Training the (dog) trainers
DOG owners will have fewer excuses for not being able to understand the rules about exercising dogs in public places under a four-year policy adopted by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.
The new policy includes making signs consistent about where and when dogs can be taken for exercise on and off the leash.
The staged implementation of the revised policy will enable council officers to enforce the dog laws in areas which have no signs, incorrect signs or “gazettal issues”. Enforcing uniform dog controls
across the municipality will also “bring in additional infringement revenue to council”, according to a report prepared by community strengthening director Tanya Scicluna and community safety strategic projects coordinator Ann-Marie Richardson.
Scicluna told councillors at their Tuesday 25 June meeting that 239 infringement notices and 155 cautions for dogs at large had been issued in 2023.
Council has allocated $250,000 towards implementing the revised dog policy.
Debate at the public meeting also invoked the names of several councillor-owned dogs and some tales about
personal experiences when exercising their pets.
Cr Kate Roper (“there are no winners in this one — you are either a dog lover or not”) said there was a need for “some sort of control” in areas where dogs were allowed offleash.
“We do have conflicts and I’ve heard terrible stories and seen some things on social media that aren’t good,” she said.
“People want to be safe when they take their dogs to off-leash areas and beach users want to be safe when they take their families to the beach.
“I know some of the beaches are breeding grounds for some of our endangered wildlife and there are
irresponsible dog owners.” Roper, a former dog trainer, knew that some owners “don’t take the time to train their dog, even to a basic level to make sure it’s not infringing on other peoples’ enjoyment of these spaces, these shared spaces”.
Dogs needed to be mentally stimulated and off-leash areas were important “so that they can get out and about and learn to socialise properly, both with other dogs and people that they meet on their walks”.
“I’d be happy with more enforcement … there are too many incidents where people, irresponsible owners, just walk away from sometimes really terrible incidents.
“I hope we get some patrols stepped
up, especially in those sensitive areas where wildlife have been attacked and killed.”
Dogs are prohibited in some areas to protect wildlife including the threatened hooded plover, migratory shorebirds, marsupials including the white-footed dunnart and the longnosed bandicoot, and reptiles such as the blue-tongued lizard.
Cr David Gill said a 2021 survey (“the latest available figures”) saw the peninsula as the municipality recording the highest number of dog attacks.
He said the figure was probably higher than the reported 239.
“People don’t usually report rushes and things, which are still serious.”

Liberals push for ‘nuclear debate’
Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au
FLINDERS MP Zoe McKenzie wants voters to “please consider” Australia’s use of nuclear power.
In support of the Liberal Party’s federal opposition leader Peter Dutton, McKenzie says cheaper, cleaner and consistent electricity “involves the exploration of nuclear energy in Australia … the most uranium rich country on the planet”.
McKenzie aired her views on nuclear energy on her Facebook page and Sky News, but did not respond when asked by The News to respond to comments by Labor MP for South East Victoria, Tom McIntosh.
He said Dutton and McKenzie “must come clean” and provide the cost of nuclear reactors, the cost of storing nuclear waste, insurance and effects on land values.
McIntosh said Dutton had “announced a nuclear power plant for Victoria, again with no detail about costs or answers to key questions”.
CSIRO and Australian Energy Market Operator had put the cost of a single nuclear plant as high as $16 billion.
“How big an exclusion zone would be implemented in the event of an accident and how will they compensate communities?”
McIntosh said hundreds of signatures had been added to his No Nuclear Reactors in our Communities petition (his website showed 482 on Sunday 14 July).
“One in four Victorian homes have installed solar on their roof
and wholesale prices in our state are amongst the cheapest in the country,” he said.
“Renewables are the cheapest form of electricity generation, nearly 40 per cent of electricity in Victoria’s grid is renewable and by 2035 it will be 95 per cent.”
McKenzie told Sky News that shortly after being elected in 2022 she went to the COP27 United Nations climate change conference in Egypt and was told by politicians from other countries that their baseload power was provided by nuclear and backed up by gas.
McKenzie has told Sky News that Dutton’s advocacy for nuclear power showed “enormous courage, conviction and a good vision for this country”.
She has made no mention about where a nuclear power station could be located in Victoria.
In 1967, the then Liberal Premier of Victoria Sir Henry Bolte called on the State Electricity Commission to plan for a nuclear power station on a 162 hectare site on French Island, in Western Port.
The plan was later abandoned and in 1982 the then Labor government led by John Cain legislated to ban the building of nuclear power plants in the state.
McIntosh says there is no federal regulatory framework for approving nuclear power plants in Australia, no nuclear waste storage sites in Australia and “the state Liberal and National parties are divided on whether to repeal nuclear prohibition to enable nuclear power in Victoria”.

Making space for bandicoots
THE life, times and environmental benefits of bandicoots will be explained at the next meeting of the Red Hill South Landcare Group. Eilish Roberts, southern brown bandicoot outreach officer at Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens, works to help protect this once widespread marsupial and support local
communities in creating bandicootfriendly suburbs.
When digging and scratching while foraging for food bandicoots make “beds” for seeds to germinate and help break down organic matter in which other organisms can live.
The public is invited to attend the bandicoot talk which will precede
the Landcare group’s annual general meeting, starting at 2pm on Saturday 20 July at St Georges Church Hall, Arthurs Seat Road, Red Hill (opposite Red Hill Recreation Reserve). RSVP by Thursday 18 July to the group’s secretary Geoff White at redhillsouthlg@gmail.com or call 0400 989 150.

