EXTREME WEATHER
Extreme weather (very high winds) on 24 June provided an excellent test for the Shire ‟s people and systems, as well as contract partners and other agencies as together we responded to more than 700 requests for assistance.
It is important to acknowledge the front-line work undertaken by Shire staff and contractors, CFA and SES volunteers, as well as Victorian Police and other agencies. Well trained and well prepared response teams dealt with an enormous workload, focusing initially on safety, with falling trees creating many safety risks on roads and other locations, followed by the need for extensive recovery, repair and clean-up.
In an extraordinary irony, Shire emergency services and other agencies were participating that day in
„Exercise Moonah‟, a simulation of an emergency situation to test response capability. When the power went off at the „MECC‟ (Municipal Emergency Co-ordination Centre) at our Shire office at
Mornington, participants were impressed with the extent of the „simulation‟.
In fact the „power off‟ was real, and it became necessary to defer the simulation so that all services could respond to the „real emergency‟.
A simulation exercise will be undertaken in coming months, hopefully without a storm!
ADVOCACY
Advocacy to State and Commonwealth governments, in relation to policy that impacts on our community, and funding for important programs/projects, is an essential element of Council ‟s work.
In June:

Meetings with Commonwealth Ministers secured commitment to Commonwealth participation in a future of Manufacturing Forum, with significant funding available for manufacturers in our region, adapting to the changing economic environment, including the ceasing of car manufacturing in Australia

The State government agreed to establish a Community Infrastructure Fund with a specific allocation for Interface Councils (our shire is an Interface Council).
BUDGET ADOPTION
The 2014/15 budget was adopted by Council on Monday 30 June following extensive community engagement, Councillor Briefings and a thorough Section 223 process. Feedback from Councillors and the community has been that this year ‟s process has been very inclusive and that the pre- budget engagement initiative was a positive addition to the process. Preparation of the annual budget is a complex and time consuming task, commencing in November of the previous year and involving all teams in the organisation. Now that the budget has been adopted by Council, team members are focussing on their key objectives and projects for the new financial year.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 3

DRIVING RESPONSIVENESS, INNOVATION AND PRODUCTIVITY (DRIP)
The Shire is committed to enhancing the responsiveness and value-for-money of all of its services, through a relentless focus on innovation and improving productivity. Some of this month
‟s highlights are summarised here:
Drink Driving Prevention Initiative
The Shire attended this year ‟s Mornington Peninsula
Vigneron s‟ Winter Wine Weekend event and along with
RoadSafe SouthEast, provided over 1500 free alcohol breath-tests to the attendees enjoying the wine tastings, and also provided free meals and non-alcoholic drink vouchers to all nominated designated drivers.
The program successfully discourages attendees driving from the venue who are “over the limit” and provides several alternative transport methods. VicPolice run an extensive drink driving operation in the area and over the last five years of the program they have not recorded a positive breath test from a driver leaving the event.
School Focused Youth Service (SFYS)
The Shire, along with Peninsula Health has brought together, in a partnership project, the
“Peninsula Model”, “Frankston Better Youth Service Project”, Mission Australia and the Info X
Change to work with the Shire to create an electronic youth services directory including a smart phone and tablet app for the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston. This broad partnership ensures the directory is an all encompassing valuable resource for our youth and those working to assist youth.
New Referral Process for Child and Family Health Services
The Shire and the Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre (SPCSIC) have partnered in the development of a referral process for use by volunteers working at SPCSIC to provide improved access to Maternal and Child Health Services for families presenting at SPCSIC.
The volunteers are utilising the referral process with positive results for the families they are supporting. To progress this initiative across the Mornington Peninsula, the Shire will approach both the Mornington and Western Port Community Support and Information Centres to establish similar processes.
Little Free Library
The “Little Free Library” was launched this month, an initiative involving both the Shire and the
Mount Eliza Chamber of Commerce. The library, an outdoor weatherproof letter box situated on the Mount Eliza Village Green, is stocked with books from Our Library for children and parents to read on the green, or take home and to leave their own books to share with others. The project offers a unique approach to promoting literacy within the community.
Procurement Process
The Shire has secured significant savings in the renegotiation of our Microsoft Product
Maintenance agreement. Through the MAV procurement process, a “group buying scheme” for local government, significant savings and a fixed price for three years were achieved. In effect, the cost of Microsoft products to the Shire will have only increased by 1% over six years despite a 10% increase in user numbers and an increase in server based products such as email and database access.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 4

Bowls for All Ages
The Shire met with Bowls Australia to discuss innovations to make bowls more accessible to Shire residents through new initiatives such as “Jack Attack” – a version of bowls for people interested in bowling socially rather than formal competition, and “Junior Jack Attack”, which encourages school age children and schools to participate in the sport of lawn bowls. Introducing these programs will encourage a greater uptake of people of all ages playing sport.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Active, direct engagement with local communities is an essential element of Council ‟s policy development and implementation, and service delivery and community support. Some of this month ‟s highlights are summarised here:
Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders (PACE) on Air
A new radio program, PACE On Air; Ageing Well on the Peninsula was launched this month as a direct outcome of the Shire ‟s Positive Ageing Strategy, A Community for all Ages .
Partnering with local service providers, the PACE on
Air program on local radio station 3RPP will address the eight key positive ageing outcomes identified in the Positive Ageing
Strategy; transport, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, community and health services, and outdoor spaces and buildings. The program will be presented from a local perspective with discussion, research and information on local issues relevant to Peninsula residents.
Congratulations on the HART Award – Runner
Up!
The Shire has been named as a runner up in the first ever HART (Helping Achieve Reconciliation
Together) Awards. The awards are a partnership between Victorian Local Governance Association and Reconciliation Victoria and they aim to recognise the great and varied work happening in local governments and community organisations that contribute to local reconciliation outcomes.
Community and Service Group Get Together
A community forum showcasing local service and community groups was held at the Shire offices in Mornington. The community groups were each provided an opportunity to set up individual displays and provide guest speakers to present on the services they provide to the community.
Over 100 people attended and were complimentary of the get together and encouraged future development of the event.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 5

Online eResources Training
Library customers embraced new technologies during 24 „Making it Click” training sessions held across our Libraries this month. The hands on, active sessions are designed to assist customers to make the best use of our website and access online resources such as downloading eBooks, eTalking Books, databases and eLearning.
In addition, a tailored information session for the Mornington PC Users Group – Genealogy Section was attended by over 30 participants at the Mornington Library.
“Have Your Say” Day – Mornington Park
The successful “Have Your Say” day at the Currawong Centre in Mornington Park was attended by over 150 participants. The event provided a forum for local community members to voice their views and ideas on issues particular to the area. Questionnaires pertaining to the Mornington Park and surrounding residential areas were also completed by 60 participants and will inform the establishment of a reside nt‟s advisory group to discuss the issues raised and to assist in the planning of forward actions.
Peninsula Safer Speeds
The next phase of Peninsula SaferSpeeds has commenced with feedback sought from attendees during the Mornington Park “Have
Your Say ‟ day. Local community members at the event engaged in discussion with Councillors and Shire officers and shared their thoughts and ideas on traffic and road safety issues relevant to the area. The feedback will be used to inform the next steps of the Safer
Speeds project.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 6

Keeping Older Drivers Safe and Mobile
Over 100 seniors from the Rosebud area attended a Road
Safety Education session that covered topics including changes to road rules, driving and medications, occupational driving assessments and buying a safe car.
The event also included presentations by VicRoads and the
Victoria Police.
Municipal Waste Management Strategy Review
The community engagement process undertaken as part of the review of the Shire ‟s Waste Management Plan has generated considerable detailed information which is now being analysed. The unique engagement process required participants to commit to two evenings and as a result, the inputs received are providing deeper and broader comments. The information gathered will assist the Shire in its commitment to providing the community with sustainable and cost effective waste management and recycling services.
Message in a Bottle Program
Over 160 students from Red Hill and Rosebud Primary schools participated in the Message in a
Bottle program which opened this month at the Shire
‟s Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery.
The program brings together local students and communities with students and communities from other locations around Victoria. Linking with gallery exhibitions and resources, the program encourages effective communication and exchange partnerships that explore notions of identity, place, community and environment through creative activities with an emphasis on new technologies that support and enable improved student learning outcomes.
After accommodating a range of cost impacts of events or circumstances that arose during the year (e.g. reduced revenue from waste to landfill, increased green waste processing costs, increased Workcover premium), we expect, as in previous years, to deliver a surplus.
Year end accounting entries are still being finalised. These may impact on the year to date position shown in 30 June Financial Statement on Page 1 of this report. Once year end processes are finalised, it is expected that we will achieve our overall budget outcome including an underlying surplus.

ACTIVITY CENTRE PLANNING
Mornington Activity Centre Structure Plan
The Mornington Activity Centre Structure Plan was adopted by Council in 2007 and is available on the Council website. The Planning Scheme includes key provisions of the Structure Plan, including mandatory height limits in different areas of the centre. A Streetscape Framework Plan was developed in 2009 and further streetscape improvements have occurred in the area, better linking the commercial centre to the foreshore.
Update: The focus is now on further implementation of the Structure Plan. A major current implementation project relates to the improvement of the laneways that connect Main Street with the car parking areas at the rear of the Main Street shops. Refer to the Urban Design section of this report for further details.
Rosebud Activity Centre Structure Plan
The Rosebud Activity Centre Structure Plan and Urban Design Framework were adopted by
Council at the Council meeting on 24 September 2012, and are available on the Council website.
The Rosebud Structure Plan and UDF include the establishment of a new “heart” precinct, which extends from Wannaeue Place, through Ninth Avenue and across Point Nepean Road to a new civic space on the foreshore. The purpose of this element is to provide a clear destination point within the commercial centre, and improved connections between the centre and the adjoining foreshore reserve .
Update: At its meeting on 12 March 2013, Council passed a number of resolutions relevant to the Rosebud Activity Centre Structure Plan and these matters are currently under investigation.
Hastings Activity Centre Structure Plan
The Hastings Activity Centre structure plan is intended to review and update plans for the Hastings
Major Activity Centre in consultation with the community and stakeholders. Development of the structure plan is being coordinated with preparation of the Hastings South Coastal Management
Plan.
A Draft Hastings Town Centre Structure Plan has been completed with assistance from planning consultant firm Planisphere.
Although there have been delays in the preparation of the Structure Plan, work on the Hastings
Centre has already been undertaken through progressive implementation of the long term traffic management plan and the approval of Amendment C91 which has provided additional land for commercial development and associated development contributions to provide for improved public spaces.
Update: On 26 May 2014 Council resolved to commence the public exhibition and consultation process for the draft Hastings Activity Centre Structure Plan. The draft Plan is currently available on Counc il’s website and formal exhibition will commence in July following printing of the draft document.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 2

HOUSING, NEIGHBOURHOOD CHARACTER AND SETTLEMENT PLANNING
Housing Growth Requirements Program
The Housing Growth Requirements Program was established by the Department of Planning and
Community Development (now DTPLI) in the context of population growth rates which were significantly higher than those projected in the Melbourne 2030 strategy. The program was intended to consist of three main stages:
• Assessment of the housing capacity of each metropolitan municipality. Consultants acting for
DPCD (SGS Consultants) were appointed to complete a housing capacity assessment for each municipality in accordance with a standard methodology. This assessment was to include an analysis of previous housing development patterns, market trends and future opportunities and constraints. The methodology includes a category for townships and rural communities (separate from urban Melbourne) that covers the majority of the Peninsula.
Preliminary Housing Development Data (2004 – 2008) was released in April 2011.
• DPCD setting housing growth requirements for each metropolitan municipality based on the capacity assessment and demand trends.
•
Development of a framework to deliver on the requirements, including local housing strategies that facilitate housing development and diversity.
Housing growth requirements were intended to be considered in the preparation of municipal housing strategies and any associated planning scheme amendments.
It is understood that draft Housing Capacity Assessment Options were produced, which focused on ways to influence future housing supply and to test the influence of alternative planning frameworks and changes to infrastructure provision on future housing capacity and supply. However, this work has not been released.
The new metropolitan planning strategy PLAN MELBOURNE, released on 19 May 2014, anticipates significant population growth and housing demand over the next 30 years. This strategy, and the current residential zones conversion project, both highlight the continuing need for significant work on future housing provision.
Update: DTPLI provided a report on Housing Development Data to the Residential Zones
Standing Advisory Committee in respect of Planning Scheme Amendment C179 –
Residential Zones Conversion. However, it did not contain the detailed targets and options that were originally envisaged under the Housing Growth Requirements Program. It is anticipated that further work on housing demand and supply at the State level will be led by the new Metropolitan Planning Authority.
Review of the Low Density Residential Zone (LDRZ)
DPCD previously provided a grant of $35,000 for work on housing related issues. This grant has been used to support a review of the Low Density Residential Zone (LDRZ) across the Shire.
Update: Consultants have submitted a final draft which will be reviewed in conjunction with the preparation of the Local Housing and Sustainable Settlement Strategy (see below).
Local Housing and Sustainable Settlement Strategy
The Local Housing and Sustainable Settlement Strategy (LHSSS) was intended to follow on from the State government ’s Housing Growth Requirements project (discussed above), and to provide a more detailed examination of housing issues, needs and trends at the local level.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 3

However, having regard to change in approach by the State government outlined above, including the introduction of new residential zones and the recent release of Ministerial Direction No.16 on the implementation of the new residential zones (refer DTPLI website), it is considered appropriate to proceed with work on the LHSSS. It is also important to emphasize that the Mornington
Peninsula Shire does already have a clear housing strategy, which is contained within the
Municipal Strategic Statement and expressed through the policies and zoning provisions of the
Planning Scheme.
In this context, the intention of the overall LHSSS project is to provide a coordinated review of housing with other key factors which affect the sustainability and livability of settlements, including access to employment, the availability of transport services, the availability of open space and recreation areas, the demand for community facilities etc. This is consistent with the approach being taken by the Green Building Council of Australia ’s new (Green Star) rating guidelines on community level sustainability.
The LHSSS will also need to address the key issues of housing availability, appropriate design and affordability. In practice it will also need to identify areas with greater and lesser capacity to absorb changes in housing stock, both in terms of infrastructure capacity and neighbourhood character.
Refer to the Shire website for further details: http://www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/files/3fb4993f-56fb-
4959-9127-a1a500e01b08/Housing_Growth_Sustainability_Fact_File.pdf
Update: Work on the LHSSS is in progress, with demographic and housing trend information provided by iD Consulting and economic and employment profiles provided through REMPLAN consultants. It is anticipated that Amendment C179, the Shire ’s proposed residential zone conversions, will be considered by the Minister for Planning within the next two months.
Neighbourhood Character Program
The neighborhood character program involves a number of elements that are directed towards increasing the recognition of neighbourhood character and giving effect to the local area character policy within the planning scheme. The main elements include:
• Pilot character studies, intended to test character study methodologies. A pilot study for the
Beleura Hill Area in Mornington has commenced.
• A general policy to complement Clause 54, 55 and 56 (Rescode provisions). A draft has been completed and will be considered as part of a future planning scheme amendment.
• Gap analysis/cutting red tape – intended to identify areas under development pressure or where current provisions require revision. This is an ongoing process.
• Local Planning Scheme amendments. Amendments for the Crib Point area (C163) have recently been completed and an amendment for the Mount Eliza Woodland Area (C162) is in progress – see the Amendment section of this report for details.
• Investigation Areas – as part of the zone conversion process Council has identified a number of areas where there is an apparent case for use of the Neighbourhood Residential Zone and a higher level of control than provided under the statewide Rescode provisions. Initial work has commenced on a review of these investigation areas.
• Coordination with the Local Housing and Settlement Strategy. In assessing future housing capacity, attention will be given to the ability of each area to absorb change without significant loss of character or the ability to achieve a preferred future character.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 4

• The preparation of Site Context and Design Response guidelines. The current planning scheme provisions emphasize the analysis and assessment of the existing context as an important factor in the design of new development which respects neighbourhood character.
A weakness of the current system is the variability and limited depth of context analysis. The proposed guidelines aim to address this problem and will provide a more rigorous assessment framework (see item under Urban Design section of this report).
Update: Tract Consultants have been appointed to complete the Beleura Hill
Neighbourhood Character Study. The consultants have completed draft Design
Guidelines. The draft Design Guidelines will be presented to Council on 14 July 2014 with a recommendation to commence a further public exhibition and consultation process.
Hansen consultants have been appointed to undertake work in relation to neighbourhood character assessment and the development of appropriate planning scheme provisions for three Investigation areas (in parts of Bittern, Mount Martha and Dromana), identified as part of Council ’s residential zone conversion proposals.
Sorrento Township Planning
Following the formation of the Sorrento Township Planning and Consultative Committee (STPCC),
Council officers have provided support for community based planning activities, focused primarily on the development of a vision for the Sorrento township and an action plan to address a range of issues, including development and landscaping guidelines which reflect the historic seaside character of the town, traffic and parking management, and the future of the Morce Avenue area.
The STPCC is also aware of the demographic and population distribution trends which will shape communities into the future and seeks, in the longer term, to develop policies which will produce a more balanced and sustainable community profile in Sorrento.
Council has expressed support for the work undertaken to date on a draft streetscape concept plan
(prepared by Hansen Partnership) and has recommended investigation of available implementation options, emphasising however that there is no commitment to funding capital works outside of the annual budget assessment process.
Update: The construction of (Stage 1 of) Darling Plaza, one of the key elements of the streetscape concept plan, has recently been completed and the Sorrento Post Office building has recently been included in the Sorrento Historic Precinct Policy as a specific contributory building.
Crib Point Township Plan
Council, in conjunction with Hansen Partnership, Barraco Wright and NMBW Architects has prepared a township plan and design framework for the Crib Point Township, having particular regard to:
• the increasing number of multi-unit applications in the Crib Point area, with the potential to have an adverse impact on the neighbourhood character of the township;
• the cumulative loss of vegetation within the township;
• the limited range of retail and other services within the town;
• possible changes as a result of the Port of Hastings Strategy;
• the possible location of the Otama submarine at Crib Point (Stony Point).
Following completion of the draft Township Plan in December 2012, Council considered a complementary draft planning scheme amendment (C163), which proposes the introduction of three new Design and Development Overlays (two for residential areas and one for the commercial area) and a Vegetation Protection Overlay over the whole of the township residential area.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 5

While the VPO has been approved and the DDO provisions have been adopted and referred to the
Minister for Planning for approval, the introduction of the Crib Point Township Plan as a reference document (C163 part 3) has been deferred pending further consultation with key port planning agencies, including the Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA).
Update: Discussions with PoHDA are continuing.
Bittern Community Consultation
Council has completed a community consultation project focused on the Bittern township, seeking community input on local issues and opportunities. Communication consultants, Collective
Possibilities assisted in the project which included a number of focus group sessions, interviews
(vox pops) at the Community Market and a consultation “summit” which was held at the Bittern
Hall. The input received through this project will assist in the development of a number of projects in Bittern subject to further community consultation.
Update: A report outlining the project and its outcomes was presented to the Council meeting on 26 May 2014. As noted above, a small part of the Bittern township has been identified as an Investigation Area as part of the Residential Zone conversion process and work has recently commenced to assess this area and develop appropriate planning scheme provisions.
GREEN WEDGE PLANNING
Green Wedge Management Plan (GWMP)
The Green Wedge Management Plan (GWMP) is intended to provide for the integrated land use planning and land management of the green wedge. The project is supported by a Community
Reference Group and a Technical Reference Group of government agencies. The State government has also established a Peri-Urban planning unit which is responsible for green wedge management plans at state level.
In June 2011, Council adopted an interim policy in relation to Dwellings in Rural Areas which is used to guide decision making by officers under delegation. Recent discussions with the Port
Phillip and Western Port Catchment Management Authority regarding the current preparation of the
Regional Catchment Strategy have also indicated significant opportunities for coordination with the
Green Wedge Management Plan.
In the context of the Minister ’s zone reforms (see below), the consultation that has been undertaken through the Plan Peninsula process and the preparation of the Peninsula Planning
Statement, it was considered appropriate for Council to adopt an interim Green Wedge
Management Plan to reflect Counci l’s existing policy positions.
Council adopted the Interim Green Wedge Management Plan in September 2012.
Update: The interim Green Wedge Management Plan will be subject to community consultation and review following release by the Minister for Planning of the Mornington
Peninsula Planning Statement, which is expected to occur by mid 2014.
PORT AREA PLANNING
The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has consistently supported the further development of the
Port of Hastings in principle. However, this support has been conditional on satisfactory resolution of the issues raised by the community, particularly ensuring that Hastings is further developed as an environmentally sustainable “green port”, and that the necessary transport infrastructure is
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 6

provided ahead of demand to avoid adverse traffic and rail transport impacts on the Shir e’s townships. The business case should also clearly identify the economic benefits to the Shire and the south east region.
Further planning for port area development is ongoing, with the Port of Hastings Development
Authority (PoHDA) established in January 2012 as a state owned enterprise, with Mr. Yehudi
Blacher as the inaugural board chair and Mr. Michael Lean as the CEO of the Authority. The primary role of PoHDA is to advance planning for Hastings as a major container port, including more detailed environmental, social and economic investigations.
The State government has also indicated that, due to congestion issues affecting the Port of
Melbourne and growing freight demand, it will be necessary to bring forward development of the
Port of Hastings by approx 10 years, with an estimated cost of approx $9.4 billion.
In August, 2013 the State government released the Victorian Freight and Logistics Plan (Victoria – the Freight State), which emphasizes the importance of freight movement to Victor ia’s economy.
This plan confirms the projected growth of containerized imports and exports (quadrupling over the next forty years), and the critical role of the Port of Hastings in meeting this demand. The report also highlights the need for significant investment in road and rail infrastructure as part of an integrated freight and logistics system.
Update: PoHDA are currently undertaking a range of social, economic and environmental background studies as part of the development of the Strategy.
Earlier this year, the Minister for Planning approved a new Port Zone for use throughout
Victoria and DTPLI is now considering where it should be applied. A report regarding the new Port Zone was considered by Council at the meeting on 24 February 2014 and a submission was lodged with DTPLI advocating Council ’s position.
PoHDA has also recently announced the establishment of a community consultation program, referred to as “PORTicipate”, which has included the establishment of three groups representing the Community, Environment and Business.
Finally, the Port of Hastings expansion project has been declared as a project under the
Major Transport Projects Facilitation Act 2009, which defines the project assessment process, including opportunities for public input. Further information is available on the
PoHDA website: http://www.portofhastings.com
Peninsula Link (Frankston Bypass)
Peninsula Link, a freeway standard road from the southern end of the East Link freeway which provides a bypass around central Frankston and connects to the existing Mornington Peninsula freeway north of Dromana, was opened in January 2013. The road extends through Baxter and the Moorooduc Plain, with major intersections at Bungower Road and Mornington Tyabb Road.
A Community Advisory Group has been established to provide a forum for ongoing community input into the project. Representatives on the Community Advisory Group include Councillor Anne
Shaw. Further information is available on the Peninsula Link website: http://www.peninsulalink.com.au/NewPage.aspx
Update: Large scale vegetation offsets relating to the Peninsula Link project are being implemented on a 195 ha. portion of a private property at Boneo Park, West Rosebud, which forms part of the Tootgarook Wetlands, through a Trust for Nature covenant registered on the property title.
Implementation of the vegetation offsets at Boneo Park is now into year two of a ten year plan, with associated extensive onground works and monitoring. The owner of this land is
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 7

also negotiating with other town planning permit holders to accommodate further vegetation offsets arising from approved development nearby.
The Linking Melbourne Authority (LMA) is still to finalise the disposal of surplus land and prepare the required planning scheme amendment. Council has previously written to the
LMA indicating its position in regard to surplus land i.e. the need to avoid the creation of additional substandard lots in the Green Wedge.
Peninsula Link twin freeway service centres
The Minister for Planning approved Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme Amendment C195 to provide a site specific approval for Peninsula Link twin freeway service centres without public exhibition. Reports were made to Council about this matter on 24 February 2014 and 28 April
2014 and, in summary, Council resolved to request the Minister to “undo” this approval.
Update: Awaiting the Minister ’s response to Council’s request for an amendment of the
Planning Scheme to “undo” Amendment C195.
In the interim, due to Counc il’s responsibilities under the Planning and Environment Act, the plans required under the Minister ’s approval have recently been assessed and endorsed, in effect enabling works on site to commence. However, it has been emphasized that Council continues to seek a review by the Minister.
PLANNING SYSTEM
Review of the Victorian Planning System
The Minister for Planning has established an Advisory Committee to review the planning system in
Victoria. The Committee report and the Government ’s response can be viewed at: http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/ data/assets/word_doc/0014/105611/Govt-Response-to-
Recommendations-Accessible-Word-version.doc
In summary, the report supports the preparation of a new Planning Act over the longer term and a review of the Victoria Planning Provisions in the short term, including the roles of the Municipal
Strategic Statement and Local policies.
The report proposes more emphasis on Local Government ’s role in strategic planning. It also supports greater efficiency in the planning scheme amendment process, including the “streaming” of planning scheme amendments with a review of the number of decision points and earlier advice in the process from a Panel. The ability of Councils to refuse/abandon planning scheme amendments is not affected.
The report also seeks to reduce permit triggers and to provide for more delegation and streaming of permit applications, with revised notice provisions. The use of Code based assessment for relatively simple proposals appears to be a high priority.
Update: Implementation of the Committee ’s recommendations has commenced with:
•
The introduction of the Planning and Environment Amendment (General) Act 2012 on
28 October 2013.
•
Ministerial Direction 15 - provides timeframes for (some) steps in the planning scheme amendment process.
• DTPLI has proposed that caravan annexes be exempted from the need for a planning permit and is seeking comment from Shire officers. This exemption does not apply to land zoned PPRZ or PCRZ.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 8

