NEWS DESK VEC backs ward boundary changes THE Victorian Electoral Commission says changing the boundaries of Cerberus, Nepean, Red Hill and Seawinds wards will “ensure equitable representation for voters”. The final report on the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council subdivision review was released Friday. “The recommended adjustments will help uphold the principle of ‘one vote, one value’ for the upcoming local council elections,” electoral commissioner Warwick Gately said. If the changes are adopted, Red Hill ward’s sole councillor will represent more than half of the municipality. The VEC researched key features of the shire and “carefully considered public submissions” in making its recommendation, he said. The number of voters represented by each councillor must fall within 10 per cent of the municipal average. The report has been forwarded to the Local Government minister Natalie Hutchins for consideration. If accepted, the new boundaries will take effect at the local council elections in October. See the report at vec.vic.gov.au or by calling 131 832. Copies are available at council offices.

the environment in our acute mental health unit and the safety of clients and staff,” Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams said. “Our staff do a fantastic job caring for our mental health clients, however, the physical environment falls well below contemporary standards and impacts the recovery of patients and the safety of our staff.” Ms Williams said the money would allow the hospital to create a more pleasant space to help
patients recover faster with its upgraded courtyards, dining and activity areas. Peninsula Health mental health services, and the 2 West Ward in particular, consistently outperform other health services in Victoria and lead the state in reductions of restrictive interventions and seclusions, Ms Williams said. “Peninsula Health is a health service on the move with over $150 million in capital investment over the last five years.”
