Beach bin removal slammed
FRUSTRATED Edithvale residents have slammed Kingston Council’s decision to remove bins from the beach.
In August, Kingston Council announced it was moving bins along its beaches off of the sand and onto other locations along the foreshore. In a statement, it said the move would “keep our beautiful beaches clear of rubbish, particularly during the busy summer months.”
“The number of visitors to our
beaches increases each year, and the existing bin system is not designed to cope with this amount of waste,” the council statement read. “To reduce rubbish left on our beaches, we are moving our bins off the sand and placing them at key points along the foreshore, including pathways and car parks, where the community can easily access them, and the trucks can empty them more often. This will enable us to increase the number of bin collections in summer and keep up with the growing demand. More collections will prevent full and overflowing bins, reduce beach litter, and
improve the environment.”
Residents living near the beach say the change was sudden, and could negatively impact the environment.
Edithvale Collective president Kirralee Ashworth-Collett said “we’ve been inundated with feedback from locals who are struggling to understand how this is an improvement on the previous waste management approach, and who are deeply concerned that the beach and surrounding streets are going to be awash with rubbish this summer.”
“The biggest concern is the lack of community consultation about the
changes. There might very well be valid reasons for taking a different approach, but the community hasn’t been consulted in a meaningful way and that’s not good enough,” she said. “The best council decisions are informed by the knowledge and real world experience of the people directly affected by them, and this one seems to have fallen well short of that standard.”
The bin changes are part of Kingston Council’s “Bin it, or swim in it” campaign. Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns said the initiative “is all about everyone taking personal
responsibility for their waste, caring for our environment and ensuring our foreshore is a great place to be.”
“Unfortunately, last summer we were consistently seeing people even piling large items like gazebos, tents, and chairs next to the bins on the beaches – it was really sad to see,” she said. “We are very confident that the campaign and new arrangements will significantly reduce the impact of litter and greatly improve the beach experience for everyone.”
Kingston Council says that there are 216 bins along the foreshore for its residents to use.

Crimes at homes a concern
CRIME in Kingston has remained steady in the last year, but the number of crimes committed at homes has police worried.
Crime Statistics Agency data released last week shows that there were 11,855 total offences recorded in the Kingston municipality in the year ending June 2024, a 1.6 percent decrease on the year prior. However, the number of criminal incidents increased by more than 6 per cent to 9113.
The criminal offence rate in Kingston remains comfortably below the statewide average. The Kingston LGA bucked a statewide trend of increased crime rates.
In Kingston, houses are the most common locations for crime. Stealing from motor vehicle and other thefts are the most common offences. Cheltenham is the Kingston suburb with the highest number of crimes committed, followed by Moorabbin, Clayton
South, Mentone, and Mordialloc.
Crime in Frankston is on the up, increasing by nearly 20 percent in the 2023/2024 financial year. There were 16,252 offences recorded within the Frankston municipality in the year ending June 2024.
There were more than 2200 breaches of family violence orders in the Frankston LGA. It was comfortably the most recorded offence.
Statewide the number of offences recorded by Victoria Police in the year up to 30 June 2024 was 552,228. That figure is a 9.1 percent increase from the year prior.
In a statement, Victoria Police said it was especially concerned about increases in youth crime, crime at homes, and family violence.
Victoria Police acting deputy commissioner of regional operations Chris Gilbert said “we understand many in the community are anxious about the increasing prevalence of intruders
entering homes. Your home should be your castle, and this is why 70 additional frontline police, dog squad members, highway patrol officers, and the public order response team continue to swarm Melbourne’s suburbs every single night – specifically targeting burglars and car thieves as the air wing watches from above.
“Victoria’s four fastest growing crimes are all related to opportunistic offending - theft from motor vehicle, retail theft, motor vehicle theft, and the theft of other items such as petrol. Operation Trinity has made 1,550 arrests over the last year – an average of more than four burglars and thieves arrested across metropolitan Melbourne every day. Police continue to see far too many properties burgled and cars stolen due to unlocked doors and windows, so we urge the community to take simple measures such as checking your home and car is locked before heading to bed.”
Bonbeach drink driver arrested
A MAN has lost his license for a year after he was allegedly caught drinkdriving in Bonbeach.