Music fills the hall and hearts
Liz Bell
liz@mpnews.com.au
EVERY fortnight at the Moorooduc Hall, the sounds of what could be mistaken for a large family celebration backed by live music ring from the quaint, red brick walls and fill the country air with happiness.
These folk of all ages and backgrounds may not be related by blood, but they do share a bond over music and the restorative social, mental and health benefits it brings them.
Although the Seaside Community Orchestra is still in its fledgling stage, after being founded by Mount Martha music lover Becca Smith and her daughter Jemima, 20, last October, the cohesion and energy of practise sessions is immediately obvious.
Octogenarian and Red Hill oboe player Elspeth Noxon beams with contentment as she explains how much she loves playing music again after a long break, as well as the opportunity to rediscover and build on her musical skills in an inclusive environment.
“I can’t tell you how much I love being part of the orchestra! Everyone is friendly, some are great players, others are beginners, but we are all here for the same reasons, to play music with other like minded friends,” she said.
Kim Maas is a mum of two children who drives all the way from Nyora every second Tuesday to join the orchestra’s practise sessions.
“There really is nothing like it anywhere on this side of Melbourne. It’s great to build musical confidence and a social network. I don’t even think twice about the drive because I love coming,” she said.
Smith, who by day works as a school archivist, said she and Jemima, who is studying a Bachelor of Music/Science, started the orchestra because they knew there was a need for people with some background in music to have an outlet based on fun, musical advancement and friendship.
“But I really had no idea how much people would embrace this orchestra. It’s such a lovely group and we are so lucky to have Terry Ekin, a clarinettist from Frankston Symphony Orchestra, joining us every fortnight as our conductor,” she said.
“Terry is so lovely and patient. This is something people can definitely do for fun and relaxation.”
Smith said the orchestra, which plans to play two concerts each year, currently consisted of around 20 players of mainly woodwind instruments, as well as violin, percussion, double bass and cello, but had room for newcomers with other musical skills.
“We play mainly classical, like Beethoven, Vivaldi and Sibelius at the moment, and the difference between when we started – we were awful – to now is incredible... and every one of the players should be proud of that.”
Seaside Community Orchestra is holding a new members night on 6 August at the Moorooduc Hall at 675 Derril Road, and all players are welcome. Smith said players should preferably read music, but learners are also welcome.

Players back on court after revamp
COURTS at Mount Martha Tennis Club have been revamped with money from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, the state government and the club.
Eastern Victoria MP Tom McIntosh said cracks in the courts’ base foundations had forced the club’s more than 500 players to practice on “uneven and unsafe surfaces that were unable to withstand weather extremes”.
The surfaces now met Tennis Australia competition standards.
McIntosh said the court upgrades included LED lighting and new fencing.
The shire contributed more than $1 million, the state $300,000 and the tennis club $80,000.
“We’re so rapt we can get back on site,” said club president Ken Davis.
“We’re using the courts all the time with 16 teams playing on a Saturday morning, and another
60 kids play on a Sunday.”
“This is a very busy club and having these courts back in this state — which is just state of the art for us — we’re over the moon, and we’re really grateful for the state government and the shire for helping us through that.”
McIntosh said the upgrades promised to be a game-changer for the tennis club, with the improved courts offering more time for training and matches and more opportunities for the club to expand its programs “and get locals in on the fun”.
“The Mount Martha Tennis Club can look forward to playing on better surfaces throughout the year, with poor weather presenting less of a barrier for training and matches.”
The club also has a new online system for booking courts throughout the week, allowing greater community access.

Walkers unite for cause
ORGANISERS of the ‘Peninsula Peace Walk for Palestine’ in Mornington last Sunday week (7 July) say the event turnout showed strong support for an end to the war in Gaza.
One of the main organisers, Stefan Raabe, said the idea of the walk was to create access for people on the Mornington Peninsula who want to be involved in peaceful protest against the genocide and “apartheid”.
“We planned the walk to coincide with the action that takes place each Sunday outside the State Library. Not everyone can travel into the city every weekend,” he said.
More than 30 people joined the walk in Main Street, Mornington.
Peninsula resident Sarah Russell,
who is the chair of Progressives of the Peninsula, said organisers knew there would be support. “However, we were surprised by the large number of people who turned out.”
Resident, women’s right campaigner and peace walker Marg D’Arcy said organisers brought the walk together in less than three weeks after “a one-hour meeting with Stefan, Sarah and myself and six people in a WhatsApp chat group,” she said.
“We all got behind an issue that we cared about and made the walk happen.”
The walkers say they oppose the war in Gaza and “the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, the mass killing of women and children, journalists,
healthcare and aid workers”.
Rosebud resident and member of the Mornington Peninsula Human Rights Group, Julie Pittle, decided to attend the walk to support human rights.
“Breaches of human rights and war crimes are occurring not only in Gaza but all around the world. The situation in Gaza is a particularly egregious situation.”
“The rights of people all around the world are intertwined. A breach in Gaza undermines our human rights here.”
Raabe said a longer walk to match the 40-kilometre distance from the north and south of Gaza may be planned for later in the year.

Sad ending for koala
DOG owners are again being reminded to keep their pets on leads when walking through parks and reserves on the Mornington Peninsula after a koala died last week (10 July) from dog bite wounds.
The koala was found on Park Road, Mount Martha, days earlier with badly infected wounds that were diagnosed as dog bites.
A passer-by who saw the marsupial on the ground, bleeding and stressed, took it to Tyabb koala carer Jennie Bryant.
Bryant, who said the koala survived for a few days before succumbing to its wounds on Wednesday evening,
said the incident was a sad reminder to dog owners that koalas live on the peninsula and dogs should be on leads.
Under Mornington Peninsula Shire Council bylaws dogs must always be under the effective control of a chain, cord or leash while in a public place except in a designated leash-free area. Dogs are not permitted in dog prohibited areas, whether on a leash or not.
The death adds to the shocking loss of koalas on peninsula roads, with more than 32 already killed since September 2023.

