Morning visit came with cultural lessons RESIDENTS from Arcare Balnarring spent a morning of learning about Aboriginal culture and the medicinal and dietary use of native plants during a visit to the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association at Hastings.

Elder Uncle John spoke to the aged care centre visitors about the Bunurong people of the Mornington Peninsula before a didgeridoo performance wrapped up their visit.

“We thought it was a very calming place to visit. An outing enjoyed by all,” Arcare lifestyle coordinator Gail Perry said.

Sanctuary may be forbidden for Harry Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is this week expected to back down on its insistence that the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event could not be moved from The Briars wildlife sanctuary.

The move follows last Thursday’s announcement that Warner Bros and Fever were “re-evaluating the current location” of the event at the shireowned Mount Martha property.

This week’s council meeting has one “Community Strengthening” item on its agenda: The Briars – Event Experience Trail Location. An report

prepared by five council officers was not available Monday morning.

The shire was continuing to defend the choice of the wildlife sanctuary for the nightly sound and light spectacular just two days before Peter van Roden, senior vice-president, Global Themed Entertainment Warner Bros.

Discovery contacted the Save Briars Sanctuary group to say the site was being reviewed.

Shire CEO John Baker gave assurances at Tuesday night’s public council meeting that the “Harry Potter areas” in the sanctuary “will be managed by trained security staff who will be able to ensure people stay in the designated areas, which are already

used by the community”.

“The experience will occupy only seven per cent of the 90-hectare sanctuary, leaving space for animals to move away,” Baker said in response to more than 50 letters questioning the choice of a wildlife sanctuary for the months’ long nightly Potter performances.

No mention was made about how far the lights or sound would travel in and outside the property.

Questions raised in the letters included concerns for the welfare of wildlife living in the sanctuary; secrecy surrounding the contract for the Harry Potter show; how individual councillors had voted on the decision;

COME AND SEE THE CHICKENS ROAMING FREE IN THE PADDOCK!

and lack of community consultation.

Any debate by councillors and reports by officers about the Potter show have been kept secret since first being raised in August last year.

Councillors - except David Gill - agreed to sign non-disclosure agreements, ensuring that there would be no public announcement about the use of The Briars sanctuary for the Harry Potter show until a marketing plan was in place and tickets were ready to be sold.

Once that date was reached, the shire’s website promoted the show and provided online links to ticket sellers along with details about paid parking.

However, once the secret was out protesters quickly organised an online petition (more than 20,000 signatures), displayed placards condemning the show in The Briars wildlife sanctuary, called a public meeting and attended last week’s council meeting, again carrying placards calling for the show be held elsewhere.

In a since deleted Facebook post, Cr Steve Holland described protestors as “a noisy, fringe minority”.

The disclosure has also ensured that the secrecy surrounding the Harry Potter saga will be ongoing for councillors seeking re-election in October (Potter sequel at the ballot box, The News 30/1/24).

Prop less: The LPG tanker Boungainville shelters at Flinders while arrangment are made to replace its “lost” propeller Picture: Gary Sissons

Stricken gas tanker ‘no threat’ A PANAMANIAN-flagged liquid petroleum gas tanker that lost its propellor in Bass Strait was forced to anchor for several days until emergency vessels could tow it to Flinders.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has confirmed that the LPG tanker Bougainville lost propulsion on 2 February during pre-arrival main engine testing, and was later found to have lost its propeller.

The vessel was then forced to anchor near Phillip Island in Bass Strait until emergency vessels arrived on 5 February to tow it to Flinders.

An AMSA spokesperson said the authority was “satisfied that the crew was safe, and that the vessel does not currently pose a threat to the marine environment”.

The tanker was expected to be in Flinders until it could be towed to

the more sheltered Cowes anchorage, where it was likely to remain until it could be taken elsewhere for repairs.

Initial underwater inspections revealed that the main propeller shaft had sheared off, requiring the removal of the propeller.

The spokesperson said AMSA would continue to work with the master of the vessel and its operator to resolve the situation.

Summer is koala road kill season Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IT IS an unfortunate and increasingly deadly fact that the koala breeding season coincides with the busiest times on Mornington Peninsula roads.

Since last August 17 koalas have been killed on peninsula roads - half of those in January - although the number is almost certainly higher as not all such collisions are officially reported.

Campaigns to protect koalas by the Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation (MPKC) group are credited with reducing the number of road kills, although roadside warning signs were not installed until December, three months later than normal.

“Our campaign is in its third season, and we have seen a significant reduction in koala road kill on roads with our signage,” the group’s president Dirk Jansen said.

“A particular success has been Frankston-Flinders Road between Balnarring and Flinders, where three sets of signs are installed each year and we have only recorded one koala hit by a car in the last three years.”

Before the signs were installed there used to be “at least” three koalas killed there each holiday season.

Jansen said there had been “similar successes on other roads”.

“Seven koalas were hit and killed in January, one was a female with joey which increases the number of lives lost to eight – this is a new record for koala roadkill in a four-week period,” he said.

“The season is not finished, and we can expect more incidents until Easter.”

Despite the success of its sign program, Jansen said the koala group “urgently needs to consider additional methods to reduce the wildlife carnage and risk to drivers on our roads during the holiday season”.

“The numbers of kangaroos and wallabies hit is also very significant during this time, and I believe a more strategic approach is required between all local and state decision makers to reduce roadkill and reduce risk of wildlife accidents for drivers.

“The steady increase in road traffic and continued

population growth on the Mornington Peninsula means we will need to work harder to protect what is left of our beautiful wildlife.”

Jansen proposed a meeting between members of the Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation group, municipal councils (including the City of Casey), VicRoads and the Transport Accident Commission.