At around 12.50am on Sunday, 29 September, Moorabbin Highway Patrol officers pulled over a driver on Nepean Highway. Police allege that
man underwent a roadside breath test and blew .191, nearly four times the legal limit.
The 31-year-old Dandenong man had his license suspended for 12 months and his car impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1100.
Superbly positioned in Melbourne’s desirable Bayside suburbs, Concierge Bayside in Hampton and The George in Sandringham offer a low-maintenance lifestyle with a variety of sought-after community facilities and activities, and local shops, transport and everyday amenities nearby.
With affordable 1 and 2 bedroom apartments now selling, 24/7 emergency call system, friendly team and the flexibility to pay for additional services such as meals and housekeeping as you need, the choice is yours to enjoy life your way.
Dental work wait drags on
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A MAN living with an intellectual disability has spent years waiting for a dental appointment, with no end in sight.
Allan* and his 47-year-old son first visited Frankston Hospital nearly five years ago to treat dental issues. They were referred to Carlton Dental Hospital, where their years of frustration began.
Allan says his son, who has a cavity and teeth pushing against each other, was told he faces a three-year wait from treatment.
“He was referred to Carlton Dental Hospital, where we waited two years for a response. Then we spent a day up there waiting for them, and they did a full exam with x-rays. The dentist said he needs work done fairly quickly, but he has special needs and needs to be anesthetised. At the special needs department they said it’s a three year wait for treatment,” he said. “Nine months later we got a letter from [Monash] Clayton Hospital for an appointment about his dental work. They spent half a day with him and said you’ll have to wait two years for treatment. 12 months later we got a letter from Dandenong Hospital that said it would be a two year wait as well.”
Allan’s son has still not received the treatment he needs. “He’s still waiting - he’s got a hole in the tooth, and some of his teeth are pushing,” Allan said. “He has an overbite and it impacts his eating.”
A $1.1 billion redevelopment of Frankston Hospital is well underway. Allan says that the exclusion of dental services from the redevelopment means
that people like his son will continue to fall through the cracks.
“When they did new extensions of Frankston Hospital, something like this wasn’t included,” he said. “We still have not got a response from the Health Department. My son has an intellectual disability - with his emotional and mental state, they need to have someone to handle that. The dental section can handle children but not adults. This system really needs to be looked at.”
The News asked the Victorian Department of Health why the hospital redevelopment excluded dental services. It did not answer the question, but said in a statement that it is working to reduce the dental waitlist.
“The most vulnerable Victorians and those requiring emergency care continue to have priority access to dental care, and we’re working closely with Dental Health Services Victoria to bring down the waitlist and grow the oral healthcare work-
force, particularly in regional areas,” the statement read. “We know waiting for public dental care can be a challenging and frustrating experience for patients, which is why the Victorian Government has invested $213.4 million for dental services, helping more than 332,000 eligible Victorians.”
To reduce the waitlist, Dental Health Services Victoria is working alongside regional public dental services to recruit oral health professionals. It is also working with the private sector on a voucher scheme.
Liberal MP Anne-Marie Hermans called out the state government over the situation in Parliament earlier this year. She said “this is an appalling situation where vulnerable people are forced to suffer for a basic need, and all the while Frankston Hospital’s inadequate development costs have nearly doubled.”

Airport among busiest
MOORABBIN Airport has retained its status as Australia’s busiest flight training airport.
The airport has been recognised as the busiest training airport in the country for two years running. The airport was the busiest in Victoria in the 2023/2024 financial year - it recorded 271,864 movements across all aircraft types, up from 237,410 total movements in 2022/2023.
Moorabbin Airport Corporation CEO Travis Brown said “the growth is testament to MAC’s aviation development strategy, which continues to return results year on year.”
“Our continued investment in aviation supports safe and industryleading general aviation activity. Guided by our safety framework, our focus strongly remains on growing safe and viable aviation activities and investing in quality
aviation infrastructure and training facilities,” he said. “We’re pleased to have strong working relationships with industry stakeholders, including CASA, Airservices Australia and our aviation customers from big to small. Our ongoing commitment to improve and expand our airport facilities ensures the airport will remain a leader in flight training in Australia.”

Liberals eye Dunkley
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
THE Liberals are expected to soon preselect a candidate to contest Dunkley at the next federal election.
