Shire CEO Michael Kennedy will ap-ply to get his job back after councillors decided Monday last week in a shock decision to advertise his position rath-er than to reappoint him.

In an email to staff the day after the councillors decision, Dr Kennedy wrote: I fi rmly believe that I am the very best person for the role of shire CEO.

Councillors made their decision after what is believed to have been a long and at times bitter meeting. Sources say that only three of the 10 council-lors at the meeting voted to reappoint Dr Kennedy for another term. He has been CEO for 15 years.

The special Special Purposes Com-mittee Meeting to discuss his future began at 5pm and adjourned just be-fore 7pm for the scheduled council meeting.

In question time at that meeting the mayor Cr Antonella Celi said she had received two questions related to a confi dential matter under council discussion. I just wish to advise that a formal statement will shortly [be] released in regard to these questions, she told the meeting.

At least one of the questions sought information on the outcome of coun-cillors discussions about the CEOs

future. Councillors reconvened to con-tinue these discussions after the brief council meeting.

The shire media release about the councillors decision on the CEO was emailed at 10.21am the next day. It was followed 17 minutes later by Dr Kennedys email to staff, addressed to Team-mates, of his intention to run for the job, for which he currently earns some $350,000 annually.

Dr then Mr Kennedy was hired as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999. He was reappointed in 2004, 2008 and 2012, with contro-versy surrounding the 2004 and 2008 reappointments.

Concern was also expressed about the 2012 reappointment, many in the community feeling the market should be tested to see what calibre of ap-plicant might be attracted to the job, which pays more than most state pre-miers get.

The 2008 concern culminated in an Ombudsmans inquiry in 2009, sparked by community complaints about the reappointment process, es-pecially that of 2004.

Then Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer found the reappointment was lawful. But he criticised the shires handling of requests made under free-dom of information law.

ITS now offi cial, the Mornington Peninsula is to be treated differently to metropolitan Melbourne when it comes to planning.

The state government on Friday re-leased a new Mornington Peninsula planning statement to ensure that the peninsula will be protected for future generations.

The peninsula will be planned as an area of special character, with a role clearly distinct from and comple-mentary to metropolitan Melbourne, Mornington MP David Morris said.

The peninsula is one of Melbourne's greatest assets, with areas of national and international conservation signifi -cance, and a substantial and diverse lo-cal economy.

Mr Morris chaired the government-appointed committee that prepared the draft statement. Also on the com-mittee were the then mayor Cr Lynne Bowden, Flinders Ratepayers Asso-ciation president Ranald McDonald, Andrew Lovelock of PG Speedie and Associates, shire CEO Michael Ken-nedy and other council offi cers.

Mr Morris said the protecting the peninsula was critical for the local community [and] the wider metro-politan region.

As an area near to a rapidly growing metropolitan area there are increasing pressures and demands being placed on the peninsula, he said.

The new policy will guide decision-making by every government depart-ment, public authority, and the Morn-

The peninsula stands alone for planningThe peninsula stands alone for planning

ington Peninsula Shire.The new planning rules provided the

peninsula with clear policy direction which will: Recognise, maintain and enhance its special values; Appreciate the existing diversity and delicate balance of land-use which has been carefully planned over a long pe-riod;

Provide for a clear separation of the peninsula from metropolitan Mel-bourne, prevent expansion of the met-ropolitan area onto the peninsula, and maintain the current settlement pat-terns; Express planning priorities for the peninsula which are different from and complementary to those which apply in other areas;

Integrate environmental, social and economic considerations; and Support a strong land-use planning framework, providing certainty for landowners and the community over time.

"The development of a local plan-ning statement has long been an am-bition of mine, Mr Morris, a former president of the former Shire of Morn-

ington, said.The election of a Coalition govern-

ment in 2010 gave me the opportunity to carry the proposition forward, in conjunction with Mornington Peninsu-la Shire and the peninsula community.

"This planning statement builds on the work undertaken by the council as part of its Plan Peninsula process.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the new planning scheme has been an election commitment of mine since the late 1990s.

This peninsula planning scheme will fi nally put the environmental and community protections in place that the peninsula has been long seeking and urgently requires, Mr Dixon said.

The mayor Cr Antonella Celi sees the announcement of the new plan-ning policy as a monumental mo-ment in the history of the Mornington Peninsula.

The planning policy would help to protect the things we value the most about the peninsula.