Still outstanding:
•
Actions to reduce the backlog of cases and waiting time at VCAT.
• A review of the adequacy of the current schedule of application fees.
• Code assessment process for straight forward, low impact permit applications
(VicSmart) to be implemented through Planning Scheme amendments.
Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Strategy – PLAN MELBOURNE
In July 2012, the State government commenced the preparation of a new metropolitan planning strategy to manage Melbour ne’s growth and change. Details are available on the dedicated website: http://www.planmelbourne.vic.gov.au/ .
The strategy is intended to “re-shape Melbourne” in response to the issues and pressures that arise from both an increasing population (growing from 4.5 million to more than 6 million over the next 30 years) and global economic competition.
The draft Strategy, known as PLAN MELBOURNE, was released for public comment on 9 October
2013, with submissions closing on Friday 6 December 2013.
The draft Strategy is based around ten key themes including people, housing, transport, environment, economy, communities, freight, infrastructure, regional areas and peri-urban areas.
The strategy indicates an increased focus (both in terms of planning and investment) on key employment clusters, aiming to achieve a pattern of future development which is both more sustainable (reducing travel times – as expressed in the aim of a “20 minute city”) and more economically effective (supporting growth in areas which are already competitive, and promoting economies of scale and agglomeration). The strategy is also intended to contribute to the overall vision for the State, complementing and linking with regional growth plans.
In addition to the release of the draft Strategy, the State government has announced the formation of the Metropolitan Planning Authority, enlarging and expanding the Growth Areas Authority which has been responsible for planning and infrastructure coordination in Melbour ne’s outer growth areas. The new MPA is intended to work with five sub-regional groups of Councils (with the
Mornington Peninsula in the southern sub-region) to implement the new Metropolitan Strategy.
Update: The Minister released the finalised PLAN MELBOURNE on 19 May 2014.
A State wide planning scheme amendment VC106, was approved by the Minister on 30 May
2014, formally replacing all references to the previous Melbourne 2030 strategy with a requirement that, where relevant, planning and responsible authorities must consider and apply the strategy: Plan Melbourne: Metropolitan Planning Strategy ( DTPLI 2014).
Review of the State Planning Policy Framework
The State Planning Policy Framework (SPPF) Review Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) has been appointed by the Minister for Planning to review the SPPF. The Advisory Committee has been consulting about a revised format that integrates the SPPF with the Local Planning Policy
Framework (LPPF), so that for each topic the State policy is immediately followed by any related regional policy and then any related local policy. This would replace the existing format, where the existing SPPF, containing all State policy, is followed by a separate LPPF (containing the Municipal
Strategic Statement and all Local Policies).
The aim is to put all policy regarding a particular issue or theme, whether State or local, in one location in the planning scheme rather than to require cross referencing between State and local sections. It is also intended to introduce additional policy mapping, although this aspect has not been fully developed at this stage. The revised policy section of the planning scheme will simply be referred to as the Planning Policy Framework (PPF).
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 9

To date the Advisory Committee has mainly sought technical submissions (e.g. in relation to format rather than policy content) with a number of workshops and forums targeted at various stakeholders. Council has made an earlier submission on the matter and there has been officer participation at two workshops.
Update: A report in response to the SPPF Review Advisory Committee ’s draft PPF was presented at the Council meeting on 12 May 2014 and a submission has been lodged in accordance with the Council resolution.
Zone Reform Program
In July 2013 the Minister for Planning announced the approval of the new “reformed” residential, commercial and industrial zones. The new commercial and industrial zones were introduced on
15 July (via Amendment VC100), however Councils were given approx 12 months (until July 2014) to determine most appropriate use of the new residential zones. The new rural and Green Wedge
Zones were released by the Minister on 15 August 2013 and came into effect on 6 September
2013.
Further details are available at: http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/theplanningsystem/improving- the-system/new-zones-for-victoria/reformed-zones-for-victoria http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/planningtoolkit/have-your-say-on-zones-reform
In December 2013 the Minister appointed a Standing Advisory Committee to assist in the implementation of the new residential zones. A report on the process of residential zone conversion and a recommended response was reported to Council on 24 February 2014.
Subsequently, Amendment C179, which proposes the conversion of the existing Residential 1
Zone into the two new zones (Neighborhood Residential Zone and General Residential Zone), has been prepared and exhibited. Council determined to refer (21) submissions in relation to
Amendment C179 to the Advisory Committee.
Update: The Standing Advisory Committee conducted its hearing on 5 and 6 May 2014, and it is understood that the Advisory Committee ’s report is currently under consideration by the Minister.
In the interim, the Minister has approved amendment VC116, to come into effect on 1 July
2014, which introduces a blanket General Residential Zone (GRZ) to replace the Residential
1 land in the Shire (and in all other municipalities where final zone conversion proposals are still under consideration). It should be emphasized that the approval of VC116 does not cancel, or represent a refusal of, the Shire
’s zone conversion proposals.
The Minister has also introduced a new Ministerial Direction (Direction 16) in relation to
Residential Zones, which provides some clarification of the State government ’s intentions regarding the implementation of the new zones.
The Direction requires either only the GRZ to be used or a combination of all three new zones i.e. including the Residential Growth Zone. It requires at least 50 percent of metropolitan Melbourne
’s residential zoned land to be included in the Neighbourhood
Residential Zone and requires the monitoring and evaluation of the effect of the new zones on housing supply and affordability within two years of their introduction.
Further details are available on the DTPLI website: http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/the planning system/the-role-of-the-minister/ministerial-directions.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 10

Review of Aboriginal Heritage Act
The Government released an Issues and Options Paper for comment by 28 May 2012. On 28 May
2012, a report was presented to Council in relation to this Paper and a submission has been lodged.
Update: Awaiting Government response.
Planning Scheme Review
Under the Planning and Environment Act, the Planning Scheme must be reviewed every four years unless an extension is granted by the Minister.
Update: The Minister has granted a six month extension for the Planning Scheme Review – which is now due by 31 December 2014.
PLANNING SCHEME AMENDMENTS
REQUESTS FOR AMENDMENTS
The Strategic Planning Team maintains a database recording suggestions and proposals for changes to the Planning Scheme that may be put forward by Councillors, officers or the community. A proposal is translated into a formal request for amendment of the Scheme when a first stage fee is paid by a proponent or when a decision is made to prepare an amendment for exhibition.
At this time there are 12 formal requests by external proponents and 15 active Planning Scheme amendments.
CURRENT PLANNING SCHEME AMENDMENTS
Amendment C116 – General amendment
Items include changes to Special Use Zone 1. Council agreed to support a request for exhibition subject to satisfactory consultation with the Port authority.
Update: The Government has now responded to the Port Environs Advisory Committee and further consultation with the Port of Hastings Development Authority is being undertaken. A new report will be submitted to Council in due course.
Amendment C121/C147 - Height Control Policy for all Business zones
This amendment proposes interim and permanent Planning Scheme changes that would limit the height of development in town centres until such time as township specific planning controls are introduced e.g. following the preparation of Structure Plans.
Update: This matter was deferred pending the introduction of the reformed commercial zones. The reformed zones are now in place and so it is now timely for the amendment to be reviewed and progressed to the next stage with a view to exhibition later in 2014 following the release of the Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement.
Amendment C126 Part 3 – Balnarring Civic Court Precinct
This amendment proposes to rezone Council land in Balnarring. Consideration of this item has been delayed by the need to undertake additional strategic and design investigations. Further exhibition may be required.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 11

Update: To be reported to Council once further investigations are completed. Consultants have been appointed to provide a review of land use and development options and have completed a draft report.
Amendment C130 – Local Planning Policy Framework
This is a Section 20(4) amendment request which provides minor updates in the Local Planning
Policy Framework and reformats the local policy section in accordance with the review of the State
Planning Policy Framework which was introduced in September 2010.
Update: In accordance with a Council resolution on 26 May 2014 this amendment request will be withdrawn in light of the new integrated State and Local Planning Policy Framework proposal (see PLANNING SYSTEM section above).
Amendment C133 - Green Wedge camping and caravan park local policy
The amendment was exhibited in March 2010 and twenty four submissions were received. These submissions were referred to an Independent Panel that has now made its report.
Update: The amendment has been adopted by Council and there are continuing discussions with DTPLI regarding submission for the Minister ’s approval.
Amendment C161
– Yaringa
This amendment request proposes a rezoning to introduce a new Special Use Zone and is combined with a planning permit application to facilitate an inland marina, accommodation, conference centre, dry boat stack and factory development.
The Minister for Planning previously authorized the preparation of an amendment, however the proposal was also subject to the need for a report under the Commonwealth Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act. Officers of the Commonwealth Department of the Environment conducted a detailed assessment of the proposed Yaringa Boat Harbour development site and the adjoining RAMSAR listed Western Port environs by boat and on foot in late September 2012.
A draft Public Environment Report (prepared by the proponent) was subsequently exhibited for comment.
A final Public Environment Report was placed on exhibition until mid June 2013. Following the exhibition period the Federal Minister has made his determination, giving conditional approval to the proposal.
A report was presented to Council on 22 July 2013. In summary, Council resolved to refer the
Yaringa proposal to the State Government for processing, with the Minister to act as the Planning
Authority in this case, given the significant State issues that are involved. The Minister has subsequently declined this request. At its meeting on 24 March Council resolved to seek authorization by 28 March if possible, with a further report to be provided by 28 April 2014.
Update: A second authorization request has been lodged with the Minister for Planning in relation to Amendment C161 and an update report was provided to Council at the meeting on 28 April 2014. DTPLI has advised that it has extended the standard 10 day period for consideration of the authorisation request in order to provide more time to review the matter.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 12

Amendment C162 – Mount Eliza Woodland
This amendment proposes new development and subdivision provisions to protect the character of the area, and is similar to a previous Amendment (C87) which was refused by a former Minister for
Planning. The amendment has been exhibited and submissions have been received. After considering a report in May 2012 Council determined to refer submissions to an Independent
Panel. The Panel hearing was conducted over three days beginning 27 August 2012.
The Panel report was received in November 2012 and is available on the DPCD website. The amendment was reported to Counc il’s Development Assessments Committee for consideration on
20 May 2013 and subsequently presented to Council at a meeting on 11 June 2013.
The amendment was adopted by Council and submitted to the Minister for approval on 21 June
2013. On 30 July 2013, the Minister responded directing Council to give notice of the adopted changes to C162 under Section 33(1) of the Act by direct written notice to the owners and occupiers within precinct 1, with a period of at least one month for submissions to be made directly to the Minister. The closing date for submissions on any changes in the adopted version of the amendment was 30 September 2013.
Update: The amendment was approved by the Minister and gazetted on 26 June 2014.
Amendment C174 - Mornington Peninsula Shire Heritage
Review – Area 1 – Mount Eliza, Mornington and Mount Martha
This amendment is intended to implement the findings of the first stage of a comprehensive review of heritage controls across the whole municipality, recognising the limitations of the original heritage studies produced in the 1980’s and changing community values and attitudes.
At its meeting on 9 December 2013 Council adopted both the Mornington Peninsula Thematic
History, which provides a comprehensive framework, identifying key heritage themes across the
Shire, and the Stage 1 Heritage Review - Mount Eliza, Mornington and Mount Martha, which examines the heritage significance of particular places (usually buildings) and provides appropriate heritage citations i.e. a summary of the elements of heritage significance and recommendations for their conservation and management.
The Heritage Review recommends the introduction of new heritage overlays as one of the key heritage conservation mechanisms. It is important to acknowledge that these recommendations have previously been subject to an extensive non-statutory consultation process, with direct consultation with affected land owners.
In this context, at the meeting on 9 December 2013 Council resolved to seek authorisation to formally exhibit the planning scheme amendment, noting that this process will provide an opportunity for any opposing landowners to be further heard by an Independent Panel, which will report to Council before any final decision on the amendment is made.
Update: The amendment has been exhibited, with the closing date for submissions being 2
June 2014. A report to Council is included on the agenda for the Council meeting on 14 July
2014.
Amendment C176 – General amendment
Amendment C176 consists of six general items that deal with mapping errors and inconsistencies caused mainly by change of ownership or other changes on the land.
The proposed changes are:
• Rezone 300 Main Street, Mornington (Lot 1, PS 715119) from Public Park and Recreation Zone to Commercial 1 Zone;
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 13

Update: Amendment C176 has been exhibited with the closing date for submissions being 2
June 2014. A report to Council has been prepared and is on the agenda for the Council meeting on 14 July 2014.
Amendment C179 – Introduction of the New Residential Zones
Refer to the commentary under
“Zone Reform Program” above.
Amendment C180 – RACV resort, Cape Schanck
Council considered a report on this matter at its meeting on 23 September 2013.
The RACV is seeking an amendment to the existing Incorporated document which applies to the
Cape Schanck resort in order to enable Council to consider a substantial expansion of the resort facilities including a new conference facility.
The proposed changes to the Incorporated document would also require notice to be given of the proposed development plan, and any changes relating to the provision of sewerage services, and consideration of these submissions prior to any decision.
A request has been submitted to the Minister for Planning seeking a planning scheme amendment under Section 20(4) of the Act.
Update: The Minister determined to give notice of the amendment request to adjoining landowners, and the notification process was undertaken by DTPLI. The exhibition period was completed on 2 May 2014. Awaiting the Minister ’s decision.
Amendment C184 – General amendment
Amendment C184 consists of eight separate amendment requests. The proposed changes are as follows:

Update: Council resolved at a Council Meeting on 26 May 2014 to apply to the Minister for authorisation to prepare and exhibit Amendment C184. The Section 173 agreement relating to the Kunyung Road item has been received, which now enables the application for authorisation to proceed. The exhibition is likely to commence in August.
COASTAL PROJECTS
Victorian Coastal Strategy Review
The draft Victorian Coastal Strategy 2013 (VCS) has been prepared under the Coastal
Management Act by the Victorian Coastal Council (VCC) and was released for public comment at the Victorian Coastal Awards on 11 September 2013. The draft strategy highlights the following key points:
- Building the capacity to adapt to coastal hazards
- Financing coastal infrastructure
- Managing population growth and its impact on the coast
- Better understanding the real value of natural assets on the coast
- A more integrated and holistic approach for planning and managing the marine environment
- Ensuring a balance between local community, regional and state-wide decision making authority, reflecting that previous settings may not be appropriate for the future
Visit www.vcc.vic.gov.au for further details.
Submissions in relation to the draft Strategy closed on 4 December 2013. Council considered a report on the draft VCS at its meeting in December 2013 and subsequently lodged a submission outlining a number of concerns with the draft VCS and the need for further consultation with local government and other stakeholders.
Update: The Victorian Coastal Council submitted the draft Victorian Coastal Strategy 2013 to Minister Ryan Smith in April 2014 for approval pursuant to the Coastal Management Act
1995. The Strategy remains with the Minister for decision.
Mt Eliza to Point Nepean Coastal Action Plan (CAP)
The Coastal Action Plan was endorsed by the Minister for Environment and gazetted in December
2006. The Shire is working to implement the CAP by the progressive development and review of
Coastal Management Plans. More recently the Central Coastal Board (CCB) prepared an internal
CAP Review Report.
Update: The Minister for the Environment has directed the Central Coastal Board (CCB) to prepare a new Regional Coastal Action Plan (CAP) for the Central Region. At this stage it is uncertain where local plans, such as the Mt Eliza to Point Nepean CAP, will fit in the new system.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 15

A recent workshop was held by the Central Coastal Board involving local government councillors and officers; and other coastal Crown land managers, and it appears unlikely that the existing Coastal Action Plans will be included in the new Regional CAP.
Reference was made to these plans continuing to function independently of the new
Regional CAP, however this “overlap” would potentially result in lack of certainty in relation to roles, responsibilities, policies and resourcing. Further consideration of the new CAP structure is necessary to ensure effective direction in the development and implementation of coastal policy. Further consultation is being sought.
Boating Coastal Action Plan
The Central Coastal Board (CCB) is responsible for the preparation of the Boating Coastal Action
Plan (BCAP) which aims to provide a vision for the future use and improvement of the boating network within the central region. It contains a series of guiding principles and specific policies to identify immediate priorities for upgrading and management of existing boating facilities and a planning framework for new facilities. The current BCAP was published in 2007 and reviewed in
2013. MPSC provided input into this review process.
As noted above, the Minister for Environment and Climate Change has directed the CCB to prepare a new Regional Action Plan and it is proposed that boating issues will now be incorporated into this plan. Accordingly, the CCB have advised that the Boating CAP will not be further reviewed or continued as a separate document.
As a transitional measure, the CCB has prepared a Recreational Boating Facilities Framework
(RBFF), which is likely to be included in the Regional CAP at a future date. The MPSC has emphasised the need for significant consultation on boating issues, with both Council and other stakeholders, as part of the development of the new regional CAP.
Update: At the recent workshop with the CCB, the Executive Officer indicated that the
Recreational Boating Facilities Framework will not be included in the new Regional CAP, however, the map of (the hierarchy of) Recreational Boating Facilities will be included and it is deemed that this map contains all of the necessary information. Further consultation is being sought.
Association of Bayside Municipalities Strategic Directions 2012-16
The Mornington Peninsula Shire (MPS) continues to be an active member of the Association of
Bayside Municipalities (ABM). The ABM recently released proposed strategic directions for 2012-
16 which include:
• Promoting integrated coastal planning including responses to climate change
• Enhancing the management of coastal assets and infrastructure
• Promoting the ecological health of marine areas and the coast
• Encouraging sustainable and equitable recreation and social uses
• Enhanced understanding of economic, social and environmental values and benefits
• Refining and improving our organizational approach
These directions are intended to form the basis of a work plan for the ABM.
Update: The Association of Bayside Municipalities was successful in receiving funding through the Victorian Adaptation and Sustainability Partnership program (VASP) administered through DEPI to develop an adaptation blueprint for Port Phillip Bay.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 16

Through this project, councils, state government and other key stakeholders will look at issues facing the Bay now and into the future, including climate change, population pressures and increased demands for recreation and leisure.
This project aims to equip councillors, planners and other decision makers with the knowledge and skills to guide adaptive approaches into the future.
Expressions of interest for the Project control group to oversee the project are currently being sought from Member Councils.
Coastal Climate Change Challenges
The Shir e’s coastal planners and staff from other units are involved in a number of initiatives in this area with a view to:
• Improving the information available on the impacts of climate change on our communities, and;
• Developing tools and guidelines to inform decision making and strategic planning along the coast.
The key initiative at present is the Western Port Coastal Local Hazards Assessment (formerly
Future Coasts).
While broad level risk mapping and reports have been made available in recent times from the
Federal Government ’s “first pass” assessment, more detailed information at the State and local level is needed.
Under the Future Coasts program, Western Port is one of four chosen study areas for a local coastal hazard assessment. The project scope affects four local Government areas and incorporates most of Western Port.
Officers are currently participating on the Western Port Local Hazards Assessment steering committee and Technical Reference Group. Other partners include DSE, Melbourne Water, South
East Councils Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA), the City of Casey, Bass Coast Shire and the
Shire of Cardinia.
The project consists of two main parts
– part A being a general mapping of coastal hazard vulnerability around Western Port and part B being a more in depth assessment of the potential impact of climate change in locations that have been selected to represent a range of coastal conditions.
Update: The consultants have finalized and submitted the Western Port Local Hazard
Assessment to Melbourne Water and Department of Environment and Primary Industries.
The report has undergone independent peer review and the Steering Committee met on
10 June to consider the changes.
An outcome from this meeting was to provide the Technical Reference Group with an opportunity to review recommended changes prior to DEPI and Melbourne Water completing the Report. It is anticipated that this project will be finalized in July.
Coastal Management Plans (CMP) – General
Coastal Management Plans (CMPs) are prepared in accordance with the Coastal Management Act
1995 and set out the vision and land management requirements for specific foreshore areas. CMPs include a three year business plan identifying resources and/or possible sources of income to complete priority actions.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 17