“Politicians rarely speak up about road speeds or wildlife so publicity is very important in actioning long term protections for our fast disappearing much loved and iconic local native species,” Mornington Peninsula Shire Cr David Gill said.

Jansen listed “problematic roads” as being Bayview Road, Hastings (no signs, significant truck traffic - two koala deaths: Western Port Highway, Somerville and Tyabb (no signs, three incidents, including two fatalities); Robinsons Road, Langwarrin (two koala deaths despite signs); Balnarring Road (one koala killed despite signs); Cranbourne Road near Kelvin Grove; Peninsula Freeway at Langwarrin, Mount Martha and McCrae (no signs); Mornington Tyabb Road near Olivers Creek Bushland reserve; Forest Drive, Mount Martha and South Beach Road, Somers.

Jansen’s call is being made at the same time that Merricks Beach Association has asked Roads and Road Safety Minister Melissa Horne to “direct the Department of Transport and Planning to review the posted speed limit of the Frankston-Flinders Road between Balnarring and Merricks”.

The association said the speed limit should be reduced from 100kph to80kph, which would be appropriate following the “collective experience of the poor safety record of this section of road” of its members.

“The advice provided to us is that, in fact, the speed limit in this section of road does not align with the [Victorian Speed Zoning Technical ] Guidelines and recommends that 80 kph is the appropriate speed limit given the medium-high risk of crashes,” association president Peter Cash said in a letter to Horne.

“Furthermore, the crash history of this road confirms residents’ observations that the current speed limit is unsafe.”

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has a track record of failing to consult ratepayers about important decisions. First, it came for older people who use aged care services. Then it came for our beloved wildlife sanctuary at The Briars.

In 2022, councillors voted to outsource aged care services to corporate providers, a decision presented to the local community as a fait accompli. Thousands of vulnerable older people were left without home care – some for several months.

Then mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said the council wanted “to ensure our residents had a choice and the advantage of a competitive market environment”.

A choice? What sort of choice is it to leave some of our most vulnerable residents without care? As for a competitive market? The private providers were not able to provide care.

The Commonwealth Home Support Program will not transition before July 2027. Council had five years to make the transition to a “competitive market environment” and ensure the transition went smoothly. Instead, it chose to push ahead and marketise aged care services at a time when all private aged care services were short staffed due to the pandemic.

More recently, residents were kept in the dark about Warner Brothers’ plans to stage a Harry Potter sound and light show in the beloved wildlife sanctuary at The Briars, Mount Martha.

Clearly it is an issue of great interest to the community, yet most councillors willingly signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with a multinational company. Whatever happened to councillors’ commitment to integrity, transparency and consultation?

Do our councillors need to be reminded they are elected to represent us? Cr Steve Holland claims those of us opposed to this event being held in a wildlife sanctuary are a “noisy minority” and “fringe activists”. Absurd claims given more than 16,000 people signed a petition in protest against this event within a fortnight. Cr Holland should perhaps reflect on the fact that he received only 9463 votes when elected, much less than half the 21,000 people who have now signed the petition.

A council spokesperson said the process of approving the event was “no different from many other commercial in confidence matters that are routinely considered by council during closed sessions”. This is utter nonsense. Discussing tender applications such as those required for new infrastructure require commercial in confidence.

However, Warner Brothers’ sound and light show was not a competitive tender.

It has also been claimed the “event will showcase our region, inspiring visitors to stay for a few days in what is generally a quiet time for our tourism sector”. This suggests the agreement with Warner Brothers has been based purely on financial grounds - with no concern for the

The Briars wildlife sanctuary contains rare flora and fragile ecosystems that are home to 23 species of animals, including threatened koalas, 16 species of reptiles, and 90 species of birds including a breeding pair of endangered powerful owls. Did councillors read the ecological assessment report about the potential impacts of holding this event in the wildlife sanctuary?

It is extraordinary that Warner Brothers and Fever did not need a planning permit. While council makes ratepayers go through hoops to build a small shed on our property, corporate giants face no obstacles when they propose an extravaganza in a wildlife sanctuary.

And when asked if the Bunurong Land Council had given its approval, a councillor replied: “I’m following up with officers.” How did councillors not think to check with the land council before giving their approval?

The influence of corporate money resulted in our council and councillors acting in the interests of big business instead of the local community.

The director of the Australia Institute’s democracy and accountability program, Bill Browne, said it was not clear why the nondisclosure agreement was needed, and it raised concerns about transparency. “This is a salient reminder … that the public is paying attention and doesn’t like being locked out of the decision-making process.”

The council’s argument that this light and sound spectacular is in a limited area of the sanctuary is akin to the days when you purchased a non-smoking seat on a flight and sat surrounded by smoke from the smoking section.

Of course, the wildlife will suffer during this event.

As the opposition to this decision grows, thanks to a wonderful grassroots community campaign and extensive media coverage, Warner Brothers is re-evaluating the location of this event. Let’s hope our council and councillors also re-evaluate their behaviour.

It was their job to listen to the community’s concerns before confidential contracts with Warner Brothers and Fever were signed.

Digging Cape Schanck’s hidden history PARKS Victoria is digging up the past at Cape Schanck and giving visitors the chance to see an archaeological dig in action.

This weekend’s open day will provide an insight into archaeology at Cape Schanck’s historic lightstation.

Over the past three summers, a dig by the Cape Schanck Archaeological Field School has explored the hidden history of the lightstation and given student archaeologists the chance to do field work at a place steeped in Aboriginal and post-colonial heritage.

“The dig has given archaeology students a rare opportunity to participate in the excavation of a significant site and learn excavation and artefact analysis techniques from some of Victoria’s most experienced archaeologists,” Heritage Victoria’s principal archaeologist Jeremy Smith said.

