This would not be possible without the work of the Department of Health Environment and Climate Action, and Melbourne Water Monitoring is regularly conducted to make sure vector carriers like the African Yellow Fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) that are present in most tropical/subtropical countries of the world do not end up in Melbourne We monitor the wetlands monthly starting around August each year and continuing during the warmer months until the seasonal conditions no longer favour mosquito development. Rain patterns make habitat more available with extra water inundating areas that haven’t been wet in a few years larvacite briquettes are distributed in the wetlands The briquettes mimic the juvenile mosquito hormone and disrupt the development of larvae and pupae in the water Numerous small pools and puddles are visible across the wetland Based on the September 2024 monitoring results no treatment has been recommended for this month The next round of mosquito larvae and adult monitoring will occur in late-October Very low numbers of adults at all three of the trapping locations which isn't unusual at this time of year as we're moving into the colder months During the larval survey we found that water levels have increased across the wetland following the rain we've seen throughout the month this has seen an increase in larval numbers in several locations which will require treatment water levels across the wetland have dropped There were low abundances of adult mosquitoes at all three sites A total of 14 locations were surveyed for mosquito larvae around the wetland There were no mosquito larvae found at any of the locations and six of these locations around the margins of the wetland were dry We only completed adult trapping at this visit and noted the abundance of adults to be high at 2 of the 3 sites occasional high rainfall has maintained some pools on the margins of the wetland which can provide habitat for mosquito larvae Two locations were highlighted for larval treatment Given recent rainfall there are still numerous small shallow puddles amongst vegetation around the periphery of the wetland There are likely similar puddles outside the boundaries of the wetland as well and these could also potentially be contributing to mosquito numbers around the area The first sampling event for the 2023-24 season Adults and larvae numbers were both fairly low Treatment was recommended and undertaken at 7 locations Mosquito larvae and pupae were found at 11 of the 13 locations surveyed Larval abundances ranged from high to extreme High to very high numbers of adults were found this month with a total of 3,050 female mosquitoes collected across the three traps This is a substantial increase compared with October monitoring where only 46 adult females were collected The significant rise in numbers in November is likely caused by the weather with individuals maturing in the numerous shallow puddles around the wetland Higher temperatures have also likely contributed to in the increase in adult mosquitoes Several large sites located to the east of the wetland were identified as needing treatment Adult abundance was low. Larval sampling was not undertaken. Treatment was not recommended for any site Low to extreme numbers of larvae were found in the wetlands Briquette treatment was applied to the areas identified to stop larvae developing into adults Please note that high numbers of biting midges were found particular at the Seaford North Primary School Unfortunately there is no known efficient methods of controlling them Moderate to high numbers of adults were found but low number of larvae in the wetland Larvae monitoring will be carried out next month No additional treatment is recommended at this time Very high-high numbers of larvae were found in areas of the wetlands Adult numbers were lower than in the previous month High numbers of larvae were found in areas of the wetlands Very high numbers of larvae were found in areas of the wetlands You can protect yourself from mosquitos by: For further information and advice, visit the Victorian Government’s Better health - beat the bite webpage contact us online buying up to half homes listed in some Melbourne pocketsNathan Mawby sold to a Sydney-based investor at auction Interstate investors are “blitzing” Melbourne’s affordable auction market with suggestions they are buying up to half the homes going under the hammer in some areas and price ranges A Seaford home sold more than $130,000 above expectations for $782,000 had eight buyers bidding for it yesterday many from Sydney bidding via proxies — including the buyer are reporting rising interest from interstate RELATED: Melbourne house values notch biggest growth in Australia, first time since 2020 20 Melbourne suburbs that have bottomed out, now positioned for best price growth Mulgrave home spruiked by Hollywood star Liam Neeson to go under the hammer O’Brien Frankston’s Mark Burke said there had been 19 bidders registered for 10 Hummerstone Rd listed by a pair of brothers after the passing of their father “They seem to be blitzing it,” Mr Burke said they have come out of the woodwork like ants and with this property alone I reckon I had 11 calls from advocates it was on the market after a $650,000 first bid just above the $649,000 top of its expected sale range — and the home’s $560,000 reserve price set by the brothers who “just wanted it sold” Cracked glazing and patched walls had been expected to make the bathroom a turn off for some buyers but many still pursued the home at auction Strong bidding continued and money from Sydney drove the end result made all the more remarkable by the home’s need for renovations in the kitchen and bathroom Mr Burke added that in the Frankston and Seaford area he works in for homes under $850,000 an interstate investor was winning “five times out of 10” Buyer’s agent Andre Pereira is also increasingly hearing from Sydney-based investors eyeing Melbourne’s south east “Some will find out that the area can have a reputation but others are saying it doesn’t make sense that it’s so cheap to buy in these locations,” Mr Pereira said sold to another Sydney-based investor recently Ray White Gladstone Park’s Phillip Mercieca has also encountered a growing Sydney buyer cohort both were bidding sight unseen,” Mr Mercieca said “There are certain properties where we are seeing investors that are from interstate and the first home buyers can’t compete with their budgets in some cases.” But the agent said $800,000 seemed to be the cap Sign up to the Herald Sun Weekly Real Estate Update.

