Murray Road land up for grabs A large block of community-owned land in Murray Road will be sold to private interests, following a unanimous vote by Queenscliffe councillors. The decision, made at last month's Council meeting, is set to reap more than $2 million for the Borough of Queenscliffe to re-invest in other projects that \"generate additional revenue streams.\" Council would not be drawn on how revenue derviced from the sale would be spent. The land, measuring around 9500 square metres, already has planning approval for a 13- lot housing subdivision.

Youth mental health push A new campaign has been launched to provide youth mental health services on the Bellarine. Bellarine Community Health is leading a push for a dedicated Headspace facility, amid a worrying increase in suicides and youth depression. Figures show there were 53 deaths to suicide within the Corangamite electorate between 2014 and 16. Headspace Geelong is currently providing a limited service from its Drysdale facility, but is calling for a dedicated Bellarine service to meet the region’s population growth.   Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson said she was lobbying hard for a slice of $1.45 billion, recently announced by her government for support services through the Western Victoria Primary Healthcare Network (PHN).    “With the population growth across the  Bellarine  Peninsula, a stand- alone headspace facility is required,” Ms Henderson said. “This is such a big issue. As a community, we must do all we can to combat mental illness. I welcome any suggestions, ideas or feedback on how governments at all levels can do a better job at supporting young people during what can be a Kev’s Window, Door andvery vulnerable time in their lives.  hGeallathzfionrugmsSaet: rvice Servicing the Bellarine Ms Henderson will host two youth mental • Springdale NeigOhbUoRurhSoEoRdVCIeCnEtrSe,I1N7C-2L1UHDigEh:St Drysdale on Rusty’s Repairs and Home Maintenace Tuesŏdagyla5ssMreaprcahirs2ŏ01g9lafzroinmg 6&:0m0iprrmor-s7ŏ:00slpidminagnddoor rollers • Shŏeltl rRacdkRs &esloecrvkes ŏPapveitliodno,oSrshienllgRladssOŏceshaonwGerrosvcereoennWreepdainres sday 0418 330 188 Andy Russell 6 Marchŏ2re0p1a9irfsrotoms6ec:0u0riptmy d-7o:o0r0sp, fmly. doors and flyscreens Sports funding up for grabsŏsash cord replacement ŏwindows re-puttied ŏwindow winders Kevin SmithLocal sporting clubs and community organisations are being encouraged to seek a share of a $28.9 mMiloliobnilpeo: o0l4o1f 8fu5nd1i9n0g7o8n offer to help promote Home Repairs exercise. www.bwdgs.com.au Lawn Mowing and gardening [email protected] The federal Sport Participation Grants program aims to make a genuine Seasonal maintenance impact on the leQvuealloiffieadctGivlaitzyieirn*cNoomjombutnoiotisems.all * FREE quotes Pressure Cleaning National, sSteartveicianngdQuloeecnaslclieffv,ePloionrtgLaonsidsalteio&ntshecaBnellaapripnelyPefnoirnsfuulna ding for Rubbish runs activities that target all ages and abilities.
