Recipients of the 2019 Heritage Awards
Calls for heritage champ nominations NOMINATIONS are being sought for the Mornington Peninsula Shire and National Trust 2021 Heritage Awards. The shire and the trust’s Mornington Peninsula branch are behind the awards which recognise projects and people who have demonstrated excellence in preservation, restoration and reuse of heritage places on the peninsula. While the word heritage conjures images of built forms, the scope of the awards goes further to cover landscape, cemeteries, wetlands, interpretive signage, and people who have contributed to the longevity of heritage. Heritage includes public and private places, buildings, gardens and objects, which organisers say are an important part of our culture and environment. “This is an opportunity to celebrate some of the exceptional places and people on the peninsula and I encourage the community to apply,” the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said.
“Community members using their skills and ingenuity to restore and maintain heritage places deserve to have their work recognised. “These awards serve to highlight and inspire our community to celebrate the unique heritage of the Mornington Peninsula.” National Trust, Mornington Peninsula branch president, Judy Walsh said: “These annual awards present an opportunity to acknowledge individuals, groups and practitioners who have demonstrated expertise in restoration or creative reuse of built and environmental forms of heritage and excellence in interpretive signage. “Heritage in its various forms is a cultural asset of the peninsula and these awards are a contribution to preserving places of significance for the future.” Categories include: Restoration of a heritage place: best practice heritage restoration work in built form, landscape, wetlands, cemeteries, monuments or

CHANGES to state electoral boundaries see Labor as having a small winning margin in two of the Mornington Peninsula’s three seats. However, both major parties have reduced margins in seats they already hold on the peninsula. Hastings, held by Liberal Neale Burgess since 2006, has swung 1.5 per cent to Labor, changing Mr Burgess’s 1.1 per cent winning margin to a 0.4 per cent loss in Labor’s favour. Labor, which gained a foothold on the normally solid Liberal peninsula with the election in 2019 of Chris Brayne in Nepean, sees his margin clipped from 0.9 per cent to 0.6 per cent. Mornington, held by Liberal David Morris since November 2006, remains unchanged at 5 per cent. In Neighbouring Frankston, Labor’s Paul Edbrooke sees his margin increase from 9.7 per cent to 10.2 per cent. Keith Platt