The News understands that the party will choose its Dunkley candidate at a meeting at the Frankston Football Club next Tuesday, 15 October.
Nathan Conroy, the incumbent Frankston mayor and unsuccessful candidate in the March by-election, is expected to put his hand up to run again.
Former Carrum MP Donna Hope will also contest for the spot, The News understands.
Despite initially nominating for the upcoming Frankston Council elections, Nathan Conroy withdrew shortly before the cut-off date for nominations. His wife, Steffie Conroy, is now stand-
ing for election in the Lyrebird Ward. The next federal election is due to take place by May next year, but could be earlier.
A by-election was held to elect a new member for Dunkley in March after Peta Murphy’s death from breast cancer in December. Labor retained the seat - Jodie Belyea was elected the new Dunkley MP by a margin of 2.7 percent. There was a 3.57 percent swing towards the Liberals. Belyea is expected to run for Dunkley again.

PETS
Can my pet get hay fever?
by
AS pollen levels rise, it’s important to remember pets can suffer from allergies just like humans.
High pollen counts and other allergens can cause various reactions in animals, leading to discomfort and health complications if left untreated.
Common signs of allergies in pets include itchy skin, excessive licking, scratching, and hair loss. Other symptoms can involve weepy eyes, runny noses, and in cats, even asthma-like symptoms.
Certain dog breeds, such as Dalmatians, Golden Retrievers, West Highland White Terriers, and Labradors, are especially prone to developing allergies, making them more vulnerable during peak pollen seasons.
Managing pet allergies involves being proactive. Monitoring symptoms closely and seeking veterinary care early can prevent
minor allergic reactions from developing into serious conditions like anaphylaxis. In some cases, untreated allergies can lead to secondary infections or behavioural changes in pets. There are practical steps pet owners can take to help reduce the impact of allergens on their pets. For instance, reducing outdoor time during high pollen periods can limit exposure. Additionally, regularly wiping down a pet’s fur with a damp cloth can help remove allergens such as pollen that may have settled on their coat.
With high-to-extreme pollen levels over the coming months, it’s essential for pet owners to stay vigilant and prioritise their animals’ wellbeing. Regular care and timely action can make a significant difference in keeping pets healthy and comfortable during allergy season.
Pawsome reasons to register your pet!
All cats and dogs calling Kingston home need to be microchipped and registered with us from three months old. New or older animals moving into Kingston also need to be registered.
But, it’s not just a legal requirement - there are so many benefits to registering your pet!
Easier to find if they get lost
Having your details on file helps get them back home quickly!
Almost all registered lost pets in Kingston are reunited with their owners. By registering your pet, you’re making sure that if they ever go missing, it’ll be much easier for our local rangers to reunite you.
Supports important animal services
Your registration fee helps fund shelters, animal care, events like Pet Expo and programs that support responsible pet ownership.
Help create pet-friendly spaces
Pet registration information can be used to help plan for parks, dog off-leash spaces, walking trails, and other pet-friendly spots.
Healthier, safer animals
Kingston offers discounts for desexed pets, encouraging responsible breeding practices and reducing the number of stray animals.
How to register
Annual pet registrations are due in April. If your pet is over 3 months but not able to be desexed, then a letter from your vet is required to complete your registration.
Visit kingston.vic.gov.au/pets for more information and to register.

Happy Birthday Frankie!
ON October 13, McClelland celebrates the ‘birthday’ of their reflective gentle giant, Frankie. Officially titled Reflective Lullaby by Gregor Kregar, this captivating, monumental sculpture has been an enduring icon for the region.
The epic scale gnome came home last year after four years on exhibit as part of the contemporary sculpture installations along the Peninsula Link freeway.
A unique and award-winning commitment to public art between Southern Way and McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery called Southern Way McClelland Commissions, this ongoing program of iconic artworks has established the Mornington Peninsula as an internationally significant hub for public art and contemporary sculpture. The series alternates every two years between sites at Skye Road and Cranbourne Road along Peninsula Link, which will result in 12 commissions over a 25-year period to 2037.
Southern Way generously donates funding for the sculptures in giving back to the community of Frankston and Langwarrin. After four years on public display the commissions become part of McClelland’s permanent collection in its 16-hectare sculpture park.
