BRING BACK OUR PORTSEA FRONT BEACH.

It's interesting what you can overhear in a local cafe. It seems a energetic community group is actively seeking members to join its campaign to bring back the Portsea front beach.

Most of Portsea's famous front beach was swept away in 2010 - just months after completion of dredging near the entrance of Port Phillip Bay.

With summer supposed to be here in a few weeks it's an ideal time to start the campaign at the height of our tourist season. We'll keep you posted.

Real Estate Identity John (Jack) Bongiorno to Ride in Honour of Late Cousin in STRIDE or RIDE Charity Event on this Sunday.

Esteemed real estate identity John Bongiorno will participate in the STRIDE OR RIDE charity event on Sunday, November 9, in an emotional tribute to his late cousin, Tony Bongiorno, who tragically passed away during the same event two years ago.

A seasoned cyclist, John Bongiorno is riding not only to challenge himself but to carry on the legacy of Tony, who was a mentor, inspiration, and the person who first introduced him to the sport over 30 years ago.

"This ride is deeply personal. Tony was the one who got me into cycling, and he was a mentor to me in so many aspects of my life," John (Jack) Bongiorno told the Real Estate Conversation this week. “To be riding this path in his memory, is an incredible honour. It will be an emotional day, but it’s a fitting way to remember a man who gave so much to others."

Tony Bongiorno, a highly respected accountant and financial planner, was remembered as a vibrant and generous personality whose mantra was to "help make people better." His sudden passing was a profound loss to his family, friends, and the wider business community.

The STRIDE OR RIDE Charity Event invites participants to cycle or walk to raise funds for The Portsea Camp's 'Making a Difference Camps', 'Vibes', and 'Journey Wellness Programs'. These initiatives provide children with opportunities to be happy, healthy, and well, building a more supportive and resilient community.

John Bongiorno is issuing a heartfelt call to action to his colleagues and peers in the real estate industry. "We are privileged in the lives that we lead. I strongly encourage all my real estate colleagues to either give extremely generously or get on a bike and get involved. Every contribution makes a profound difference."