Our residents appreciate the penin-sula as it is, they support appropriate development and new opportunities, but want to ensure the special look, feel and ambience of the peninsula - the things that make us different from suburban Melbourne - are well pro-tected, Cr Celi said.

As Melbournes population rapidly accelerates towards eight million by 2051, the peninsula will continue to play a range of complementary roles in tourism, recreation, agriculture and manufacturing, but our community is clear that we are not suburbia, and dont want to be.

Planning rules: Mornington Peninsula mayor Antonella Celi and Mornington MP David Morris believe new planning rules have secured the peninsula against becoming another suburb of Melbourne. Picture: Gary Sissons

PARISHIONERS at St Marks Unit-ing Church Mornington celebrated 30 years of worship last week, although there has been a church in the vicinity of Barkly St and Waterloo Place since the late 1800s.

The original weatherboard church was moved to the rear of the Masonic hall in 1917 while St Marks Uniting, as it is now, opened in August 1984.

The last service in the Wesley Church was in September 1984.

The large congregation consists mainly of older people. We do have Messy Church once a month when lots of children and their relatives enjoy friendship and togetherness, parishioner Jean Woods said. It is an active, happy church.

There are also mens and womens

groups, bible study groups, social justice network and mens paper tie up, which started in 1974. Playgroups meet at the church during the week.

In the world of today, church is a place where we pray for world prob-lems as well as being active in many social needs. We are lucky people who love God and have the will to do good, Ms Woods said.

Church celebrates its 30th birthdayChurch celebrates its 30th birthday

Fox and cat controlFox and cat controlTHE annual fox and feral cat control program is underway in some areas of Balcombe Estuary Bushland Reserve.

Signs and barricades are in place in areas where the trapping is being done on the southern areas of the creek.

The Mornington Peninsula Shires ongoing program which began last week will see some parts of the reserve temporarily closed to public access for two weeks.

Di Lewis, of the Balcombe Estu-ary Reserves Group, Mt Martha,

said reserve users should obey all signs, notices and local laws for their personal safety and that of their pets. Domestic animals should be confi ned to their property, and dogs should be walked on a leash.

Details: Virgil, of contractors Jan-craft, 0410 663870.

Fond farewell Fond farewell BERG Mt Martha members said a fi nal farewell to a dedicated and ac-tive member at White Lady Funerals chapel last week.

Mary Stemp, 83, born in Canada in

1931, passed away on 9 August.As secretary of Berg from its

beginning in 1997 until 2011 she coordinated many projects, including Waterwatch and the regular Tuesday working bee in The Bunyip.

Over the past year Ms Stemp devoted her time to researching and documenting the history of Berg Mt Martha. Her legacy can be seen and admired each time members visit the Balcombe Estuary Reserves.

A committal service was held at Mornington Cemetery, Craigie Rd, after the funeral.

AN ENVIRONMENT group is horrifi ed that excavation works for one of two service stations beside the Peninsula Link freeway are on a pri-mary catchment of the Balcombe Creek, which runs into the bay at Mt Martha.

The Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Estuary Group says reports by planning and heritage con-sultants Ecology & Heritage Partners show the development has the potential to cause major and damaging impacts on the sensitive and vul-nerable ecology and health of the creek and its catchment, which it describes as one of the most extensive, intact and signifi cant catchments and waterways on the Mornington Peninsula.

The group says the threat to the signifi cant listed species, dwarf galaxias, and to the swamp skink and the growling grass frog, is of major concern.

That such a development even be considered just above a fl ood plain is inconceivable, presi-dent Graham Hubbard said.

Its inappropriateness is highlighted by the pre-sent state of the inundated fl ood plain and the al-ready fl ooded excavations for the development.

The group is concerned about the potential for contaminated run-off and spills from the freeway near Mt Eliza which could have a major effect on the whole of the creek and the diverse fl ora and fauna it supports.

There is strong community investment in, and support for, the protection of this creek and catch-ment, Mr Hubbard said.

BERG Mt Martha, whose members care for 44 hectares of reserves between the highway and the bay, is one of a number of community groups that have put hundreds of thousands of hours into caring for and restoring the catchment area.

Mr Hubbard said this work had been strongly supported by both grants and on-ground work by the Mornington Peninsula Shire and Mel-bourne Water. Both organisations have a strong interest and investment in the health of the creek and catchment.

The group was unaware of works on the service station development until members saw the exca-vation works.