In the Middle Ages, gnomes were considered mystical, philosophical creatures, guardians of the underground and possessors of special powers and knowledge. Kregar’s gnome is made from mirror polished stainless steel; his
unusually large-scale transforming in an ever-changing interactive experience in which the people and environment around him becomes part of a kaleidoscopic reflection on the surface of the work.
Knowing the special place Frankie holds in the hearts of much of the community, McClelland wanted to mark the year since his return.
Lisa Byne, Artistic & Executive Director shared; “Works like Reflective Lullaby help us promote education and the experience of sculpture within a unique natural environment. Frankie evokes curiosity, inquiry, and ultimately community connection – everyone has a special recollection of when they last saw him.”
McClelland will offer visitors free entry to the Sculpture Park and a range of fun free family friendly activities including an up-close experience with Australian native animals, reptiles and mammals from Funky Farm, a boutique zoo on the Mornington Peninsula. Educator
led art and craft activities will be available for the young and young at heart.
Free Sculpture Park tours led by knowledgeable and passionate volunteer guides will bring the history of the park to life. And a cake baking competition where the team are searching for the best home baked
birthday cake adds a fun twist to the day. McClelland has gathered three creative cake minds, excited to see what bakers will bring to the plate, including Louie Digby of Digby Cakes, Amy Minichiello from A Mini Kitchen and Noel Black – McClelland Head Chef. Frankie’s birthday will be the perfect occasion to announce the
winner on Saturday afternoon at a special ticketed presentation.

FRIDAY THE BATMAN
NINE, 8.40pm
THURSDAY GRAND DESIGNS AUSTRALIA
ABC TV, 8pm
There’s a playful mood and an excitable sense of anticipation as season 11 of this much-loved homebuilding series kicks off a new era. Original host Peter Madison has flown the coop, making way for Anthony Burke, who is a warm and familiar face after hosting Restoration Australia. In tonight’s premiere, Burke is not alone: legendary series creator Kevin McCloud joins him on a road trip to explore some of Australia’s most gorgeous and inspired designs.
Not so much a superhero blockbuster as it is a gritty crime saga, filmmaker Matt Reeves’ (Cloverfield, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) three-hour epic crafts a grim, noirish narrative world for a faithful iteration of the DC Comics vigilante. The Batman finds Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) just two years into his crime-fighting journey – a younger man than we’ve seen him before, he’s still set on vengeance, but in a brooding, hot-headed kind-of way.
SATURDAY GRANTCHESTER
ABC TV, 7.30pm
When taking over a vicarage in a quaint Cambridge village, the last thing Reverend Alphy Kotteram (Rishi Nair) expected was to be roped into solving crimes by the local inspector, Geordie (Robson Green). But as it turns out, murderous mysteries aren’t the most of his troubles – the South Asian, English-born vicar faces a long road when it comes to winning over the rather, shall we say, homogenous folks of Grantchester. Alphy’s tour of the township continues this week with a dinner at the estate of the wealthy Marwoods, where he hopes to raise funds for the church, but instead comes across a dead body. Reluctantly drawn into another investigation, Alphy’s intuition again saves the day.

Volunteers open new kitchen
SIKH Volunteers Australia has built a new kitchen at its Langwarrin home to help feed the hungry.
Members of Sikh Volunteers Australia have donated countless hours to helping those less fortunate. Last year they disturbed nearly 30,000 free meals from their vans.
A new kitchen has opened at the volunteer group’s Langwarrin headquarters. The state government paid $250,000 for the new kitchen, and the federal government put in $700,000. The state government has also spent $500,000 on new vans for
the group.
The kitchen was officially opened at an event last week. Victorian multicultural affairs minister Ingrid Stitt said “we are proud to have contributed to this new kitchen facility for Sikh Volunteers Australia which is a fantastic organisation that has such a positive impact for all of those they help.”
“Our investment will support Sikh Volunteers Australia to build on their incredible work distributing more than 28,000 meals last year –enabling more Victorian families to
access the support they need during times of crisis,” she said.
Hastings MP Paul Mercurio attended the opening - he said “many Victorians are doing it tough which makes investments like this so important. I’m pleased that we have been able to help Sikh Volunteers Australia provide even more food relief for people in local communities.”