Visitors will be able to meet the archaeologists, watch an excavation in progress and look at some of the artefacts already uncovered.

The field school is a joint project between Parks Victoria, the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, Heritage Victoria, Heritage Insight and the Australian National University.

Two years of work has uncovered a cobbled pavement building that may have been a storeroom or stable, along with 11,877 artefact fragments from about 1800 different objects.

This year’s work will expand the excavation area and continue the search for more artefacts.

Aboriginal people were drawn to Cape Schanck for thousands of years by the abundance of marine life and food sources. The dunes around the lightstation contain cultural heritage sites, shell middens and quarries.

The lighthouse was built in 1857-1859, in response to increasing shipwrecks along the coast, and has been in continuous operation ever since.

The open day will also look at marine archaeology, including the chance to see items found at shipwreck sites off the Mornington Peninsula – the SS Cheviot (wrecked in 1887), SS Sierra Nevada (1900) and SS Craigburn (1891).

For more information on the restoration works, visit parks.vic. gov.au/projects/statewide-projects/heritage-icons-projects Quotes, attributed to Parks Victoria Senior Manager Heritage Services Paul Roser “We’re really excited to give visitors the chance to learn about the fascinating archaeological work at Cape Schanck and get a close-up look at an archaeological dig in progress.”

Search for way out of Potter predicament Continued from Page 1 While the presence of the demonstrators at last week’s council meeting did not see any councillors make any surprise moves, Warners Bros acted in less than 48 hours.

Crs Lisa Dixon and Steve Holland did not attend the meeting.

The best council could offer at its meeting was that it was looking into the legal aspects before seeing how much information it could release about the decision it made in August 2023.

“We are currently working on some elements of the contract that potentially could be released, but obviously subject to some very detailed legal review,” Baker said.

“This is referring to the council report and the minutes [of the August 2023 meeting] and obviously want to make absolutely sure that none of that refers to any confidential issues.”

At 2pm on Thursday, Baker was quoted

on the shire’s Facebook page: “Together with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Mornington Peninsula Shire is re-evaluating the current location of the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience at The Briars in Mount Martha.

We will have more information soon.”

The next move was to call a special council meeting for today, Tuesday 13 February, although the shire has yet to publish an agenda.

Louise Page, of Save Briars Sanctuary, said the group was “somewhat cautious … [but] extend heartfelt thanks to the decision makers for recognising the error in choice of location and taking steps to identify an alternative”.

“This is not only a win for the sanctuary and its precious wildlife, for the community and for the environment, but also for local businesses and The Briars because now we really do have a quadruple bottom line deci-

sion; we are not sacrificing the environment for economic gain.”

The mayor Cr Simon Brooks was almost shouted down when he told the public meeting at Mornington Yacht Club on Monday 29 January that councillors had not seen the fine details of the contract with Warner Bros and could not reveal what they did know because of the confidentiality agreement signed by most councillors (Potter protests continue, The News 6/2/24).

With Warners and the shire now “re-evaluating” the performance site, the Victorian Greens have urged the state government to step in and stop the Harry Potter event “from going ahead in a wildlife sanctuary”.

The Greens say the show will “cause harm to the precious animals that call the sanctuary home and put a number of threatened species at risk”. The six-week event would expose the animals to “damaging artificial lighting, noise and high foot traffic”.

Society’s historic book win FLINDERS District Historical Society has won the 2023 Small History Publication Award for its book, Flinders Cargo Shed: heritage and environs.

The Victorian Community History Awards are made by the Public Record Office Victoria and the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.

“Beginning with the 2022 Flinders pier precinct heritage listing with the Heritage Council of Victoria, this small volume reveals the importance of this space’s natural history, the early Bunurong-colonist relationships in this area of Bunurong country, and the role of the site in industry and defence,” the award citation stated.

“This is a considered and informative history with an engaging narrative drawing on an interpretative display housed in the Flinders Cargo Shed.

“The history is beautifully illustrated and situates the history of the Cargo Shed and pier within broader moments of Victoria’s history and demonstrates the significance of the cargo shed’s built structure to the state.”

NEXT month’s Flinders Art Show has been cancelled because of delays in completing the new Flinders Civic Hall.

The art show committee said it was “bitterly disappointed” at having to cancel the 8 - 10 March event.

The committee said it was now negotiating with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council team to hold the art show on the Melbourne Cup Day weekend in November.

The committee said on Monday that it had been told the hall would not be completed in time due to “project completion delays”.

Ticket holders, artists and donors would be given refunds and notified of the new exhibitions date.

Fringe festival finale at Flinders A BYO picnic with love entertainment in the grounds of St Johns Anglican Church will be the finale at this year’s Flinders Fringe Festival.

The entertainment will be headlined

by Indigenous singer-songwriter Jess Hitchcock and Kee’Ahn. The community-focussed event will run from midday to 3.30pm, with tickets at $15 adults and $5 children and concessions.

Picnic-goers can take their own food and beverages or buy from the Flinders Pre-School barbecue stall.

Curated and produced by Sally Baillieu and a team of volunteers, the fringe finale will start with a welcome to country by Bunurong Land Council, and welcome by the Rev Keiron Jones.

Artistic festival director Melissa Jackson said the festival, back for its second year, was an event designed to bring people together.

“It’s important to celebrate talent and businesses connected with the Mornington Peninsula while showcasing local food and wine producers,” she said.

“What better way to finish a busy and eclectic three-day program than with Flinders’ biggest BYO picnic and a host of live entertainment in the stunning grounds of St Johns Anglican Church.”

White moth mayhem THE SUDDEN influx of white-winged butterflies on the Mornington Peninsula has some people reaching for the insecticide, but experts say there is no need to be alarmed.

