All spaces filled for for traffic forum A FORUM held at Rosebud last week to discuss traffic noise and its effect on residents living near the Mornington Peninsula Freeway “went very well”. Organiser Wayne Ashley said there was a “full house” at the Rosebud Country Club, Wednesday 30 May. “We had a very good question time and a lot of ideas and issues to pursue,” Mr Ashley said. “Letters have been sent to the state health minister identifying the ongoing health issues emanating from increased traffic, pollution and noise causing health issues, anxiety, depression and dementia.” Mr Ashley said residents of Dromana, Rosebud, McCrae and Safety Beach “have had enough of traffic noise”.
“VicRoads needs to address the issue of traffic noise for the whole of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and not adopt a piecemeal approach,” he said. VicRoads noise measurements were just below what are considered to now be antiquated regulatory guidelines governing traffic noise near residential dwellings, he said. “Enough is enough and it is time for action and to start protesting to the state government and VicRoads.” Those attending included Nepean MP Martin Dixon, Nepean endorsed Liberal candidate Russell Joseph, Nepean endorsed Greens’ candidate Paul Saunders, and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Cr Antonella Celi.
The week to get active GROUPS and organisations have been invited to put on events to promote the health of men and boys during Men’s Health Week, 11- 17 June. This year’s theme is Men and families: making healthy connections. The aim is to explore the different ways families can support the health and wellbeing of men and boys, and the positive contributions men and boys make to their families. Mornington Peninsula Shire is inviting men who live, work or play on the peninsula to come together for a special Men’s Health Fest at Civic Reserve, Mornington, 10am-1pm, Friday 15 June. The guest speaker is Craig Harper, a men’s health advocate, exercise scientist, university lecturer, AFL conditioning coach, radio host, TV presenter, writer and business owner. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the event was an opportunity for men to take part in sports
activities, meet local service providers and share lunch while “having a yarn”. “The health of our community is a high priority for council and this event is a great opportunity to get active and involved in your community,” he said. Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Committee, Seawinds Ward’s Cr Antonella Celi, said the day was about bringing men together to share in an active and inclusive program. It aimed to encourage optimal standards of health and wellbeing and strengthen community connections and support. The Civic Reserve Recreation Centre is at 350 Dunns Road, Mornington.
