RECENT landslips at Olivers Hill need attention, Frankston Council says.
A landslip in McCrae last month resulted in the destruction of a home, and forced residents to evacuate. A Mornington Peninsula Shire worker was injured.
A motion moved by councillor Nathan Butler at last week’s Frankston Council meeting read that there had been “recent instances of land slippage at Olivers Hill, including the coastal cliffs up from the Olivers Hill boat ramp and on private allotments.” Frankston councillors agreed to write to VicRoads, which is responsible for the retaining walls along Nepean Highway, and other relevant agencies to request a briefing of its responsibilities and accountabilities at Olivers Hill.
Frankston Council officers will work on a report before the March council meeting outlining potential safety improvements at Olivers Hill.
