A UNIQUE community partnership has delivered a brand-new purpose-built studio for Radio Western Port, empowering local voices across the Mornington Peninsula through live shows and on-demand podcasts.
The initiative was made possible by Mornington Peninsula Shire awarding a $34,000 grant to Western Port Secondary College, which joined forces with Atticus Health to bring the project to life. Together, they’ve created a professional broadcasting space now home to Radio Western Port — an internet-based station dedicated to sharing local stories, ideas, and perspectives.
“We’re all about community, connection and giving locals a voice,” said Dr Floyd Gomes, founder of Atticus Health. “This new studio is more than a space — it’s a shared investment in communication, creativity, and regional identity.”
The studio currently hosts 11 ongoing shows, featuring a diverse mix of voices and topics that reflect the character and interests of the Western Port community. From fishing reports and health chats to school-led programs and personal storytelling, Radio Western Port celebrates the people and passions of the region.