Sikh Volunteers Australia has been providing meals to disadvantaged people for a decade. For more information on the group’s work visit sikhvolunteersaustralia.org

Mental health units open Call for bottle change
NINE new mental health residential units have opened at Frankston Hospital.
The $1 million refurbishment included upgrades to plumbing, electrical, roofing, and interior spaces. The nurse office, recreational room, and doctor’s office have also been upgraded.
Mental health treatment at Frankston Hospital has been in the spotlight this year. Earlier this year two families began the process of taking Peninsula Health to court, alleging that their loved ones did not receive appropriate psychiatric treatment at Frankston Hospital prior to their deaths by suicide (“Hospital sued over suicides” The Times 2/9/2024).
The redevelopment of the residential units was paid for by the state government. Victorian mental health minister Ingrid Stitt said “by modernising our public mental health and alcohol and other drug infrastructure, we’re making sure Victorians experiencing mental health and substance use challenges can receive care in modern, safe and comfortable environments.”
“Refurbished and upgraded community mental health units at Peninsula Health will ensure that locals can access the best possible residential facilities to support them on their recovery journey,” Stitt said.
Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “Frankston locals with mental health challenges deserve the best possible care, and this investment for Peninsula Health will deliver just that.”
CHANGES to the design of plastic bottles will help prevent litter at local beaches and waterways, environmentalists say.
Beach Patrol Australia says that plastic straws and drink bottle lids are among the most frequently littered items on Australian beaches. It says that caps tethered to plastic bottles would help prevent pollution.
BPA co-founder Dr Ross Headifen said “we collect hundreds of lids on our beaches every day. By mandating tethered caps, we can significantly reduce plastic pollution, avoiding millions of bottle tops from leaking into our environments.”
“Our volunteers simply can’t keep up, we need to stop plastic entering our oceans at the source. It is a simple fix with a big benefit,” he said.
The Boomerang Alliance is a national coalition of groups which hope to see plastic pollution greatly reduced. The charity’s packaging product stewardship lead Birte Moliere said “most drink bottles can now be collected for recycling at container refund collection points but bottle tops are not eligible items in most states. As a result, unattached caps that aren’t littered, often end up in landfill. They should be collected and recycled. The best way to make this happen is to tether the lids to the bottles.”
“The Boomerang Alliance is calling for new packaging laws that make producers responsible for managing their packaging, including their collection and recovery with mandatory reduction, recycling, recycled content and reuse targets,” Moliere said. “Beverage containers should only be allowed to be placed on the market if producers can guarantee the recovery of both the bottle and cap.”

Suction Ears microsuction
SUCTION Ears is operated by a small local team of audiologists who saw a need and demand for this niche service. Ear wax build up causes problems such as ear pain, tinnitus, imbalance, and possible hearing loss. Sufferers of ear perforations and ongoing ear infections cannot have water in their ears, and this is where Suction Ears provide a valuable service. Their accredited audiologists have working with children's checks and years of experience in the industry. Owner and founder of Suction Ears, Vicky Lim, has been an audiologist for 13 years. Vicky decided to specialise primarily in microsuction ear wax removal and will gradually add on other services along the way. “We don't use the traditional methods of irrigation (water-based and risky)” said Vicky. “The microsuction technique is vacuum-based, effective and considered the safest for ear cleaning”.
It’s recommended you do not use foreign object in your ears like cotton buds, toothpicks, pins or candling. “We definitely do not recommend anything smaller than your elbow in your ears,” said Vicky.
Many places charge a flat rate regardless of no wax, or if you have a pension card, child, etc. The great news is Suction Ears offers pension rates, senior card holders, other concession, student cards, and also see children from 5 years (as long as they can sit still). If no wax is found, you will just be charged a flat rate consultation fee. Follow-up visits will provide more savings. Suction Ears offer audiology consulting advice and those with private health with audiology as part of their extras may claim back a portion.
Suction Ears offer a convenient in home, workplace or child’s school visit and are available weekdays and Saturday. If you have ear wax problems, contact Suction Ears to remedy your situation.

Rain ruins opening round matches
By Brodie Cowburn
PROVINCIAL
THE MPCA season got off to a false start last Saturday, with most games washed out.
