with a common duration, to persuade the state government to unlock its $400m plus “treasure chest” landfill levy fund, to go to the market and get on with the application of this proven W2E technology. To be responsible for our household waste is to responsibly abandon our landfills in favour of W2E facilities and stop the drop into the ground. * Nepean ward councillor Hugh Fraser recently visited China as part of a study tour of W2E facilities with Mornington Peninsula Shire’s chief operating officer Niall McDonnagh and team leader waste Daniel Hinson, councillors and officers from the City of Greater Dandenong and the Metropolitan Waste Resource Recovery Group. Cr Fraser is the council’s delegate to the Metropolitan Waste Forum. This is an edited version of a talk he gave to a community waste forum held by the shire in October at Dromana.

Plea for respect and mateship EXAMS are over and six years of secondary college are completed, so now it’s time to unwind. Mornington Peninsula Shire is preparing to welcome scores of young people during Schoolies Week when they will relax on the beach, take in the sights and spend time with friends before moving on to the next chapter in their lives. To assist, the state-wide response Good Times, Great Breaks (GTGB) aims to ensure the young people celebrate respectfully and safely with minimal impact on the community. It will operate in the coastal shires of Mornington Peninsula, Surf Coast and Bass Coast and has the support of Red Frogs volunteers, DanceWize – Harm Minimisation Victoria drug and alcohol workers, and Victoria Police. All GTGB officials will be wearing ID with the GTGB logo clearly shown. They will be out and about 9pm-3am, Friday 24 November to Saturday 2 December. Life Saving Victoria volunteers will patrol Sorrento back beach 10am- 6pm, Monday 27 November to Friday 1 December. School leavers should register at goodtimesgreatbreaks.weebly.com and like it on Facebook and check in at @goodtimesgreatbreaksvictoria for updates. By registering they gain access to get-home-safe buses, Red Frog’s chill out safe zones, pancake breakfasts, free water and nightly barbecues. No foreshore camping is available for school leavers.