Campaign to ease ‘alarming homelessness’
Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au
THE Southern Women’s Action Network (SWAN) is campaigning to ease “the alarming rates of homelessness on the Mornington Peninsula, especially among women”.
Letters are being sent and face to face meetings held with MPs and Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors urging them to do more to help the homeless.
Former shire mayor, MP and now SWAN member Judith Couacaud Graley said more money was needed for community support services and social housing on the peninsula.
Responses from councillors and MPs to the letter writing campaign were being collated as well as “note being taken of those representatives who have not seen fit to respond”.
“The disparity of views and the variety in the quality of the responses from councillors indicated that the council has considerable work to do if it is to be successful in its efforts to address the housing crisis,” Graley said.
“Only a few councillors mentioned a commitment to achieving zero homelessness on the peninsula, but seven of the them mentioned the need for more state government funding.”
SWAN’s Women for Housing Justice group last week met with Upper House MP for Eastern Victoria Tom McIntosh to discuss the need for more state government money for “overstretched community support centres” which regularly reported increasing numbers
of people looking for somewhere to sleep and food for their families.
Member of the housing justice group
Susan Hillman-Stolz said the state government should know “in no uncertain terms” about the urgent need to help “overstretched local community support centres”.
“The lack of safe and affordable housing on the peninsula makes it so much harder for women and families seeking accomodation,” she said.
“We impressed on Mr McIntosh that we find it totally unacceptable that women are being forced to live in a tent on the Rosebud foreshore while public housing is sitting empty due to
a failure to repair.”
The group said local service groups were willing to help repair and refurbish the many empty, uninhabitable houses on the peninsula and that the work could be part of a pilot program paid for by the state government.
“It was also stressed that the people on the peninsula want our fair share of the record funding at both state and federal levels for new housing,” Graley said.
SWAN facilitator Diane McDonald said “government inaction” had made the peninsula’s housing and homelessness crisis worse. “What we want them to do is to stop the finger pointing and
work together to get women off the foreshore and into safe housing,” she said.
“It’s time for our elected representatives to agree on a path forward where they all contribute to a solution. They’ve been slow out of the blocks.
“The homelessness problem is getting worse every week so they need to all get together, stop passing the buck, and do something.”
McDonald said housing workers feared they would one day find someone dead on the foreshore: “Urgent action can’t happen fast enough.”
The state government should “seriously consider” paying to replace The
Ranch, the peninsula’s sole crisis accommodation centre.
“We already need more accommodation to cope with the increasing numbers of women and children, especially [those] finding themselves homeless. New crisis accomodation is urgent.”
SWAN’s social media consultant Bec Cridland said she had “seen firsthand the situation women are facing living rough on the peninsula”.
“I really hope that our elected representatives stop blaming each other and start solving the problem. We need urgent funding and works to put a roof over these vulnerable women and their families.
“It’s a basic human right to have shelter. Governments at all levels should know this — the crisis should never have got this bad in our local community.
“I think the people of the peninsula want all our fellow community members to have a place to call home.” n Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander support worker Jillian West will be guest speaker at Southern Women’s Action Network’s next meeting this Sunday, 21 July. The meeting starts at 9.30am at Mount Martha House. Snacks provided. Donation at the door. Details: swanwomen.org.au

Dog disappearance a puzzle
MISSING dogs are not an unusual occurrence on the Mornington Peninsula, as any look at local social media attests to. But some pull at the heart strings more than others.
The case of lost dog Fifi has another layer of sadness, with the pooches’ owner Nicole Kenyon finding out about the dog’s escape on 14 June, when she was stuck in hospital for several weeks and helplessly unable to do anything.
Kenyon had placed her beloved Maltese x Shitzu dog in the hands of a dog minder, but as often happens when dogs miss their human, the 11-year-old pet escaped an open door of a house in Alathea Court, Rye, and has not been sighted since.
“It’s really unusual, she’s not that kind of dog, but nobody has seen her, nobody has heard her. I can’t understand it,” Kenyon said.
“She was staying at a house nine kilometres from her home in Point Nepean Road, Capel Sound, so maybe she tried to get back, but it’s
Teens charged over assaults
THREE teenagers have been charged over an alleged carjacking in Langwarrin which left a man with serious injuries.
Police allege that three people assaulted a person and stole a car from a house on Romsey Place in Langwarrin at around 1.45pm on 11 July. The 33-year-old victim was allegedly run over by the car, and was taken to hospital to treat serious injuries.
The stolen car was allegedly dumped on Paddington Road in Oakleigh. The alleged offenders then broke into a home on Carlisle Crescent, assaulted its elderly occupants, and ransacked the house. A man and woman in their 80s both sustained minor injuries.
Police arrested the three teenagers at the house. They charged a 17-year-old Reservoir boy and 17-year-old Langwarrin boy with aggravated home invasion and aggravated carjacking. A 17-year-old Oakleigh boy was charged with aggravated home invasion and aggravated carjacking, and was taken to hospital under police guard.
The Reservoir and Langwarrin boys were scheduled to face a children’s court.
Police have asked anyone with information or footage of the alleged crimes to to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Teenager missing
A SEARCH is underway for a missing teeanger last seen on Young Street in Frankston. Eighteen-year-old Jaxon was last spotted on
weird that she hadn’t been sighted at all. I have alerted the pound, the shelters, still nothing.” Kenyon said she was “hopeful” that her dog would turn up or be handed back by someone who may have found her.
Fifi is microchipped but was not wearing a collar when she disappeared.
“She is a lovely dog, I can imagine someone maybe finding her and wanting to look after her because she is so sweet,” Kenyon said.
“But this is heart breaking for me, I have had her since she was small and she is my life. I have no children and I miss her so badly.” Kenyon said her only hope was she had been picked up by someone that was looking after her well, unaware she already had a loving home.
“It’s so awful to think she may be scared, so I keep myself going my thinking that whoever has her is looking after her and she will be okay.” Anyone who has information about Fifi should contact Kenyon at nicolamkenyon@icloud.com
Anyone with information about his whereabouts can contact Frankston Police Station on 9784 5555 to assist.
Law firm investigated
TWO people have been charged for allegedly tenderings false documents at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court.
On 5 July, Victoria Police announced it was investigating a law firm. It alleges that a “false document was tendered” to Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 26 September last year.
Police have arrested and charged two people over the allegations - one on 19 December last year and another on 25 June this year. A 34-yearold Abbottsford woman and a 25-year-old Lalor woman have both been charged with pervert the course of justice, attempt to pervert the course of justice, and use a false document.

New dog policy off the leash
Continued from Page 1
Gill said many of the peninsula’s eight million annual visitors brought their dogs.
“We obviously have a problem, especially at our beaches, public parks and so on, but we can’t really control dogs in that sense, there’s just too many,” he said.
“So, we resort to an education system without as many [dog owners] being fined.
“If it’s a dog attack reported on an isolated beach our officers are not going to get there in time.”
Cr Susan Bissinger predicted many of the shire’s designated leash-free areas would be closed because they did not meet the new criteria for fencing and wildlife safety.
“Knowing the state of a lot of leashfree parks are in, they’re usually the last of the dirt that nobody wants, so it’s very hard to see that there will be any leash-free areas that will survive this scrutiny,” she said.
Bissinger said most peninsula residents had dogs and suggested a “good two million” of the eight million visitors brought their dogs.
“We’ve got a lot of pressure on our very, very limited leash-free areas and to see them just dwindle in front of our eyes because the council hasn’t been able to keep them up to scratch or they don’t meet with the new policy, whereas they were meeting with the old policy, this is where there is a huge issue,” she said.
“This is a dystopian future for our dogs.”
Bissinger said other municipalities promoted dog parks “because they realise the health and mental wellbeing that comes from having a dog and comes from seeing dogs running leash-free and enjoying themselves”.
“We’re confining our dogs to forever walking besides someone and I think that’s just sad.”
Cr Sarah Race owns a dog “who likes to go to the parks to see his mates (Sasha, Mishka, Tata, Lola,
Gus and Gary) every day”.
“They love scrambling around in the bushes, they love chasing each other, they love biting each other’s ears and sniffing each other’s bottoms,” she said.
“I can’t see our leash-free areas being closed down.”
Cr Despi O’Connor’s dog Harley was scared of other dogs and “doesn’t particularly like them sniffing his butt or biting his ears because he was a victim of an
attack, which I didn’t report back in the day”.
“It really is a hard thing to deal with. It’s terrifying, I still have PTSD from it. You don’t get over those things when see that happen to something that you love,” she said.
O’Connor said that under the dog policy “people will be aware of the rules, clear and defined. People like certainty.”

