‘Time’ call for wine bar Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN application to open a tavern with an extended liquor licence in Main St, Mornington should be “called in” by Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors, according to Mornington MP David Morris. The term refers to the occasional government practice where a minister

“calls in” a project or proposal being considered by a council and makes the decision for it, thereby overriding the normal planning process. Mr Morris wants to ensure councillors and not council officers decide if Mornington should get a tavern. “I don’t normally stick my nose in, but I am concerned that the community is not aware of what is proposed … council needs to provide leadership.” His call has been echoed by Cr Bev

Colomb who said Mornington was at “over capacity” with late-night venues whose patrons often caused problems. “The police do a great job and they have put a lot of resources in managing them,” she said. Mr Morris said the application for the tavern at 39A Main St, formerly La Porchetta, would substantially change the character and role of the site. “The proposal [for the tavern] is a significant change from the existing

use, and should not be determined solely by council planners.” Mr Morris said that while there would be no extension to the hours of operation: 11am-1am Sunday to Thursday, and 11am-3am Friday and Saturday, a “significant variation of the existing conditions is proposed because the condition that the predominant activity must be the preparation and service of meals would be removed. Also, the requirement to provide seating for 75 per

cent of patrons would also be removed and there would be a variation to the permitted volume of live or recorded music.” Mr Morris said the applicant’s stated intention was to operate “an upmarket wine bar late into the late hours of the evenings – a relatively low-key use.” He believes the proposed variations “would permit a range of entirely different and potentially more disruptive uses”.