Fantastic conditions awaited participants at Seaford Beach parkrun this morning, setting the perfect scene for another wonderful event. A soft, cooling breeze drifted along the coast, just enough to refresh but not to hinder, while the bright sun climbed steadily into the sky, glistening off the gentle waves. The combination of clear blue skies, cool temperatures and sparkling sea created an almost postcard-perfect backdrop for runners, joggers, walkers and volunteers alike. The pre-run briefing soon began, gathering the excited crowd together on the promenade. Runners listened attentively as all the key points for the day’s event were covered, outlining the course, safety reminders, and of course, highlighting some very special moments we were about to celebrate. A huge round of applause then rippled through the crowd as we gave a well-deserved shout-out to our volunteers. Without their incredible support, from setting up and marshalling to timekeeping and barcode scanning, parkrun simply wouldn’t happen each week. Their energy, commitment and friendly smiles create the heartbeat of Seaford Beach parkrun, and they deserved every bit of the warm appreciation they received. This morning also saw us celebrate some truly impressive milestones, recognising the amazing contributions of two of our regular volunteers. Lou reached a phenomenal 200 volunteer credits, a milestone that reflects an extraordinary level of dedication and countless hours of giving back to our parkrun community. Meanwhile, Darren was celebrated for earning his 150th volunteer credit, another amazing achievement showing just how vital our volunteer teams are in keeping parkrun running smoothly. While there were no additional running milestones today, the focus turned to something equally exciting — pacer day! With so many pacers out on the course today, and with conditions as favourable as they were, it felt like the perfect opportunity to chase down a PB. Whether participants were hunting for a new personal record or just looking to enjoy a steadier, supported run, today’s atmosphere was buzzing with potential. Before we set off, there was one final and important reminder: please, please return your finish tokens after you cross the line! These little tokens are vital for logging your result and making sure everyone gets their rightful time. They aren’t souvenirs, they’re a shared part of the event and we need them back every week to keep things running smoothly for everyone. Shortly after the clock struck 9:00am, the countdown was called out with enthusiasm, and just like that, we were off! Hundreds of trainers hit the promenade, accompanied by an excited energy that filled the air. Smiles, laughter and the sound of steady footsteps created the unmistakable soundtrack of another Seaford Beach parkrun getting underway. The wonderful running conditions helped lift everyone’s spirits as they made their way along the promenade, flanked on one side by the glistening sea and on the other by the friendly waves and encouragement from the marshals. The flat course, the cooling breeze and the sunshine all combined to make every step feel that little bit easier. As participants approached the historic Martello Tower, the halfway marker was nearly in sight, and the cheers grew louder. There’s always something special about reaching the Martello — it’s a visual reminder that you’re making great progress, and today, with the sun overhead and the community atmosphere in full flow, it felt even more significant. Continuing onwards, participants pushed toward the turnaround point, where a quick loop back meant they were now on the return leg, just 2.5km away from completing another parkrun. The encouragement from the marshals and pacers at this point was fantastic, providing an extra surge of energy for those tackling the second half of the course. Once again passing the Martello Tower on the return journey, the finish line could almost be glimpsed on the horizon. Although a little distance still remained, the knowledge that the end was near, combined with the positive energy from marshals and fellow runners, kept motivation high. The atmosphere was electric and you couldn’t help but feel lifted by it. As the participants pressed on toward the finisher funnel, the atmosphere of the day continued to shine through. That slightly brisk, cool wind continued to refresh, helping to fend off any fatigue and allowing runners, joggers and walkers to maintain their rhythm all the way to the line. The smiles, encouragement and shared determination made it a truly special morning. With every passing