The white butterfly invasion has been sparked by recent hot weather and the rapid growth of food source for the butterfly larvae and is occurring all over the country.

Some gardeners are taking extra precautions to protect their vegie patches, but the butterflies – also known as cabbage moths – won’t be around for long, and provide a source of food for birds.

President of the Filed Naturalists Association of Victoria, Max Campbell, says fine netting over vegetables was the best and safest solution for the weeks are butterflies are around.

“There is not much to worry about as they don’t live long, and the thing to do is net vegies so they can’t stop and lay their eggs on them,” he said.

He said killing insects with insecticides usually backfired, with the “good” insects being killed and pollinators then not available for crops.

INDIGENOUS singer/performer Jess Hitchcock is known for her powerful voice and knack for storytelling through song across genres. Picture: Supplied

LAST CHANCE TO SAVE A LIFE

SBS, 8.40pm

Exploring untold Aussie stories, this award-winning series of standalone docos returned with a bang last week. After the anxiety of the pandemic, this week’s gripping feature strikes a nerve, wading into the rise of the superbug and the decline of antibiotics.

Patients, doctors and scientists are followed in this intimate exposé as a team of brilliant young scientists including Fernando Gordillo (pictured) undertake an unconventional possible solution called phage therapy.

A gloriously beautiful and grand 300-year-old mansion is the beguiling supporting character to the much-loved Detective Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, pictured) in the first of four postcard-worthy yet crime-riddled episodes that make up this veteran drama’s 24th season. In “The Devil’s Work” tonight, an unlikeable artist and his planned upheaval of his family’s magnificent historical estate sees more than just bad blood.

FRIDAY

CAROL

ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

In this complex human story about unspoken desire and social expectations, based on an ahead-of-its time lesbian novel by Patricia Highsmith, two women from very different backgrounds are drawn together in a tale of unlikely romance. It’s the 1950s and Rooney Mara is Therese, a salesperson working in a department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett, pictured), a glamorous, older woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. They explore their deep connection, and bravely follow their hearts, but come up against much controversy due to the attitude of the time.

GHOST MAX MAX CUSHION. MAX PROTECTION

After a splendid 11 seasons under its somewhat sweaty belt, this easy-on-theeye British whodunnit comedy returns with its 12th season. Ralf Little (pictured), the fourth star to take on the role of lead detective as Neville Parker, faces more than the traditional episodic crime to solve in this fresh batch of eight episodes; heartache and betrayal cast a shadow over the fictional sun-soaked Caribbean island of Saint Marie. This time, characters face challenges of more than the murderous norm. Tonight, it all begins when a celebrity astronomer is mysteriously felled during a once-in-alifetime planetary alignment. There’s also romance in the air for Neville.

READY for Sunday’s carnival at Scout Beach, Mornington, are, above, Sawyer Power (in lifebouy), Dan Power and Jess Bartlett. Right, raising the flag are Finn, Leo and Lewis.

Pictures: Gary sissons

Scouting on the beach SEA scouts from across the Mornington Peninsula will gather in Mornington this Sunday (18 February) as 2nd Mornington Sea Scouts hosts its inaugural carnival day at Scouts Beach.

Group leader Dan Power said the day would be packed with water and beach activities and would be a great chance for sea scouts to show their skills on a family-friendly day out.

“Our beach carnival will include a number of events - canoe and kayak regattas, beach activities, including beach sprints, obstacle course, sandcastle battle, wading, and more. Each

of these activities will be run in rounds via a knockout system - a bit of friendly competition,” he said.

Power said sea scouts was a way for young people to make friends, learn skills and stay active.

“We expect to have about 50 t0 70 young people, around 15 leaders, as well as the Lions club coming down, so It will be a great day,” he said.

The event will run from 9am to 1pm.

Mornington Sea Scouts has been part of the Mornington community since 1953.

Shire keeping off the grass Couch grass growing uncontrollably along the Esplanade walk at Mornington where the paid parking trial is underway is almost as tall as a fence. This is just one of many uncontrollable weed patches along this walk.

Ratepayers were promised that the paid parking trial was for the upkeep of our foreshore.

Really?

It certainly proves true that the proof is in the pudding.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has made a lot of money from the trial which none of us asked for.

The shire is certainly not maintaining anything.

The obvious question remains: What exactly is this shire spending this revenue money and rates on?

It is now evident that the shire has its own agenda and makes deals behind closed doors and certainly is not there to represent the best interests of constituents, the wildlife, the upkeep of our foreshore and all Victorians.

Let’s remember, all Victorians should be able to enjoy our beaches when on Crown Land. Victorian’s and locals alike should be not charged a cent on things that none of us are any wiser for the money spent nor asked for.

If this shire concentrated on roads, rates and rubbish, as it should, this would not be so contentious. Sadly, all trust, confidence and integrity has gone.

Felicity Benson , Mornington

‘Democracy in action’ I did not sign the non-disclosure document and was then asked to leave the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council room and did not vote for the Harry Potter event.

A decision that is even rightfully unpopular is not a reason to lose our democratic rights. It also does not mean that the council is dysfunctional.

We vote for our council representatives and will have another opportunity soon this October.

The lesson from this is to ensure transparency.

I have moved a number of motions to for greater transparency that have been defeated (Transparency backed, but ‘secret’ talks stay, The News 28/11/23).

We vote for representatives and trust that they will make good decisions. There will always be different opinions on the results.

An administrator is, in effect, a dictator, usually put in to balance the books but not put forward community positions or advocate on ratepayers’ behalf.

We have a solid, balanced budget.

We have fair debates with opportunities to put community views, there is room for improvement, and we make mistakes, but that is democracy in action.

