Troy and Jenni McNeish have taken over the reins of Sunland Group’s 233-townhouse luxury residential community, The Pavilions at Peregian Springs. The husband and wife management team recently relocated their family to the Sunshine Coast from Terrigal on the New South Wales Central Coast, after inking a deal with the master developer to run the luxury estate, which was built for $80 million and launched in 2015. Troy and Jenni are no strangers to managing large residential communities. For 14 years, they held management rights to High Park Tower, a 21-storey high rise with 220 apartments, 30 offices and five retail shops, located in the heart of Chatswood, New South Wales.

A social worker left in severe pain by a finger injury was forced to spend a fevered night sleeping in a fitness room at Fiona Stanley Hospital — three years after similar issues at the $2 billion facility were raised with health bosses. Claire Fisher, 45, was told she needed urgent surgery after being bitten or stung on the finger at her southern suburbs home last Wednesday as she hung out the washing. But after being treated in the emergency department and admitted to Fiona Stanley’s ward 4C, she was also told she would have to sleep in a fitness room-store room, full of trolleys, stools and an exercise bike — but little medical equipment. The mother-of-one was also given a bell to ring if she needed help, which she did when she began vomiting. But the bell could not be heard by nurses — so Ms Fisher had to search for staff to give her some pain medication. “The staff were wonderful, caring, and attentive — but I was really surprised at the room they had to put me in,” Ms Fisher said. “They seemed embarrassed at having to do it. “A nurse told me the hospital always puts people in that room … and the staff hate it.

Geelong Grammar School’s former live-in doctor has been committed to stand trial on a series of historic sex offences. David Brian Mackey, 84, fronted a committal hearing in Geelong Magistrates’ Court on allegations he indecently abused a girl and a woman during the 1970s. Magistrate Peter Mellas found there was enough evidence for 10 charges to proceed to a trial in the County Court, however five other charges were thrown out. Dr Mackey has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The Point Lonsdale man was the live-in doctor at Geelong Grammar’s Corio campus from 1964 until 1993. Before yesterday’s court hearing, he was already awaiting a County Court trial on dozens of separate indecent assault charges allegedly committed between 1968 and 1989. The alleged victims in those cases were students at Geelong Grammar during Dr Mackey’s tenure. It was not immediately clear whether the former GP will face separate trials. Dr Mackey will next appear in Melbourne County Court on January 24.