Coastal Management Plan - Mornington
The area to be covered by this plan extends from Caraar Creek to Linley Point.
The Mornington CMP was adopted by Council on 24 September 2012. The final version was submitted to DSE for approval by the Minister for Environment and Climate Change under the
Coastal Management Act on 22 November 2012.
The Department of Environment and Primary Industries has provided comments on the Plan, requesting a number of adjustments. A duly adjusted copy has been provided to the Department to assist in its consideration and the approval of the Plan.
Update: Awaiting clarification from DEPI of their requirements.
Mornington Harbour Precinct Plan
In order to resolve the long term capacity and safety issues associated with the Mornington
Harbour, Council has resolved to undertake the preparation of a Mornington Harbour Precinct Plan, with the formation of a Mornington Harbour Precinct Working Group to ensure broad community consultation.
The working group has held a number of meetings to discuss issues and options, and has also included other stakeholders in the discussions.
Update: The Working Group discussions will be reported to Council in the near future enabling consideration of the options available, including the process of further consultation.
Coastal Management Plan – Safety Beach
Safety Beach is Council freehold land and therefore a Coastal Management Plan is not formally required to be submitted to the Minister to accord with the Coastal Management Act . However, a draft Master Plan was prepared in 1999 for the Safety Beach Foreshore and the community
Foreshore Advisory Committee supports the development of a Coastal Management Plan.
The Safety Beach Visioning Plan – Stage 1 Coastal Management Plan has been commenced with a comprehensive consultation phase with over 100 public opinion submissions received. The next stage of this project will be to develop an indicative plan and recommendations for the management of the Safety Beach Foreshore.
Update: Work has commenced on Stage 2 – Plan Development of the Safety Beach Coastal
Management Plan. The development of the plan will build on the extensive consultation work undertaken in the Stage 1 – Visioning Plan component of this project.
As part of Stage 2, contact has been made with several schools and child care centres to elicit the views of parents and children, to broaden the base of consultation. Detailed traffic management advice has also been sought from traffic management and engineering agencies.
Further consultation is in progress.
Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Plan
The Shire received funding for a Boating Precinct Plan for the Rye public boat launching facility through the State government ’s Boating Safety and Facilities Program.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 18

The Plan, including a coastal processes study, was subsequently developed, and included an extensive consultation process. The Plan includes proposed improvements to both the boating precinct and to the wider Rye foreshore area. Following a formal exhibition period, and consideration of submissions, the Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Plan was considered by
Council at its meeting of 25 November 2013 and subsequently adopted with the following resolution:
• That Council adopts the Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Plan ‘in principle’ and subject to funding for its further development and implementation and to input from future consultations during the detailed design stage of the plan.
• That Council pursues the implementation of the Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Plan with a long term investment strategy including seeking funding from State government, as appropriate, with any Council contribution being assessed as part of Counc il’s normal Capital Works Budget process and in the context of other Budget priorities.
• That an indicative timeframe be brought back to Council early in 2014.
Update: Council has recently received advice of a successful grant application for design development of infrastructure associated with the Rye Boating Precinct. Pending the approval of budget proposals, the design development stage of this plan will be undertaken through the preparation of a Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Landscape Master Plan.
Further consultation with key stakeholders and agencies will form an integral part of this process. An outline of the implementation timeframe will be reported to Council as soon as possible.
Coastal Management Plan – Hastings South
The Hastings South Coastal Management Plan, including a recreational boating precinct plan, has been prepared, in part utilising funds received from the Department of Transport. A community survey has also been undertaken to capture boating information on the Hastings foreshore.
Update: The Hastings South Coastal Management Plan was on exhibition until Friday
30 May 2014. Further consultation is now being undertaken with the recently appointed
Hastings Foreshore Advisory Group and Department of Environment and Primary
Industries. A report on submissions and the final Hastings South Coastal Management Plan recommended for adoption will be presented to Council in August-September 2014.
Major Coastal Works Projects
Mt Eliza - Canadian Bay Car Park Landscape Master Plan
Concept designs for the Canadian Bay car park have been completed. Consultation with the
Foreshore Advisory Group is continuing.
Update: Following consultation with Ward Councillors, it has been decided to develop a strategic overview of all coastal car parks, in consultation with the Infrastructure Strategy
Unit, with a view to prioritising future works and funding.
Mornington Football Disaster Memorial Park
A draft landscape master plan has been prepared for the picnic/park area at the corner of the
Esplanade and Schnapper Point Drive as well as the public spaces surrounding the old post office and court house buildings. On 15 March 2011 Council determined to undertake a consultation process to seek community input on the draft landscape master plan. The masterplan was considered and endorsed by Council at its meeting on 24 October 2011.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 19

The Infrastructure Unit and Strategic Planning have been working to implement the masterplan.
Stage 1 works including upgrading the monument, lighting and vegetation works.
Update: Stage 2 will focus on the main pathway from the monument to a look-out area over the harbour, the picnic area at the eastern end of the park and improvements to the side of the courthouse area. The detailed design and approvals process is near completion and works are expected to commence later this year.
Mornington – Mills Beach Landscape Master Plan
The community and in particular the Mornington Life Saving Club have requested improvements to this area, such as the provision of disabled access, improvement to the LSC forecourt area, reconsideration of the parking layout and safe access for emergency vehicles. A consultant was engaged to prepare a landscape masterplan for the area.
Update: The Mills Beach LMP was adopted by Council on 24 September 2012. Detailed design work is being undertaken in conjunction with the Mornington Life Saving Club and the Foreshore Advisory Group.
Mt Martha Life Saving Club/Yacht Club Area
Due to a range of changes and proposals within the Mount Martha Coastal Activity Node, including a planning permit application by the Mt Martha Life Saving Club for the expansion of the Life
Saving Club, proposed changes to the Yacht Club/Life Saving Club car park and the completion of the boardwalk from the pedestrian crossing to the YC/LSC car park, it was considered that the development of a precinct plan was appropriate to assist proper coordination of proposals.
An interim Precinct Plan has been prepared and approval has been granted for reconstruction and extension of the Life Saving Club extension building in accordance with the interim Plan. Further consideration of proposals by the Yacht Club is being undertaken.
Update: Demolition of the Mount Martha Life Saving Club building has commenced as part of the rebuilding project.
Safety Beach - Bay Trail
Construction of the trail is complete to a location across from Prescott Street (Safety Beach) and the footbridge over Sheepwash Creek has been completed. The coastal planners will continue to assist officers from the Infrastructure Strategy Team on planning for the development of the missing links of the Bay Trail.
Update: In late February, the Shire ’s Traffic Management team undertook the process of finalising the plans/alignment for the remaining section of Safety Beach Bay Trail prior to going out to tender.
The alignment for the works was finalised in consultation with the Safety Beach Foreshore
Advisory Group and with consideration of the Safety Beach Coastal Management Plan –
Stage 1: Visioning Plan.
The Safety Beach Bay Trail works have been awarded to a construction company who proposes to begin works in mid July. Traffic Management officers met with the Safety
Beach Foreshore Advisory Group on Monday, 23 June to walk through the proposed alignment of the trail works.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 20

Rosebud – Jetty Road Pier Precinct Landscape Masterplan
A landscape masterplan is to be prepared for this area as a key action from the adopted Rosebud
Coastal Management Plan adopted by Council last year. The plan will include the provision of a new playground, improved pedestrian movement and open space treatments.
Update: Aspect Studios, the consultants engaged to develop the landscape master plan, have almost completed the draft master plan for Counc il’s consideration. A briefing has been held with Ward Councillors, and officers propose to present the draft to Council with a view to commencing community consultation later this year.
Portsea Foreshore – Restoration Works
The Shire is working closely with DSE and Parks Victoria to address the erosion at Portsea beach.
Works to date have included the stabilization of the Pier entrance area (which includes the installation of rock revetment) and the placement of large sand bags on the primary dune (eastern side of the Pier).
Update: Coastal Planning and Infrastructure officers are working with DEPI to finalise plans for a concrete retaining wall between the pier and the western seawall which has been necessitated by the erosion of this site.
Council has considered a report on this matter and has resolved to provide funding to ensure the inclusion of a walkway along the top of the retaining wall as the most cost effective means of ensuring ongoing public access. The timing of these works is yet to be announced by DEPI who are the project managers.
Sorrento Foreshore – DEPI Beach Renourishment Works
Coastal Planning is working with DEPI on a beach renourishment project for Sorrento Foreshore. It is proposed to renourish a length of 400 metres of foreshore as part of the Victorian Government ’s
Protection of Port Phillip Bay Beaches and Foreshores Program (2011
– 2015). The project will result in approximately 6,000 cubic metres of sand being added to the western end of the beach to protect the foreshore from coastal erosion and provide improved public amenity.
Update: A public information session in relation to the proposed works was held on 2 May
2014.
Flinders Foreshore
There are currently a number of community based proposals for the Flinders foreshore.
Update: Biosis consultants have completed the Conservation Management Plan for the
Flinders foreshore area in response to on site meetings with key community members and stakeholders. Shire Officers will continue work with community members to develop and assess proposals in accordance with Counci l’s Community Capital Partnerships policy and to undertake minor improvements.
Mt Eliza and Mt Martha North Foreshore
– Erosion and Works
Storm surge wave activity has caused significant damage to land and infrastructure on Mt Eliza
(Moondah) and Mt Martha North foreshores. Both beaches have suffered significant erosion to cliff faces and a number of bathing boxes have been damaged or destroyed.
Coastal Planning, Statutory Building and Property Operations officers inspected the condition of bathing boxes at Mt Eliza and Mt Martha Foreshores. In all a total of 14 bathing box licensees were issued with orders to either re-stump or demolish their boxes.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 21

Update: Coastal Planning continues to work with DEPI and Property Operations to develop a response to the coastal erosion and Bathing Box issues.
Recent storm events have caused further erosion of beaches and infrastructure along Mt
Eliza and Mt Martha North Foreshore reserves and Coastal Planning is working closely with
Property Services and Infrastructure officers to develop sustainable responses to these events.
Foreshore Advisory Groups
The Shire has established nine community-based Foreshore Advisory Groups to provide input to coastal planning for areas where the Shire itself is either the public land manager and/or the delegated Committee of Management.
• Mt Eliza
• Mornington
• Mt Martha
• Safety Beach
• Rosebud
• Rye
• Sorrento
• Portsea; and
• Hastings
Update: The recent Expression of Interest process for the appointment of members to the
Foreshore Advisory Groups has now been completed. The applications were reported to
Council at its meeting on 19 May 2014. All applicants have been advised of Council ’s decision, with members appointed for a 12 month period. Meetings with the newly appointed groups are now being convened.
NATURAL SYSTEMS PROJECTS
Development of the Mornington Peninsula Biodiversity Conservation and Threat Mitigation
Plan
The first stage of this long term project, involving extensive Native Vegetation Mapping, has been completed. The Mornington Peninsula Fauna Atlas is the second stage and is now also complete.
The Fauna Atlas project involved undertaking a field survey of native fauna on roadside reserves, targeted private land and Council controlled reserves. The project has resulted in the creation of over 70,000 fauna records across private and public land. The project has also established a data base for collection of information associated with native fauna road accidents.
The Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research (ARI) has been consulted extensively in development of the brief for the next stage of this project
– the development of a Biodiversity
Conservation Plan. ARI is a leading centre for applied ecological research in Victoria and provides the biodiversity research base for the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI).
By working in partnership with this Institute it is intended to ensure that best practice methods and strategies are applied to the protection and enhancement of the Shire
’s long term biodiversity.
Update: The project brief for the Biodiversity Conservation Plan has been prepared and expressions of interest are being sought.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 22

A document that summarises the outcomes of the Shire biodiversity mapping project is in preparation for electronic and hard copy distribution to the community. The consultant will incorporate data from the current 2014 zoological survey of the Tootgarook wetland and further information regarding strategic Shire biodiversity assets.
Consultant work is expected to be completed by end June 2014.
Tootgarook Wetland Management Plan 2013-2014
The Shire has engaged consultants (WBM/BMT) to investigate the feasibility of preparing a nomination for the Tootgarook Wetland as an internationally significant RAMSAR wetland.
Consultants have also been engaged to facilitate the meetings of the Tootgarook Wetlands
Stakeholder Working Group.
Update: Melbourne Water and the Shire have jointly prepared a draft Memo of
Understanding for the development and implementation of a longer term monitoring program for the Tootgarook wetland.
MW have awarded the contract for the development of a Tootgarook Wetland Ecological
Monitoring program methodology to Jacobs P/L (formerly SKM) who are currently undertaking other projects for Melbourne Water.
Two Tootgarook wetland fauna surveys are also now underway:
• A Peninsula zoologist is undertaking a targeted survey of threatened vertebrate species on previously unsurveyed Council lands. A draft report has been received and reviewed.
• Birdlife Australia has commenced a two year longitudinal significant bird survey at six sites in the wetland. The methodology of this study is consistent with an existing targeted bird survey underway at the adjacent Boneo Park property. Survey works continue, with the initial report due to the Shire in January 2015.
Results of both Shire fauna studies and the Boneo Park property study will help provide a baseline inventory informing the development of a Tootgarook wetland strategic plan and potentially supporting a RAMSAR listing application.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Fauna Brochure
This brochure is one of a series that provides “user friendly” information for landowners and community stakeholders helping to promote sustainable environmental management. The Shire
Fauna brochure was launched in 2003 and has recently been updated and reprinted.
Update: An electronic version of the brochure has been placed on the Shire website.
Reforms to Victoria ’s Native Vegetation Permitted Clearing Controls
The Victorian Government is finalizing details of the changes to the regulatory framework governing the clearing of native vegetation in Victoria. These reforms are focussed on six key issues:
• Clarifying the objective of native vegetation permitted clearing
• Improving how biodiversity value is measured and defined
• Incorporating risk and proportionality in decision making
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 23

• Ensuring vegetation offsets provide appropriate compensation to the environment (a change from the principle of “net gain” to “no net loss”)
• Reviewing transitional arrangements from the present Native Vegetation Management
Framework to the new controls, including revised offset crediting arrangements
• Developing modeled native vegetation mapping as a basis for the new native vegetation policy decision making.
Update: The new Permitted Native Vegetation Clearing Controls were gazetted by
Parliament in late December 2013 and changes made to all Victorian Planning Schemes.
The new controls are framed in terms of ensuring No Net Loss of Native Vegetation, in contrast to the previous controls which required a net gain in the extent and quality of native vegetation. The new system also relies more on modeling of vegetation significance, rather than requiring site by site assessment, at least in the initial stage of an application.
In addition, the DEPI Bushbroker scheme that enabled planning permit holders to purchase vegetation offsets from third parties has recently been closed, reflecting government policy seeking to transfer vegetation trading to the private sector.
In this context, the Minister for the Environment recently presented a new Bill to the
Victorian Parliament House of Assembly entitled Native Vegetation Credit Market Bill
2014. The Bill and subsequent legislation was intended to provide a new framework for the operation of vegetation offsets and the associated credit market, however, the Bill was defeated.
The Minister and the department have yet to provide an update to the community or government officers on this matter. The Minister has previously ratified seven private companies to replace the existing vegetation offset credit extract system known as
Bushbroker. This process is in abeyance awaiting further announcements by the Minister.
Department of Environment and Primary Industry (DEPI Management) Review of Invasive
Species in Victoria
The Minister for Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) has announced that new Invasive Species Management legislation will be developed and a release of draft legislation is proposed for late 2014. The revised legislation will seek to integrate the management of marine and plant diseases (pathogens) with that of land based invasive species and more clearly articulate responsibilities for pest management on private and public land.
The draft bill was introduced to Victorian parliament in May 2013 and provides that local government will have the responsibility for control of regionally prohibited and controlled weeds and established pest animals on roadsides of Municipal roads as defined in the Road Management Act.
The draft Act empowers the Minister to require Councils to prepare roadside weed and pest animal management plans.
No indication has been given as to the availability of state government funds to assist Council in meeting implementation costs of such plans.
Update: Awaiting update from the Minister for the Environment, including clarification of landowner responsibilities and associated provision of resources from the state to local government and the community.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 24

Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation Research
Committee
Council is represented on the Biosphere Research Committee that meets quarterly. The Research
Committee is made up of representatives from Monash University, Chisholm TAFE, Cranbourne
Botanic Gardens, one local government officer and a representative of the Biosphere Board.
The focus of the Biosphere Research Committee continues to be:
• Seeking Federal and state funds for continuation of a Recovery project for Southern Brown
Bandicoot in the Western Port Catchment.
• Development of a Strategic Plan and revised terms of reference for the Research Committee.
• Development of a Recovery Plan for the Southern Brown Bandicoot (SBB) - The research committee is preparing for a public seminar on the SBB involving researchers, government officers and landholders.
• Assistance with the implementation of Commonwealth Government NCCARF and Carbon
Grants.
A grant of $2.4 million (over 6 years) has been provided by the Federal government and is intended to support a number of project activities throughout Casey, Frankston, Cardinia, Bass
Coast and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Biosphere areas including:-
• Consolidating, at a regional scale, interim actions for habitat links, associated with a Regional
Biodiversity Plan.
• Immediate re-vegetation of Western Port Heathy Woodland (bandicoot) habitat.
• Building capacity of private landholders to protect and extend habitat.
• Enhancing key high conservation reserves.
• Reviewing and addressing fire and invasive species control.
• Establishing a Western Port Regional Biodiversity Action Plan.
The Western Port Biosphere Research Committee has appointed a project implementation committee, including representatives from five local governments and state government. Project funding has been allocated for expenditure in the five Council areas and French Island. A number of Mornington Peninsula community groups have made applications for bushland rehabilitation projects on Council and Crown land in 2013/14. Further project funds will be made available in subsequent years.
The Biosphere Growing Connections Project Manager has nominated the successful tenderers to the grant scheme across the five Biosphere Councils and French Island. Negotiations are underway with successful applicants to complete necessary documentation. Successful applicants to this funding project in the Mornington Peninsula Shire are:-
• Mornington Tourist Railway Inc for rail reserve works at Mornington-Moorooduc; and
• Habitat Restoration Fund (a not for profit group) for works at Woods Reserve Devilbend.
Update: Grant project implementation is underway. Additional project funding has been directed to the Mornington Peninsula, including the Moorooduc Plain rehabilitation project being undertaken by the Mornington Tourist Railway Society.
The UNESCO head office of the Man and Biosphere program is currently undertaking a 10 year survey of the outcomes and programs conducted by stakeholders in each Biosphere reserve. A response on behalf of the Shire has been submitted to the Western Port
Biosphere Reserve Foundation.
The Biosphere Research Committee has also recommended consideration of indicators for a future State of the Environment Report to improve communication with the community and government. Further information is available on the Biosphere ’s website: http://www.biosphere.org.au/
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 25

Devilbend Reserve
The Devilbend Natural Features Reserve (NFR) covers an area of 1005 hectares. The reserve comprises 422 hectares of native vegetation, almost 250 hectares of water surface area associated with Devilbend and Bittern Reservoirs, 328 hectares of non-native vegetation predominantly in the form of cleared grazed land. Existing public reserve access is currently limited to a 5 hectare picnic area known as Devilbend Reservoir Park.
The reserve also includes the largest inland water body on the Mornington Peninsula providing valuable habitat for water birds and shore birds as well as opportunities for recreation. The
Devilbend Natural Features Reserve Management Plan 2010 was adopted by the Minister in May
2010. Subsequently, in 2011 Parks Victoria prepared the Devilbend Master Plan for the small component of the park known as Daangaen Point and other visitor nodes. The Shire noted a number of reserve interface issues including signage, equestrian trail linkages and support for the provision of reserve visitor parking within both Devilbend and Bittern reserve.
Ongoing reserve management issues include unauthorised public entry to the reserve, continued dumping of hard waste on road reserves around the reserve perimeter and park fire management planning and associated on-ground works. Construction of the Graydens Road main entry to
Devilbend Reserve has been delayed in association with construction of Peninsula Link.
Parks Victoria has undertaken planning for Stage two implementation of the Park Master Plan: the
Bittern reserve link.
Update: Parks Victoria continues to implement the reserve Master Plan for development of the Devilbend and Bittern reservoir areas.
Cemetery and Anglers Estate Hastings Review 2011/12
Consultants are presently undertaking a biodiversity survey of land in the vicinity of the Cemetery
Estate (Long Island, Hastings) so as to inform a subsequent report to Council on the future status and management of the land, which is located adjacent to the ESSO refinery and abutting the
Hastings Cemetery.
Update: A final project report has been submitted by the consultant and is informing
Council priorities for targeted predator (fox and rat) control programs to protect the EPBC
Act, 1999 listed Southern Brown Bandicoot populations. The report will also inform a future report to Council on the designation of the land under the planning scheme and associated protection of the natural values in the light of existing and potential future land use.
Community Waterwatch Program
The 2014 education program involves over 14 Peninsula schools and 10 community Landcare and
Friends groups. The program was originally delivered by Melbourne Water, but, due to changing priorities within that organization, the Dolphin Research Institute (DRI) has been commissioned to continue with the delivery of the program.
Update: DRI have commenced the 2013/14 Stage two Waterwatch program. Over ten
Peninsula Shire Primary schools in both Western Port and Port Phillip Bay catchments are involved. DRI have engaged 12 school and community groups in the implementation of the
2014 program. The program has received very positive feedback from participating schools.
The Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Group ’s Balcombe Estuary Community Awareness day was supported with the provision of funding assistance from the Shire Waterwatch budget. Over 250 people attended the day.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 26

Watson Creek Catchment Joint Agency Catchment Project (Baxter/Somerville District)
This is a long term project coordinated by the Western Port Biosphere Committee, which has focused on landowner engagement in the restoration of a much degraded creek line. The project vision is to significantly improve community understanding of the values of the catchment and the opportunities to protect these values while maintaining the economic outputs from the catchment area.
The Biosphere Committee is currently overseeing the preparation of a Watson Creek Integrated
Catchment Program Achievement Publication in association with Melbourne Water, the Shire and
Watson Creek schools and LandCare group members.
Update: A draft Project report, partially funded by the Shire, is currently in preparation with assistance from the Shire in GIS and project document editing. Project partners include the
Port Phillip and Western Port Regional Catchment Authority, Western Port Biosphere, City of Frankston, Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and Watson Creek Landcare group.
The project report is nearing completion.
MPS COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP GRANT PROGRAM
Community Partnership projects 2011 – 2012
Work is progressing on the Friends of Tanti Creek Interpretational Signage Project.
Update : A most recent draft of the project artwork was submitted for comment in late May
2014.The Strategic Planner Natural Systems and Shire Cultural Officer have met with the
Tanti Creek Friends group to finalise the cultural heritage content in this public signage project and are currently awaiting feedback.
HERITAGE PROJECTS
Mornington Peninsula Thematic History
The existing municipal heritage studies produced from the 1980’s onward (there are 4, one each for the 3 pre-amalgamation Shires plus a portion of Frankston City), each contain a
“thematic environmental history ”, which sets out the key heritage themes, and provides a reference point in the assessment of heritage significance e.g. how important is a particular place in expressing one of the key heritage themes.
In conjunction with the Shire Heritage Review (see below) the ‘thematic histories’ are being combined into a new Mornington Peninsula Thematic History. This is a necessary step in assessment of new heritage places and supporting any new heritage overlays that may be recommended by the Heritage Review.
Update: The Mornington Peninsula Thematic History was considered by Council at its meeting on 9 December 2013 and was adopted, along with the Heritage Review – Area 1.
Council also resolved to seek authorization to exhibit the associated planning scheme
Amendment C174 (refer commentary on C174 for further details).
The Mornington Peninsula Thematic History will underpin the impending Stage 2 Heritage
Review. There were no objections received in relation to the Thematic History in the recent exhibition of Amendment C174 and this will provide a firm basis for recommending heritage protection of places and items with genuine socio-historic significance.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 27

