Sex bars banned near family homes in Elsternwick
by Keith Moor

ECSTATIC residents have won separate victories over a strip club businessman and a banned brothel owner.

They have just stopped John Trimble and Graham Harvey from opening neighbouring sex-related bars near family homes in Elsternwick.

Sex industry magnate Mr Trimble changed his name from Trimbole and Harvey was banned from operating brothels in Victoria after being convicted of child prostitution offences.

Mr Trimble, 62, is the nephew of the late Italian organised crime czar Robert Trimbole, who was one of Australia’s biggest marijuana and heroin dealers during the 1970s and ’80s.

Mr Trimble had applied for a liquor licence for the building next door to the Daily Planet brothel in Horne St, Elsternwick.

He is the chief executive of Planet Platinum, which owns the $5 million Daily Planet site and runs the Showgirls Bar 20 table-top dancing club in King St, Melbourne.