Dreamweavers chosen for ‘top’ festival
THE short film Dreamweavers
- Gidja Walker OAM, by award winning filmmakers Heather ForbesMcKeon and Yanni Dellaportas, will be screened as part of the 2024 Melbourne Documentary Film Festival.
The 21-minute short by the Mornington Peninsula-based filmmaking duo was one of 50 chosen from 160 entries.
Forbes-McKeon, co-director, creator and producer of the Dreamweavers series, says that she and Dellaportas were privileged to make film about Walker who is “known as an icon for her work and knowledge as an ecologist, ethnobotanist and Mornington Peninsula Indigenous advocate”.
“Gidja combines her immense environmental knowledge alongside traditional owner’s relationships with her local environment,” she said.
“She works tirelessly for the protection of natural environments far and wide while balancing work and voluntary commitments with her creativity as a painter. Her time in nature and creativity reflects her deeply spiritual self which is also expressed through her love of family, friends, and a great sense of fun.
“Gidja Walker is a Mornington Peninsula based ecologist and ethnobotanist who has worked for years protecting its earthscapes. Gidja overcame discrimination in a male dominated profession.”
Forbes-McKeon said Walker mentors young women who were entering the world of nature-based learning and is an advocate for traditional owner custodianship.

Baking for community benefit
NOT much can’t be solved over a cup of tea and a good scone, or so say the people behind Scones on Hastings, a community not-for-profit group that offers freshly baked treats and a smile for anyone that wants it.
Scones on Hastings was established in 2020, but due to COVID restrictions took time to grow. It now attracts around 70 plus people every month.
One of the founders, Chirsty (who wanted to remain anonymous and behind the scenes) said Scones on Hastings was more than just a feed of great tasting scones, it was a lively social occasion that drew people from all backgrounds to share in an outing, enjoying company of others.
“We are as busy as we’ve ever been, and people are coming from everywhere because they hear how welcoming it is,” she said.
“There is such a strong community need for social connection, and it’s obvious from the laughter and joy people receive here.”
WHAT’S NEW...
For just two dollars a head, patrons receive three fresh baked scones with jam and cream, made from a tried and trusted recipe, and tea or coffee.
Christy said the community had embraced the event, with the social chatter increasing and people coming from further and further afield.
They even have busloads from community centres and aged care coming now from as far as Rosebud and Tooradin.
“We love that word is spreading,”
Christy said.
The charity generously donates the money it makes to various groups on the peninsula, including Wallaroo and Hastings primary schools and Wallaroo Community Support, and receives support itself from the Rotary Club of Hastings and the Hastings Bowls Club.
The volunteer run events are held first Friday of every month at Hastings Bowls Club, 40 Marine Parade, from 10am.
Train station targeted by police
Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au
VICTORIA Police officers were handed the power to search people without warrants in the vicinity of Frankston Train Station last week.
The area bounded by Nepean Highway to the west, Playne Street to the south, and Fletcher Road to the east and north was targeted by police during an operation last Thursday, 11 July between 1pm and 11pm. During that time, police in that area had the power to search people, vehicles, and bags
for weapons without a warrant. Police could detain people “for so long as is reasonably necessary to conduct a search”, and could direct them to leave the area if they are wearing face coverings or “if the police officer reasonably believes the person intends to engage in conduct that would constitute an affray”.
The temporary police powers were outlined in a state government gazette published on 8 July, three days before they were put into action. It stated that the order was made by the “Assistant Commissioner, Transit and Public Safety Command, acting as a delegate
of the Chief Commissioner of Police.” It declaration was made under section 10D(1) of the Control of Weapons Act 1990 (Vic).
Victoria Police says it conducted “Operation Pentagon” at the railway station from 2pm each day between 9 July and 11 July. During those times it dedicated extra officers and resources to the station.
There were 11,190 criminal incidents recorded in the Frankston municipality between March 2023 and March 2024. that figure is an 18.2 per cent increase on the same timeframe the year prior.
Survey seeks shire ‘satisfaction’
HUNDREDS of Mornington Peninsula residents will over the next week be able to say what they think about services offered and delivered by Mornington Peninsula Shire.
Households will be contacted as part of the quarterly “community satisfaction survey” being conducted for the shire by Metropolis Research.
A statement issued by the shire said the survey “has been designed to assess our ongoing performance to identify areas of service improvement”.
The survey would involve 400 interviews of a “representative sample of residents” who could be “assured that your details and individual responses are confidential”.
The shire last year opted to commission its own quarterly surveys in
Banking empowering local communities for over a decade
WHEN Community Bank Mt Martha opened on 11th April 2011 no one really knew if the local community would support this venture and move their banking, and if the local community would actually benefit in any way.
However, when the Franchise Agreement that Bendigo Bank signed with Mt Martha Community Enterprises Ltd, set up a Bank that dedicates 80% of its profits to the community, its more than a promise – it’s a testament to values Community Banks understand. The importance of investing in the well-being of the community they serve.
The success of Community Bank Mt Martha did not come easy, in fact the first 6 years proved challenging. However, since 2017 the branch achieved profitability and has continually grown, particularly in recent years. Owned by local shareholders, this Community Bank has given back over $1.5 million and in the recently completed 2024 financial year, achieved an amazing milestone of $510,588 made up of:
n Sponsorship: $206,518
n Community Grants: $245,598
n Donations: $20,409
n Marketing: $38,063
Stacey Wakeman, Branch Manager says “We channel most profits back into our communities. Banking with Community Bank Mt Martha becomes a powerful way for you to make a difference. We all need a bank so why not choose one that benefits you and your community”. Last year 49 organisations benefited. Notable donations include $40,000 for Mornington Community Support Centre, Fresh Food Program, $40,000 for new communication equipment for Mt Martha Fire Brigade, $10,000 for Mt Martha Primary School to establish a new science room and $36,000 to assist with the Alexandra Park Electronic Scoreboard upgrade.