Shire Heritage Review – Area 1 – Mt Eliza, Mornington, Mt Martha
A review of the status of the Shir e’s heritage studies and their implementation was completed in
2006. Given the significant resources required to undertake detailed heritage investigations, this report outlined a staged strategy to review and update heritage studies and recommendations for new heritage overlays.
As the first stage of this process, an interim Thematic History for the Shire was prepared by consultant Graeme Butler & Associates (see above).
Funds were allocated in the 2009-2010 budget to commence area based reviews of the previous heritage studies, with Stage 1 being a review of the Mt Martha, Mornington and Mt Eliza areas
(Area 1). Context P/L were engaged to undertake the Stage 1 review, including community consultation workshops.
The consultant ’s recommendations were received in July 2012. The recommendations were considered by the project Steering Group and have completed a period of public exhibition. The
Strategic Planner – Heritage & Urban Design inspected all properties and held discussions with many owners.
Update: The Heritage Review Area 1 was considered and adopted by Council at its meeting on 9 December 2013. Council also resolved to seek authorization to exhibit the associated planning scheme Amendment C174 (refer commentary on C174 for further details).
The exhibition period is now complete. Approx 60 submissions were received, but more than half of these were in respect to a single property. Re-assessment of some recommendations on specific properties, and minor modifications to some of the policy provisions will enable much of the amendment to proceed as proposed, with only a limited number of disputed items to be referred for resolution to a panel. A full report is to be presented to Council on 14 July 2014.
Shire Heritage Review – Area 2 – Dromana, Rosebud, Rye
The planning for Stage 2 of the Shire Heritage Review, being a review of the Dromana to Rye areas (Area 2) has begun. The study area has been defined and the two major local heritage groups and the National Trust have been invited to join a new steering committee. These groups have nominated possible new heritage places for review. A photographic survey of places on the
‘heritage watch list’ within the area has been completed by Council staff.
Update: Modifications to the project brief have been made in the light of experience with submissions received in relation to Stage 1, and the appointment of consultants is expected to occur within the next two months. In parallel with this, local historic societies are being asked to nominate members to participate in an expert reference panel that the appointed consultants may contact for information, local knowledge and advice.
Significant Tree Register
Following a review of trees identified in the Shire ’s heritage studies by Lorraine Huddle, Council’s heritage adviser, the Strategic Planning unit and Open Space & Roadsides unit have developed a project to use the Asset Management Database as a register of heritage trees on land managed by
Council.
Once this project is established, a second stage, consisting of a register of heritage trees on private land is proposed, and public nominations for both lists will be invited. An outline of the proposed
Register has been presented to Counc il’s Vegetation e-team. Initial consultation with some stakeholders - National Trust, Mornington & District Historical Society, has occurred.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 28

Update: Until now there has been no reliable mechanism for Councils to heritage list trees, other than the heritage overlay which is only intended for certain historically significant trees. Melbourne City Council recently adopted a planning scheme amendment to introduce a Significant Landscape Overlay in relation to a list of significant trees in the City. This development will be monitored to determine if this provides a mechanism that MPS could also adopt.
Mornington Peninsula Heritage Strategy
As part of its obligations under State government funding for Counc il’s Heritage Advisory Service, the Shire is required to prepare a Heritage Strategy. The Heritage Strategy will include actions that address the identification, protection, management and/or promotion of the municipality's heritage, and will be both a review of Counc il’s current operations in these areas, as well as setting out actions to improve aspects where there is scope to do so. A heritage consultant has been appointed to prepare a draft Strategy, including a survey of community attitudes to current heritage controls.
The Heritage Strategy will be a "whole of Council" strategy developed through consultation across
Council units that deal with heritage places and issues. It is proposed to link the Strategy to the
Council Plan and for it to be reviewed every four years.
Update: A draft of the Municipal Heritage Strategy has been received from the consultant and the draft document been subject to review and focused external consultation (with local heritage groups).
There are lessons to be drawn from the consultant ’s community survey, and it is now proposed to produce a discussion paper to accompany the draft Strategy which will outline the strategic considerations that should underpin Counci l’s approach to heritage planning, including, possible mechanisms to further support heritage conservation on private land.
It is expected to present the discussion paper and draft Strategy to Council in the near future, with a view to public exhibition.
Heritage Input to Projects
Merricks to Red Hill Railway Reserve Conservation Management Plan
A heritage report is required on this former railway alignment and the station grounds at Merricks and Red Hill as part of the development of a Master Plan.
Update: This project is approaching completion, with the consultant (Biosis) fine tuning and finalizing the report, including inclusion of historic photos, some of which have only become available through public response to an earlier advertisement.
Rosebud Sound Shell Heritage Management Plan
The Rosebud sound shell was entered onto the Victorian Heritage Register in 2012 as a significant example of modern design and the first structure in Australia to be designed with the use of a computer. The sound shell faces some management challenges due to its reinforced concrete construction and its vulnerability to inappropriate access, graffiti etc.
There is an urgent need to find a visually sensitive way to prevent access to the roof of the soundshell by skate boarders etc.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 29

Update: Following recent discussions with the National Trust and Council ’s property management section, the consultant who prepared the case for the shell ’s inclusion on the
Victorian Heritage Register has been engaged to prepare an application to Heritage Victoria for various repairs and protective works.
This application will, in effect, provide a Conservation Management Plan and will include the background history and a heritage citation as well as the scope and cost estimate of required conservation works.
SECTION 29A APPLICATIONS – REPORT AND CONSENT FOR DEMOLITION
Section 29A of the Building Act requires Council to be notified of proposed demolitions. This in turn provides an opportunity to assess the heritage significance of the property and to either consent or, if appropriate, call a halt to proposed demolition pending the assessment under the Planning and
Environment Act 1987. A request under Section 29A must be determined within 15 working days or there is deemed consent. An average of 30 requests per month has been received over the last 12 months.
.
In January 2014 – 23 demolition requests were received and 22 were completed.
In February 2014 – 25 demolition requests were received and 30 were completed.
In March 2014 – 36 demolition requests were received and 28 were completed.
In April 2014 – 33 demolition requests were received and 31 were completed.
In May 2014 – 27 demolition requests were received and 34 were completed.
In June 2014 – 24 demolition requests were received and 27 were completed.
URBAN DESIGN PROJECTS
Mornington Laneways Strategy and Empire Mall
Council has engaged Hansen Partnership to prepare a strategy for the seven laneways identified along Main Street in Mornington, as well as a concept plan to upgrade Empire Mall. The Laneways
Strategy seeks to address Safety, Amenity, Legibility, Access, and Activity in order to improve and enhance the laneways.
A meeting / workshop to review the Laneways Analysis Report and Empire Mall Concept Plan was held on 6 February with the consultants and the project team including Briars Ward Councillors,
Mornington Chamber of Commerce, Historical Society, and Council officers. Following this, a
Visioning and Thematic Workshop was facilitated by the consultants with Ward Councilors, key stakeholders including Chamber of Commerce and Police, and Council officers, on 20 March. The findings of this visioning workshop were then presented to the Design Advisory Panel on 16 April
2014.
Update: The consultants have now finalised the Mornington Laneways Strategy report based on DAP advice and review by the project team. The report will now be presented to a
Council Meeting for consideration.
Micro Parks, Main Street, Mornington
The Mornington Main Street Streetscape Design Framework (June 2009) recommends several actions including the design of ‘Microparks’ or key nodes identified for further enhancement along
Main Street. Council has subsequently engaged Hansen Partnership to design 3 micro parks in order to commence the project.
Update: The consultants have prepared concept plans for the Micro Parks which are now being reviewed by Council officers.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 30

Context Analysis and Design Response Guide
The planning scheme requires developers to submit a Context Analysis & Design Response with their planning applications. Counci l’s Design Advisory Panel has for some time expressed concern over the quality of the Context Analysis & Design Response information provided by development applicants.
This project involves preparation of a guide which clearly and concisely defines the purpose and required content of Context Analysis & Design Response documentation, as a guide for architects, designers and developers.
Update: A draft for Context Analysis and Design Response guide has been prepared for consultation and is currently under review prior to being reported to Council.
Hastings High Street Streetscape Framework Plan
Council officers have commenced preparation of a project brief to engage consultants for the preparation of a streetscape framework plan for High Street, Hastings, to guide the implementation of streetscape improvements.
Update: A Project Brief is currently being prepared for the High Street Streetscape
Framework Plan, with a view to engaging consultants by late July 2014
Design Advisory Panel
The following planning applications / proposed developments were reviewed by the Shir e’s Design
Advisory Panel in June 2014:
• 4 June 2014: 87 Salmon Street, Hastings
A DAP Workshop for a proposed 16 unit 3 storey development located at the intersection of
Salmon Street and Mullett Street was held in Hastings, with panel members and the applicant team. The DAP Report has been provided to the Statutory Planner for his consideration and further action.
STATUTORY PLANNING REFERRALS
In January there were 16 referrals received and 10 responses provided.
In February there were 11 referrals received and 13 responses provided.
In March there were 12 referrals received and 10 responses provided.
In April there were 10 referrals received and 8 responses provided.
In May there were 18 referrals received and 21 responses provided.
In June there were 7 referrals received and 16 responses provided.
Financially, the positive year end variance results primarily from lower than anticipated expenditure on legal costs, heritage advice, printing and stationery, which have more than offset higher than anticipated expenditure on advertising, catering, parking and travel. Some significant accounts payable in June are likely to reduce the overall variance.

Planning Applications
Council received 184 planning applications this month and decided 160 planning applications. This is demonstrated by the below graph, which also shows that, as at the end of June, 700 planning applications remain in hand. The number of applications in hand over the past 12 months has remained relatively stable, as can be seen on the graph below.
Of the applications decided, 84% of applications were decided in the statutory timeframe. This is the second highest performance of the financial year – the highest performance was returned in
July 2013, with 85% of applications decided ‘in time’, and coincided with the introduction of the
Engineering Conditions Meeting to streamline the receipt of drainage/engineering comments on current planning applications (this was a DRIP improvement). This mont h’s performance reflects an end of year ‘push’ to decide planning applications in time.

Planning S72 Amendment Applications
Council received 24 planning amendment applications this month and decided 29 planning amendment applications. This is demonstrated by the below graph, which also shows that, as at the end of June, 83 planning amendment applications remain in hand. Again, this workload has remained stable since November 2013.
Secondary Consent Applications
Council received 41 planning amendment applications this month and decided 26 planning amendment applications. This is demonstrated by the below graph, which also shows that, as at
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 33

the end of June, 70 planning amendment applications remain in hand. The in-hand figure of secondary consent applications has been erratic throughout the last 12 months, although the Unit is currently investigating ways to ‘stabilise’ (as much as possible) the in-hand number of applications relating to secondary consent by, potentially, designating the decision-making of these applications to specific officers.
Planning Areas Map
Team North:
Team North received 27 applications this month and decided 11 applications; of the applications decided, 55% were decided in time. The month of June saw a number of team changes in Team
North, including the retirement of a long-serving Team Leader and this had consequential impacts on the number of applications decided in time.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 34

• Applications of interest:
P14/0930: 51 Van Ness Avenue, Mornington (Craig Smith)
The application is for 4 double storey dwellings on a site with an area of 1027 square metres.
P14/0951: 786 Esplanade, Mornington (James Bryan)
The application proposes the construction of 4-storey building (including basement) comprising 3 commercial tenancies on the ground floor, and 9 dwellings (apartments) on the first and second floors. The site is adjacent to “Counting House restaurant.” A planning permit was issued for a similar proposal in 2012.
Team South:
Team South received 57 applications and decided 29 applications. Of those applications decided,
70% were done within time, closely followed by 10% of applications decided between 61 and 80 statutory days. Over the past 12 months, Team South has averaged 52% of applications decided within time. The performance increase in June is a reflection of stable staff numbers as well as a focus on processes and procedures to ensure timeliness of decision-making. During this period, the team also received 12 Section 72 amendment applications and determined 3 of these applications. This was in part due to the complex nature of many of these applications which required either advertising or CFA referrals.
• Applications of interest:
P13/1969: 57-59 Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento (Kym Umbers)
This is an application for development and use of the land for a ground level shop and 6 apartments above. The design of the building seeks to optimise the rise in elevation of the land from Ocean Beach Road at the front to Hayes Avenue at the rear. The resulting design creates a
2-storey building fa çade to Ocean Beach Road, a 3-storey façade to Hayes Avenue and 4 levels of accommodation within the central section of the site. An innovative car parking system that responds to the relatively narrow site width for on-site, includes the use of a turn-table. The application has received 6 objections.
This application poses some major challenges that need to be addressed, including urban design, heritage context, and traffic engineering. These issues are awaiting internal referral comments before progressing to a decision on the application.
P13/2100: 4 Boneo Road, Rosebud (Kym Umbers)
This application is for the use and development of part of the land for 2 food and drink premises.
Two objections have been lodged. The application raises issues of out-of-centre retailing (being outside of the Rosebud Commercial Precinct), as well as the need to integrate with 2 existing petrol filling stations and 2 mechanical workshops on the same site.
• Update on VCAT appeals
P03/2881.12: 50 Iona Street, St Andrews Beach (Arthur Cooksley)
This was an application to extend Planning Permit P03/2881 for 2 years. The permit, which was issued in 2005, approved the development of 8 dwellings and subdivision of the land into 8 lots.
Council refused to extend the planning permit, principally because of the significant change in planning controls and policies that applied to the land compared to when the permit was first issued. This decision was appealed to VCAT and was heard by VCAT at a Practice Day hearing.
The Tribunal raised the prospect that the development component of the planning permit may, in fact, have expired in 2007 – making the current proceedings futile. Council sought its own independent advice on this question. It was confirmed that the development component had indeed expired in 2007 and this could not be extended.
The matter is still listed for a merits hearing on 2 August, however it is anticipated that the
Applicant for Review will withdraw the proceeding.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 35

P13/1545: 231 Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento (Arthur Cooksley)
This is an application to subdivide the “Whitehall” guest house into 6 lots. An appeal was lodged against Counc il’s failure to grant a permit within the statutory time. The appeal is scheduled to be heard on 2 July 2014.
Council has been actively working with the permit applicant and the one objector, towards reaching a settlement. Such an agreement has now been reached and a request has been made for VCAT to settle the matter based on a consent order. At the time of preparing this report, it was not known whether or not the matter would be resolve d “on the papers”.
P12/0042: 1104 Boneo Road, Cape Schanck (Kym Umbers)
This was an application to subdivide the land adjacent to The Cups Drive Cape Schanck, and to develop a dwelling on the new lot. Council had approved the application and an appeal against the decision was successfully lodged by a neighbouring objector. The Tribunal ordered that no permit was to issue. The decision did, however, highlight that the determination was based on the failure of the application to properly address the native vegetation controls. For this reason, the permit applicant applied to VCAT for the decision to be reviewed and for a permit to issue for the subdivision and dwelling – leaving the native vegetation issue to be resolved by separate permit application. This application was denied by VCAT.
The permit applicant subsequently lodged an application with the Supreme Court on the basis that
VCAT erred at law in not granting a permit for the elements of the application for which there was no dispute. A preliminary hearing, which was primarily aimed at seeking an adjournment of the proceedings, was conducted on 27 June 2014.
While Council had legal representation at the preliminary hearing, it is adopting a “neutral” position on the matter, as the arguments of whether or not VCAT erred at law are legal arguments which sit outside of the merits of the permit application (for which Council had originally resolved to approve).
The Court has reserved its decision on the adjournment. The ultimate decision of the Supreme
Court will be an important one insofar as it will clarify whether or not VCAT has an obligation to isolate the elements of an integrated permit application for which there is no dispute, and potentially grant a “part permit” for those aspects alone.
• Community Consultation
Officers conducted a range of consultation meetings during the month, including:
• 1 Planning Application Conference involving 4 people,
• 6 informal meetings with applicants and/or objectors involving a total of 7 people, and
• 10 pre application meetings involving a total of 16 people.
Team East:
Team East received 48 applications this month and decided 45 applications. Of those applications decided, 79% were done within time with a further 13% decided between 61 and 80 statutory days.
Over the past 12 months on average, Team East has decided 71% of applications ‘in time’ and so this mont h’s performance represents a higher than average performance for this team and is mainly attributed to a stable workforce in this team over this period.
• Update on VCAT appeals
P12/1417: 9 Tasman Road, Somers, (Jane Lowson)
This appeal related to Counc il’s refusal to grant a permit for a new two storey development at the above address, primarily on neighbourhood character grounds, and failure to meet the design outcomes sought by the various overlays that applied to the site. Several of the objectors to the application joined as parties to the appeal, which was held over three days. The Tribunal member conducted an accompanied site visit following the hearing, and was able to view the application site as well as view the property from the neighbouring properties. The member upheld Council ’s
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 36

refusal, noting the sensitive context of this coastal setting meant that there were limits as to how large a house the site could reasonably accommodate.
Given the increasing pressure for approval of large dwellings in coastal village settings on the
Peninsula, this decision is seen as significant in recognising the intent of the planning controls that apply to the land, and the design response outcomes that are expected.
P13/0448: 87 Byrnes Road, Shoreham (Jane Lowson)
This application relates to an objector appeal against Counci l’s Notice of Decision to issue a permit for a mixed use development at the Shoreham Post Office site. Matters in dispute primarily related to carparking, and protecting the amenity of the adjoining residential land. A consent order was issued by the Tribunal following successful mediation sessions (informal mediation held at Council
Offices prior to the formal mediation at VCAT) between all parties prior to a full merits hearing.
• Community Consultation
A Design Advisory Panel workshop was held for a 3-storey residential apartment development with basement car parks in Salmon Street, Hastings. The meeting was attended by the applicant/architect, who was able to discuss the design brief with the Panel. It is anticipated that design alterations incorporating changes suggested by the panel will be forthcoming, prior to the application being advertised.
A Planning Application Conference was held at Counc il’s Hastings Office regarding a proposed residential subdivision in Baxter. The meeting was attended by the applicant, several objectors, and the ward Councillor. The applicant suggested some layout alterations as well as some built form restrictions as a means of addressing concerns, however did not wish to reduce the lot yield as requested by objectors.
Officers also conducted a range of consultation meetings during the month, including:
• A meeting with residents regarding the Freeway Service Centres in Baxter.
• 5 meetings specific to Martha Cove matters, held both on site and in Shire Offices.
• 27 informal meetings with applicants and/or objectors as part of the usual assessment process.
• 14 pre-application meetings.
Team Central:
Team Central received 65 applications and decided 63 applications. Of those applications decided,
96% were done within time. The 96% of applications decided within 60 days exceeds the team target of 72% and is the highest outcome achieved by the team this financial year.
The number of applications received and decided by the Team in July 2013 are both above the monthly average of 64 applications received and 58 applications decided. The great results over the past two months are due to the employment of a casual planner to help redistribute the work within the team.
• Update on VCAT appeals
P13/09241 – 72 Adelaide Street, Blairgowrie (Warrick Gorman)
The applicant appeal was lodged after Council refused the application to retain an existing carport constructed without a planning permit. Council are yet to be notified of VCAT ’s decision from the
June hearing.
• Applications of interest:
P13/1801 – 278 Eastbourne Road Rosebud (Lauren Lain)
The application proposes the staged subdivision of the land into 18 lots. The existing building adjacent to Tea Tree Place is being retained on a large lot of 6695sqm. Officer ’s decision is likely to be in the next 2 weeks. .
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 37

• Community Consultation
Officers conducted a range of consultation meetings during the month, including:
• 1 meeting related to VCAT proceeding;
• 6 pre-application meetings; and
• 9 other meetings with parties as part of the normal application process.
Subdivision Applications:
Eight planning permits were issued this month resulting in the creation of 15 net new lots across the Peninsula. Thirty-one plans were certified and 28 Statements of Compliance were issued.
Planning Support:
The Planning Support team received a total of 3,243 telephone calls in the month of June. Of these, 91% (target is 80%) of calls were answered within twenty seconds and 99% (target is 95%) of calls were answered within two minutes. This is the fourth consecutive month that the team has exceeded the corporate timeframes for answering incoming calls. This is directly attributable to the recent introduction of a decentralised system for managing incoming phone calls. The team also serviced approximately 688 counter enquiries this month which was a decrease of 21% from last month and a no change from this time last year.
Financially, the Unit has returned an unfavourable month to date variance of $133k. This is attributed to overspend in salaries, advertising of applications, the use of external professional consultants and parking/travel expenses, but has been somewhat counterbalanced by favourable end of month returns in legal professionals and other sundry items.

FIRE PREVENTION AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Exercise Moonah
The Mornington Peninsula Shire along with partner agencies with emergency management responsibilities participated in a tactical exercise referred to as ‘Exercise Moonah’ on 24 June
2014. Exercise Moonah involved the setup of the Municipal Emergency Coordination Centre
(MECC) and the Emergency Relief Centre (ERC) to test inter-agency communication between the centres in accordance with the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP).
The objectives of the exercise included:
1. Practise the Municipal Emergency Coordination Centre setup plan:
• Ensure the setup plan is correct and relevant.
2. Practise the Emergency Relief Centre setup plan:
• Ensure the setup plan is correct and relevant.
3. Assess the communication between the MECC and ERC:
• Is there suitable information and communication technology (ICT) available to all agencies in the relief centre?
• Are the participating officers competent in the use of Crisisworks?
• Are agencies able to sustain communication for the duration of a long incident?
• Ensure briefing process and handovers are conducted in accordance with SMEACS
(situation, mission, execution, administration and communication).
4. Practice shift change:
• Ensure the briefing process and handovers are thorough.
• Explore personnel shortages and the capacity to man facilities.
• Ensure the briefing process and handovers are conducted in accordance with SMEACS.
In preparation for Exercise Moonah the Shire went through a significant recruitment period of upskilling approximately 70 Shire officers in emergency management related training to participate in either the MECC or ERC during a major emergency.
Exercise Moonah was based upon a hypothetical hazardous materials incident in Hastings. Main parts of the exercise involved fuel storage tanks catching fire, a subsequent smoke plume due to the fire requiring evacuation of nearby areas, an issuing of an emergency warning to residents due to the smoke and the establishment and functioning of a MECC and ERC.
With wild weather occurring on the day, Exercise Moonah was cut short due to real power outages on the Mornington Peninsula and many staff involved in the exercise needed to urgently go back to their normal role. The exercise has brought considerable learnings for all agencies and a report will be prepared recommending how agencies can better prepare for real emergencies in the future.

