Outdoor gym hits roadblock HOME MAINTENANCE Plans for an outdoor gymnasium in the Borough have suffered a Including • BATHROOMS temporary setback, after the Department of Environment, Land, Water • KITCHENS and Planning (DELWP) refused to grant consent for fitness equipment on the Point Lonsdale foreshore. Grant Rogers - Point Lonsdale PH: 0438 261954 In a letter sent to the Rotary Club of Queenscliffe - the group responsible for the project - the Department’s Barwon South West Massage Therapist regional director Colleen White said the current proposal did not meet the requirements of the Victorian Coastal Strategy because it Petrina Blair-Tierney was not coastal dependent and was posed a potential safety risk from Remedial/Sports/Relaxation/TMJ “overtopping in storms.” Ph: 0429 380 317 “To resolve these matters and to investigate locations that are not sited on the coastline, the proposal needs to be factored into the new Ct.

Health Fund Rebates Available Department officers have since met with Rotary and the Borough of POINT LONSDALE Queenscliffe to discuss alternative locations, and according to . Talks between the Department, Council and Rotary have since been held and, according to Borough CEO Martin Gill, have resulted in a plan to move forward with the gym in the new year. “We’re grateful for the support of our local MP Lisa Neville, who is providing additional assistance at this stage of the project. We hope to have an update on the project in the new year,” he said. The project was awarded $127,000 in funding after being voted most popular in the the State Government’s Pick My Project initiative. The initial plan was for 10 outdoor fitness equipment units at four stations along the Point Lonsdale foreshore and one pod of 14 units in Queenscliff’s Princess Park. Hoever, many residents and three community groups - the Point Lonsdale Civic Association, Queenscliff Community Association and Queenscliff Environment Forum - opposed the locations. “The Outdoor Gym Stations project is a great project with extensive community support,” said Rotary spokesman Peter Deacon. “We look forward to working with the Queenscliffe Council and DELWP to make it happen.” IAN WARREN BUILDER POINT LONSDALE Specialising in... •Extensions •Renovations •Decks 5258 2758 | 0418 525452 | [email protected] THE RULES AND FORMATS HAVE CHANGED FOR POWERS OF ATTORNEY Think ahead and be proactive!