We have since learnt that there was conten-tion [for the works], but with limited publicity, he said. It would have been basic courtesy and good practice to inform and seek the viewpoints of all the groups involved with the catchment.

Mr Hubbard said the development seems to-tally in confl ict with the stated environmental ob-jectives of the shire and the federal government.

BERG is seeking: Assurance wants recommendations in the

threatened species conservation management plan strictly adhered to;

To know what specifi c offsets are planned for the development of this green wedge land;

That net gain offsets be used within the area, not on land elsewhere nor as a fi nancial contri-bution towards existing council managed land;

That the opportunity be taken to maximise net gain and to revegetate and restore this section of the creek;

To be involved in any restoration to replace the land and vegetation damaged by the develop-ment;

Assurance that this area be given its due sta-tus as a headwater of Balcombe Creek (as per the signs on Peninsula Link and other nearby roads) and not downgraded, as in the planning docu-ments, by being designated an outfall drain.

THE fi nal two weeks of voting weeks in the Red Hill byelection have been marred by complaints about candidates to the Victorian Electoral Com-mission and how community groups were being encouraged to vote.

Although the VEC says it cannot comment, it is understood complaints have been made against one candidate for illegal signs and another for us-ing a photograph of himself wearing a shirt embla-zoned with Mornington Peninsula Shire logos and describing himself as a recent former councillor.

The photographs of Leigh Eustace being used in his printed literature and advertisements in this newspa-per were taken during his time as a shire councillor.

Ive been sent a letter alleging Ive breached section 55A of the Local Government Act which contains penalties of up to $9000 or six months jail for acting in a misleading or deceptive manner, Mr Eustace said.

A follow-up letter on Monday told Mr Eustace that an investigation showed no offence had been commited and no further action would be taken.

The other major upset followed a decision by the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group to invite fewer than half the 17 candidates to address its members.

The groups chairman David Maddocks said on Thursday that the group had decided that can-didates from within the ward were more likely to have a better idea of the issues.

We were trying to sort some wheat from the chaff, he said.

However, Red Hill ward resident and council candidate Barbara Porter was left off the invitation list while Kylie Greer, who lives outside the ward at Arthurs Seat, was invited to attend.

Of all of the candidates in this election my resi-dence is smack in middle of the Red Hill ward and by the consultative groups own narrow limited cri-teria I should have been included, Ms Porter said.

Ms Porter said that contrary to a report in The

News (Ward candidates denied a hearing, 12/8/14) she did spend a lot of time in the ward and was anxious for the record to be corrected other-wise my nameless critic may just get away with nobbling my chances in this election.

She criticised the consultative groups lack of transparency and what would appear to be a con-fl ict of interest by some on the interviewing panel, as at least two people to my knowledge are affi li-ated with, or have been actively supporting, par-ticular candidates in this byelection.

I believe all candidates should have had the op-portunity to present to community groups in this pre-election meeting, that is what democracy is about, Ms Porter said.

Mr Eustace, resident of Mt Eliza and a big sup-porter of democracy, said three current council-lors do not live in their wards.

Mr Eustace said the consultative group had cer-tainly not been thinking of the best interests of the residents of the Red Hill ward by not considering other candidates.

After hearing from the seven invited candidates the consultative group placed Tim Wood at the top of its preference list followed by Kerry Watson and Mark Fancett.

Members of the consultative group are drawn from community groups from Flinders, Somers, Shoreham, Balnarring Beach, Cape Schanck and Red Hill.

Following the groups meeting Christine Haydon used the PEN-X delivery system to let people know the groups objective was to choose 1 candidate to recom-mend and support to the various represented groups if you are a voter please consider Tim Wood.

Peninsula Exchange (PEN-X), is effectively an electronic post offi ce used to share information by many peninsula community groups and indi-viduals.

PEN-X chair, Peter Avery, said it had been to-tally incorrect of The News to say Ms Haydon represented PEN-X. There was no representative from PEN-X at that meeting and in fact PEN-X is

an email distribution hub only and therefore takes no part in any community meeting activities.

The News did not name Ms Haydon in its report.Mr Maddocks said Ms Haydon had attended the

meeting representing the shire-wide group, Penin-sula Speaks.

Organisations representing any community groups in the ward are entitled to come, he said.

Mr Maddocks said meetings were not open to in-dividuals, only to people representing a group, or-ganisation or incorporated body operating within the Red Hill ward.

He said Ms Haydon was entitled to choose her way of communicating the outcome of the meet-ing.