Storm Event – Tuesday 24 June 2014
A number of the Environment Protection and Community Safety Teams were involved in the storm event that took place on 24 June 2014.
Emergency Management Team
Whilst the emergency management exercise was in full swing at the Shire office in Mornington, the
Mornington Peninsula was coincidentally being subjected to wild weather. Strong gusts of up to
100km/h passed through the Mornington Peninsula with particularly rough weather and a huge swell along foreshore areas. As a result of the wild weather, there was a significant amount of trees down and damage to Council assets that the Shir e’s Sustainable Infrastructure Maintenance
Services (SIMS2) were busy cleaning up over the next few days.
Mornington Peninsula Shire officers attended the State Emergency Service (SES) Divisional
Command Post in Frankston to assist in the coordination of Council and SES crews. The Shire officer s’ job was to ensure the agencies were working collaboratively and to check there weren’t any doubling up of jobs. Often residents will call SES and the Mornington Peninsula Shire for assistance during storms, so coordinating resources effectively during large storm events is critically important.

Monthly Report June 2014 Page 41

Environmental Health Team
Due to the extreme weather, power outages were reported throughout the Mornington Peninsula.
In response to the situation the Environmental Health Team sent out information to all class one, two and three food businesses explaining the importance of food safety during power outages. The information specifically related to the storage of food in refrigerators and freezers.
Statutory Building Team
The Statutory Building Team has been extremely busy dealing with numerous concerns raised by the public due to the storm. Over the past week brick fences, swimming pool barriers, roof sheets and boatsheds have all been damaged due to strong winds, requiring officers to attend and assess damage and work with owners to make safe.
Shire Ranger Team
The wild weather which occurred during the month also impacted on the Shire Ranger Team with staff responding to a request by Victoria Police to assist with traffic management associated with the storm event. In addition, officers spent a number of hours pulling branches of trees off roads and gathering blown building materials.
Telecommunications on the Mornington Peninsula
The Shire continues to advocate to the State and Commonwealth Government as well as network providers concerning the $100m Commonwealth Government
‘Mobile Coverage Programme and
Improving Capacity and Coverage (including black spots) on the Mornington Peninsula ’.
On Monday 30 June 2014 the Shire held another meeting with key stakeholders concerning improving telecommunications coverage and capacity as well as reducing black spots on the
Mornington Peninsula. This meeting included the Country Fire Authority, the Emergency
Management Commissioner, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. The meeting was also attended by the
Hon Paul Fletcher MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Communications and the Hon
Greg Hunt MP, Minister for Environment.
COMMUNITY ANIMAL SHELTER
Dogs
As we head into the winter months some places get quieter on the Peninsula. This cannot be said about our Community Animal Shelter, with a total of 115 dogs coming in to the shelter in the month of June. It was pleasing that 99 of these dogs were microchipped, which increases the opportunity to get them back to their owner, and 63 dogs were desexed. Forty of these dogs were registered with the Shire, which means owners not only get their dog back quicker but also avoid the ‘failing to
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 42

registe r’ infringement which is $289. Sixty-eight dogs were reunited with their owners and this is usually within 24/48 hours after being placed in the shelter.
Eighteen of the dogs made their way to wonderful rescue groups such as Australian Working Dog
Rescue, New Beginnings, Homeless Hounds, Labrador Rescue and The Australian Animal
Protection Society (Keysborough).
Once again, only three dogs needed to be euthanized, which is an incredible effort by the staff and volunteers when 115 dogs were cared for at the Community Animal Shelter.
Pictured left: Buddy, one of our rescue dogs, is being groomed and washed in the new step bath donated by Australian Rescue Association.
Pictured right: Sam Smith (Shelter staff member) with television personality
Steve Jacobs.
Cats
A total of 48 cats came through the Community Animal Shelter and once again the statistics are not as good as the dogs. Only five cats were microchipped and 11 desexed, but thankfully 11 were registered which is better than previous months. Eight cats unfortunately had to be euthanised and this is quite common due to extreme poor health. Thankfully five of the cats were able to be reunited with their owners.
Once again Rescue Groups were fantastic and we thank the Peninsula Cat Rescue and The
Australian Animal Protection Society (Keysborough). The Shire also would like to thank the
Peninsula Vet Care Clinic in East Mornington, Rye Beach and Rosebud.
Direct Adoptions
The Community Animal Shelter Team (staff and volunteers) are continuing to do some fantastic proactive work towards direct adoptions from the Community Animal Shelter. PetRescue
(Austr alia’s most visited charity website) is our preferred choice for putting suitable animals up for adoption and we encourage you to take a look at the animals that are available. We have had five dogs and one cat adopted in the past month, which is a fantastic outcome. The website is http://www.petrescue.com.au/groups/10803
Pictured left: This beautiful cat we named “Portia Devine” was adopted.
The response to the animals placed on the website has been amazing, with enquiries coming from far and wide and at all times of the day and night. Check out our article in the next
Peninsula Wide newsletter.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 43

Livestock
There were three animals that came through the Community Animal Shelter under the livestock banner, a rabbit, a chicken and a cockatiel. The cockatiel was reunited with its owner after alerts went out via social media.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Food Safety
Food Complaints
This month the Shire received 13 complaints from the public in relation to food or the condition of a food business. These complaints have been or are currently under investigation.
The complaints were primarily about dirty premises, poor food handling practices, food poisoning and gastrointestinal illness outbreaks.
Food Recalls
There were two food recalls issued by Food Safety Australia and New Zealand or the Department of Human Services over the month which were followed up by the Environmental Health Team.
One was due to foreign material contamination and the other was due to undeclared allergens.
Food Safety Assessments
The Environmental Health Team has undertaken 127 assessments of fixed food business and 39 of temporary food business.
The Team have also undertaken 33 new registrations/notifications and 140 Statements of Trade were processed through the online registering system known as Streatrader.
Public Health & Wellbeing
Tattooist
The Victorian Chief Health Officer issued a safety warning about a number of tattoo inks that had been recalled in Europe as some of the products contain a chemical compound
(phenylenediamines) and/or higher than permitted levels of trace metal contaminants. The health concern for nickel in relation to tattooing is sensitisation, however it is not carcinogenic. The
Environmental Health Team provided the information to all proprietors of tattoo parlours in the municipality.
Merit Requests
The Environmental Health Team received 49 complaints for the month. These complaints were in relation to smoky chimneys, asbestos, rubbish, odours and hoarding. All have been investigated by the Environmental Health Team.
SHIRE RANGERS
The Shire Ranger Team dealt with approximately 880 reactive cases over the past month, which is higher than expected. The following table provides a breakdown of the main case types received over the past 12 months with the associated increases in the main work types.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 44

The following table shows the breakdown of cases received this month.
Senior members of the Shire Ranger Team attended a ministerial training session hosted by the
Department of Environment and Primary Industries. This session involved training in the standard related to the Domestic Animals Act, specifically the restricted breed dog legislation.
Parking Ticket Machines
The Shire has introduced an online system to purchase boat ramp parking tickets. The new system will eventually replace the aging parking ticket machines from Shire boat ramps and foreshore car parks. During the next few months the Shire will undertake a communication strategy to increase awareness of the new system with the aim of having all the aging ticket machines removed by
October / November 2014.
Cases of Interest
This month the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) provided a response to an appeal to declare two dogs from Red Hill dangerous. The dogs were involved in an attack on stock early in the year. The owner of the dogs had been prosecuted for the incident and appealed the declaration. After a couple of months of deliberation the tribunal upheld the decision to declare.
The dogs no longer live within this municipality and the relevant council has been advised.
PLANNING COMPLIANCE
‘Pen Eco’ Sewerage Project
The Planning Compliance Team has been liaising with project managers of the South East Water
‘Pen Eco’ sewerage project in relation to monitoring the required removal of native vegetation and, more importantly, the retention of any other vegetation not approved for removal. This is a substantial project as it is one of the biggest of its kind. Officers are impressed at the level of professionalism on this project which is progressing in compliance with the permit. All vegetation removed is being offset with like vegetation.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 45

Austin Road Development
Council attended the Frankston Magistrates Court this month, where it brought multiple charges against a developer who pleaded guilty to failing to comply with the approved Environment
Management Plan; operating outside of the approved construction times and commencing works prior to completed plans being approved by Council. The Magistrate remarked that the developer had neglected his duties in relation to the planning permit, issued an $8k penalty and ordered him to pay Councils costs.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The Shir e’s Environmental Health Team held a free information session about food safety,
Streatrader and the Best Bites Food Guide Program. Various food businesses and community volunteers attended this session.
Financially, the favourable monthly outcome is due to greater than predicted income from infringements and fees.

Winter Events
Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association [MPVA] held their Winter Wine Weekend where 1400 patrons attended. MPVA were very pleased with the event. A younger demographic attended and purchased a sizable quantity of local wines. The eight local restaurants who catered at the event did a roaring trade as well.
The event cannot grow anymore at the Red Hill Showgrounds, but growth can occur at the wineries and this is planned for the next stage.
MPVA also conducted a progressive Winery Walk, from the Red Hill Showgrounds to Merricks, and
220 patrons participated. This was the largest winery walk ever conducted and the MPVA plan to run two or three per annum.
Taste of Sorrento this year was the biggest and best ever in its short history. Thousands of participants attended on the Sunday and throughout the week many venues sold out of their ticketed dinners. The Progressive Dinner was the real success of the week long event. The street market operated brilliantly, with many stallholders selling out.
Mornington Jazz Festival also went very well. This year there were an additional 25 free acts around the streets to spread the festival benefits. There was a high level of positive feedback received from the traders and the Market on Saturday worked well. The Peninsula Homemaker
Centre and the Tourist Train all participated this year. The event has grown remarkably in its short history.
Economic Development Strategy 2014 – 2017
The draft Economic Development Strategy 2014 – 2017 has been presented to Executive. With some refinements made, it is anticipated the draft Strategy will be provided to Councillors shortly.
EDU Strategic Review
In tandem with the development of the 2014-2017 Economic Development Strategy, there is a need to consider the future structure and focus of the EDU
’s activities. The historical structure of the EDU with two teams has served Council and our local economy very well to this stage. Now it is timely to consider how the EDU can more effectively and efficiently deliver a range of programs that will help our businesses grow and employ more staff in these challenging times.
The strategic review is anticipated to take two to three months with four workshops producing a
Draft Structure and Function Paper. Vicki Bishop, Best Practice Facilitator, will lead the review process and workshops.
Food Industry Advisory Body (FIAB)
Members of the Body have started to workshop logo ’s and trust marks, with an initial three designs being ruled out and another four designs commissioned. The key to any design is that its mark be distinguishable, certifiable and not misleading. Initially, once a trust mark has been developed, key producers will be asked their opinion of the trust mark.
To date 20 producers have agreed ‘in principle’ to participate in the trust mark program.
Agricultural Audit 2014
This year ’s audit has demonstrated substantial growth in local agricultural production and this has been evidenced by utilising local experts to survey major industry enterprises. The audit has estimated approximately $1.1billion of production with value added processing; this clearly demonstrates that the Mornington Peninsula rural areas are highly productive and warrant further protection from inappropriate development.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 47

The audit has highlighted areas for opportunity and the EDU will pursue these opportunities as part of their annual business plans.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

This program has been very successful with positive feedback from all participants and from the program coordinators. At the conclusion of the workshop participants were presented with their certificates by the Mayor Cr Celi and Dee Ryall MP, Member for Mitcham.
Small Business Mentoring Clinics
The Small Business Mentoring Clinics (SBMC) is a service provided to small business operators as a partnership between the Small Business Mentoring Service and Mornington Peninsula Shire.
SBMC is designed to provide a central point where individual businesses can meet with an experienced Mentor in a private session to gain information that assists them in setting up a business, or, for established businesses, to gain assistance in working through issues they may be dealing with. Four small businesses took advantage of the sessions on 17 June.

Economic Impacts of the Port of Hastings
Southern Melbourne Regional Development Australia will be commencing communication activities to release the findings of the Economic Impacts of the Port of Hastings report. This report was commissioned by Southern Melbourne and Gippsland Regional Development Australia
Committees and Melbour ne’s South East last year. As part of the communication activities, councils will be provided with material to help communicate key messages of the report.
Melbourne ’s South East (MSE)
MSE has recently undertaken a strategic review to determine key projects and delivery methodology. Consultation with members occurred as part of the review process.
The key finding from the review indicated that support for one larger group has faded and that the overwhelming majority of members support two smaller groups. MSE has subsequently supported this concept proposal.
As part of the transition, the southern eastern group (which includes Mornington Peninsula Shire) will be seeking feedback from its members on its role and fit with existing regional groups. In the mean time it is proposed the southern eastern group support the South East Metro Council Forum on economic development activities.
TOURISM
Accommodation Bookings
June to date shows a decrease of 8% in bookings made for June 2013. However the average spend per night has increased from an average of $192 per night to $226 per night. The expenditure could be attributed to accommodation providers not offering or discounting rooms as much as in previous years.
Visitors to the Visitor Centre
Not too much difference between June this year and last year. Walk in visitors have increased by
6% and incoming phone calls have decreased by 0.3%. The people visiting or contacting the
Visitor Information Centre are predominantly from Melbourne (39%), followed by Other Victoria
(26%), International (15%), Interstate (15%), Unknown (3%), Local (2%).
2015 Australian Coastal Councils Conference
Mornington Peninsula Shire, in conjunction with Frankston City Council, has successfully bid to host the National Sea Change Taskforce Inc “2015 Australian Coastal Councils Conference” to be held in March 2015. Organisers anticipate up to 250 delegates will attend the conference, which will bring together representatives of member councils and others to network and share knowledge and understanding about issues surrounding the sea change phenomenon in coastal Australia.
Conference sessions will include a number of high profile key note speakers, government representatives and industry experts. Also included in the program will be a range of field trips to areas across the region, providing a platform to showcase the important work being undertaken by the Shire to addresses the impact of sea change on our coastline. The direct economic value to our community through hosting the conference is estimated to be $250,000.
Tourism Industry Networking Event
41 tourism business representatives attended the June event to develop their business to business contacts and further their regional tourism industry knowledge. Attendees were updated on
Economic Development Unit matters, Regional Tourism Board activities, Visitor Information Centre highlights and a range of opportunities for their business. Host venue, Woodman Estate, presented
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 49

to the group and six other tourism businesses were also showcased. A delicious signature
Woodman Estate High Tea was provided for attendees to enjoy while networking with other tourism industry operators. Many also took the opportunity for a ‘behind the scenes tour’ of the facilities, to further their knowledge and improve their ability to cross promote.
Mornington Peninsula Tourism (MPT) organises these tourism industry networking events several times a year to ensure that local tourism businesses are given regular opportunities to network and stay up to date.
Capital Expenditure Funding
Plans for the refurbishment of the Mornington Peninsula Visitor Information Centre at Dromana will go out to tender in late June, with works set to commence in August. Apart from the new roof, the refurbishment will include works to make the building “accessible” and OH&S friendly; including disabled public toilets, self-opening front door, wider office doorways, improved customer service areas, brochure storage drawers and a small meeting room.
The tourism team (plus 40 volunteers) will temporarily relocate to a newly created office space within the Foreshore Camping Office at Rosebud. This new office will not only be suitable for the tourism team ’s short term needs, but will be able to be used as a training room once the tourism team returns to their Visitor Centre. The tourism team is also creating an industry funded new permanent Tourism display at the Foreshore Camping Office.
Mornington Peninsula Conference Bureau (MPCB)
• Membership: The new membership year is commencing for businesses keen to court business events and conferences. The MPCB has launched a new-look membership prospectus and sales are continuing. The MPCB currently has 46 members and is seeking renewals from all, as well as seeking out new participants.
• Familiarisation: Business Events Victoria (BEV) escorted a group of eight professional conference organisers and corporate decision makers to Mornington Peninsula in June to undertake a tour and site inspections. RACV hosted the group overnight. MPT met with the group and provided an introductory presentation to the region and some wine, food, farmgate welcome kits. BEV will provide MPCB with feedback from the participants, outlining their perceptions of the region and its suitability for their client s’ needs.
• MPCB Data Portal: Industry data input to the portal is currently at 75-95%. Several enhancements have been made to the portal ready for roll out in early July. Nominal changes have been made to questionnaire content to make it easier for members to understand. Urban
Enterprise Pty Ltd is also reviewing the methodology used for data extraction to ensure figures are more robust.
• MPCB Planners Guide: A scoping document for the new Planners Guide has been drafted and industry advertising sales will commence in July.
Official Mornington Peninsula Visitor Guide
Advertising sales for the next annual official guide have begun strongly. Already sales total
$127,860.
Fantasvic Trade Mission
Each year the Australian Tourism Export Council stages a trade mission in Melbourne to enable tourism businesses to meet with key inbound tour operators. The mission provides exposure for businesses from Victoria and from Tasmania, hence the name ‘Fantasvic’. Inbound tour operators are flown in from all around Australia and meet in a series of ‘speed dating’ type appointments with tourism businesses during the day. Post the mission, the inbound tour operators are whisked out of the city to experience some of the regions. MPT attended the trade mission and hosted 30 appointments during the day.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 50

South East Asia Super Trade Mission
Mornington Peninsula Tourism participated in the South East Asia Super Trade Mission led by the
Hon Louise Asher MP, Minister for Innovation, Tourism and Major Events, Employment and Trade.
The mission included 180 delegates from industries such as education, agriculture, urban development, communications and tourism. There were 26 representatives in the tourism sector, including Regional Tourism Boards, regional and Melbourne metropolitan products. The mission provided tourism participants with market briefings, media functions, one to one product manager workshops and one to many agent training presentations. These sessions promoted Mornington
Peninsula as a destination of choice to 90 product managers, 150 travel agents and approximately
100 media representatives from both Malaysia and Singapore. South East Asia is a key source market for Mornington Peninsula.
Corroboree Greater China
Mornington Peninsula Tourism represented the region at the Tourism Australia Corroboree Greater
China (CGC14) event. CGC14 is the inaugural Australia-based trade event conducted over three days on the Gold Coast. The event combined a training workshop and familiarisations for over 270 qualified Aussie Specialist agents from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The event provided a professional forum for Australian sellers to train these qualified Aussie Specialist agents and strengthen their specific product knowledge. China is a fast growing source market for visitors to Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula.
Familiarisations
• MPT hosted a familiarisation for seven Product Managers from the Scandinavian travel wholesale company Australiareisor. Mornington Peninsula was the only region outside
Melbourne to be showcased to this important company. Australiareisor run all STA travel outlets in Scandinavia as well as a luxury travel brand.
• Mei Hojo, a Japanese media familiarisation tour, visited Horseback Winery Tours, Red Hill
Cheese and Foxeys Hangout.
• Following a recent familiarisation tour from US travel writer Elaine Glusac, Mornington
Peninsula will be included in the National Geographic ‘Best of the World 2015’ list. The submission will be based on Elaine’s experiences on her day trip here. She really loved the experiences included in Wine Food Farmgate and said it was better than she had anticipated.
• A Samsung media group from South East Asia countries escorted by Tourism Victoria visited attractions overnight on the Mornington Peninsula to capture some photographic opportunities.
Financially, the Economic Development Unit has finished the financial year close to budget expectation.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire, in partnership with Frankston City Council, has successfully bid to host the National Sea Change Task Force 2015 Australian Coastal Councils Conference, to be held in March 2015.
Mornington Peninsula tourism participated in the South East Asia Super Trade Mission, led by the
Victorian Minister for Innovation, Tourism and Major Events, Employment and Trade. The
Mornington Peninsula was promoted as a destination of choice to 90 product managers, 50 travel agents and approximately 100 media representatives from both Malaysia and Singapore.
Southeast Asia is a key source market for Mornington Peninsula tourism.
The Shir e’s agricultural audit 2014 has demonstrated substantial growth in local agricultural production. The audit has estimated approximately $1.1 billion of production with value added processing.
The Shire, in partnership with other emergency management agencies, participated in a tactical exercise referred to as ‘Exercise Moonah’ on 24 June 2014. In accordance with the municipal
Emergency Management Plan, the exercise involved setting up the Municipal Emergency Co- ordination Centre, practising the emergency relief centre set up plan, and assessing communication between participating agencies. As a result of this exercise, the considerable learnings for all agencies will be captured in a report recommending how agencies can better prepare for real emergencies in the future. Congratulations to all involved. Overall, the exercise was very beneficial. The next exercise is planned for October this year.
The Shire has introduced an online system to purchase boat ramp parking tickets. This new process will be implemented over the next few months, and supported by a communication strategy to inform the community and boat ramp users.
Congratulations to the Shir e’s Statutory Planning team, whereby 84% of planning permit applications were decided in the statutory timeframe for June 2014. This is an excellent result and demonstrates our strong commitment to driving responsiveness, innovation and productivity
(DRIP). Overall on average for 2013/14, 71% of planning permit applications were decided in the statutory timeframe (Council ’s target was 65%). Interestingly over the 2013/14 period, the planning team serviced a total of 8,574 counter enquiries and 37,371 telephone calls.
During June, Council resolved to commence a public exhibition and consultation process for the draft Hastings Activity Centre Structure Plan. Pleasingly, Amendment C162 Mount Eliza Woodland was approved by the Minister for Planning and gazetted on 26 June 2014.

INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AND POLICY
PenBus
The PenBus now has 484 registered users, with daily patronage of around 160 users per day.
Evidence from the latest round of user surveys and project reporting is that several users have said that PenBus has influenced their decision to study at Monash. Many have said that it has substantially reduced the travel burden to and from university, removing one of the major barriers to tertiary study for those living on the Peninsula.
Work has commenced on achieving on-going funding for PenBus beyond the current funding period to 30 June 2015. The ultimate outcome is to have it continued as a public bus route, however if this is not successful in the short term alternative options need to be considered. At this stage nothing has been ruled out, and several options are being developed by the project steering committee. The detail and feasibility of these will be worked on over the next few months.
Footpath Construction Strategy
Special Charge Schemes – total length over 5.6km
Detailed scoping work on 10 footpath special charge scheme projects in Sorrento, McCrae,
Rosebud, Dromana, Mount Martha and Mornington is largely complete. Reports to progress the schemes are now being prepared for Council.
Elizabeth Street Path, Mornington – length 445m
The contract for these works has now been finalised, permitting the preparation of a report to
Council for final costs for the scheme. Once the report is adopted, invoices will be sent to property owners.
Fully Funded Path Works
Lempriere Avenue Footpath, Mt Martha – length 50m
With a contractor now engaged, works on this path are expected to begin shortly.
Watts and Coolstore Roads Footpath, Hastings – length 550m
Construction is nearing completion with the majority of the concrete footpath in place. Service pit adjustments and site clean-up work is ongoing.
Nepean Highway Shared Path, Mount Eliza – length 350m
Planning and environmental requirements are now finalised, however construction of this path must take place in school holidays due to its proximity to the Peninsula School. Construction will therefore be postponed until September at the sc hool’s request.
The Loop/Point Nepean Road Shared Path, Blairgowrie – 1.5km
A tender has been accepted by the Council and works are expected to begin shortly.
Street Construction Special Charge Schemes
Waterfall Gully Road, Rosebud
Property owners were invited to a special charge scheme information evening held on 25 June. A report to Council is now being prepared to progress the scheme.