David Gill, councillor Red Hill Ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire

A right to know With many others I am appalled at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s decision to permit the Harry Potter show at The Briars, and it was all done in secrecy under the cover of non-disclosure agreements. Residents have a right to know how this disgraceful decision came about and what can be done to prevent future repetitions.

One may ask if it is time for the shire to be replaced by an administrator, as has happened in other dysfunctional shires.

There must be many people who know the details of the agreement but are prevented from speaking for fear of prosecution. Could some legal-minded reader of this paper advise what such penalties may be?

Is it possible that some brave sole may be prepared to speak out if there were some way of providing support? Perhaps a public-minded benefactor or crowd funding. Is this being too optimistic?

Kevin Sack, Somers

Permit income Warner Brothers, Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Fever and IMG should pay for a permit for the use of public land, our land. (Permit Required, Letters 6/2/24). These corporations have a lot more money than you and I. The Harry Potter, A Forbidden Forest Experience should require one permit for every night from April to July.

Estimating from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s own base rate, putting on a function in one of

our parks begins at $1110 before any extras such as food van or a band.

What price should be charged for an event that requires 18 sheds, sound effects, electronic figures, portable toilets and generators? A conservative estimation would be $500,000 a night, over 120 nights (four months) would equal $6 million.

I, and most ratepayers, have lost trust in our councillors and how they spend our money.

Now that ratepayer money has been used to pay for these unwanted events, I suggest the permit fee of around $6 million be distributed back to the ratepayers in the form of a deduction in our rates. Councillors need to be reminded they are not entitled to use our hard-earned money to make secret deals behind closed doors.

Also, the new paid parking trial apparently to beautify and help with the up keep of our coast. Who has noticed the horrific amount of couch grass growing over a meter high up the trees along the path overlooking Mornington Yacht Club along the Esplanade? It is well and truly time for councillors to provide a detailed account of how they are spending our money.

More electric cars? More plush offices, more bureaucrats? Just what is this shire doing with our money besides secretive and dirty deals?

Ellen Bigelow, Blairgowrie

Outstanding questions When is a sanctuary not a sanctuary? It sounds like a question found in a children’s quiz book, does it not? Many Mornington Peninsula Shire council officials may not have read such a book and missed the clear thinking lessons imparted.

A sound and light assault on The Briars sanctuary is imminent (Potter sequel at the ballot box, The News 30/1/24).

The who, what, how and why questions are standing out like the proverbial dog’s bollocks.

As always when corporations infiltrate local government, the paper and money trails tell the story. And when details are buried in specious commercial non-disclosure fudging, you know the ratepayers are going to be stuck with any financial losses or fallout.

Or should I say, the fauna and flora that will be degraded and dislodged are the ones to pay the piper.

Perhaps a good place to start would be for the council to immediately disclose who approached whom: Warners asking or a council officer inviting.

If the latter, who was it, and who gave him/ her/they the right to do so?

Secondly, what degree of compensation are the ratepayers going to bear in relation to any and every facet of this abdication of community responsibility.

For a shire council continuing to perpetuate the perception that it is striving to be “open and transparent” - well , give us a break.

David Martin, Mount. Martha

‘Secret’ shock I was shocked to learn about the secret process behind the approval of the Harry Potter: Forbidden Forest event in the wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. Only “Event proposed” appeared in council agendae.

Councillors were required to sign non-disclosure agreements, otherwise were not permitted to have information. There was no competitive

element, so for what purpose other than secrecy?

The first knowledge was released a week before Christmas weekend on social media, not seen be everyone. How can I not conclude that the shire was attempting a fait accompli?

We heard, unrefuted, that environmental effects assessments without public consultation are invalid. I understand the exercise of wildlife protection powers is difficult because the sanctuary is owned by the shire. “Owned by the shire” does not mean owned by its employees, but owned by us, the ratepayers.

This happened in a shire “ … committed to the principles of public transparency” and “openness, accountability and honesty … for fully informed engagement … “. How can I not conclude that something has gone wrong with the culture among the shire employees and elected councillors who allowed this travesty?

My impression is that the employees are treating us ratepayers, and perhaps the councillors, with something less than respect. I only hope it is not contempt.

Councillors should insist that the event is not permitted in the sanctuary.

I call on the CEO to support the councillors in that and to require all employees to respect us ratepayers, the councillors and the democratic process.

I applaud your front-page article (Potter sequel at the ballot box, The News 30/1/24). If the violation of the sanctuary is permitted it must certainly be a major factor in the next election.

This is still a democracy.

Dickson Dalgleish, Mount Eliza

Proof is needed What information does Mornington Peninsula Shire or Warner Brothers have to say the Harry Potter event at The Briars will boost local business and, to use their words, “because people will stay a few days”?

As a local resident, ratepayer and business owner, I am very interested to know.

The Harry Potter event will be held at night when most shops are shut, and large part of the audience will be young kids on a school night.

When people on the peninsula go to see an evening show in Melbourne, we mostly drive back home afterwards. Isn’t it likely that visitors to an evening event at The Briars will do the same in reverse and drive home to Melbourne and beyond for work commitments and to get the kids in bed ready for the next day?

What facts and figures does the shire or Warner Brothers have to make this claim that the Harry Potter event will boost local business? Or is it just spin? An attempt to put lipstick on a pig of a decision that should not have been made in the first place.

(Facing up to climate change, The News 6/2/24).

The Climate Change Empowerment Handbook of the Australian Psychological Society lists eight strategies making the acronym ACTIVATE. The third strategy is “Talk about climate change and break the collective silence”, while the fourth strategy is “Inspire positive visions”.

It’s clear from Peter Orton’s report that the forum to be held on Thursday 29 February at the Peninsula Community Theatre includes both these key strategies. The group’s events page at peninsulavoice.org.au/our-events is well worth a visit.