We dont control people, he said. Christine was entitled to only mention one candidate [in her PEN-X emails], although its not something that we would necessarily have condoned.

Were trying to help people, not trying to ex-clude people.

Ms Haydon did not return calls from The News.Mr Maddocks said he had invited Kylie Greer

to speak without realising she did not live within the ward.

She lives one street out of the boundary of the ward; it may have been an error on our part.

Mr Maddocks said there would not have been enough time to adequately assess each of the 17 candidates.

Members of the group are entitled to invite whoever they want. Were a bunch of people, very good people, respected in the community because of the work they do.

Voters in Red Hill ward have until 6pm Friday to return their completed ballot paper and avoid a fi ne.

If its getting too late to return completed ballot material by post, voters can deliver it in person, returning offi cer Julie Allan said.

The election offi ce is at Shop 13, 143 Point Ne-pean Rd, Dromana.

STUDENTS from Balcombe Gram-mar, Rosebud Secondary College, Chisholm Institute Frankston and Mt Eliza Secondary College attended last weeks Teenagers Road Accident Group TRAG forum at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington.

The 400 students and teachers heard all about driving and road safety from Pricilla Grimme, Southern Metro Central Region SES, Grant Wat-kins, Victoria Police, and presenters Brendan Lang, Skye Thorpe and Sam Howe.

Teenagers Road Accident Group members gave students P-plates which, on their reverse side, feature an image of the tree which took the life of Stacey House, daughter of TRAG chairperson Terry House. Her sister, Kelly, gave a moving presenta-tion.

Dont-txt-n-drive packs - with bright orange wristbands or key chains were provided by Vicky Richardson, a Shepparton mother who doesnt want daughter Brookes death to go unnoticed.

The 20 year old hairdresser had won apprentice-of-the-year two years running and loved helping those less fortunate, but, she made the fatal mistake of texting when driving the last decision she ever made.

These packs are now at all Wool-worth stores on the peninsula.

Guests at the TRAG presentation included Assistant Police Commis-sioner Robert Hill, MPs Martin Dixon and Greg Hunt, Mornington Penin-sula Shire CEO Dr Michael Kennedy, and representatives from Lions and other service groups.

Continued from Page 1He recommended changes in how the shire

dealt with FOI applications and urged counsel-ling for then corporate support manager Noel Buck and for Dr Kennedy. Mr Buck was coun-selled; Dr Kennedy was not.

The councillors decision last Monday not to reappoint but to advertise the CEOs job came at a crucial moment, with councillor numbers tied fi ve-all in the 11-member chamber (one position is vacant) and the possibility that the issue could go down to the casting vote of the meeting chair, Cr David Garnock.

Red Hill ward has had no councillor since Frank Martin retired in May this year because of illness. His replacement will be known on 23 August when the current ward byelection result is known.

Had last Mondays decision been to reappoint Dr Kennedy, 62, it could have been short-lived. It could have been overturned after the byelection had the new councillor opposed the decision to reappoint. Many of the 17 Red Hill ward byelec-tion candidates had indicated they oppose reap-pointment.

It is believed this argument was put with some force to councillors last Monday, its proponents arguing council would look foolish were they to make a decision knowing it almost certainly would be reversed two weeks or so later.

Section 94 of the Local Government Act pro-vides that councils can resolve to reappoint their CEO but must then advertise that intention, with a 14-day wait before they ratify the decision or not.

That 14 days would have expired after the bye-lection result, meaning the new Red Hill ward councillor would have taken his or her place in the chamber.

More broadly, the new councillor could change the council balance of power by joining one group of fi ve on a number of crucial issues, in-cluding whether to build the contentious, expen-sive Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the

Rosebud foreshore or to build it at all.The groups comprise councillors Lynn Bowden,

Graham Pittock, Bev Colomb, Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers on one side and David Gibb, Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, Antonella Celi and David Garnock on the other. Frank Martin belonged to the Gibb group, giving it a 6-5 majority on crucial issues such as the SPA and reappointment of the CEO.

While it is early to speculate on a new CEO, it is highly likely that the new chief, or a reap-pointed Dr Kennedy, will embark on a program of comprehensive and wide-reaching changes to the shire.

Scooter access ramps upScooter access ramps upPLATFORMS on the Frankston line are being fi tted with ramps so people with mobility aids such as wheelchairs and motorised scooters can board trains more easily.