step, the finisher funnel grew closer, and the final sprint, jog or happy stroll towards the line began. Crossing the finish line today brought a real sense of achievement; another parkrun complete, another Saturday morning made memorable and another opportunity to be part of something wonderful at Seaford Beach. A heartfelt thank you must go to our incredible organisers, volunteers and marshals who work so hard to bring us our weekly dose of parkrun magic. From setting up the course to recording our times and cheering us home, your behind-the-scenes efforts are vital, and we are truly grateful for all the hard work you put in week after week. A special well done must also go to our fantastic pacer team, who were out in force today helping participants hit their target times or achieve their PB dreams. Whether you were running with a goal in mind or simply enjoying the support of running alongside someone at a particular pace, the pacer team made a huge difference to many people’s mornings. Finally, a huge congratulations to every single person who made their way to Seaford Beach today. Whether you ran, jogged, walked, volunteered, spectated or cheered, you played a part in making today’s event the success that it was. You are what makes this parkrun community so special. Congratulations once again to everyone — enjoy the rest of your weekend, take pride in your achievements, and we can’t wait to see you back at Seaford Beach very soon for another fantastic morning by the sea! © parkrun Limited (Company Number: 07289574) No part of this site may be reproduced in whole or in part in any manner without the permission of the copyright owner.

rival Seaford United at North Seaford Reserve Neither side was at full strength in this all-action affair but that took nothing away from a great spectacle in front of a large crowd.Seaford keeper Hayden Hicks left the senior squad the night before the game Michael Nobbs and Nathan Meade were holidaying while Wisey Barakzoi and Sam Luxford were injured For the first time in Logan Johnston’s short senior career the youngster joined experienced Paul Aitchison in a makeshift central defensive unit in front of new first-choice keeper Alfonso Cardinale.Rosebud was without Dave Greening who was competing in an international masters athletics meet in Fiji while Nathan Yole and Frank Barrett were overseas That left Mark Pagliarulo to fly the flag up front flanked by the pace and guile of Caleb Davies on the right and Davis Markulin on the left In the 24th minute Seaford struck the opening blow.Rosh Livera drove in a teasing cross that Naseer Mohammad headed on and Josh Vega reacted quickly to head in past Rosebud keeper Colin McCormack from close range.|McCormack was the busier of the two keepers in the first half and in the 34th minute outstanding Seaford midfielder Backy Barakzoi forced the Rosebud custodian into a point-blank parry from a tight angle on the left In the 42nd minute the first real threat to the Seaford goal came from Rosebud midfielder Jhai Watts who whipped in a firm curling free-kick across the defence and threatening to sneak in at the far post until Cardinale tipped the ball wide at full stretch But three minutes later Cardinale charged off his line and grabbed the ball in both hands while clattering into two players The ball jarred loose eventually setting up Pagliarulo for a tap-in and an unlikely equaliser right on half-time.The second half was just six minutes old when the timing and athleticism of Davis Markulin had a major bearing on the outcome Cardinale didn’t react quickly enough as a high floating cross came over from the right but Markulin had read the flight perfectly rising high to head home before Cardinale could get there Five minutes later Seaford should have levelled Referee Con Alba pointed to the spot after Davies handled inside the area.Seaford striker Blake Hicks watched in disbelief as his first attempt to convert was saved by McCormack and Hicks sent the rebound into orbit In the 82nd minute the tireless Barakzoi played in Johnston but he couldn’t connect cleanly and McCormack blocked then gathered but the miss of the match came two minutes later Hicks was on the right when he sent over an inch-perfect cross and with the goal at his mercy Mohammad somehow headed wide That was Seaford’s last chance to grab a point leaving table-topping Rosebud to celebrate a crucial win in an intriguing championship chase.In other State 5 games Mount Eliza had a fine 5-2 away win over Pakenham United with goals from Ray Amiri (2) Cohan King and Austin McEwen while Aspendale strolled