Ray Peck, Hawthorn

Climate ‘normal’ Peninsula Voice convener Peter Orton wants us to do more to address climate change (Facing up to climate change, The News, 6/2/24).

He claims temperatures in Victoria have risen 1.2 degrees since 1910. Is that all? A few decades ago, climate change alarmists were talking about maybe 10 degrees hotter. The planet has warmed, it is claimed, 1.48 degrees since 1850.

Bushfires,, floods, droughts, heatwaves come and go. Always have, always will. Work with them. Don’t hold your breath in the expectation of being able to change the climate of a planet; exhale and let that carbon dioxide out.

Logic and science compel me to ask the question: Is the world temperature of 1850 held as the “normal” and fixed temperature of this planet?

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Rubbish idea A little idea - change recycling wheelie bins to transparent. That way, neighbours and passersby can see what rubbish many people put into that bin. Will that make an improvement?

Warwick Spinaze, Tootgarook

Credit where due

The date, 26 January, has caused a lot of damage to Australia’s reputation both here and abroad.

However, it is worth noting that this date holds historical significance as it marks the day in 1949 when Australia gained independence from British rule through the Nationality of Citizenship Act of 1948. This act granted freedom and protection to the First Nations People, who previously had no security or safeguard, and all Australians, old and new, the right to live under the protection of the “Australian Law”, united as one nation.

Unfortunately, this important aspect of Australia’s history has been overlooked.

While choosing an alternative date is possible, it is unlikely to appease everyone as there will always be individuals who disagree with the decision, regardless of the chosen date.

Anne Kruger, Rye

Liberal candidate for Dunkley, Nathan Conroy has been caught out taking credit for work done by the late MP, Peta Murphy, and for projects started before he was even mayor of Frankston.

Take for instance the fanciful claim that his leadership delivered the Jubilee Park stadium redevelopment. A redevelopment that was fully funded by three levels of government in 2018.

The late Peta Murphy MP announced this funding before Conroy was on council. On 27 October 2021.

The claim of delivering Langwarrin Football Netball Club is also highly controversial.

Frankston City Council’s own media release, New pavilion gets the green light as Lloyd Parks Jewel in the crown, was published on 8 July 2021.

Then mayor, Kris Bolam, said: ‘I’m pleased to give the news that this exceptional development will go ahead.”

Cr Suzette Taylor thanked the federal Labor government for the funding.

The late Peta Murphy MP was quoted as saying ‘“I’m very proud to support this terrific project that will also benefit the broader Langwarrin community”.

It took real leadership by many people to deliver these marathon projects.

I believe taking credit for the leadership provided by sporting clubs, former councillors and the late Peta Murphy MP is simply reprehensible.

For the first time ever, ratepayers in Frankston have no mayor, no deputy mayor, despite paying higher rates than people living in Toorak.

Council rates have gone up by the maximum amount for three years in a row and all locals have to show for it is a council in crisis.

Paul Edbrooke, MP for Frankston

Rudeness unacceptable

Bench marks

Date to remember

I believe that regardless of one’s political affiliation, it is unacceptable to be treated rudely at a public event (No welcome for MP, Letters 6/2/24). Such behaviour goes against the true Aussie spirit of who we are as a nation.

I am disappointed that such incidents as that during the recent flag raising ceremony in Mount Eliza take away from the essence of the event and hope that this will not happen again in the future.

Anne Kruger, Rye

Climate strategies It was heartening to read that the community group Peninsula Voice is providing a forum for residents to discuss and combat climate change

Isn’t it marvellous what a spell on the opposition benches does to ones view of the world. (Liberals add reserve to by-election issues, The News 6/2/24).

The Coalition spent most of the near decade it had in office staunchly defending the fossil fuel industry and doing as little as possible on climate change as it felt it could get away with.

In opposition, we have [Liberal leader] Peter Dutton suddenly finding a soft spot for whales that might run into an offshore wind turbine and now [Mornington MP] Chris Crewther has found an interest in retaining a reserve near the old reservoir in Kunyung Road, Mount Eliza. If they had shown this interest while in government they might still be there.

Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Electric Light Failure – Its Cause Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Saturday evening last a number of the public were somewhat inconvenienced by the failure of the electric light.

Our representative therefore at once proceeded to make inquiries as to the cause thereof.

The facts were as follows: On Saturday afternoon Mr. Findlay, of Melbourne Road, Frankston, had engaged some men to take down some large pine trees, about 5.45pm.

One of these fouled the high and low tension wires, breaking both, as a result of which the whole of the services became disorganised.

Mr. Quartermain, the Council’s manager, was at once apprised of the fact, and with commendable promptitude gathered his staff and commenced operations.

So well and quickly was this accomplished that by 8.40pm the whole of the services were restored.

Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the manager and his staff for their prompt action, only for which, being Saturday night, more serious consequences might have resulted.

The public are advised that when dealing with any matter that may affect the wires, they should always notify the Council’s officers, so that the necessary steps can be taken to prevent an accident. *** DESTRUCTION OF VERMIN On and after Wednesday, Feb. 20, the destruction of all vermin must be commenced, and carried out effectively.

A number of visitors were also present, including Mr. C. Long, M.A., of the Education Department, Mr. Jennings, Mesdames Roberson, Coxall, Amor, James, Evans, and Young (Somerville), Messrs. W. C. Young, L. Ward, J. McComb, and Cr. Gray.

Mr. Chapman, the head teacher, in his opening remarks, welcomed the visitors and scholars.

He pointed out that this was only an informal opening, as they have not been able to get the furniture and other school requirements in, but he hoped in about a week’s time to have a proper ceremony.

