The in-house team was awarded the contract at the February Council meeting, succeeding against three other bids. This included two companies who have won parks and gardens contracts in neighbouring municipalities. Serco Australia is the contractor for Melbourne and Kingston, while New Zealand company Manakau looks after Stonoington and Bayside. The decision came after two months of detailed ev~luation. An important part of the inhouse bid's success was the ability to work as a team and improve a number of work practices, and to ensure the team was cost effective and able to provide excellent service to meet the identified needs of the Glen Eira community. Acting chief executive Vm McKay said: "While it is pleasing to see the inhouse ream win the bid, it is even more plea.sing to know that the City of Glen Eira's parks will be maintained at higher standards and reduced costs as a result ofthis process. In this respect, the real winners are the residents of Glen Eira."

  • Sub-4 Register 2021
    The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1663 athletes as of April 13, 2021) WITHIN A YEAR of the death of the first sub-4:00 miler, Sir Roger Bannister, at the age of 88, the total number of athletes who have broken through the once historic barrier was already past 1550, and no country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-4 mile than the USA. Even during the COVID-ravaged year of ’21 there were 51 men who broke 4:00 indoors, of which 32 were Americans. Outdoors in ’20 there were 33 who enterprisingly did so in Australia, Great Britain, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Switzerland and, of course, the USA. The total of US sub-4 milers is now 594, far ahead of Great Britain’s 215 and Kenya’s 152, with no other country yet nearing 100. The year ’21 has very soon passed another landmark, as Nick Willis, of New Zealand, has broken 4:00 for a record 19th successive year. The previous best of 18 was held by his countryman John Walker, but Steve Scott of the USA, is still the most prolific sub-4 miler in history, with 137 such times to his credit. Elsewhere, even the distant past has eventually yielded its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later! Bulgaria remains something of a mystery because another sub-four minute mile by a Bulgarian in ’92 (no venue or exact date) has only recently been caught up with! There are now 19 sets of brothers, including 5 sets of twins, and 11 sets of fathers and sons who have broken 4:00.
