Narrow streets go one way JUST years after approving plans, including road widths and parking spaces, Mornington Peninsula Shire is about to declare to one-way streets at the Martha Cove housing and marina development. The one-way traffic flow system already declared in one street near the marina will be introduced in helm Avenue and Spinnaker Terrace by mid-year. The decision to ease traffic problems follows complaints by residents and talks between the shire and the Martha Cove Owners Corporation
and Cambridge Management. The shire says the narrow roads “and demand for on-street parking in the area can make it difficult for cars to pass when travelling in opposite directions”. It says a survey found most residents approved of introducing “a one-way treatment in a clockwise direction”. The mayor Cr David Gill said one-way traffic was “a feasible option to improve traffic flow for those residing in and visiting the area”.
Beach dogs brought to heel with tighter rules DOG owners are being asked to “tighten the leash” at nine Mornington Peninsula beaches. In a bid to “encourage residents to better manage dog behaviour and improve dog obedience”, Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and management committees have “developed a comprehensive compliance program to regulate the behaviour of dogs on beaches to improve the amenity of our beaches”, according to the mayor, Cr David Gill. "This partnership allows us to apply all the existing rules and regulations across our beaches in a consistent manner which is a positive outcome for our community." The compliance program is especially aimed at Balnarring Beach, Capel Sound, Dromana, Mer-
ricks Beach, Point King, Point Leo, Shoreham, Somers, and Whitecliffs to Camerons Bight. “We recognise both the benefits of unleashed dog exercise areas for community wellbeing and the importance of managing impacts on the amenity of nearby residents and other beach users,” Cr Gill said. Dog walkers at the nine beaches can expect “awareness and compliance action” from shire rangers; year-round patrols “by skilled and experienced community safety officers” to ensure dogs are “on-lead and under control” and registered. While also “acknowledging good behaviour” they will also be checking that dog owners clean up after their dogs and check on the need to review and improve signs.

The committee says the peninsula has received one per cent of government money received by similar regions. “A mere $22 million in contrast to Greater Geelong’s $2.2 billion!” It says the percentage of the peninsula’s population with access to public transport is the lowest in the state. Kickstarting the committee’s launch lunch was entrepreneur, philanthropist, former Geelong Football Club president and founder of the Committee for Geelong, Frank Costa. The fledgling peninsula committee is styling itself on the Geelong committee and a similar one in Ballarat. Its publicity material makes no mention of the Committee for Greater Frankston, which claims to be influential in attracting government money, and business growth, to the peninsula’s neighbour.

Continued from Page 1 It says some parts of the peninsula “are some of the most disadvantaged in the state”. Examples of this disadvantage are “around” 1000 15-19 year olds not attending school, training or having jobs; more than 500 job vacancies “in hospitality alone … while unemployment in disadvantaged areas is extremely high”; and 40-50 people “sleeping rough” on Rosebud foreshore. The committee says just half of Westernport Secondary College’s year seven students will complete year 12; youth unemployment in Tanti Park, Mornington is at 45 per cent; 45 per cent of Capel Sound residents did not complete year 10; and the Rosebud/Capel Sound “is top of the most dangerous callout places in the state for ambulances”. The committee also has a map showing the number of “poor children” living in section of the peninsula.