Mr. Long then addressed the children, and in a very fine discourse showed the children the advantages they had today, as compared with the boys and girls of his day, tracing the various stages by which this had been brought about.

He urged them to endeavour to do their utmost to show their appreciation of the efforts of those who were responsible – by their consistent efforts – for the establishment of the High School in Frankston.

Miss Broughton, B.A., Dip. Ed., who followed, made a few appropriate remarks, and thanked those present for the warmness of their welcome.

Cr. Gray followed in one of his characteristic speeches, in which he urged the scholars to endeavour by

their attention to their teachers to strive to reach the highest possible goal.

He also called upon the children to give three cheers for the success of the school.

These were heartily given.

Mr. Jennings said he was pleased to be with them, and would do all in his power to push other scholars on, so that the numbers attending the High School would be augmented.

Mr. J. McComb also spoke.

He told them of his early days at school, and pointed out the contrast today.

The ceremony concluded with three hearty cheers for the visitors, which were given by the scholars, at the request of Mr. Chapman. *** THE many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Watkins, Presbyterian Minister of Frankston, and his good wife, will be pleased to know that they are at present enjoying a well earned holiday at “Bethany House,” Myers Falls, Healesville, where they will be staying for the next two weeks.

We trust they will have fine weather, and an enjoyable time, and will thus be able to return to their noble task refreshed both in mind and body.

We know that the worthy gentleman and his good lady carry the best wishes of all who know them, in this district. *** THE many friends of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Scarborough, of Lyndhurst, and formerly of Frankston, will be pleased to hear that their daughter, Mrs. P. Cook, who is at present an inmate of a private hospital at Kerang, is now making good progress towards recovery after a

very severe illness.

We wish lier a speedy and complete recovery. *** MRS. H. C. Heymanson is at present staying at Frankston. House.

Mrs. Heymanson is well known to many of the residents here, being a frequent visitor.

She also took a very active part here during the war, and after, in helping the Wattle Club in entertaining the returned wounded soldiers. *** WE regret to learn that Mr. J. Lyle, of the Wells Street stores, is on the sick list. He was unable to attend business today, but hopes to be able to leave his room tomorrow. *** MRS. Price, of Frankston, who has been under treatment at Miss Creswick’s private hospital, is now stated to be progressing favourably. *** MISS Dorothy Watkins, daughter of Mr. W. E. Watkins, of Frankston, passed the examinations at the Presbyterian Ladies’ College with first class honors.

Her performance was all the more meritorious in view of the fact that she missed nearly three months tuition owing to illness. *** CHEVROLET UTILITY TRUCK Demonstrations in connection with the above will be conducted daily, up till Tuesday next at the Frankston Motor Garage.

Mr O. J. Olsen will personally conduct the trials. The model of Chevrolet under notice supplies a heavy truck,

About 500 members and friends attended, and were accompanied by the St. Kilda City Band, which discoursed sweet music the whole day through.

A programme of sports was run, and numerous games were indulged in, after which numbers of the picnickers proceeded to the beach and took advantage of the fine weather for a good time on the sands. *** HIGH SCHOOL MOTTO To the Editor.

Sir, As “The Standard” has done so much in assisting to establish the High School, I would crave space to offer a suggestion that I think will meet with the approval of its supporters.

My suggestion is that “The Standard” offer a prize, to be competed for by the residents of Frankston, for the most suitable “motto” for the High School.

Yours, etc., PATER. [We welcome the suggestion, and will consult with the Head Master. Ed. “The Standard.”] *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 13 & 15 Feb 1924

LACHIE Weber competed in the Snapper Point Regatta held over two days last weekend.

Nineteen-year-old old Lachie sails an ILCA 7, the Olympic Men’s class known previously as the Laser full rig, out of Mornington Yacht Club.

In late October he competed in his first Worlds, the ILCA 7 Under 21 in Morocco where he came 29th out of over 120, so in the top quarter of the world.

The summer has seen more success by achieving 1st Victorian under 21 at the State titles. A couple of months later, he was 1st Australian U21 at Nationals, knowing he’d won 3 days beforehand, as the only Australian U21, and only Victorian to make gold fleet.

In late January the ILCA 7 Open Worlds were held in Adelaide, where Lachie was the only Victorian, and one of only 2 Australian U21s to make silver fleet in a field stacked with international sailors trying to qualify for the Olympics this year.

Currently Lachie is working and looking for sponsorship to fund a trip to Europe to gain more experience in the competitive European ILCA circuit.

Skelly’s Langy off to a flyer SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie IF JAMIE Skelly thought about his debut as an NPL senior coach he’s unlikely to have imagined a more positive scenario.

It’s the second minute of the season opener and Skelly’s newlook Langwarrin is facing NPL heavyweight Bentleigh Greens at Lawton Park.

Luke Goulding sends a long ball forward and quicksilver Tom Youngs reads the defender’s intended header back to Greens keeper Andrew Withers.

Youngs nips in and wins the ball and Withers flattens him.

Referee Jackson Landy points to the spot, Youngs converts and it’s a dream start for Skelly’s men.

Five minutes later any remaining naysayers among the large crowd are silenced.

Young midfielder Jacob Brito is bodychecked wide on the right.

He takes the resultant free-kick and swings the ball into the area where big Lucas Portelli heads it in.

It’s 2-0 to Langy and the Greens are reeling.

The visitors never recovered.

Unable to put Langy keeper James Burgess under significant pressure and unable to break down a home team defence superbly marshalled by experienced recruit Luke Adams the Greens started this one as favourite but went back to Kingston Heath Soccer Complex a well-beaten side.

Langy full-backs Luke Goulding and Japanese recruit Ryo Takahashi had fine games but the standout was the central defensive pairing of Adams and Portelli.