TRAFFIC AND ROAD SAFETY
Hastings West Park Reserve Project
The highly anticipated Group Design Review from CoDesign was presented by Hugh and his team at the Wallaroo Residents Group meeting held on Wednesday the 25 th of June. It detailed the prospective projects that have been recommended by the local community as items they would like to see in their Reserve. Some of the projects detailed in this design review are listed below;
• BMX track upgrade and modifications
Current Proposed
• Active Play Area and Options
• Playground upgrade and expansion
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 54

• BBQ Shelter & Seating
Swale Design
If you would like more information please see this link; http://www.the-hive.com.au/projects/wallaroo/
Each individual project description detailed what engagement from the community had been organised by
Co Design. This includes locally sourced materials, labour and expertise by the community to help engage and create pride for Wallaroo Reserve, their Reserve.
The Wallaroo Community Members then voted on the three projects they would like to see in the Reserve first. The BBQ has been ordered and is due to be installed in the next month with the shelter to be installed in the near future.
In addition to the progress made with the project, the West Park Rejuvenation Project placed an entrance in the Tidy Towns, Keep Australia Beautiful Awards. The judge came out to The Wallaroo Community Centre on Thursday the 26 th of June.
The photos below show the Wallaroo community members with the judge. The allocated 30mins was spent by the community members describing what the rejuvenation project will do for them, and how the changes in the culture of the community have led to such an engaged and important project for the people of
Wallaroo.
It will be announced later in the year if the Wallaroo Rejuvenation Project has been successful in scoring a nomination into the ‘Community and Government Partnership’ category of the Tidy Towns Awards of 2014.
This would be a great success for the Hastings community!
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 55

Local Area Traffic Management
The construction of the Local Area Traffic Management projects has reached practical completion after finishing all the necessary local community engagement. The construction occurred in the week between the 22-29 th of June despite some of the severe whether warnings that temporarily held up some of the works. Some minor works are still scheduled to be completed subsequently.
Glen Shian Lane, Mount Eliza
Kerb outstands have been constructed at three locations in Glen Shian Lane. As well as this works have been undertaken to paint edge lines down the length of Glen Shian Lane. This traffic calming treatment reduces the width of the driving lane with the aim to slow motorists down. Some reflective pavement markers and further line marking is due to be added in the next week for it to reach total completion.
South Road, Rosebud
A painted centre median strip has been installed on South Road between Parkmore Road and
Lonsdale Street in Rosebud. Four concrete islands have been constructed within the painted median and car parking lanes added. Similar to Glen Shian Lane, this traffic calming treatment reduces the width of the driving lane with the aim to reduce the speed of traffic.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 56

Illaroo Street, Rosebud West
Two sets of Speed Cushions have been constructed in Illaroo Street as a traffic calming treatment.
They are located in the vicinity of the shops between Mawarra Avenue and Allambi Avenue. This treatment aims to slow motorists down in the activity area which is subject to pedestrian activity and frequent parking manoeuvres.
Charles Street Dromana
Two sets of speed cushions have been installed in Charles Street Dromana in response to concerns about road safety and vehicles travelling above the speed limit. There has been a positive response from local residents to the new speed cushions creating lower vehicle speeds in their local street.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 57

Line Marking Improvements
In conjunction with the Infrastructure Maintenance Team and Shir e’s Safer Local Roads Contractor
(Downer Australia) a number of line marking improvements have been made across the Shires
Local Road Network. A few examples are shown below;
Croanna Street, Rye
A single continuous white centre line and raised reflective pavement markers have been installed to ensure vehicles keep to the left at the crest of the hill.
Forest Drive, Mt Martha
A continuous white centre line and raised reflective pavement markers have been installed to improve road safety by prohibiting overtaking.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 58

Springs Lane, Fingal
A single white continuous centre line with raised reflective pavement markers has been installed to ensure vehicles keep to the left at all times and in particular at the crests in the road.
Peninsula SaferSpeeds
The next phase of Peninsula SaferSpeeds has commenced with a successfu l “Have Your Say” day that allowed the local community to voice their views and ideas at the Currawong Community hall on Saturday 14 th
June. About 50 questionnaires were completed pertaining to the Mornington Park and surrounding residential areas. Residents had the opportunity to discuss their ideas with the ward Councillors and to liaise with Council officers.
A tempting sausage sizzle and coffee cart were well utilised by all along with some enjoyable activities for children including drawing and youth activities. A large inflatable playground was also very popular with the children.
A more comprehensive community telephone survey is also being planned to provide a basis for an evaluation of a holistic approach to improving these areas.
After the evaluation of the community questionnaires a resident ’s advisory group will be formed to discuss the issues raised and plan any necessary programs.

Peninsula RideSafe
Boundary Road Dromana
Bike lanes have been installed along Boundary Road Dromana. Boundary Road is identified in the bike strategy as a very popular road for on road cyclists and is very busy on the weekends with groups of cyclists riding from Melbourne and surrounds to tackle the climb to Arthurs Seat and ride a circuit through the Red Hill Hinterland.
Charles Street Dromana
A commuter bicycle route has been created in Charles Street Dromana, to enable cyclists to ride safely, to the Dromana Shopping Centre. This bicycle route also allows cyclists to bypass the busy section of Dromana Shopping Centre along Point Nepean Road. The bicycle route travels from
Nepean Hwy Safety Beach to join McCulloch Street Dromana.

Peninsula DriveSafe
Drink Driving Programs
This year ’s Mornington Peninsula Vignerons’ Winter Wine Weekend wine tasting event was once again hosted at the Red Hill Showgrounds on the Q ueen’s birthday weekend, Saturday June the seventh. The Shire, along with RoadSafe SouthEast, provided over 1500 free breath-tests to the attendees enjoying the wine tastings, conducted a standard drinks pouring challenge, along with providing free meal and non-alcoholic drinks vouchers to all the nominated designated drivers.
The programs aim is to prevent any of the attendees leaving the venue intoxicated in their own vehicles, there are many alternative transport providers running shuttles throughout the day to support this aim. The local Highway Patrol section runs an extensive drink driving operation in the same area and in the last 5 years of the program VicPolice has not recorded a positive breath test from a driver leaving the Red Hill showgrounds during the event.
The Road Safety Display and Free Breath testing station before the rush!
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 62

Older Driver Programs
Keeping Older Drivers Safe and Mobile
Over 100 hundred seniors from the Rosebud area attended a Road Safety Education session on
Tuesday the 3 rd of June.
Topics covered included; Changes to Road Rules, Driving and medications, Occupational
Therapist driving assessments and buying a safe car. During the half day session the attendees heard speakers from VicRoads the Victoria Police and the Shir e’s Road Safety Coordinator.
Residents hearing from the Occupational Therapist about Safe Driving Assessments.
Point Nepean Rd Bus Stop Seating – Nepean Ward Councillors Initiative
The Traffic and Road Safety Team are currently working with Nepean Ward Councillors to install seating at selected public/school bus stops along Point Nepean Road, between Rye and Sorrento.
The Nepean Ward Councillors approached the Traffic and Road Safety Team as they identified the opportunity to provide seating where there is currently only a concrete pad and no bus shelter.
Currently we are awaiting delivery of 10 timber seats and once they arrive our contractors will be installing them at the selected bus stops.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 63

Student Safety and Accessibility to Bentons Junior College
The construction of a footpath link to provide better access to the school has been completed along with the planting of street trees in selected areas. In addition to this two disabled bays have been created with kerb ramps near the school crossing to provide access for all.
Park and Stride Program to improve Student Safety and Accessibility to Boneo Primary
School
Works have commenced on the construction of the footpath at Boneo Primary School with the aim to have completed during the school holiday period.
Once completed the path and new parking options will be promoted within the school community to encourage parents and students to start using it rather than parking overcrowding other existing parking areas.
School Traffic Management – Mount Eliza North Primary School
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 64

Mount Eliza North Primary School, Briars Ward Councillors and Traffic & Road Safety have been working together on developing a proposal to improve traffic flow and increase safety around the school, particularly in Moseley Drive and Walkers Road.
The school and School Council are in favour of banning right turn movements in and out of Moseley Dve at school pick up and drop off times. Residents in the street were consulted regarding the proposed plans. The Traffic & Road Safety
Team received no concerns regarding these proposed changes, therefore the proposal is to be installed in early July during the school holidays. Right turns in and out of Moseley Drive will be banned between 8:30 and 9:30am as well as
2:30 and 4pm on school days. A brochure was developed by Traffic & Road
Safety in conjunction with the school and was sent to each family at the school before the end of term as well as residents of Moseley Dve.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Revaluation of Infrastructure Assets
In order to comply with the Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 116), the Mornington
Peninsula Shire conducts on a rotating basis each year a comprehensive revaluation on one of the three classes of infrastructure assets (Drainage, Transport and Street and Park Furniture). That is, each asset class has a comprehensive revaluation at least once every three years, unless unusual circumstances require more regular consideration.
In the years where the asset class does not require a full comprehensive revaluation, an interim revaluation is applied to the relevant asset class using a weighted average index derived from
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data.
This year, the Mornington Peninsula Shire has undertaken a full comprehensive revaluation on all
Drainage infrastructure assets that are owned and maintained by the Shire. Interim revaluation based on indexation will apply to the other 2 infrastructure classes, “Transport” and “Other
Infrastructure ”.
Unit rates for over 800 different asset types were calculated with the total current replacement costs for the Shire ’s major infrastructure asset classes being determined as follows:
Transport (interim revaluation)
Drainage (comprehensive revaluation)
Street and Park Furniture (interim revaluation)
$810m
$490m
$140m
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 65

In June, the Asset Management Team has been extremely busy preparing data for EOFY. The time taken to complete this process has been significantly reduced through continuous improvement initiatives and this task now takes less than half the time it took at the end of the
11/12 financial year. This year we hope to reduce this further again.
GeoMedia Smart Client (GMSC) Making Advances:
Over the intervening time since our last report, Geomedia Smart Client has been making substantial advances in its capabilities.
Apart from the normal, and continuous, increase in the number of assets being represented, both spatially and attribute-wise, a number of other significant capabilities have been added to GMSC
’s repertoire:-
1. All ‘Furniture & Signs’ features that were specified in the SIMS II contract (Annexure 9) have been overlayed spatially, to aid in the identification of service provider ’s responsibilities.
2. A new “MPS Drainage” Project has been setup, specifically for the Shire Drainage
Engineers. This Project includes a new initiative for the collection and representation of
Open Channel Drains across the Shire.
3. The ability to overlay ‘Contract Works’, Permit Development’, and ‘Subdivision’ plans has been added to GMSC, enhancing the Asset Team ’s members ability to add new and changed asset information, and increasing the accuracy and timeliness of Asset Register information capture.
4. The new 2014 Aerial images of the Peninsula (both High & Low resolution) have been added to most projects. (The old 2013 Aerials have been retained, to aid in difference detection.)
5. New Traffic features – ‘Footpaths’ and ‘Kerbs’ – have been added to the Asset
Management Project, with the more complex ‘Road Reserve’ feature to be added in the near future.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 66

6. As a special request, ‘Gas Main’ Plans were overlayed onto Drainage Assets (Pits & Pipes) in the Somers area, in order to help our service provider, Nepean Waste, identify where gas mains could impact on drainage maintenance and investigation works.
7. The Buildings Project has had a major update to its component tables. These updates have been accumulated by our service provider, Transfield, during the due diligence period of the
SIMS II Buildings contract, and will enable them to better classify building components.
As you can see, it ’s been a busy time for the GMSC implementation team, but the tool just keeps on proving itself to be a major asset to the Shire.
Revision of Unsealed Roads Surfaces Useful Life
Over the past several months research has been completed to review the treatment of unsealed roads surfaces (100mm base course layer in figure below) within the asset register. This is to ensure compliance with the relevant accounting standards, which requires that the useful life of assets be reviewed periodically so that the financial statements accurately reflect practical reality.
This study has also been completed to align the information recorded in the asset register with the minimum standard construction of unsealed roads that was developed in early 2012 (standard drawing MP907).
Figure 1. Adopted minimum construction standard for unsealed road pavement (left) and minimum geometric requirements of unsealed road (right)
Relying on a model developed by ARRB, the useful life of unsealed road gravel surfaces has been revised upwards from 5 years to 6 years. This study has also produced insights that will be highly valuable in assisting the future management of unsealed road assets.
Financially , the year end position is largely on target with some minor variations to report.

Monthly Report June 2014 Page 67

For the month of June while there was numerous informal engagements onsite with the community (typically 1:1 ’s which occur whilst delivering customer service as part of managing
Objective and MERIT), formally the Infrastructure Maintenance Team and the service providers were involved in the following specific formal engagement with the community:
• The Nursery team hosted three workshops in partnership with Mount Eliza Rotary Club for local primary schools. (refer to detail later in report)
• Conservation Rangers from the Natural Systems Team are working with volunteers from
Birdlife Mornington Peninsula to undertake surveys for Powerful Owls in a selection of
Shire managed bushland reserves.
.
After months of above average temperatures in autumn and early winter the first real taste of winter hit on Tuesday 24 June. The impact for the Peninsula, and much of Victoria, was the hit from 100kph+ winds and rain. These conditions threw the Port Phillip Bay into a frenzy and resulted in fallen trees and damaged vegetation all over the Peninsula. It also provided some spectacular picture opportunities! Below is a photo of the Mornington Pier being swamped.
The implication for Nepean Waste in delivering the Cleansing and Drainage Services was that many streets, particularly those in the leafy areas of the Peninsula, ended up covered in green debris. Beaches were also impacted by storm surge, combined with high tides, that pushed water well above the usual high water marks.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 68

.
The full impact on beaches could only be seen once conditions had calmed. The Cleansing &
Drainage Cleaning service provider has mobilised additional resources in order to clean up the iconic beaches and residential streets as soon as possible. See below a series of photos taken the day after the severe storm.

Camping Season Review
In June the Shir e’s Foreshore Team met with the maintenance teams to review the outcomes of the 13/14 foreshore camping season. Stakeholder feedback was very positive and identified user satisfaction was higher than the previous year, based on a comparison of the number of campers in association with volume of MERIT cases. This was largely due to the pre planning works and understanding of the needs of the season prior to it commencing, along with strong communication objectives during the season. The communication process was improved with daily updates from the Buildings Services team on the progress of any works to allow the Shir e’s
Foreshore Team to respond to queries from campers.
Wind Storms
The severe storm on the 24 June, and strong winds over the next few days, generated wind storm damage to vegetation. The Maintenance customer service team received approximately
700 calls directly related to the high winds. There were over 70 sites where a road and/or driveway access was blocked that the Park & Roadsides tree team attended to make safe in the first instance. After make safe works are completed, there will be follow up works conducted by supplementary tree management support resources brought in to assist with the recovery clean- up. This allows the Parks & Roadsides tree team to continue with scheduled tree management programs and allow the clean-up activity to continue over the coming month. It is anticipated early
July to receive a few calls from absentee property owners coming down for the week-end and reporting driveway access issues etc that have not as yet been seen. Below are some of the many photos of the damage.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 70

Rectification of Damaged Ovals
On the 18 June at 8.30am Furniture & Signs team members reported significant vehicle damage to both Ferrero Reserve and Citation Reserve playing surfaces and damage to a goal post – which had been pushed over. Police were called and the estimated repair costs are in the order of $10k –$15k. The Sports Field Team managed to get the surfaces playable and goal post replaced in time for the following weekend games. Whilst the team was repairing the grounds they were able to gather information from the public to identify the possible culprits. This information was passed on the Police and as a result the Police have a suspect to follow up on.
On request from the Police a quotation for the repair was provided to the investigating officer and they hope to recover the costs for the Shire via the courts should charges be made.
Power Line Clearing Program
The Park & Roadsides tree crews are currently working in Rye through the month of June and part of July on clearing trees around power lines. The month of May saw the completion of the rating 8 works in Blairgowrie and the program has progressed to Rye for the month of June. The
Power Line Clearing Program can be found on line www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/trees . The current
Program on the Web is scheduled for updating mid July to reflect the next 12 months.
School Workshops at the Shire Nursery
This month the Nursery team hosted three workshops in partnership with Mount Eliza Rotary
Club for local primary schools. Students undertook guided tours of the Nursery facilities and propagation activities. Schools attending were Kunyung Primary School, Mount Eliza North
Primary School and Mount Eliza Primary School. The students sowed seed and produced cuttings that were taken back to the school grounds to be cared for by students and will later be used in landscaping projects. Mount Eliza Secondary students also attended, acting as mentors for the younger students. Franklin Scholar students undertaking Certificate 3 and 4 in
Conservation and Land Management worked in the gardens adjacent to the Nursery to remove weeds and revegetate the area with locally indigenous plants. The students planned the works, selected suitable species, devised planting plans and implemented weed control and planting as part of their course curriculum.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 71

Annual Fire Management Works Inspections in Bushland Reserves
The annual inspection of all fire management works in bushland reserves took place in June. The inspection program audits each area of fire management works in Shire managed bushland reserves to determine what treatments are necessary for the coming year ’s fire management works program.
Conservation Repairs to Heritage Buildings at The Briars
Last year funding was obtained from Heritage Victoria for conservation repairs to the laundry, dairy and apple store. A local heritage architect has now been engaged to develop specifications for works which will meet the requirements of a Heritage Victoria permit. The laundry and dairy are especially significant, built around 1857-62 with the same handmade bricks of The Briars
Homestead. It is in poor condition with descending damp from faulty roof plumbing and bricks which are severely pitted. The apple store, an important reminder of the extensive orchards, was built around 1910-24 of concrete blocks. It is badly cracked and will require underpinning to prevent collapse as well repairs to the block work.
Melbourne Water Grant at Warringine Creek
Works have begun on a Melbourne Water grant in Warringine Creek at Henderson Road
Reserve, Hastings. The project involves the removal of pine trees and replacement planting of indigenous species. It is being undertaken in conjunction with Conservation Land Management students who will do complimentary weed control works in the reserve. This project will extend and compliment the current works programs in Warringine Park undertaken by Conservation
Rangers, The Friends of Warringine Park and Melbourne Water.
Bushland Management Services Contract 2014-2021
Naturelinks Landscape Management, a locally based bushland management company, have been awarded the Shir e’s Bushland Management Services Contract 2014-2021. This company will be engaged to undertake a range of bushland management activities that aim to protect and enhance biodiversity values in Shire managed bushland reserves. Main contract activities include weed control, habitat management, revegetation and supporting volunteers from over 40 bushland reserve Friends Groups. The Natural Systems Team are working closely with the tea form Naturelinks Landscape Management to plan and prepare the works program for the first year ’s works.
Powerful Owl Surveys with Birdlife Mornington Peninsula
Conservation Rangers from the Natural Systems Team are working with volunteers from
Birdlife Mornington Peninsula to undertake surveys for Powerful Owls in a selection of
Shire managed bushland reserves. The Powerful Owl, Australia’s largest owl, is listed
Endangered in Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula has been identified as a strong hold for the species. The survey results will inform future management decisions to protect and enhance the owl’s habitat in the Mornington Peninsula region.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 72

Routine Road Maintenance
During the 13/14 financial year 23,356 tonnes of crushed rock was applied to assist with grading the unsealed road, shoulder, and car park network.

249 of those items were sealed road potholes with the following breakdown:
• 87 repairs on A-Classification Roads;
• 72 repairs on B-Classification Roads;
• 88 repairs on combined C and D-Classification Roads; and
• 2 repairs in car parks.
The Team also undertook the following:
• 432 Edge break repairs;
• 42 Make safe repairs;
• 36 Digout repairs;
• 17 Open drainage repairs;
• 73 Unsealed Road Network repairs;
• 62 Missing or damaged pit lid/surround replacements;
• 108 Footpath Damage / Trip Hazard Repairs.

Financially, the year to date result of an unfavourable $1.268m is due to accounting treatment of the value of reseal and rehabilitation (renewal) works on local roads under Safer Local Roads.
Whilst this is unfavourable in an operating sense, there is a favourable result in the capital budget and overall there is no effect in the cash position.
The additional storm damage expenditure incurred in October/November, will be refunded to the
Shire from the Natural Disaster Financial Assistance program. This will provide a year end funding offset to the bottom line
The remainder of the maintenance operational budget, including SIMS 2 Parks and Roadsides,
Buildings, Cleansing and Furniture & Signs SIMS 2, and Bushland Reserves, are largely on forecast target

SUBDIVISIONS
12 – 18A Walter Street, Safety Beach
28 lot residential subdivision. Pavement preparation and concrete works are continuing.
SEWERING THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA
South East Water are in the process of delivering the Southern Peninsula ECO Project, providing
16,200 lots in Tootgarook, Rye, Blairgowrie, St Andrews Beach, Sorrento and Portsea with sewer connection points. The project will cost $357M and will involve the installation of 230km of pipe.
The project will be accelerated from the 16 year program to be delivered in 30 months and will be tendered as four separate packages.
Package A – Portsea, Sorrento & St Andrews Beach
The contract has been awarded to Zinfra to install 80km of pipe. Works are scheduled for completion in June 2015.
Works in Sorrento are progressing on the back beach side of Melbourne Road.
Package B – Rye & Tootgarook
The contract has been awarded to Interflow to install 98km of pipe. Works are scheduled for completion in June 2015.
Works are progressing in the Thomson Terrace area of Rye.
Package C – Blairgowrie
The contract is planned for commencement June 2015 and completion April 2016.
Transfer System
The contract has been awarded to Fulton Hogan to install the transfer main linking Portsea to the
Boneo treatment plant along with associated pump stations.
Works are progressing on the Hughes Road/ Melbourne Road pump station in Sorrento and works are planned to commence on the French Street Reserve pump station in July.
Directional drilling is progressing for the transfer pipe in Browns Road near Truemans Road.
CCTV Community Engagement
The Unit has been working closely with the Environment Protection and Community Safety Unit to support it in the development of a CCTV Policy. There has been good public support for this and the policy has now been adopted by Council with only minor changes.
The policy has led to well researched funding applications that could allow for expansion of some of these projects.
Coastal Landslip Community Engagement
Plans are underway to commence an engagement project to involve the local community in resolving the issue of landslips that have closed public walking paths. The engagement process will not only keep locals up to date with the development of solutions but include education about what they can do to reduce landslip risk due to human intervention and possibly encourage the creation of ‘Friends of’ groups to address planting as a solution to areas of high risk.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 84

Driving Responsiveness, Innovation & Productivity
There are two new innovative products that the Unit is experimenting with. One is a new type of litter trap, unlike the ones currently being used this is also very efficient for very large storms without risking upstream flooding. The other product is for a pedestrian bridge at a very exposed coastal location. The plan is to use composite plastic bridge beams that will have much greater durability than galvanised steel or timber.
Staff Development
It is very pleasing to note that three Unit staff members have recently completed additional degrees as part of their ongoing training and development.
Financially , Overall the monthly variance is relatively minor given that there is additional fee income expected from works done in June but not yet paid. The cost of engaging consultant support in development assessments is up as the team attempts to keep the backlog manageable but this is being balanced by increased fee income.