And no-cyclist signs will be painted on platforms to prevent bike riders boarding the front of the fi rst carriage and taking up all the space.

The idea came from Patterson Lakes resi-dent Bill Walstab at the Kingston Cabinet in November. He joined Carrum MP Donna Bauer and Transport Minister Terry Mulder last week to inspect the fi rst ramp at Carrum station.

The ramps will give mobility aid users greater freedom and confi dence to travel on public transport without feeling like they are holding up hundreds of people while they board or alight, Mr Walstab said.

The $4.5 million project will allow wheel-chair and other mobility-aid users to enter the fi rst door of the fi rst carriage of trains unas-sisted, giving them greater independence. They are being funded as part of the $115 million Bayside Rail Project.

RISING unemployment combined with welfare cuts and increased household costs are pushing more and more Frankston Mornington Peninsula families into fi nancial crisis, especially within marginalised pockets of the region.

Latest jobless fi gures show Frankston and the southern peninsula are two the countrys worst affected regions, with unemployment hitting as much as 8.2 per cent compared to a national rate of 6.4 per cent, while .

And rapidly rising unemployment is only half the story it is also taking people much longer time to fi nd work, with the average duration of jobseeker registration now 25 months.

The overall jobless rate for the combined Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region climbed to 7.1 per cent in July, on par with the state-wide average.

However, Australian Bureau of Statistics fi g-ures show the situation is far worse within cer-tain areas of the region, with the jobless rate in Frankstons central, north and western regions more than double that of other zones.

ABS data shows unemployment in the western region of Frankston had climbed to 8.2 per cent, compared to 5.9 per cent in the citys east, while the rate for the north western sector of the pen-insula was just 3.2 per cent compared to 7.1 per cent for the southern peninsula.

Welfare agencies fear residents within these pockets of poverty will face a growing struggle fi nding secure work due to an ever shrinking sup-ply of low and semi-skilled jobs.

Low-income families will also be particularly hard hit by welfare cuts and tough new Centre-link payment qualifi cation rules.

Welfare groups say they are already struggling to keep up with demand and wont be able to bridge the gap caused welfare cuts, such as the axing on the Schoolkids Bonus and Family Tax Benefi t B and forcing single parents off the pen-sion when their youngest child reach six.

Of particular alarm is the situation confronting

young people, with youths not only facing unem-ployment rates of almost double that of older res-idents, but also having to content with tough new Centrelink regimes, including having to apply for 40 jobs a month and being cut off payments alto-gether for six months at a time.

The Victorian Council of Social Service said the worsening unemployment rate was alarm-ing and warned community organisations were not able to keep up.

Community sector organisations are already stretched beyond capacity delivering basic emer-gency fi nancial relief to thousands of Victorians who thought they would never need it, VCOSS CEO Emma King said.

The effects of prolonged high unemployment on the community was likely to be profound, she said. Unless we bring together community, business and government to develop a compre-hensive workforce participation plan and begin to re-orient our economic development towards employment-intensive growth, the effects on our community will be devastating.

One of the regions leading community ser-vice providers, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, warned of a generational crisis created by long-term youth unemployment.

For young people caught up in this jobless spi-ral this can be a road to long-term poverty and reliance on welfare, Brotherhood of St Laurence executive director Tony Nicholson said.

'We know youth unemployment has a pro-foundly scarring effect on young people that will hurt their life chances, including the prospect of even holding down a job further down the track.

Business leaders agreed, warning urgent gov-ernment action was needed to address growing unemployment.

Recently appointed Business Council of Aus-tralia president Catherine Livingstone said youth unemployment was one of the greatest national priorities for government and business to tackle.

STONEMASONS Bruce McComb and son Lachlan have won praise for their high stand-ard trade skills at the Sorrento Golf Club and for restoring the Fenton Grave at Mornington Cemetery.

And Conservation and Landscape Manage-ment student Sean Edwards, of education provider Franklyn Scholar, received a sustain-ability/greening of a heritage place award for environmental works at Endeavour Fern Gully, Red Hill.

The three received their 2014 Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards from Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi and National Trust Board chairman Dr Graeme Blackman OAM last week.

Preserving the skills needed to restore and re-tain buildings of heritage signifi cance, especially the craft of stonemasonry, well into the future is important, Cr Celi said.

The craftsmanship of Bruce and Lachlan shows how passing on these skills from father to son ensures that this specialised work continues to be available for carrying out heritage works in a professional way.