the wake of two consecutive years of poor results from annual surveys made by JWS Research on behalf of the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions (Shire again misses survey satisfaction, The News 21/6/23).
The shire said the quarterly surveys starting in July 2023 by Metropolis Research would enable it to receive more timely feedback.
The year’s four surveys would “gather random responses from 1600 people” through door-to-door and telephone interviews.
“This will give us a larger sample size and allow for more open-ended questions to give us a deeper understanding of the key issues impacting community satisfaction,” the shire stated.
Interviews could take up to 15
minutes and the latest survey would be carried out from 13 to 28 July.
As part of the shire’s efforts to ensure confidentiality, it has assured residents participating in the survey that they will not be sent emails or texts or asked for their name, address, ABN or tax details, phone number, email address, credit card or Eftpos card number or banking details.
Metropolis Research officers will carry an ID card and Metropolis Research shoulder bag and would not seek to enter homes.

Celebrating culture
INDIGENOUS artist Mitch Tambo made a special appearance at Red Hill Consolidated School recently to talk with students about resilience.
The didgeridoo player, traditional indigenous dancer and singer visited the school as part of a 100-school tour to perform and inspire students to be the best they can, and successfully adapt to challenging life experiences.
The singer says developing a strong selfesteem when you’re young has never been more important.
“Children really need to believe in themselves and understand they really can achieve great things if they cultivate a positive mind set to be prepared for anything life throws at them these days,” he said. “Teachers also play a crucial role in fostering social positivity in high school, so I work with educators on how to create a sense of belonging and inclusion and remind them they are doing a great job.”
Tambo has earned global acclaim for his body of work, including 10 consecutive Top 10 singles on the Australian iTunes Worldwide charts, as well as charts across the world. He has also thrilled with performances at events such as the Australian Open, T20 and the historic Fire Fight Australia Concert with his rendition of You’re the Voice.

Disappointment at Peace Walk reporting
We were very disappointed to read the article about our walk (Peace Walk Concern, The News 9/7/24).
As the organisers of Peninsula Peace Walk for Palestine, we informed the police that we were planning a peace walk four days before the event.
We had several conversations with police officers at Frankston, Hastings and Mornington police stations. We also welcomed the attendance of four police officers at our walk.
Peninsula Peace Walk for Palestine is for people on the Mornington Peninsula who want to show their support for the Palestinian people in a peaceful way.
Furthermore, the groups named in the article did not organise the walk. We invited several community groups to share information about the walk to their mailing lists and to post the flyer on their social media.
Our initial flyer invited people to meet outside a specific shop in Main Street, Mornington. However, after receiving feedback, we quickly changed that to a more generic description. We also phoned the shop owners to apologise for our mistake.
Finally, the article referred to the protests in Melbourne, possibly leading some readers to believe we are linked. Peninsula Peace Walk for Palestine is not associated with any other group. We have simply organised a walk that enables people on the Mornington Peninsula to peacefully express their concern for the huge death toll of women, children and non-combatants in Gaza
Stefan Raabe, Marg D’Arcy and Sarah Russell (organisers of Peninsula Peace Walk)
Peaceful walk
I was part of the peaceful small group of 35 people and some dogs who walked along MainSt to the Eastern ring road and then back along Main St to Mornington Park on Sunday 7th at midday. We carried a Palestinian flag and some signs and just walked quietly without trying to speak to people uninvited . There were 4 police people caring for us.
There was no disturbance to shoppers or community.
The sunshine had encouraged lots of people to be out and about - there was no sign that we ‘turned shoppers off’ and no loud words from any of us outside the shoe shop where we started.
The concerns expressed in the article by Liz Bell seem to be encouraging people to think there may be violence and anti social behaviour in such a walk. My experience over many such walks both locally and in Melbourne CBD is that the walks are peaceful.
I have been on seven of the Sunday Support Palestine walks in Melbourne with over 10,000 participants and no incidents!
This is a much needed opportunity for peninsula people to show their quiet support of a people suffering death and destruction.
I let the Melbourne organisers know about our walk on 7th July and they were pleased to know.
I thank our local organizers for doing this in peace.

Save the children
I caught a glimpse of the Palestine protest at Mornington on the weekend. The impression from The News reporting in the paper (Peace Walk Concern, The News 9/7/24) was that Mornington was going to be razed to the ground by a violent mob. Alas, the gathering was rather small and completely innocuous.
I find it hard to comprehend that protesting against the wholesale slaughter of a people can be so maligned in this day in age. Where have we gone wrong? How have our beliefs deviated so far from decency?
I may be old-fashioned and out of step, but I always think that we must protect children at all costs.
An unforgiveable crime occurred on 7 October where the terrorist organisation Hamas brutually murdered over a thousand innocent people, including 38 children. Unforgiveable. They have to be held to account for their actions.
But the Israeli response has left, it is estmimated (by Save The Children UK), 13,800 children dead in the tiny enclave of Gaza.
13,800 children dead. That’s 13,800 children murdered in an area half the size of the Mornington Peninsula.
13,800 children murdered simply for being Palestinian.
How can this be? Save the children. For goodness sake. Save the children.

Nuclear too late
I feel that Anne Kruger may well be disappointed (Nuclear Changes, Letters 9/7/24), in hoping for more detail in Dutton’s nuclear idea. I think calling it a plan, which suggests structure and substance. is somewhat generous.
If Australia was going to go nuclear it is about 20-30 years late. Back then renewables weren’t really an option but now they are, and far cheaper, more readily available option than nuclear.
Dutton isn’t saying how he intends to keep power prices down for the next fifteen years before the nuclear plants, that will contribute very little to the power grid, come online. What he is doing is ensuring that prices will go up as investors respond to this new uncertainty in the energy sector.
Sadly Dutton is only interested in trying to create confusion before next year’s election in the hope that he might gain a few votes.