A handful of overs were played at Overport Park. Langwarrin scored 4/68 from 19 overs before their match against Baden Powell was called off. The Old Peninsula Pirates also got to spend some time at the crease. They scored 3/63 from 18 overs before their match against Heatherhill was abandoned.
The remaining games in the Provincial division were also washed out.
PENINSULA
RAIN stopped a nail-biting match between Seaford and Rosebud from reaching its conclusion last Saturday.
RF Miles Reserve hosted the two sides in the one-day season opener. Seaford chose to bat first, and put a strong total on the board.
Seaford skipper Matthew Herbert led from the front, scoring 52 runs before being dismissed. Aaron Bardwell and Jordan Desmond each contributed 38 runs to the total.
After 40 overs, Seaford finished up at 6/220.
Rosebud stumbled out of the gates. They lost two early wickets, and at 2/3 looked in serious trouble. The middle order got them back on track.
Liam Collett and Ashley Nagel each scored half-centuries. They helped their side reach 7/202 with six overs left to play.
With Samuel Jones looking strong, Rosebud looked poised to grab the win. Rain destroyed their plans, and brought an end to play.
The rest of the games in the Peninsula division were called off after only a few overs of play.
DISTRICT
BAD weather and light affected games in the District division last Saturday.
Carrum put 2/78 on the scoreboard against Carrum Downs from 21 overs of play. Rain eventually brought the game to a halt.
Boneo and Baxter were able to take to the field for an extended period before rain brought the game to a close. Baxter set their opponent a target of 159 runs to chase down.
Simon Dignan top-scored for Baxter with a score of 51.
Boneo were well on their way to
chasing down their target when they hit roadblocks. Two ducks in quick succession brought their momentum to a halt, and bad light killed the game. After 27 overs the game was called off.
SUB DISTRICT
MT Martha has scored a hard-fought win over Rye to get its 2024/2025 season up and running. Rye hosted the match at RJ Rowley Reserve. They sent Mt Martha in to bat first, and did well to restrict their total.
An unbeaten knock of 39 from 37 deliveries by Kyle Bendle was Mt Martha’s best. The away side scored 5/160 from 30 overs.
Rye got themselves into a good position, but a lack of time and a middle order collapse cost them badly.
After a shaky opening, Benjamin Ashworth and Adam Ciavarella put Rye back on track. Ashworth scored 63 from 51 and Ciavarella scored 29 from 65.
After Ashworth’s dismissal, Rye collapsed. They lost 6/28, and finished their 30 overs at 9/146. Rye lost by 15 runs.
Jaryd Millington was the pick of the bowlers - he posted figures of 3/36.
Bad weather prevented other games in the Sub District division from being completed.
WOMENS DIV ONE
NOTHING separated Crib Point and Rye at the end of their season opener last Sunday.
The Magpies chose to bat first on their home deck. Opener Tracy Thompson scored 28 runs, and Rhiannon Hewitt scored 24. The Magpies finished their 20 overs at 2/96.
Rye openers Ashleigh Barrand and Samantha Harris helped get their run chase off to a strong start. They scored 27 and 21 respectively.
After the openers were dismissed the middle order struggled to cross the finish line. Three successive run-outs proved to be a major blow.
Rye drew level with Crib Point, but couldn’t land the final punch. They also finished their 20 overs on 96 runs. Somerville picked up a comprehensive win over Carrum Downs on the road to get their season off to a good start on Sunday.
A 90-run stand between Marlee Black and Julie Ferns helped Somerville put 150 runs on the board. Carrum Downs worked hard to keep up, but could only score 99 runs from their 20 overs in response.
Tooradin had a good day last weekend, scoring a ten-wicket win away from home at Delacombe Park.
After their 20 overs, Delacombe Park had only managed to put 62 runs on the board. Tooradin chased down their target with 10 wickets to spare and 14 overs left to play.
Aimee Mellford did the damage, scoring an unbeaten 46. Her batting partner Cheyanne Cox played an important supporting role.
Paramedic preparing for fourth season refereeing the WNBL
ROSEBUD paramedic Bianca Vernon is no stranger to making decisions under pressure.
Outside of her paramedic work, she is an experienced basketball referee, calling plays for the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL).