During June the Renewable Resources Unit progressed the Victorian Adaptation and Sustainability
Partnership (VASP) project and progress the development of a Shire Climate Change Policy with a
Councillor workshop. June saw the conclusion of Cleanaway as the Shire Kerbside Waste and
Recycling collection contractor, with Solo Resource Recovery awarded the contract commencing 1
July 2014.
ECO LIVING DISPLAY CENTRE
Tours
In addition to the tours conducted during our regular opening hours, staff and volunteers ran group tours for Mornington Secondary College students and facilitators of the Low Income Energy
Efficiency program.
Community Meeting and Regular Groups
The Eco Centre Carers Group use the Centre on a weekly basis. The group, comprising of parents, their disabled adult children and carers, use the Centre for a range of activities including gardening, cooking, singing and dancing.
The Collaborative Garden Group , a group of disabled clients from Konnections and Kankama, have met at the Centre twice over June and participated in gardening and cooking. Next term the
Collaborative Garden Group will work with a community artist to create a scarecrow for the Red Hill
Scarecrow Festival.
‘Are you ready? Victorian Adaptation and Sustainability Partnership Project
The Mornington Peninsula Shire, in conjunction with Kingston and Bayside City Councils, have been successful in receiving a $200, 000 grant from the Department of Environment and Primary
Industries (DEPI) through their Victorian Adaptation and Sustainability Partnership to develop a climate change adaption website and community engagement program.
The project ‘Are you ready?’ project will assist residents to plan for the impacts of climate change through developing a thorough understanding of their climate change risks and through the development of individualised Action Plans.
This month the following steps were achieved: Tenders assessed and shortlisted by staff from
Mornington Peninsula, Bayside and Kingston (5 th
June), interviews conducted for top three contractors (20 th
June), successful contractor notified (by Friday 27 th
June).
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate Change Policy
Councillors discussed the key sections and principles that should be part of a Mornington
Peninsula Shire Climate
Change Policy, during an energetic and productive workshop early in the month.
The workshop, assisted by the
Shir e’s Executive Team and other key staff, was focused on ways of consolidating and enhancing the Shir e’s successful approach to leading change on climate change . A draft policy is being prepared so that it can be presented to Council; which will be followed by a period of public exhibition of the draft policy to capture feedback from our local community, before the policy is submitted to Council for their final consideration.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 86

WASTE MANAGEMENT
Municipal Waste Management Strategy Review
The Mornington Peninsula Shire ‘s Municipal Waste Management Strategy reflects the Shire’s commitment to providing the community with sustainable and cost effective waste management and recycling services. A major review of the Strategy is presently underway. Stage one of the engagement process is now complete.
Key activities during the month included:
• Completion of a random survey being undertaken by an external organisation, with a particular focus on renters. The process will ensure that we have responses from across our demographics and geographic locations.
• Completed the report for the second Community Engagement
Forum – Let’s Talk Waste. The Forum was held to help inform the decision How can the Shire best provide for the disposal of its waste to landfill in the short to medium term ? The report is available at yoursay.mornpen.vic.gov.au
• Started the analysis of data collected through the online forum.
New Kerbside Collection Contracts
Our new kerbside collection contracts (garbage and recycling) commenced on the 1 July 2014 with
Cleanaway finishing up and Solo Resource Recovery now providing the service. We have been in the transition phase for the last 6 months, however, it was always going to be the last few weeks that would present the biggest concern with Cleanaway potentially losing a large number of drivers as they seek alternative employment.
There have been a few minor issues experienced leading up to the commencement of the new contract, however, overall it has been a success. Cleanaway and their drivers are to be congratulated for maintaining the appropriate level of service up until the changeover. A large number of the drivers will transition across to Solo which will assist in that continuity of service from the 1 July 2014.
New collection vehicles will be used. Collection days will remain the same, however, there may be change in the collection time as the new service provider/drivers becomes familiar with the collection areas and their route. Residents are reminded to place their bins out for collection the night prior to the collection day or before 6.00am on the day to ensure that the bins are collected.
The new trucks will have a range of features to improve the service, such as hopper cameras to detect load contamination.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 87

Recovery of Hard Plastics – Resource Recovery Centres
A trial will commence in August for the recovery of the following items at the Shir e’s resource recovery facilities at Mornington, Rye and Tyabb.
• Rigid Plastic Items
• Plastic Kitchen Ware
• Pot Plant Containers
• Plastic cups
• Plastic Toys
New bins and signage have been ordered and expected to be received in July. It is hopeful that some larger hard plastic items may also be recovered, however, it has to be of a size that can be processed at the recycling plant.
Old Landfill Sites
Tyabb
The team has commenced a project focused on continuing to implement the Tyabb Rehabilitation
Plan. During the month the team meet with the site auditor and consultants to discuss works to be completed to enhance the landfill cap and stormwater management at the site.
Mount Eliza
A contract was awarded during the month for works to be completed at the old Mt Eliza landfill associated with ongoing landfill gas management.
Rosebud West
A project is presently underway to ensure the continued implementation of audit recommendations associated with the old landfill in Rosebud West. Works completed during the month included the implementation of additional ground water monitoring bores and landfill gas monitoring bores.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 88

Financially ,
The year to date variance has improved considerably over the last quarter, primarily due to the better than expected income received at the transfer centres, and also better than expected variance with the Green Waste Mulching contracts and reduced costs associated with Shire
Landfill Levy. After making some final adjustments at year end, the result will be favourable.

Monthly Report June 2014 Page 89

This month ’s report details an extensive array of construction activities that have been completed as well as highlighting an impressive array of community engagement activities related to the planning for and the introduction of services. This month also witnessed the damaging impact of intensive storm activity with numerous call outs being recorded for assistance with fallen trees and nuisance flooding incidents across the peninsula.
The Shire ’s Customer Service team and our service providers received approximately 700 calls directly related to the high winds experienced on 24 June. There were over 70 sites where a road and/or driveway access was blocked requiring the Park & Roadsides tree team to attend and to make safe the area. After the initial response is made and the area is made safe works are then followed with supplementary tree management undertaken to ensure any damaged trees do not pose an ongoing threat. The Parks & Roadsides tree team will be continuing with tree management programs and further clean-up activities over the coming weeks.
It is always important to acknowledge the efforts made by those frontline response workers and the difficult circumstances in which they operate. Typically incidents occur across many areas simultaneously and it is important to allocate resources in the most effective and efficient way so that tasks are assigned a priority and response teams dispatched in an orderly and controlled manner. It is a credit to the officers involved in these processes that some much can be done in such a short time and in most instances the works are completed without lasting impact on the community. Without the availability of well trained and well prepared response teams it would take considerably longer of community to recover from these storm events. It is also sobering to think that the response by these employees is being made while a storm is in progress and while working conditions are challenging physically and mentally.
The contribution of community volunteers in the CFA, SES and other rescue services should also be acknowledged because in many instances these volunteers will be the first or amongst the first to be on site to deal with an issue. The Shire is fortunate in many ways to have a very strong and active volunteer community.
On an entirely different subject but still an essential service in the community is the changeover to a new contractor for the kerbside collection of domestic rubbish and recycling. From 1 July 2014
Solo Resource Recovery will be providing this service throughout the Shire. The former contractor
Cleanaway, and their drivers, are to be congratulated for maintaining the appropriate level of service up until the changeover with no diminution of service to customers. As typically occurs when there is a change in contractors a large number of the drivers will transition across to Solo and this will assist in maintaining the continuity of service from the startup date.
Also in the waste management area the community engagement processes undertaken in relation to the review of the Shir e’s Waste Management Plan have generated considerable information which is now being analysed and will be used in the preparation of a report to Council on this matter. The community participants in the waste forums run for this project are to be congratulated for their contributions and for their willingness to commit to the two evenings required by the novel engagement process used in this consultation. The inputs received are providing deeper and broader comments than those typically received from traditional consultation methods.
Financially , there are some minor variations to forecast budget at year end. The small variations are reported in salaries and vehicle cost.

CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH SERVICES
A referral process was developed for use by the volunteers working at the Southern Peninsula
Community Support and Information Centre (SPCSIC) as a result of discussions between Jackie
Currie, Manager SPCSIC, and the Enhanced Maternal and Child Health Service. This will provide improved access to Maternal and Child Health Services (M&CHS) for families presenting at
SPCSIC.
Feedback from Jackie Currie is very positive. The volunteers are utilising the referral process with positive results for the families they are supporting.
The M&CHS team will approach both the Mornington and Westernport Community Support and
Information Centres to progress this initiative across Mornington Peninsula Shire.
EDUCATION AND CARE SERVICES
Kindergarten Central Registration
As at the end of June, Council had received 1494 registrations for 4 year old kindergarten places in
2015 including a number of children who will be having a second funded kindergarten year.
94% of registered families have received and accepted their child ’s placement for 2015. At this time there are 11 kindergartens across the Shire that have vacancies for 2015.
Supported Playgroup and Parent Initiative (SPPI)
There are currently four groups operating under the SPPI model with all groups reporting high and increasing participation:
• Playroos@Wallaroo – Facilitated by Jo from Good Shepherd
•
•
Nourish and Nurture – Facilitated by Lauren from our Youth Services team
Rosebud Mother Goose – Facilitated by Kaye from Peninsula Health Community Health
•
(PHCH)
Scribbles at Rosebud West – Facilitated by Cindy from Family Life and Kerry from MPS
An additional music playgroup operates from Mornington Park Kindergarten which is funded through Child and Family Health Services. This group is currently facilitated by Kerry from MPS.
The Shires Supported Playgroup Development Officer continues to advocate strongly increasing the knowledge and needing for SPPI groups. SPPI builds capacity and sustainability for groups with an understanding that and are a fantastic stepping stone into universal playgroups for families.
Advocacy continues through the involvement with projects such as the Early Years Focus group at
PHCH and the Linking Schools Early Years project.
Two professional development sessions have been held “Music in Playgroup” and “Wet Felting”
The wet felting session was also attended by both Family Day Care Educators and Outside School
Hours Educators.
YOUTH STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
Communities That Care (CTC)
The Southern Peninsula, Western Port, Mornington Communities and Mount Eliza local area CTC groups have all progressed and commenced work on analysing their local data.
The “Two Bays” local area CTC group commenced in June. The CTC are working hard to engage community members from Dromana and Red Hill to broaden the base of the group.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 91

Recruits are still being sourced to commence the Somerville/Tyabb/Baxter local area CTC group.
CTC Team members met with the co-founder of CTC, Dr Richard Catalano, during his lecture visit at the Royal Childr en’s Hospital. He commented to them his delight regarding the success of the
Mornington Peninsula CTC initiative which he stated he regarded as outstanding.
School Focused Youth Service (SFYS)
The SFYS Co-Ordinator has brought together the
“Peninsula Model”, “Frankston Better Youth
Service Project ”, Mission Australia and the Info X Change to work together on creating an electronic youth services directory with a phone/tablet “app” for Frankston and the Mornington
Peninsula. The directory will be available on the website of both Councils.
The Department of Education and Early Childhood (DEECD) have approved the work plan drafted for the remainder of the funded period. This now provides a clear focus for the path ahead.
Peninsula Health, our partner in the project, have now finalised their staffing arrangements and have a full team for the first time since the partnership project commenced.
OzChild Counselling/Family Volunteer Support Program
In 2012, a 16 year old girl name d “Jess” was referred to the volunteer program from her Secondary
College.
“Jess” had left home due to family violence and her mother’s significant mental health issues. She was “couch surfing” at friends and disengaged from school. “Jess” was matched with a female volunteer named
“Sally” who encouraged and supported “Jess” to move in with her grandmother during this time. “Sally” visited “Jess” weekly and supported her to enroll in a Certificate of General
Education at her local TAFE.
“Jess” attended regularly and made new friends and completed the course successfully and stated that without her volunteer ’s help with her homework this would not have been possible.
Just before “Jess” turned 17, she discovered she was pregnant. With the support of her volunteer she was linked with a variety of different services to help her through her pregnancy. During her pregnancy the volunteer attended the pre-natal classes, medical appointments and supported
“Jess” with education around her diet, health and wellbeing and taught her to cook healthy meals.
Once “Jess” gave birth to her daughter, the volunteer supported “Jess” with being a new mother and supported her to attend a young mums group and playgroup. “Jess” has now moved into her own home and her baby has recently turned 1.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 92

The volunteer ’s role and support with “Jess” through these two years has been significant and
“Jess” has just enrolled in a course to become a hairdresser. The volunteer has now been involved for two years and the program is in the process of closing the match as “Jess” has now built networks through the support from the volunteer.
Community Liaison
• A review of the Shire's community grant programs is underway, including Councillor
Discretionary Funds, Community Partnerships and Community Grants. It is anticipated that the new grants program will be available to community organisations in August/September
• The Mount Martha Community House Annual General Meeting was held in May with performance results showing an improved financial position. Programs and activities have also experienced a growing demand and an increase in CGEA graduations.
• Benchmarking Council support to Neighbourhood Houses has been conducted with selected Councils to inform the draft Neighbourhood House Strategy
• Assistance has been provided to Rye Beach Community Centre to conduct interviews for the appointment of a new Co-Ordinator
Financially, the significant month end positive variance relates primarily to an under expenditure to forecast in School Focused Youth Services (SFYS). This is also reflected in the YTD and YE figures although moderated by an adverse variation in Outside School Hours Program (OSHP). It should be noted that the OSHP is currently under review with significant operational changes likely to be undertaken in the coming financial year. Overall the CY&FC finished with a surplus of $88K to budget.

Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders (PACE) on Air
PACE and the Shir e’s Aged & Disability Services team, as a direct outcome of the Shire’s Positive
Ageing Strategy, A Community for all Ages , launched in June, a new radio show PACE On Air;
Ageing Well on the Peninsula.
PACE on Air will be a half hour timeslot on RPPFMs Drive-Time show with Dennis Gist (98.7 FM) that will address the eight key positive ageing outcomes (transport, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, community and health services, outdoor spaces and buildings) identified in the Positive Ageing
Strategy.
PACE on Air will partner with local service providers, agencies and others to outline one key outcome per show, and address the topic from a local perspective, explaining the personal impact
Peninsula residents may experience. The show will also feature forthcoming positive ageing activities and events scheduled to take place across the Mornington Peninsula.
Initially the PACE on Air will take place every three weeks.
Raising Awareness About Elder Abuse and What People Can Do About It
Elder Abuse is the mistreatment of an older person, committed by someone with whom the older person has a relationship of trust; such as a partner, family member, friend or carer. It may be physical, sexual, social, financial or psychological and can include mistreatment and neglect. Sometimes family, friends and carers may not realise their actions amount to Elder Abuse.
Elder Abuse is a global social issue which affects the health and human rights of millions of older persons around the world, while closer to home; approximately 5% of older Australians suffer Elder
Abuse. The real number of people suffering Elder
Abuse may be higher than that reported but it is perhaps the last taboo, widely unrecognized and grossly under reported around the globe. Elder
Abuse not only affects the person directly impacted, but also the wider community.
During June, members of the Aged & Disability
Services team and PACE travelled to each of the
Shire Offices to raise staff awareness of Elder
Abuse, to acknowledge World Elder Abuse
Awareness Day. Around the world, many individuals and organisations made their mark by wearing purple or displaying purple lights at their premises.
Elder Abuse Awareness postcard available from Seniors Rights
Victoria and at all Shire Customer Service sites.
PACE members attended each session and talked to staff about their own experiences of friends and contemporaries that have suffered Elder Abuse. The road shows were definitely an eye opening experience for staff who had no idea that Elder Abuse actually occurred and how close to home it was happening. Many staff showed their support on the day by wearing purple, the internationally recognised colour for Elder Abuse awareness.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 94

Thanks must go to the Delivered Meals Kitchen who donated home baked scones for the morning teas, they were delicious.
In 2015, we aim to take the cause to the next level, so plan your purple wardrobe and light up your world in purple on World Elder Abuse Awareness day in June next year.
For more information about elder abuse and what people can do about it, contact Seniors Rights
Victoria on 1300 368 821 or www.seniorsrights.org.au
Training for Community Care Workforce
We have engaged a new training provider for this year, who will deliver the training program locally based in the West Rosebud area. This has been a cost benefit to the Shire in reduced travel time for trainees and a quality improvement with smaller class sizes so increased individual attention can be provided by the class facilitator.
We have selected electives which match the profile of our client base, including modules on Mental
Health and “implementing individualised plans” to further enhance the Active Service Model approach to service delivery. The Active Service Model is our underpinning philosophy for everything we do. We seek to work with, not for clients, encouraging them to maintain and improve their functional capacity and independence through a strengths based, goal centred approach.
A Snapshot of Real Feedback from Real Client s…
• “Ian did the best job and was a real gentleman.”
•
•
“Just looking at my community care worker, Anne, lifts my spirits, she is a delightful person.
”
“I was really pleased with the community care worker who attended for service today; she encouraged me to work alongside her and that worked really well.
”

•
•
•
“I wanted to express how wonderful the delivered meals are and the showering assistance is great. I ’m far more relaxed now about receiving this type of service. I’m very grateful to the Shire.

June at a Glance
During the month, the 250 employees and 200 volunteers of the Aged & Disability Services team provided the following to support 5,000 older people and people with a disability to stay living at home safely, actively and independently:
1,052 hours of “living at home” assessment
13,204 hours of home/personal/respite care
5,781 delivered meals
386 hours of home maintenance/modifications
931 Dial A Bus passenger trips
721 hours of Activity Program
Financially, the favourable June monthly favourable variance of $87k is a timing issue and is primarily due to:
• extra income received in June, for services delivered in May
• additional HACC Growth funding received in June.
HACC Assessment has an unfavourable variance for June due to a spike in referrals over the past few months resulting in a backlog of referrals awaiting assessment. Additional casual assessment officers were employed to address the backlog resulting in higher than budgeted casual wages for
June. This was offset by savings for the month in HACC Admin wages.

RECREATION PLANNING
Operations
Playground Strategy Implementation Program
• A new double timber swing has been installed at Peter Shelmerdine Reserve in Portsea in place of a twenty-two year old play structure.
• New social play equipment has been installed at Dr Morell Reserve in Mornington. This replaces twenty-four year old equipment.
• The Schnapper Point playground construction commenced this month. The perimeter fence to the playground will also be upgraded as part of the project.
• Community consultation has taken place and feedback has been collated regarding requirements for new play equipment for the playground at Jones Road Reserve in
Somerville. The playground is expected to be completed at the end of this month (weather dependant).
• A timber “basket swing” has been installed and equipment refurbishment has been completed at the Rotary Park Reserve in Mount Eliza. This equipment includes a flying saucer and a basket swing. Many positive comments have been received regarding the upgrade.
•
Rotary Park Mount Eliza - Before Rotary Park Mount Eliza - After
Balnarring Skate Park
Community consultation to seek feedback about proposed lighting is complete. Forty-five submissions were received. Forty-three were in support and two against installing lighting on a timer system at the skate park. The submissions were received from a range of suburbs – 23 were
Balnarring based, 19 were from the wider Peninsula and 3 from Melbourne .
Flinders Park
Implementation of this master plan continues in liaison with the Flinders Community Association
(FCA). Initial tree and bush planting works have been completed. A planning permit has been obtained for future demolition of the Flinders Park shelter shed. FCA and the Shire are now seeking quotes for the work with recycling of timbers expected. FCA are preparing concept designs for the new pavilion in Flinders Park and planning has commenced for new park picnic tables, seats, path extensions and the play space.
Police Point Shire Park Recreation and Conservation Plan
Works are almost completed for the demolition and replacement of attendant cottage fences. Steel sheds have been removed and new timber capped wire fences constructed around the perimeter of the four respite cottages. A new picket fence has been constructed on two sides of Cottage 5

(Arts and Culture). Some woody weeds have been removed as part of the fencing project with works expected to be completed early next month. Quotes are being sought for an overarching
Cultural Heritage Management Plan.
SPORT & LEISURE
Operations
Pelican Park Recreation Centre
Preparations for Pelican Park ’s annual Tour De France have been completed in time for the commencement in July. This is the eighth year the event, which is held simultaneously to the namesake Tour De France, has been offered at Pelican Park. The event is the biggest group fitness program held in the venue during the year with a need for additional bikes to deliver the event. Participants are encouraged to undertake as many classes as they can during the challenge with over 20 classes offered at varied times. This indoor cycling event is a great opportunity for current, new or casual members to participate individually or as a part of a team and experience all that Pelican Park has to offer.
Mount Martha Public Golf Course
Remedial works have commenced on the balcony in the outdoor social area. This area is a highly utilised area for the Golf Cours e’s social group and casual patrons following the round. Inspections identified the need to undertake works to address some potential risk in relation to structural integrity.
Customer Feedback
The following represents an excerpt from a letter from the Mount
Martha Golf Club following the hosting of Club’s Pennant day:
“The Mount Martha Ladies team would like to say a very special thank you for the magificent preparation and presentation of the Course. The ongoing development and pleasing improvements to our Course continue to be noted by many visiting clubs and as always, we are happy to pass their comments on to your team. Your hard work, support and continued effort in making the Mount Martha Golf Course one of the best public Courses on the Peninsula is much appreciated.
”
David Collings Leisure Centre
With Stage 1 redevelopment works at David Collings Leisure Centre, Civic Reserve, on track for completion – September 2014, Stage 2 works have commenced ahead of schedule. Stage 2 works include the addition of four table tennis courts and refurbishment to the existing Stadium. A new emergency door and entrance ramp have been installed to enable table tennis excavation works to commence with minimal disruption to the current table tennis courts.
Tennis Redevelopment Creates International Interest
The construction of the Mornington Tennis Courts, as part of Stage 1 of the Civic Reserve
Mornington Master Plan, has generated overseas attention following a recent site inspection from a senior Tennis New Zealand official. Mr David Frank, Chief Executive Officer Tennis Northern
Region New Zealand visited the David Collings Leisure Centre as part of a fact finding mission and identified the Centre as a prime example of best practice community facility planning:
“ I was struck by this visionary approach to community sports and other civic facility planning. The tennis facility will provide a platform for increased club and community access whilst offering the opportunity to stage tournaments and events on a unique and compelling court surface which will without doubt bring in numerous players from far and wide - which a number of other local enterprises will benefit.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 98

An enormous amount of work has obviously gone into progressing this from idea to vision to reality. I was enthused by the energy and passion displayed by Mayor Cr Celi and fellow
Councillors in supporting those numerous stakeholders who have also played a part in enabling this collective enterprise to achieve so much.
Seeing sports clubs, arts and civic amenities clustered in such a way gives me inspiration as we approach projects with similar ideals in Auckland New Zealand. I have now seen proof that our thinking, along similar lines, has integrity and can take heart from seeing your work here.
”
Mr James Madder, Community Tennis Officer with Tennis Victoria also expressed his enthusiasm about the project:
“It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the Mornington Tennis Centre and future home of the
Mornington Tennis Club to David and the great partnership between the Mornington Peninsula
Shire, Tennis Australia, Tennis Victoria and the Mornington Tennis Club. There is a significant level of interest in this facility development, from across Victoria and Australia, as well as overseas; which is a credit to the strength of the partnership between the stakeholders involved. In building quality places to play, tennis is contributing in providing a way in which for the community to benefit from being active and enjoying physical activity.
Tennis on the Mornington Peninsula will benefit at all levels from the construction of the 12 Conipur
Clay courts which will provide community access through to hosting tournaments, competitions and events in stimulating the local economy on the Mornington Peninsula.