Youth crime crisis
The youth crime crisis in Melbourne, including Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, has escalated and the state government is still continuing with it’s social reform of the youth bail and justice laws which Victoria Police opposes. Frankston Council youth services and the Frankston police can do something constructive by visiting schools and educating students that crime does not pay and that a life of crimes leads to a life of in imprisonment.
They also can have students assist police in contacting Crime Stoppers in stopping teenage serious crimes by sending Crime Stoppers social media posts which show crimes being planned and being committed.
Also, they can educate students about how to use social media responsibly.
There needs to be an “at the face” approach to help solve youth crime and give out information about state, federal and council programs for youth services.

Poor planning result
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is concerned about residents parking boats, trailers and caravans on the streets, but it is mostly because of poor planning by council, together with the fact that it is illegal to park on nature strips (Shire’s limited parking powers, The News, 9/7/24).
Too many modern housing estates have either small “pocket blocks” or quite large housesfence to fence - on smallish blocks where it is not possible to get a boat or van into the backyard which is, anyway, too small to accommodate one. I’ve driven down some of these narrow streets and noticed front lawns, nature strips and kerbsides chock-ablock with cars, vans and boats because the dwellings have only a single, or small double, garage, if any.
You can’t blame these people as they are only trying to live the Australian way of life in the great outdoors.
Being located in an older part of Mornington, when there was once good planning, we are blessed with wide streets and footpaths and adequately sized blocks with a driveway, space
for car port, garage/workshop, gazebo/barbecue, garden, boat, caravan, and for the kids to play on a lawn. A standard modest home. But even here, blocks are being re-developed to have two or three dwellings with limited space for cars and none for anything else.
This is because of the push by council and state government for high density housing which is much cheaper to develop but creates future slums. Significantly, the council can then collect more rate revenue from a given block of land.
Then there are the young couples unable to afford to buy or even rent a house, forced to move in with the parents, thus requiring more vehicles to be parked.

Good Samaritans
Community spirit is alive and well in the township of Dromana!
I am an 87-year-old man. On the 12th June I went to post a letter in the post box opposite the post office in Dromana.
I stopped my car and posted my letter. As I turned to step off the curb, I fell flat on my face!
As I lay with blood everywhere, three women came to my aid. My nose was streaming blood, my hands where cut and my jacket and the right leg of my jeans were soaked in blood.
One of the ladies came with a handful of tissues to try to stop the bleeding. Then a gentleman came and took my arm and took me down to South Coast Medical.
In the mean time the tissue lady got my car key, parked my car for me, and came down to the medical centre and return my key.
The young doctor and nurse cleaned me up and patched me up. The doctor gave me a good examination and said he thought I had broken my nose, and told me to stay at the surgery for an hour and then go down to the Rosebud Xray dept for a scan on my head .
He gave me a paper to take with me, I had the scan and returned home .
Later that day got a call from the doctor saying
that I had broken my nose. Could I come in on the Friday to have the dressings changed which I did.
The nurse told me that someone had been in to the surgery to inquire about me. It was the chap that had brought me in on the Wednesday. I would like to express my Heartfelt thank you to all the people involved that Wednesday! I have made a complete recovery. All dressings off. God bless you all!

Cyclists in danger
Point Nepean Road is used by lots of cyclists daily. We all “run the gauntlet” because there’s no bike lane where it’s needed. It’s dangerous. For this 200 metre narrow, curved bit of road, VicRoads has simply installed signs - Bike Lane – END. Maybe a big bike blockade will help, before a cyclist is killed.

A Surprise Birthday Party – Mr W. Priest Honoured
Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Monday last, Mr. Mark Brody, the well-known land and estate agent, of Frankston, had a bright item of news to tell a representative of “The Standard.”
The previous week a little bird whispered to Mr. Brody that the anniversary of Mr. Priest’s birthday was on the wing, and the ever-wide-awake “Mark,” as he likes to be called, hit upon the idea that a surprise party would be just the thing to “fill the bill.”
So he approached Mr. W. G. Wells, who supplies excellent joints of choice beef for his many customers, and that urbane gentleman said to the irresistible Mr. Brody:
“Right-o ! You fix everything up.”
Mr. Brody did, and thus it came about that on Wednesday evening, a week ago, Messrs. Mark Brody (the originator of the happy idea), M. Jacobs, Nelson, Morrison, G. Dugan, A. Tasker (the popular A.S.M.), S. Lawrey, B. Morgan, and C. Woods (the well-known tonsorial artist), congregated at the residence of Mr. Priest, and did honor to the auspicious occasion.
In proposing the toast of the guest, Mr. Brody eulogised in an appropriate vein the qualities of which he was possessed, and alluded to the many acts of goodness in “both money and kind” that Mr. Priest had performed in an unostentatious manner.
In his remarks, Mr. Brody was supported by all present.
The guest suitably responded.
A most pleasant evening was spent, interspersed with songs and musi-
cal items. A delectable supper was served, the appetising viands being supplemented with choice vintage, the ever-favorite “gold-top” being much enjoyed.

THE motor oil delivery tank of the Commonwealth Oil Refineries Ltd. made a further delivery of 1000 gallons of bulk motor spirit to Frankston on Wednesday last.
This is the third delivery to Frankston in the last few weeks, and on Friday a further delivery will be made.
Undoubtedly this bulk delivery is a great boon to Frankston re-sellers of motor spirit.

Mr M. J. Canny,well and favorably known in Frankston, and a constant summer visitor to the town is much spoken of for the vacant commissionership of the Victorian Railways.
The many friends of Mrs. R. Morgan, the popular proprietress of the up-to-date De Luxe tea rooms, Young street, who is at present a patient in Sister Campbell’s well-known private hospital, Melbourne road, under the care of Dr. Hilliard Johnson, will be pleased to hear that she is progressing favorably. We join in wishing Mrs. Morgan a speedy recovery.
Mr. T. Hurley, who, for the past eighteen months,’ was stationed as clerk in the railway booking office at the Frankston depot, has been transferred to Clifton Hill. Mr. Hurley is a most zealous and courteous officer, and we wish him every prosperity in his new sphere.
Mr. E. G. Finn, from Essendon, has
taken Mr. Hurey’s position, and if a first impression of him may be cited as a criterion, he should become equally as popular as his predecessor did.