She was nine years old when she first hit the basketball court and 17 when she first picked up the whistle. Back then, refereeing was simply a way to earn some pocket money to pay for her basketball games as a player.
But now, Bianca is gearing up for her fourth year as a WNBL referee and working towards a spot on the men’s court, on the National Basketball League (NBL) refereeing panel.
“Early on, I didn’t have any idea where it would take me,” Bianca said.
As a junior, Bianca was part of the Southern Peninsula Basketball Association, which in turn was part of Basketball Victoria Country.
“They gave me some great opportunities to referee the country championships tournaments, and that was where I started enjoying the higher level refereeing,” she said.
“I was awarded some gold medal games which I thought was cool and I started thinking I could take refereeing a bit further.
“I was able to be selected as a Victorian representative for the junior national champs and that started me working through the ranks to get to where I am today.”
In 2021, Bianca was selected to officiate her first WNBL game.
“It was an amazing milestone and something I didn’t expect at the
time,” she said.
Since then, she’s had the opportunity to take to the court in front of a record WNBL crowd, when 7,681 fans turned out for the league’s first ever fixture at John Cain Arena.
“Stepping out on the floor and hearing how loud it was, was an amazing experience and one I’ll remember for
Bianca refereeing in front of a record WNBL crowd. Picture: Supplied
and building rapport with people,” she said.
For Bianca, the highlight of refereeing is the friendships she’s made along the way – and that’s another similarity to her career at AV.
a long time,” Bianca said.
Bianca was well into her paramedic career by this point, having joined Ambulance Victoria (AV) in 2013.
She said it’s been a challenge balancing her paramedic roster with refereeing, but now she’s found what works.
“I’ve learnt and grown over the years and found a better balance, so my current roster arrangement supports both my refereeing and my family situation,” she said.
“It means I have more time to spend with my family and on the court doing the things I love.”
While the schedule was sometimes hard to balance, Bianca said the skills learned from refereeing and paramedicine have complemented each other.
“Both my refereeing and my paramedicine jobs link into each other and I’ve learnt a lot of skills that are interchangeable, a lot about communication and conflict management
“The friends you have with refereeing and the friends you have with paramedicine, they stick with you through anything,” she said.
“Some of my closest friends are from both lines of work.”
As she heads into her fourth season on the WNBL refereeing panel, Bianca has her eyes firmly set on one day landing an NBL game.
“For the last couple of years, I’ve been involved in the NBL’s elite referee development program so getting selected to referee an NBL game is my main goal at the moment,” she said.
“I’ve been reffing NBL1 since 2018 and recently refereed at the NBL1 National Finals on the Sunshine Coast.
“I also went to the Gold Coast last month to referee my first NBL preseason games, which was a great opportunity to showcase what I can do.
“Being selected for NBL would be an amazing achievement and to referee with some of the best in Australia would be an incredible opportunity.”

‘Jamo’ said no to Beaumaris
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
BEAUMARIS tried to prize Adam Jamieson from Mornington’s grasp just when he was weighing up his options for 2025.
“For the first time in a long time I had offers from other clubs and I did catch up with Beaumaris through a contact,” Jamieson said.
“But Mornington … well I just feel like we’re so close and there’s so much good stuff happening that I didn’t want to give up on our plan.”
Jamieson doesn’t try to mask the fact that Mornington has had “one of those debacle years”.
One of the pre-season promotion
favourites the Seagulls finished in the bottom half of State 1 with a squad that was vastly changed from the one that opened its campaign.
Injuries plagued Kostas Droutsas, David Stirton, Sam Scott and Shaun Kenny while Ziggy Razuki went overseas and missed the entire season.
Rory Currie returned to Scotland, Satoshi Kurosawa returned to Japan and Sam Orritt and Josh Heaton quit.
“It became clear that we weren’t all singing from the same hymn book as they say and it didn’t help losing (president) Matty Cameron,” Jamieson added.
“Taking that all into account we just had to survive and move on.”
Yet there are reasons to be optimistic about the future.
The young reserves squad finished fifth and a group of teenagers gained valuable game time in the seniors.
“Max Civil played around 90 minutes in the last three games and scored two goals, Aaron Hagland played a full game at centre half before injuring himself against Brandon Park.
“He was earmarked to play every remaining game and he’s a serious talent, Coby Wylde is another that got minutes, Will Giddings … we feel that we’ve got a group of young players coming through.