The awards recognise those who have dem-onstrated excellence in retention, restoration and reuse of heritage places on the Mornington Peninsula.

I congratulate all of the nominees and the winners of the 2014 Awards, and am impressed with the projects and the dedication and special-ist skills of the people involved with preserving our heritage on the Mornington Peninsula.

The shire has recently completed a review of heritage places in the Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha.

National Trust Mornington Peninsula president Judy Walsh said this years awards were remark-able in their diversity. Its very rewarding to see the younger generation involved in heritage conservation in its various aspects including buildings, landscapes, cemeteries, gardens and objects, she said.

Get out and visit these fantastic projects around the peninsula, and see the hard work and skilled craftsmanship thats made these projects something our community can be proud of.

Other award winners were: Restoration of a heritage place: St John the

Evangelist Anglican Church Flinders extensive conservation works to church building.

Heritage interpretive signage: Mornington & District Historical Society football disaster me-morial signage, The Esplanade, Mornington, and new interpretive signage at Fenton Grave.

Sustainability/greening of a heritage place: BERG (Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group) in recognition of heritage conservation and associ-ated environmental and educational work.

Creative reuse of a heritage place: Merricks general store for transforming its 1920s building into a modern restaurant while retaining the character and fabric of the original building; also Rosebud Pet Vet for creative reuse of a post war residence into a modern veterinary surgery while retaining the integrity of the original building.

Specialist heritage trade skills: Michael James, stone mason, at Sorrento Golf Club.

Individual award: Sally Robins, Mornington Peninsula Shire local history network coordina-tor, for the concept and production of the Herit-age Trail brochure.

FAMILY carers at the Balancing the Scales dis-ability forum in Mornington were concerned that the National Disability Insurance Scheme wont help them before they die.

The ground-breaking NDIS reforms of June 2013 were designed to provide support for the 410,000 people with a signifi cant disability - or who acquire one in their lifetime - by 2020.

But the length of time it is taking to implement its reforms with many peninsula families in their late 70s and 80s-plus caring for children in their late 40s and 50s and with some caring for a spouse as well means their future is not bright.

Theres hope for the future for the lucky few in NDIS trial sites, but fear for other families who are parked on crisis waiting lists for essential support, Community Lifestyle Accommodation secretary Marie Hell said. The important question is, what will happen before the full roll out of the NDIS to alleviate the struggle that caring families are going through to support a family member with a mental illness and a signifi cant intellectually dis-ability in Victoria?

Keynote speaker at the forum was Bruce Bony-hady, chair of the National Disability Insurance Agency. He told 200 guests at the Peninsula Com-munity Theatre on 31 July that: The main aim of the NDIS was to provide reasonable and necessary support to people with disabilities - whether they have intellectual, physi-cal or mental disabilities - to enable them and their families to build ordinary lives and be part of their communities, and The agency is encouraging partnerships with groups to meet the urgent demand for housing, and that a housing paper would be released by NDIA soon, with the full roll out of the scheme in 2019-2020.

The forum was organised by carer groups Com-munity Lifestyle Accommodation, Peninsula Carer

Council supported by Carers Victoria, Common-wealth Respite and Carelink Centre, After-Care and Hill Legal. It was opened by Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi.

Carers and service providers from 54 organisa-tions, politicians and community discussed the need to work towards meeting the enormous chal-lenges facing people with disability, people with a mental illness and their carers. Carers highlighted the urgent need to address defi cits in long term sup-ported accommodation for older children of ageing carers, and the chronic shortage of good quality ac-commodation for those with a disability and mental illness. It is known that many homeless prefer to sleep rough to avoid the challenges of rooming house accommodation.

Many parents and carers of disabled or mentally ill adult children would go to any lengths to keep them off the streets or in boarding houses. Other points raised by carers were the lack of account-ability by some service providers; that more trained staff are required to support people with mental illness and disability; that more support is needed for carers who feel abandoned by the system, and that there is a need for service providers to support carer families working with those with a disability or mental health challenge.

How many more people with a mental illness on the peninsula have to take their own life, leav-ing family and friends shattered? Do our leaders care? secretary of the Peninsula Carer Council Aline Burgess said. Adding that she could not get a straight answer.

How many ageing carers have to live in fear of dying, not being able to place their loved one in a caring environment before they die? Are they not entitled to enjoy their twilight years?

Ms Hell said older carers were asking: Will old-er families be driven to murder/suicide as reported in the Productivity Commissions report 2011?
