  After 9 years and countless hours of negotiation, we finally have a workable masterplan for our sporting precinct! We were also able to get a priority list approved. The full masterplan agenda item is on the Mornpen website in the meeting agenda for 23rd July starting at page 240. https://www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/…/council-meeting-agenda…
 
  Following is the approved high priority list, this will be subject to change as grants become available for items.
 
  That Council prioritise the delivery of the following high priority and two medium priority actions in the Master Plan, in the following order and amend the implementation plan in the master plan accordingly:
 
  1. 2 x competition netball courts including fencing, shelters and lighting situated behind the Football/cricket pavilion (including installation of new protective fence behind goals) and removal of existing Cypress trees along Hotham rd behind pavilion. Including nets behind the goals at either end.
  2. Construction of new entry/exit for football reserve noting that all paths will be included as shared roads as is throughout Sorrento, that the unmade road continues to go around the ground near the public toilets. To include the road to the pavilion and carparking next to the Bowling club and Pavillion only. (formerly medium priority)

This is exactly what everyone has been asking for, and an amazing achievement in unity!  We have an opportunity to community fund some parts of the project, which is great news as we can start to see movement.

PORTSEA DRAINAGE

With the assistance of Portsea residents providing images, we were able to have the crushed, non functioning drainage pipe under the Portsea Pier escalated so that now it is in the current budget.  This huge damaged pipe caused parts of Portsea to flood.

FUNDED – IN PROGRESSS

Completed – also sections between Sorrento East & West Camping Grounds, it is making a huge difference to the pathway access, & is much safer.

DOGS IN PUBLIC PLACES POLICY

DOGS IN PUBLIC PLACES POLICY

Despite strong opposition from officers & some councillors we have managed a few wins.  We will have to be on our game as the council starts to try and  delist non compliant leash free areas.   Amazing help and support from Leash Free Mornington Peninsula, Andrea Allen, Chris Healy and our doggie community – well done!

COMPLETED

FOOTPATH CONSTRUCTION CHANGES

We have been successful in changing the footpath policy to include crushed rock, granitic sand, recycled asphalt and concrete as well as other materials – until now it has been exposed aggregate & concrete only.  There is still a lot ot work to do in this space as there are currently  115 footpaths on the Pedestrian Network, this doesn’t include many of the footpaths that we see as vital in our communities for pedestrian safety.  Over the last 5 years we have managed 3 foot paths, meaning we are looking at over 160 years to get the PPN paths done.
