No protest from ‘picket people’ IT was a case of many hands make colourful work at Rye Community House. Manager Kerryn Ladell said the members longed to brighten up the front of the house and put their thoughts into action last week. “We wanted people to see the fun we have inside reflected on the outside, and to bring a sense of colour,” she said. “Watercolours’ teacher Beatrice Manoukian drew up the concept and the Picket People, as we affectionately call them, were born.” Bunnings donated paints, brushes and fixings, and assistance was provided by volunteer Alyce Fogarty, who works there. Rye Grandpas Shed members and Watercolours students worked for months – even coming in for painting days during the school holidays. “Installation day coincided with last week’s R U OK? day and we felt that a sausage sizzle was a great way to get people together, enjoy the art and have a chat with each other,” Ms Ladell said. “It is our role as a community house to be inclusive, fun, offer friendship and support in any way people need it. Our activities bring people together.” The house’s watercolours’ students will hold an exhibition at Oakhill Gallery, Sunday 5 November. “We have a lot of talent here.” Details: Call the house on 5985 4462.

Sports centres go private Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FIVE Mornington Peninsula Shireowned sports and leisure centres will be managed from 29 October by a private company that man-ages more than 120 other centres across Australia.

Somerville Health & Fitness Studio, Crib Point Pool and Western Port Gymnastics at the Hastings Hub. Ratepayers will pay $5,720,290 to Belgravia Leisure over five years in management fees. The Bayswater-based leisure centre and golf course management company will also run All Access outreach programs for older adults in Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings, Somers, Blairgowrie and Somerville. The shire announced the “partner-

ship” with Belgravia Leisure last Thursday (14 September) and said all council staff at the five centres will be offered employment by the private company “with recognition of prior service and maintenance of existing terms and conditions of employment”. The deal to have Belgravia Leisure manage the centres was hailed as “a win-win-win” by the mayor Cr Bev Colomb. “This is a win-win-win: a win for cost-effective service delivery on be-

half of our community, a win for members and user groups and a win for staff,” Cr Colomb said in a statement. “Council will retain ownership and maintenance of the buildings and remains committed to ensuring sport, leisure and recreation services are available to our community. The mayor said it will be “business as usual” at the sports and lei-sure centres after Belgravia Leisure takes over. Council CEO Carl Cowie said the shire has signed a five-year manage-

ment deal with Belgravia Leisure. There is a “first extension option at council’s discretion” after two years and a second extension option after year four of the five-year arrangement. Mr Cowie said Belgravia Leisure can change the centres’ operating hours after the first 12 months of the five-year deal. Existing staff will receive existing pay and conditions but this may change for future employees. Continued Page 10
