AG Peter Rawlings then spoke about the Peninsula Bay Trail. This Cluster Group Project is being done in conjunction with the Shire of Mornington Council, who are strongly behind the project. Council have set up a major project team. The trail will be over 100 km. The focus on the project will be the flora, fauna and heritage.
From previous weeks Bulletin.
There is a lot happening with the Rotary Peninsula Cluster and our Council to progress the Peninsula (Bay) Trail as the combined Rotary Australia Centenary Project. Council has prioritised its development, and committed $.5m in this year’s Budget to the Peninsula Trail, including the appointment of a person to lead in its development. Most of the eight Peninsula clubs have identified their initial local projects, mainly rest stops with associated vegetation and landscaping. Mt.Martha Rotary Club has been successful in winning $9000 of Federal Government Funding towards their project. The Cluster has applied for a Rotary Centenary Grant on behalf of all eight clubs. With the Rotary branding being adopted as part of the Peninsula Trail branding, and as we all start to appreciate the scale of the Peninsula Trail and the potential benefit to our local community, there is plenty of reason to think there will be plenty of benefit for the next 100 years!