RECREATION COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Operations
Bowls Australia
Recreation Community Partnership (RCP) staff met with Bowls Australia-South Eastern Victorian representative Barrie Lester to discuss new innovations to make bowls more accessible to Shire residents through new initiatives such as “Jack Attack”. This new initiative trains people in how to bowl and score, this version of the game provides an informal choice for people who are interested in bowling socially rather than competition. Jack Attack can be played during daylight savings season with the competition lasting no longer than an hour (3 ends), and by being casual in nature
(no uniform needed) it is more suitable for people interested in having a social bowl without the formalities. There is also “Junior Jack Attack” which encourages school age children and schools to participate in the sport of lawn bowls. As with the senior initiative these programs will encourage a greater uptake of people of all ages playing sport.
Recreation Capital Works
Detailed design work has been undertaken to progress capital works projects
– these include:
•
•
Detailed design development of the Watsons Road Tennis Courts Mount Martha.
Completion of the detailed design master plan works for Balnarring Recreation Reserve.
•
•
Detailed Spatial work development for new sporting facilities at Emil Madsen Reserve.
Detailed design work is underway for the reconstruction of the seven Elsie Dorrington
Netball Courts to Australian standards.
Pavilion Strategy
The Pavilion Strategy continues to be rolled out across the Shire:
• Detailed design has been completed at Fruitgrowers Reserve Pavilion in Somerville with the tender process currently underway.
• The Mount Martha Tennis Pavilion detailed design has been completed and a Heritage
Victoria Permit has been received for the project. Works will therefore commence at the
Mount Martha Cottage that will house the Club during the construction process.
• The Balnarring Recreation Reserve Pavilion detailed design work is currently underway.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 99

• Citation Reserve Pavilion in Mount Martha is currently in the detailed design stage with final stakeholder meetings scheduled next month.
Foreshore Camping
A review of the camping season conducted this month highlighting the 2013/14 camping season has been the most successful since the Shire took over management back in 2007 having achieved the highest occupancy rates to date.
Capital work preparations have begun for the 2014/15 season with investigations into amenity upgrades, hot water system upgrades and the installation of more outdoor showers.
A Camping Liaison Committee meeting was held this month to discuss the draft budget implications. The meeting discussed proposed fees and charges and capital works to ensure they provide both a value for money holiday and an enhanced camping experience.
Community Halls
Community Halls across the Shire were busy again this month with regular hirers, private functions, workshops, public meetings, personal training and fundraisers. Minor halls recorded
74% occupancy, secondary halls 60% occupancy and township halls recorded 90% occupancy rates. The occupancy rates indicate all facilities are being well used by the community.
110 online forms were received for the month of June; this is continually increasing and the preferred method of completing the application to hire a Community Hall.
Regular User Groups
A variety of new permanent bookings have commenced this month at: Mount Martha House
Community Centre, Mount Eliza Community Centre and Red Hill Community Hall this month. New bookings include meditation classes, exercise classes for older adults and a Steiner playgroup.
Hall Improvements
• Red Hill Community Hall – storage room cleaned out, a sound proof cabinet installed for the
• indoor water pump, new chair trolley delivered.
Shoreham Community Hall – Projector screen installed as requested by hall hirers, the screen was recycled from the Dromana Community Hall following an upgrade to a larger system last month.
• Trestle trolleys were delivered to Currawong, Boneo, Blairgowrie and Baxter Community
Halls. Storage rooms were cleaned up and tables stacked on trolleys. This assists hirers to wheel the tables to the location required and to be stored safely.

COMMUNITY AND SPECIAL EVENTS
Operations
There were 12 events and two Weddings held on the Peninsula during June, with an estimated
5,540 event participants in attendance. The Shire funded three large events which were the
Mornington Winter Jazz Festival, the Winter Wine Festival and the Winter Solstice Festival.
Mornington came alive over the Q ueen’s Birthday long weekend with the sights and sounds of the
Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. The Winter Jazz Festival boasts a national line up of performing artists plus free concerts and performances by swing and jazz musicians. The Festival continues to succeed in attracting visitors to the Mornington Peninsula throughout winter with an array of all- inclusive events and activities.
The annual Winter Wine Festival held at Red Hill Recreation Reserve was abuzz showcasing produce from local wineries and restaurants this month. Held by the Mornington Peninsula
Vignerons Association the Festival aimed to showcase local wine and food excellence by combining the Penins ula’s well known and newly established businesses in the one location. The event also encourages visitors back to the vast array of restaurants and wineries through workshops and offering exclusive deals over the Q ueen’s Birthday long weekend.
Financially, the favourable month to date variance of $202k is largely a result of equipment lease payments and wages which are yet to be accrued as part of the year end process. At the time of production of this report some utility payments were yet to be distributed which have also attributed to the monthly result.

Overwhelmingly, 57% of the public rated it 5 out of 5 for very good, 40% gave it a 4 out of
5 for good, no one rated the films 1 or 2.
When asked what if anything they had learnt
– the public told us:
•
•
“How diverse we are and how important it is to celebrate it.
”
“How many beautiful people there are in the world who have had to face so much diversity in their life.
”

On Monday, 23 June, Council formally approved the Mornington Peninsula Shire Community
Garden Policy and Community Garden Information Kit which clarifies Council ’s role and commitment to Community Gardens and will provide assistance to interested community groups wishing to establish a Community Garden.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Mornington Pa rk “Have Your Say” Event
A “Have Your Say” day was conducted at the Currawong Centre in Mornington Park. A neighbourhood survey was conducted with over 60 responses from local residents who took the time to provide some feedback on the local area.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 106

The event was attended by approximately 150 residents who took the opportunity to talk to Briars
Ward Councillors and members of the Infrastructure team about traffic and road safety issues.
DISABILITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION
Accessible mobility path planning for Somerville is underway and a workshop is to be held in July.
Updating of the new “Disability Services and Information Resource Guide” is almost complete and will go to print in July/August. This year the Mornington Peninsula Shire has joined with Frankston
City Council to produce a booklet that will service both local government areas and provide up-to- date information on disability services, groups, equipment and aids, transport, housing and carer respite to name a few, and is a valued resource for the community. It will also be available electronically.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
The Health and Wellbeing Plan continues to provide the foundation and evidence to support a number of significant programs across the Peninsula. Such programs include a partnership with
Peninsula Film Festival for the development of a short film addressing young people and alcohol, partnership with Peninsula Pride to address the shortage of G P’s who are accredited to prescribe s100 to potential HIV positive persons, partnering with several heads of the Churches on the
Peninsula to develop a community forum on the impact of family violence on the community. Work continues regarding the impact of gaming machines on communities as well as big box packaged liquor outlets and the associated community harms through mismanagement.
HOUSING RIGHTS AND ISSUES
The Triple A Housing Committee maintains involvement in implementation of the Shir e’s Rooming
House Policy through the West Rosebud Rooming House Project which is successfully linking more vulnerable rooming house residents with appropriate support services. Similarly, support for the Peninsula Parks and Residential Villages Group is seeing the development of a self-supporting group aimed at improving living standards in parks and linking residents.
A Homelessness Sleep Out and Breakfast with the Homeless event is being planned for 5 August to draw attention to the growing incidence of homelessness on the Peninsula. Also looking at opportunities to boost the supply of social housing utilising the Mornington Peninsula Shire Social and Affordable Housing Policy.
New plans are being finalized for the upgrade and management of the four Council owned emergency housing properties in Mornington. Residents will be supported by relevant support agencies and assisted to prepare long term housing applications with the Office of Housing.
MEN ’S SHEDS
Work is progressing on the complex planning and development of the Somerville/Tyabb Men ’s
Shed behind the Baxter Hall and it is hoped construction works will commence in late July.

One of the implementation actions of the Shir e’s Positive Ageing Strategy, “A Community for All
Ages ”, was to further promote the many opportunities and services available to older community members. To this end, a new initiative has commenced in partnership with the Peninsula Advisory
Committee for Elders (PACE) who will be appearing in a new radio show entitled, PACE On Air .
This radio show will be a half hour timeslot on RPP FM
’s Drive Time Show (98.7 FM) and will address the eight key positive ageing outcomes which were identified in the Positive Ageing
Strategy. PACE will partner with local service providers, agencies and other to outline one key outcome per show. The show will also feature forthcoming positive ageing activities and scheduled. The PACE On Air show will be broadcast every three weeks.
As at the end of June, Council had received 1,494 registrations as part of the Kindergarten
Central Registration process for four year old kindergarten places in 2015. This is spread across the eleven kindergartens across the Shire that have vacancies. 94% of registered families have received and accepted their c hild’s placement for 2015.
The Communities That Care (CTC) team attended the lecture at the Royal Childr en’s Hospital with the co-founder of CTC, Dr Richard Catalano. The attendees were able to talk to Dr Catalano who expressed his delight regarding the success of the Shir e’s CTC initiative which he stated as outstanding .
As part of the Playground Strategy Implementation Program a number of works have been undertaken, including a new double timber swing at Peter Shelmerdine Reserve in Portsea, new play equipment at Dr Morell Reserve in Mornington, playground construction at Schnapper Point, and a timber basket swing and equipment refurbishments has been completed at the Rotary Park
Reserve in Mount Eliza. Also, community consultation has taken and feedback collated for new play equipment for the playground at Jones Road Reserve in Somerville which is anticipated to be completed by the end of the month.
The Pavilion Strategy continues to be rolled out across the Shire with detailed design work being completed for Fruitgrowers Reserve Pavilion in Somerville and Mount Martha Tennis Pavilion.
Detail design work is currently underway for Balnarring Recreation Reserve Pavilion and Citation

Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery was praised by both Vince Jones and audience members for being a fantastic venue. There was also increased numbers of visitors over the Q ueen’s
Birthday weekend to both the 2014 National Works on Paper and Paul Kelly and the Portraits exhibitions.
The Shire also received runner-up place in the Inaugural Victorian Local Governance Association and Reconciliation Victoria HART Award. HART stands for Helping Achieve Reconciliation
Together and recognises the great and varied work happening in Local Government and community organisations that contribute to local reconciliation outcomes.
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 109

Updating of the new Disability Services and Information Resource Guide is almost complete and will go into print in July/August. This year, the Shire has joined with Frankston City Council to produce a publication that will service both Local Government areas and provide up-to-date information for the community. It will also be available electronically.
Financially, the favourable monthly variance of $206k is largely a result of unexpected grant funding being received for Rosebud West Community Renewal Project and Willum Warrain.

Local Government Performance Reporting Framework (LGPRF)
Local Government Victoria (LGV) is working closely with Councils to deliver a new performance reporting framework for local government. The framework will become mandatory for implementation by Councils as part of the 2014-15 planning and reporting cycle.
Ongoing discussions with the units involved in the LGPRF have continued to ensure the organisation is in a strong position to report against the framework as of the 1 July 2015 mandatory timeframe. An analysis of 2013-2014 end-of year data will be undertaken this month.
Customer Responsiveness
Ongoing monitoring of merit and correspondence continues. Our team has continued to provide input and advice to further align our corporate systems with Council and community expectations.
We have also fully participated in the more detailed, shire-wide customer service charter and workflow initiatives.
Shire Grant Model
The team is coordinating the review and establishment of a future grant model that responds to the requirements of the draft Local Government Amendment (Governance & Conduct) Bill 2014, specifically the administrative arrangements of the current Councillor Discretionary Fund.
The review also presents an opportunity to revisit the current Community Grant (General and Arts
Stream) and Community Partnership Programs to determine a model that best delivers grants to our community. A report to Council is scheduled for 28 July 2014.
Financially, there is a variation of $21k over the forecast monthly expenditure. This was due to an increased payment to expand the scope and scale of a community satisfaction survey. The end of year forecast remains unchanged as this cost was budgeted for payment in the earlier part of the year.

Learning and Development (including OH&S training)
The annual “speed reading” program is offered to team members undertaking Shire supported formal tertiary education, to assist them in balancing their work, personal and study commitments.
All participants showed improvement in their reading speeds at the conclusion of the program evidenced in their test results.
The Corporate Learning & Development Program for 2014/15 was finalised in preparation for the upcoming Performance Development and Review of all staff. There are a range of programs available to continually support the development of our team membe rs’ skills and knowledge base.
Feedback was sought from our people managers across the organization, as well as many internal subject matter experts, who will continue to support the organization through internal processes and systems to assist them in performing their roles to the highest standard possible. A number of new internally facilitated sessions have been added to the 2015 program.
Occupational Health and Safety
The Emergency Warden Training program concluded with over 50 Local Area and Floor Wardens being trained in Emergency Procedures. Phase two of the program will entail a higher level training program for the Shir e’s Chief and Deputy Chief Wardens, commencing in October.
Two new Draft Policies, Working in Environmental Extremes and Safe Driving, were provided to
OHS Committees for consultation
A draft discussion/options paper is being developed regarding a Peer Support Program.
Recruitment
The recruitment process is complex and requires regular review to ensure it is operating effectively. In June the termination process was reviewed, specifically addressing the notification of external stakeholders when a staff member leaves. This process was identified as important as it ensures continuity of projects and issues and provides external stakeholders with contact details to enable them to direct their queries to an appropriate officer.
Financially, the year end variance is due to increased paid parental leave of $76K, offset to a greater extent by savings in Staff Training ($32K) and Wages ($19K).

Governance
Due to the recent resignation of Cr Frank Martin, a by-election for the Red Hill Ward will be held to fill the extraordinary vacancy. The Minister has fixed the date of the by-election to be Saturday 23
August and has published details in the Victoria Government Gazette. The by-election will be conducted by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) and voting will be conducted by postal voting. Ms Julie Allan has been appointed by the Electoral Commissioner to be the Returning
Officer for the by-election (Ms Allan has been the Returning Officer at previous Council elections).
The Voters Lists for the upcoming Red Hill Ward by-election were placed on exhibition between 23
- 27 June to provide the opportunity for any person to inspect and lodge a written objection, if necessary, to any error or omission. Applications to be enrolled on the Voters Rolls for the by- election closed on 27 June. A Candidate Information Session will be held at the Shire's Rosebud
Office on 15 July for any person considering nominating for election. Nominations will open on 17
July and must be lodged with the Returning Officer by 12 noon on 22 July.
At the Council Meeting on 23 June, Council considered a proposal to officially name the unnamed pedestrian walkway between 50 and 52 High Street, Hastings, in honour of Mr Dermot O
’Toole. Mr
O ’Toole and his wife Bridget operated the Jewel Shed, a jewellery store located in High Street,
Hastings, for 26 years. On 12 July 2013, during an armed robbery at their place of business, Mr
O ’Toole was tragically killed. Following Mr O’Toole’s death, the outpouring of grief from the community was immense as he was well known by locals and fellow traders as a caring, friendly and approachable person. The naming of the walkway as "O ’Toole Walk" will now been publicly advertised and submissions invited to the proposal. If no objections are received, the proposal will be forwarded to the Office of Geographic Names for formal approval and gazettal.

During June, Officers attended the inaugural FOI Practitioners Forum conducted by the Freedom of Information Commissioner ’s Office. The Forum provided an excellent opportunity to understand current issues from the perspective of the FOI Commissioner ’s office and to assist Agencies in the administration of FOI legislation. The FOI Commissioner will provide further training and guidance material to Agencies throughout the year.
Customer Service
The 20 second telephone call answering performance for June in the first response (switchboard) was 81.4%, which exceeded the target of 80%. This indicator means that callers who phone the
Shir e’s main telephone number receive a personal greeting in less than 20 seconds. The storm event on 24 July 2014 impacted our call target. On this day, 1,513 calls were received and dealt with by customer service officers. It should be noted that the second indicator measures the transfer from the ‘switchboard’ to the customer service officer who manages the enquiry from the caller.
The two minute performance was 97.2%, which was above the target (target 95%), and the customer call abandon rate was excellent at 1.7%, which is significantly better than the target of
3.0%. Abandoned calls, sometimes called lost calls, are callers that hang up before answer. These are expressed as a percentage of total calls offered, and generally range in many large volume call centres up to 4%.
The number of calls during June was 20,670 compared to the May call rate of 22,232, a decrease of 1,562.
Statutory Planning Administration Telephones
The call answering performance for within 20 seconds was 93.2% (target 80%) and the two minute performance was 99.2% (target 95%). The customer abandon rate was 1.0% (target 7%). These results are similar to last month and meet all targets. Calls regarding current applications are directed to the particular planner handling the application and are therefore not included in this report.
Environment Protection Unit Telephones
The call answering performance for the 20 second and the two minute performance targets (target
95%) were met. The customer abandon rate was excellent at 2.2% (target 7%).
Monthly Report June 2014 Page 116

Extended Hours Call Service
Calls during the Shir e’s extended telephone hours (before and after normal operating hours) were
25 calls per day and 495 for the month, this is 54 less than May. The customer abandon rate during the extended hours decreased to 1.6%, better than the target of 3.0%. Of those extended hours callers, over 90% were resolved immediately with most calls being of a routine nature and dealt with by Customer Service staff raising a Service Request or through the provision of general information.
After Hours Contact Service
This is the call service to the Shir e’s external service provider for calls received after 6pm and before 8am. There were 454 calls for the month, an increase of 95 on May.
Service Requests
Service requests raised during June numbered 7,757 compared with 7,012 in May. This is an increase of 745 on May, and an increase of 2,276 when compared to last June.
The number of overdue requests at the end of June numbered 380.
Community Engagement Activities
Invitations have been sent to candidates for the next Citizenship Ceremony to be held at the
Peninsula Community Theatre on 16 July. It is anticipated that 70 local residents will become
Australian citizens at this Ceremony.
A local township Council Meeting was held at the Peninsula Community Theatre on 23 June with many local residents and representatives from community groups in attendance.
Financially, the reported year end result has been influenced by a payment for insurance, which was posted to the current financial year. Accounting entries will correct this unfavourable variance when the year end position is finalised. Overall the budget was on target at year end

• Renegotiated the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, leveraging the MAV procurement process. The end result is that IS was able to negotiate a fixed price for the next 3 years for our Microsoft product maintenance that covers additional products. In effect, the costs of Microsoft products will have only increased by 1% over 6 years from 2011 to 2017 as a result of the recent IS negotiations, despite an increase is user numbers by 10% and increased server based products.
Financially,
The year end operating result of $368k is due to the timing invoices and payments. Accruals will be managed in accordance with year-end processes.

Revenue Management
Approx. 4,700 final notices were issued in June for all outstanding rate instalment and arrangement default accounts. Of these, 2,600 ratepayers received their final notice reminder in the form of an
SMS message. The response to the SMS reminders has been very positive with over 1,000 payments being received almost immediately.
Courtesy telephone calls continued this month as we attempt to make contact with ratepayers whose 2013/14 rates remain unpaid. Again, the response has produced some excellent results.
Interest raised throughout the year is reviewed and/or waived for those ratepayers who have made and adhered to an agreed payment arrangement throughout the year. This can really make a difference to their outstanding balance and is an encouragement to continue into the New Year.
The collection of rates has again achieved 96.2% collected by the end of the financial year.
Checks and balances have been prepared for the end of financial year processes for all rates, sundry debtors and special charge schemes. The design of rate notice base stock, information brochures and waste vouchers are nearly complete in readiness for the issue of the 2014/15 rate notices.
Over 1,000 ratepayers have registered to receive their rate notices electronically for the 2014/15 and sign off has been completed for the introduction of Bpay view which will be available from 1
July.
Accounting Services
A report summarising the 20 submissions received for the 2014/15 proposed budget was presented to the s223 Committee hearing meeting on the 12 June. Some submissions asked specific questions, which were either responded to at the meeting or will be followed up with submitters in the near future. A number of submissions advocated additions to the proposed budget or alternative rating and fee structures, but most were made in relation to the development of recreation and community infrastructure and the refurbishment and upgrading of community facilities.
Council formally considered the s223 submissions prior to adopting the 2014/15 budget on the 30
June 2014.
Preparation for the year-end financial statements and audit continued during the month.
Financially, the YTD favourable variance of $1,566k is primarily due to the processing of year end accounting entries (employee provisions) in the Finance area that are still being finalised and will impact on the year to date position shown in this report. Once year end processes are finalised, the
Annual Statements will state the true year end position.

As is always the case, the month of June has been incredibly busy for the Sustainable
Organisation Group with team members focussing on a range of year-end processes and finalising arrangements for the new financial year.
The Rates and Valuation team have also been heavily engaged in the budget process, via the finalisation of the property revaluation results. This process takes place every two years and involves a complete revaluation of all properties within the municipality. The Valuation Return, which involves residential, rural, industrial and commercial properties, was also reported to
Council, without modification, on Monday, 30 June 2014.
The number of service requests received by our Customer Service team continues to rise with service requests raised during June numbered 7,757 compared with 7,012 in May. This is an increase of 745 on May, and an increase of 2,276 when compared to last June. The organisation continues to absorb these increases without additional resources, through a range of ongoing efficiency and productivity measures.
The Information Services team have also been fully occupied throughout June with a range of key milestones achieved during the month. The team have renegotiated the Microsoft Enterprise
Agreement in order to realise cost savings for the organisation. The end result is that the team were able to negotiate a fixed price for the next three years for our Microsoft product maintenance that covers additional products. In effect, the costs of Microsoft products will have only increased by 1% over 6 years from 2011 to 2017 as a result of the recent negotiations, despite an increase in user numbers by 10% and increased server based products.
Financially, the group is on track to meet year-end budget forecasts with final analysis currently being undertaken to finalise the end of year position.

The Corporate Performance Statement is a hybrid of the Standard Operating and Cash Flow
Statements.
This statement is designed to assist in understanding the cash implications of budget decisions, and therefore excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and new subdivision assets.
The results of the normal operations of Council are shown as Funds Available .
From a budget perspective, in June there are no changes to report.
