Council offers $2m for COVID-19 relief Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has adopted a $2 million COVID-19 grant scheme as part of its $10 million recovery package adopted earlier this year. The offer of money aims to ease the pain of more than 200 days of lockdown resulting in ongoing financial stress and impacts on wellbeing.  The direct payments will be available from next month to eligible businesses, community groups, creatives (individuals and organisations), not for profits and environmental groups. “Council is seriously committed to helping

In last week’s newspaper, an actor portraying Thomas Ritchie was advertised to appear at Ritchies Dromana on Friday 24th September, 2pm - 5pm. Due to the current COVID restrictions, this appearance has been cancelled.

“Local economy booster” vouchers are also available. They aim to increase visits and spending at peninsula venues though a reimbursement program for accommodation and attractions in the off-peak season. They are available to peninsula residents aged over 18 and can be used for paid tours and tourism “experiences”, entry fees to attractions and eligible paid accommodation. The shire also has a $100,000 program to support sports and recreation clubs over summer and winter. The shire’s Funding Finder website gives an overview of funding and grants available from state and federal governments, philanthropic organisations as well as the shire.

our community recover from COVID-19,” the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said. “These grants are just one of the many things we are doing to make a real difference. Information sessions and assistance will be provided to ensure everyone is well supported throughout the application process. “We have expanded some current programs, created new programs and also extended eligibility criteria to ensure great community impact. We have also tightened our internal processing times so we can deliver grants quickly as we work towards a recovered and revitalised peninsula.” The grants’ opening and closing dates are listed on the shire’s website.

Mangrove storage site for ‘blue carbon’ THE CSIRO and BHP are measuring and quantifying the net emissions reduction potential of Australia’s mangroves, seagrasses and tidal marshes. The $3.3 million 30-month program will also quantify the value of other benefits these ecosystems provide for coastal protection, fisheries and biodiversity. Mangroves, seagrasses and tidal marshes, also known as “blue carbon” ecosystems, lock up carbon at faster rates than most land ecosystems. CSIRO research scientist and project coleader Dr Andy Steven said the conservation and restoration of blue carbon ecosystems could deliver substantial emissions reductions, while also delivering other important benefits to the environment and local communities. “Along with their ability to absorb high amounts of carbon dioxide, blue carbon ecosystems can reduce the impact from waves and storm surges and provide important habitat for many species of plants and animals, including DECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ........................... $3.25mt T/Pine 90x22 KD ACQ ........................... $4.25mt Merbau 70x19 Random ........................ $5.25mt Merbau 90x19 Random ........................ $6.50mt Merbau 140x22 Random .................... $13.25mt Spotted Gum 86x19 .............................. $8.95mt Spotted Gum 135x19........................... $15.95mt

MANGROVES and seagrasses in Western Port - as well as providing a safe, shallow but temporary mooring to the submarine Otama - are regarded as being a “blue carbon” ecosystem. Earlier this month the Westernport Oberon Association was given 28 days to find a new home for the submarine.
