put Seaford ahead.
But a minute later a looping header from Fortuna winger Hayden Tanti at the back post found its way into the net and the points were shared.
Mount Martha notched its second win of the season when 2-1 success over Keysborough at Coomoora Reserve on Saturday.
The night before Keysborough had considered defaulting as it had lost its coach and some players through the week but decided to fulfill the fixture.
Mount Martha took the lead in the 16th minute when Howie Anderson controlled a cross from the left on his chest then his knee before hammering it home from just inside the box.
Anderson made it 2-0 in the 43rd minute but to Keysborough’s credit it pounced on a poor clearance in the 65th minute and Madi Muhammad scored.
Although Mount Martha then wasted some good chances to make the game safe the coaching staff were pleased with the overall performance.
Aspendale suffered a second loss this season when going down 1-0 at home to Casey Panthers on Saturday.
Casey’s winner came from Lucas Whiteside just before half-time.
In Australia Cup news there is no remaining local representative in the 2025 national tournament which is run in conjunction with Football Victoria’s Dockerty Cup.
Langwarrin was the peninsula’s sole hope of advancing to the next round until its 2-1 loss to State 1 North-West side Clifton Hill at Lawton Park last Wednesday night.
Dean Lorenzi opened the scoring in the 38th minute after being sent through by Robbie Williamson and the unfancied visitors led 1-0 at halftime.
Langwarrin rested Archie Macphee, Brad Blumenthal and Cal Goulding while Tom Youngs was injured.
When Peter Giorges made it 2-0 in the 85th minute latching onto a poor headed clearance it was game over.
Langy’s response came deep into injury time with an own goal from Chris Davies after a mixup with his keeper.