to a 5-0 away win over Endeavour Hills Fire.Aspendale got off to a flier in the second minute through captain Matthew Bruce who finished a slick interpassing move involving Gianluca Bozzo and Dom Paul.But it was in the second half that the visitors did the most damage Bruce pounced on a defensive error in the 46th minute then squared the ball to Paul who made it 2-0 from just inside the box In the 62nd minute Taylan Yidirim’s measured cross set up Bozzo who stabbed the ball home to make it 3-0 and the first of substitute Koray Yildirim’s double came in the 73rd minute when the ball was squared to him for an easy finish His second goal came in the 86th minute when he gained possession inside the area then rounded Endeavour keeper Josh Permal before sliding the ball home from a tight angle.Mount Martha lost 3-1 away to FC Noble Hurricanes with Daniel Bancroft scoring for the visitors The scoreline flattered the home side and was aided by a penalty in injury time that led to the second caution and sending off of Mount Martha captain Adam Steele Mount Martha senior assistant Charlie Platt claimed that Steele asked the referee what the penalty was for and this was interpreted as dissent.In VPL1 Langwarrin won its first game at Lawton Park since February when it defeated George Cross 3-2 on Friday night which is symptomatic of an unusual amount of away fixtures rather than poor form Langy striker Archie Macphee gave the home side a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute when he deftly angled a low cross from the right past Georgies keeper Aydin Sayan.In the 36th minute Langy captain Rogan McGeorge intercepted a pass in midfield then sent Brad Blumenthal down the right Blumenthal’s cutback found Macphee who took a touch then hit a low right-foot shot past Sayan to make it 2-0 George Cross hit back in controversial fashion in the 44th minute He laid it off to James Kelly who sent Takahashi scooting down the left His angled run was matched by a Taylan Geylan through ball but Musso’s first-time shot was saved by Hampton keeper Bernie Paris who flung out a leg and blocked.Skye United lost 1-0 away to Bentleigh United Cobras on Saturday and is embroiled in a relegation battle in second-bottom spot on the table.In State 3 news Frankston Pines remains winless and last in the league six points behind second-bottom Elwood City who beat Pines 3-2 at Monterey Reserve last Friday night Mathieu Mahindo and Reshad Nahimzada scored for Pines.In State 4 news a second-half blitz saw Baxter overrun Keysborough in a 5-2 victory at Baxter Park on Saturday with striker Jack Elliott stealing the plaudits with a four-goal haul Daniel Taylor was Baxter’s other goalscorer.Head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor signed Fijian international Anish Khem late last week.Khem is a former Suva and Rewa winger or full-back who has played for Fiji at full international and under-23 levels Khem first hit the Victorian scene in February last year when he signed for Frankston Pines.Chelsea blew a two-goal lead when drawing 2-2 with visitor Springvale City on Saturday Adam Bartosy scored for Chelsea.Monash University maintained its title push with a come-from-behind 4-3 win over Somerville Eagles at Monash last weekend A Howie Anderson volley and a Conor Mcfall shot from the edge of the box had the Eagles 2-1 up at half-time but Monash emphasised its title credentials with a second-half onslaught that proved too much for the visitors.Monash stormed to a 4-2 lead before Tom Simmons was brought down inside the area and Mcfall converted.Mentone lost 2-1 away to promotion hopeful Endeavour United at Reema Reserve on Saturday The visitors had the worst possible start conceding in the first minute when Endeavour skipper Dario Maia’s pace got him past Cameron Ironside and Mentone keeper Quinn Carter before finishing well.Mentone responded almost immediately equalising four minutes later after excellent interpassing ended with striker Marcus Spivey taking a touch before arrowing a fine low shot past home team custodian Christian Morales Despite Mentone having the majority of the play it was the home side that went in front after 33 minutes when Maia’s cut back found Dejan Radojicic who bundled the ball home Mentone’s Tyler Pollard hit the bar before half-time with Endeavour’s defence holding firm in the second half to secure the win.Next weekend is a catch-up round throughout the State Leagues and with no local club in action the only show in town is the VPL1 clash at Lawton Park on Saturday with home side Langwarrin expecting a large attendance First