And the use of four at the back was a significant departure from the five in defence so often seen at home games last season.

Skelly showed confidence in his players and a boldness in his selection of two 20-year-olds in midfield – Brito and Sri Lankan international Barath Suresh – to accompany captain and defensive midfielder Rogan McGeorge.

It’s been some time since Langy had such an experienced bench featuring as it did James Kelly, Callum Goulding and Charlie Fry. And Skelly’s counterpart, Greens boss David Chick, was the first to blink bringing on former Langy favourite Kieran Dover at half-time.

Eventually Chick would make five substitutions to no effect, get yellow carded along with his goalkeeping coach and watch with dismay as his

much lauded Swedish recruit Lars Anton Kanninder had a late (and highly questionable) penalty saved by Burgess.

But Portelli had Kanninder in his back pocket long before that and Langy had put the result out of the Greens’ reach in the 57th minute.

Suresh quickly played the ball to Youngs who motored towards the Greens’ area.

Youngs struck a low shot that Withers parried into the path of Brad Blumenthal and he couldn’t say no to such a generous offering.

In the midst of the euphoria that engulfed Lawton Park at the final whistle last Saturday evening there also was pragmatism, a realisation that just one small step in a season-long journey had been taken.

The setting is the same this Friday evening but the opponent is different and the history between Langwarrin and Eastern Lions should ensure a good crowd and a lively contest.

Eastern Lions is coached by former Langy striker Chris Greechan but it’s

unlikely that a welcome home sign will be posted in his honour at the entrance to the complex.

Friday’s match kicks off at 7.30pm.

The under-23s clash will take place on Saturday 17 February at Lawton Park starting at 12.30pm.

Here are last weekend’s Dockerty Cup/Australia Cup results: Mount Eliza 3 South Yarra 0 (forfeit); Aspendale 3 (Dominic Paul, Ben Garside, James Macnab) Knox Utd 4 AET; Chelsea 4 (James Stinson 2, Adam Bartosy, Lachie Davies) Alphington 0; Lyndale Utd 4 Mount Martha 0; Westside Strikers Caroline Springs 1 Mentone 1 (Marcus Spivey) AET WSCS won 10-9 on penalties; East Kew 8 Seaford Utd 1 (Ayuen Leuth); Rosebud 0 Greenvale Utd 2; Shepparton South 0 Baxter 1 (Ryan Brown).

Eight local clubs took part in the first prelim round of the nationwide competition and just three progressed to round two.

Chelsea was an impressive winner with English striker James Stinson adding to his growing reputation with an-

other double while South Yarra was a no-show giving Mount Eliza automatic qualification to the next round.

Baxter was undaunted by a 500km round-trip on Sunday to face Shepparton South in oppressively hot conditions and returned to the peninsula a 1-0 winner.

The decisive moment came in the 72nd minute when an Aleks Dukic corner was headed in at the back post by Ryan Brown who joined Baxter from Somerville a few weeks ago.

Of the local losers an undermanned Rosebud proved ineffective in attack against Greenvale United which featured some talented Timorese players.

But the ’Buds are expected to solve their problems up front shortly and former Mornington and Baxter signing Nathan Yule will be part of that solution.

Here are the results of some local friendlies: Doveton 2 Mornington 3 (Rory Currie 2, Conor Wharton); Dandenong South 1 Peninsula Strikers 0; Peninsula Strikers reserves 1 (Jai Power) Doveton

U23s 1; Somerville Eagles 5 (Marcus Anastasiou 4, Joe Simmons) Monash Villareal 1; Casey Comets 2 Skye Utd 2 (Shaber Noor, Keita loka); Beaumaris 0 Mornington 3 (Rory Currie, Ryan Paczkowski, Conor Wharton).

Mornington has shown impressive form with wins against VPL2 clubs Doveton and Beaumaris in the past week while clinical finishing and a four-goal haul for Marcus Anastasiou underpinned Somerville’s 5-1 win over Monash Villareal on Saturday.

The scoreline suggests that the Eagles were well on top but it was a very competitive contest.

Tom Hennessy brought down the Monash winger early in the clash and the visitors converted the resulting penalty.

Somerville didn’t stay behind for long when Marcus Anastasiou was brought down in the box after a brilliant nutmeg on the Monash full-back and converted a penalty of his own.

The penalty drama continued when Joe Simmons was felled off the ball after Monash’s keeper had already collected an over-hit pass and Anastasiou converted his second penalty to give the Eagles a 2-1 half-time lead.

Within minutes of the second-half restart Sommie was at it again.

After some nice link-up play down the left Anastasiou cut back a cross to the edge of the box where Joe Simmons smashed the ball home first time into the top corner.

Anastasiou once again found himself on goal not long after when a perfect through ball from Eli Masterson allowed him to complete his hat-trick.

But Anastasiou wasn’t done for the day and he broke down the right and played what seemed to be an attempted cross which managed to hit the back of the net to complete the scoreline.

Here are some upcoming friendlies: Friday 16 February: Lyndale Utd v Rosebud, Lyndale Secondary College, 6.30pm & 8.30pm.

Saturday 17 February: Mornington v Nunawading City, Mahoneys Reserve, seniors 10am, reserves 12.30pm; Corio v Peninsula Strikers, Hume Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Gippsland Utd v Skye Utd, Baxter Park, Warragul, 3pm & 5pm; Bundoora Utd v Frankston Pines, Hillsview Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Baxter v Sandringham, Baxter Park, 3pm & 5pm; Casey Panthers v Chelsea, Prospect Hill Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Somerville Eagles v Lilydale Montrose Utd, Westernport Athletics Track, 1pm & 3pm; Mount Martha v Mentone, Civic Reserve, 1pm & 3pm.