“Flynn O’Reilly played the last seven or eight games for us and was a fantastic influence so there’s a lot to look forward to.”
Continuity has been a hallmark of coaching at Mornington with Jamieson in charge for most of the past 16 seasons and he readily admits to being addicted to that role.
“Yes, well and truly.
“I think I’ve said to you before that I’ve got an ego that wants to win all the time.
“I said at the presentation night my
wife hates me when we lose because I’m a grumpy shit till the next game comes around.”
There have been few periods of self-doubt during Jamieson’s tenure at Dallas Brooks Park and he thinks he knows why.
“It’s that ego again mate.
“I think I’m good at what I do.
“Okay you have some doubts when you’re not winning games of football and why and how that needs to change but that’s a normal part of coaching.”
Jamieson already is preparing for next season and last season’s performance is quickly fading from view.
Conversations with new players have taken place
“I’ve started talking to new players but I can’t give you names right now.
“I’ve signed a very, very talented player from the NPL.
“I’m hoping to get a young centre half from Bentleigh Greens over the line soon and an experienced NPL midfielder.
“There’s also a young central midfielder from an NPL club that I’ve spoken to.
“What I can tell you is that two of these are ex-Mornington juniors.”

likely that Danny Topping will be Jamieson’s new assistant while David Waring remains as senior team manager.
“I’ve had a meeting with Danny and I’m pretty close to finalising an agreement.
“I’m trying to get the senior assistant signed off on first then I’ll work through the reserves coach, goalkeeping coach, strength and conditioning and the physios.”
Jamieson has taken a short break recovering from the rigours of work and coaching and returns from Bali late this week.
That’s when he’ll start letting his players know whether or not they have been retained.
“I can’t say anything at this stage but I’ll keep the players I want to keep and those conversations will take place when I’m back in Melbourne.”
One player Jamieson won’t need to make a call on is midfielder Danny Brooks who returned to former club Peninsula Strikers last week.
That was despite the pair talking last Wednesday night less than 48 hours before Strikers officially announced Brooks’ capture.
Strikers first spoke to Brooks a few
weeks earlier and head coach Scott Morrison sees him as an important addition to the senior squad.
“He’s a former captain of our club so it’s great to see him come home,” Morrison said.
“He’s experienced, tough as nails and a good footballer so he will add some real quality to the squad.
“Personality-wise he’s an excellent replacement for Macca (Andy McIntyre).”
Strikers also have signed Sam Maggs, a 21 year old pacy attacker who can play anywhere across the front third and can also play as a fullback.
He had been at VPL2 club Doveton for three years and spent the second half of this year at Berwick City.
At Strikers’ State 2 rival Skye United the changing of the guard officially takes place next Monday at the club’s AGM.
Daren Jones and Stuart Lawrence have stepped down from their respective positions as president and vice-president ending a decade-long period leading the club.
Nominations for all executive and general committee positions closed yesterday (Monday) amid conjecture over who will fill the void left by the
departure of the long-serving administrators.
Lawrence scoffed at recent rumours of unrest fuelled by the failure to mention his and Jones’ departure on the club’s Facebook page.
“It’s really quite simple – Daren didn’t want the fuss,” Lawrence said.
“When I resigned as vice-president I continued as treasurer but I’ll no longer be on the committee after the AGM.
“I want to concentrate on coaching the senior women.
“I haven’t been able to give as much time to the role that it deserves and to be honest I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.
“I’ve just had enough and I honestly feel that the current committee is more than capable and has enough people – both male and female – to carry the club on.”
One of the names that has emerged as a likely candidate for one of the top two positions is that of Karen Gray, who is the club’s MiniRoos coordinator and oversees player registrations.
Gray joined Skye in 2019 and has been on the committee since 2021.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s a really big player in all of this if you want to use that term,” Lawrence said.
“She’s a really good operator and really cares about the club.
“She’s transformed the MiniRoos in terms of organisation and it makes sense if she wanted to step up and join the executive committee.”
Gray was non-committal when asked if she planned to become Skye’s first female president.
“I’m not 100 percent sure,” she said.
“I believe that someone has put their hand up for the president’s job and it’s a person I could work with, very much so.”
