Pictures: Gary Sissons (main) and John Steele BEACH boxes containing asbestos have been identified along Dromana foreshore and several beaches controlled by Mornington Peninsula Shire, above. The ones at right, pictured in the 1950s, have had asbestos removed.
New rules for beach boxes
Continued from Page 1 New regulations proposed for beach boxes under the shire’s control include a requirement for licence holders to have $20 million public liability insurance. Licence holders must also either own property or live in the shire. Cr David Gill said beach boxes were sited on leased public land and should not be a profit-making venture. He said asbestos in beach boxes was “a huge issue” and the shire “should be leading on this as we have the most in Victoria here on the peninsula”. The shire’s proposed regulations, if adopted after a six-week public comment time, will ban the construction of any more beach boxes as well as limiting licence holders to having one beach box and forcing disconnection of utilities: water, power or gas (“Beach box owners face tougher rules” The News 6/4/20). “The asbestos issue is not resolved,
many still have asbestos and much of it has simply been buried it in the sand,” Cr Gill said. “The elements at the foreshore make it a folly to claim that asbestos is in any way safe.” Cr Gill said the “present idea” was to bring the new leasing regulations in over five years and give “locals more opportunity to have the privilege of using a beach shed on public land”. He said 56 per cent of beach boxes had been sold at some stage “or kept in the hands of people who do not live on the peninsula”. “The underlying unspoken objection will be the perceived loss of investment profit which will occur when the market restrictions are known,” he said. “This selling of a licence over public land for individual profit should be the real subject of any debate.”
THE mental health support organisation headspace has opened a satellite service in Rosebud. While offering three of the four core headspace streams the Rosebud service will also provide outreach support to young people and their families on the Mornington Peninsula. “Right now, Australians are facing a once in a century challenge,” federal Health Minister and Flinders MP, Greg Hunt said. “It is not only important during the coronavirus to focus on our physical wellbeing, but also our mental wellbeing”. He said headspace’s support for young Australians through the COVID-19 pandemic “has been exemplary”. “The important thing for us all to remember at this time is that it is always appropriate to reach out and speak up about mental health.” Financed by the federal government through the South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (SEMPHN), the new service will be delivered by Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS). Elizabeth Deveny, the health care network’s CEO, said Rosebud was the “perfect location to open a headspace service, especially during this time”. Jason Trethowan, headspace CEO, said the Rosebud satellite service was important to increase access to mental health support for young people in the area, particularly as young people experience drastic life changes as a result of COVID-19. The Rosebud service will offer help over the phone or video conferencing, while in-person appointments will be provided “on a needs basis and where able to be provided safely supported by physical distancing guidelines.” The headspace service will operate 9am–5pm, Tuesday to Thursday at 825 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud.