EVER since the Christmas trade, Mr. O. J. Olsen, proprietor of the Frankston Garage, which is situated next door to the police station, on the Melbourne road, having had a big demand for petrol, has been, to use his own phrase: “Fighting with the British Imperial Vacuum, Oil Companies for bulk delivery at Frankston,” and at the hour of going to press we are informed that the first delivery of bulk petrol, made by the said companies, will be delivered today at the well-known garage in question.
This supply of petrol is going to prove of great advantage, inasmuch,
that it will do away with the hitherto loss of time, and will be delivered straight from the tank into the bowser.
Mr. Olsen is to be congratulated on his enterprise.
***
THE entertainment given at the Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday of last week in aid of the Frankston High School funds was most successful, approximately £17 accruing as a result.
Mr. P. Wheeler, J.P., chairman of the High school council, in opening the concert, said he regretted that a prior engagement prevented his staying throughout the evening, but hoped everyone would enjoy themselves, and thanked them for their support.
The whole of the programme was given by the 1st Mornington Girl Guides, in charge of Capt. R. H. Aicken, and it would be hard to single out any particular item more than another that is deserving of special mention.
The programme consisted of recitations, solos, action songs, costume comedies and folk dances.
The latter were specially appealing.
The music for these dances was composed by the Ven. Archdeacon Aickin, who acted as accompanist throughout.
At the conclusion, Mr. R. E. Chapman (headmaster of the High school) thanked all those who so kindly assisted in making the entertainment a success, also Mr. L. Davey for bringing the Guides from Mornington at his own expense.
Cr. Bradbury seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation.

Tigers fight back, Edi-Asp wins a thriller
MPNFL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN'S DIV ONE
ROSEBUD came close to pulling off an upset against Dromana last weekend, but fell just short.
Dromana has lost just twice this season, and sits on top of the ladder. Rosebud came into the game with seven wins and five losses.
Rosebud landed a huge blow in the first quarter, and went into the first break with a 24 point lead. They scored five consecutive goals to start the match.
Dromana woke up in the second quarter, and hit back with four goals of their own. At the main break the Tigers trailed Rosebud by just three points.
Rosebud led by a goal at three-quarter-time, but Dromana kept on applying the pressure. The ladder leaders eventually overpowered Rosebud, and went on to claim a narrow seven point win.
Dromana came from behind to beat Rosebud 8.8 (56) to 9.9 (63). Jake Aarts, Clayton Gay, Riley Davis, Billy Quigley, and William Slattery were the Tigers’ best. Nic Sakalis booted three goals for Rosebud.
At the other end of the ladder, lastplaced Mornington succumbed to another defeat at the hands of Mt Eliza.

MEN'S DIV TWO
A TEN-goal haul from Brent Eddy was one of the highlights of a thrilling match between Pearcedale and ladder leaders Edithvale-Aspendale last weekend.
Edi-Asp hosted the match. Pearcedale proved they were up for the challenge in the first quarter, and went into the first break ahead by eight points. Both sides traded goals throughout the day. At the three-quarter-timebreak, Pearcedale led by just one point.
Pearcedale scored a goal to go ahead by 13 points halfway through the fi-
nal term, but Edithvale-Aspendale wouldn’t quit. They kept on fighting, and eventually kicked ahead in the closing stages of the game.
Pearcedale had a late chance to win the game, but couldn’t capitalise. Edithvale-Aspendale just held on for a nail-biting one point win 18.10 (118) to 18.9 (117).
Michael Meehan, Kurt Lo Po, and Liam Hiscock were named Edi-Asp’s best. Lo Po booted seven goals, and Meehan scored three. Ishak Bashir also contributed three goals to the scoreboard.
Brett Eddy scored 10 goals for Pearcedale. Luke Daniel scored three. Seaford narrowly beat Tyabb last weekend. Seaford beat the Yabbies 11.6 (72) to 11.14 (80) at Bunguyan Reserve.

Bonbeach and Somerville rounded out the winner’s list with victories on the road against Karingal and Crib Point respectively.
WOMEN'S DIV ONE
MORNINGTON Blue has maintained its hold on top spot with a dominant win over Karingal.
The Bulldogs hosted the Bulls at Alexandra Park on Saturday afternoon.
The home side raced out of the blocks in the first quarter and never looked back.
Karingal scored just one goal all day. Mornington ran away with a comfortable 80 point win 12.16 (88) to 1.2 (8).
Jaymie Lilley, Hayley Monk, and Eliza Snehotta each scored two goals for the Bulldogs.
Mornington White also picked up a win last weekend. They beat a fastfinishing Pearcedale at Alexandra Park.
After a tight first quarter, Mornington White opened up a decent lead. At the final break they led by 27 points.
Pearcedale fought their way back into the game with a two-goals-to-zero final quarter, but it wasn’t enough to get the victory. Mornington White emerged with a 10.4 (64) to 7.7 (49) win.
Warragul Industrials had a bye last weekend.

Stinson leads Chelsea title tilt
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
CHELSEA has set the State 4 South title race alight by becoming the first team since 2022 to inflict a loss on table-topping Hampton Park United.
A solitary goal was all that separated these sides at KM Reedy Reserve on Saturday and league top scorer James Stinson was on the mark once more.
The English ace emphasised his importance to the Chelsea cause when a pinpoint through ball from Adam Bartosy in the 52nd minute allowed Stinson to round Hampton Park keeper Michael Almeida and calmly finish the move.
The home side would have hit back soon after if not for a point-blank save from Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies and in the 70th minute Harry Parker and Stinson combined to set up Christian Murray who shot just wide with the goal at his mercy.
Chelsea endured a nervy final 10 minutes but managed to keep Hampton Park at bay much to the delight of the travelling fans and head coach Gus Macleod.
“We’re definitely doing better than we anticipated and it’s obviously very enjoyable when you’re winning,” Macleod said.
“We’ve still got a wee bit to go to catch the top two but I think this win will give the boys a lot of confidence.
“We play Baxter this week and that will be a tough one in every shape and form.”
Early in the season there were doubts about Chelsea’s depth and its ability to maintain a promotion push but the recent re-signing of midfield dynamo Connor Scott and defender Sam Dunn has strengthened the squad.
Both came off the bench in Saturday’s contest.
Chelsea also has signed experienced keeper Chris England as a replacement for Tom Carter who has joined Aspendale.
Chelsea is now three points behind league leader Monash University and two points behind Hampton Park.
Baxter goes into Saturday’s derby at Edithvale Recreation Reserve with just one win in its last five games and last weekend it went down 3-2 away to Endeavour United.
Fijian international Anish Khem has found his scoring touch with Baxter and his double against Endeavour brings his tally to five in four appearances.
He should be joined shortly by fellow Fijian Edward Aaron who was due to arrive in Melbourne as we went to press.
Aaron, 32, plays with Lautoka and is a leftsided defender or midfielder.
In other State 4 results Somerville Eagles hit back from the previous week’s disappointment to record a 2-0 away win over Keysborough on Saturday.
The visitors led at the interval thanks to Alessio Izzo who was brought down inside the area and converted the resultant penalty.
Keysborough keeper Austin Kearney kept his side in the contest in the second half until substitute Marcus Anastasiou pounced on a goalmouth scramble to give Somerville a two-goal cushion.
Anastasiou was back after a six-week injury break and the Eagles talisman no doubt will play a vital role in their prospects for the remainder of the season.
Mentone beat Lyndale United 3-2 with goals from Daniel Passente, Adam Leander and Dylan Taylor.
In VPL1 news Langwarrin moved into fifth spot on the ladder leapfrogging FC Bulleen Lions who were outplayed by the locals 4-2 at Lawton Park on Friday night.
Top scorer Archie Macphee opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a lethal left-foot free-kick and youngster Dante Avian made it 2-0 in the 32nd minute.
Bulleen failed to deal with a Luke Goulding corner and Avian finished off a one-two with Luke Adams from close range.
The visitors hit back seven minutes later when Dante Conte’s cross from the right was skilfully taken down by Phineus Harbinson and slotted wide of advancing Langy keeper Griffin Bambach.
Bulleen missed a gilt-edged opportunity to level in the 52nd minute.
Dennis Menelaou had only been on as a sub for a few seconds when he skinned Adams and Barath Suresh only to be denied by a superb reflex save from Bambach.
Ryo Takahashi made an indelible mark on this contest in the 73rd minute after a slick interpassing exchange between Suresh, Avian and the Japanese import ended with Bulleen keeper James Siekris grasping at thin air as Takahashi’s strike from just outside the area brought roars of approval from the home team’s supporters.
But Langy didn’t enjoy a two-goal breather for long because Bulleen substitute Hussain Al Sharifi was at the back post five minutes later to head home a pinpoint chipped cross from Conte on the left to make it 3-2.
It was time for Takahashi to show everyone that he’s lethal with either foot and in the 82nd minute he unleashed a low right-foot drive from outside the area to seal Bulleen’s fate.
Langy’s Rogan McGeorge and James Kelly were suspended but are available for selection this weekend.
In State 1 news Mornington continues to struggle and Saturday’s 2-0 home loss to Mazenod leaves the local club in a relegation dogfight.
In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers maintained their promotion push with an excellent 4-2 away win over Chisholm United last Friday night.
It was clear early that Campbell Steedman’s pace was a problem for the Chisholm right back and Steedman struck in the 23rd minute.
A superb through ball from man-of-the-match
Jaiden Madaferri split open the home team’s defence and Steedman calmly slotted the ball past advancing Chisholm keeper Rani Dowisha.
Tommy Wood couldn’t capitalise on a oneon-one with Dowisha two minutes later and Chisholm striker Malle Samson equalised with a firm strike from outside the box in the 42nd minute.
Gerasimos Kavadas put Chisholm 2-1 up from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute but two minutes later the home side failed to clear from a corner and Stevie Elliott hammered home a volley to level.
Good lead-up work by Riley Anderton in the 75th minute was rewarded when Wood rolled his defender then buried the ball in the bottom corner.
There was no way back for Chisholm three minutes later after Cooper Andrews was fouled in the box and Anderton converted from the spot.
Skye United asked questions of league leader Bayside Argonauts but eventually went down 3-2 at Shipston Reserve on Saturday.
Daniel Attard and Alex Roberts scored for Skye.
In State 5 news Rosebud extended its lead at the top of the table with a tough 1-0 away win over Endeavour Hills Fire.
Stuart Johnston’s side remains unbeaten this season and came up against an Endeavour Hills outfit with a defensive plan in place.
Experienced Rosebud strikers Mark Pagliarulo and Dave Greening both missed chances to break the deadlock in the first half and central defender Dougie Cunnison was forced off at half-time due to injury.
But the title favourite found a way to win and the decisive moment came in the 84th minute when Jack Wyer was on the end of an Andy Jerez corner and after taking a touch hammered a low strike into the bottom corner of goal much to the
delight of Rosebud’s travelling faithful.
Seaford United and Aspendale both are zeroing in on a second-placed finish and emphasised their credentials with impressive wins last weekend.
Aspendale hammered second-placed FC Noble Hurricanes 4-1 at Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground in a match highlighted by Gianluca Bozzo’s first-half hat-trick.
Just two minutes had elapsed when Bozzo ran onto Lewis Marco’s pass and finished well past Hurricanes keeper Elvis Alimovski.
In the 35th minute Bozzo skipped past two defenders then struck his shot into the bottom corner and six minutes later effectively ended the contest when Jordy Athanassiou found him on the wing and he cut inside then slotted the ball past Alimovski for a third time.
Early in the second half an Athanassiou cross was handled inside the area and Koray Yildirim converted to make it 4-0.
By the time the Hurricanes replied their fate had been sealed.
Seaford’s 5-1 home win over Casey Panthers leaves Paul Williams’ side with its eyes firmly fixed on a promotion pathway.
In the 22nd minute an inswinging free-kick from Blake Hicks found the back of the net and a quickfire double from Cory Osorio which included a penalty gave the visitors a mountain to climb in the second half.
Josh Vega made it 4-0 in the 56th minute when he pounced on the rebound after a Hicks effort was saved by the Casey keeper and Hicks made it 5-0 shortly after when Casey failed to deal with a corner.
The visitors’ consolation goal came from the penalty spot after Rosh Livera brought down an opponent inside the box.
Mount Martha had its best win of the season when downing neighbouring Mount Eliza 3-2 at Civic Reserve on Saturday in a match that doubles as the Mental Health Safety Net Cup.
The visitors led at half-time thanks to a converted penalty from Austin Mcewen but three second-half goals by the home side turned this contest on its head.
The equaliser came in the 60th minute when big Davey Jones slid in to finish a ball played in from the left and nine minutes later Marcus Poda scored from the spot after being brought down inside the area.
Mount Martha went further ahead in the 79th minute after Jayden Taberner was put through and slipped the ball past Mount Eliza keeper Luke Armao.
In the dying moments of the game James Powell made it 3-2 but Mount Martha couldn’t be denied a second straight win.
