Carols to take over Chelsea STAGE legends Lucy Durack and Rob Mills are set to headline the free Carols by Kingston show this weekend. Carols by Kingston will take place at Bicentennial Park in Chelsea on Sunday. Durack and Mills will be joined on the setlist by Bobby Fox, the Australian Girls Choir, the Mordialloc Jazz Orchestra, and the event’s MC Rhonda Burchmore. The performances will be complemented by fireworks, food, craft activities, face painting, and an appearance from Santa. Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns said “despite some gumboot weather last year, we still had a great crowd along, singing and dancing to our favourite festive tunes - including my favourite, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.” “After a big year, taking a moment out and coming together as a community is what we hope will fill your cup back up. Bring your big voices, we’ll bring the fun and let’s celebrate together,” she said . Carols by Kingston takes place from 6pm to 9.30pm on Sunday 10 December at Bicentennial Park in Chelsea. The event is free but seating can be reserved from $20 at kingston.vic.gov.au/ community/events/upcoming-events/ carols-by-kingston.
Plan forms for disability future KINGSTON Council has drafted a plan to create a more accessible area for people living with disabilities. Council’s four-year “all-abilities action plan” outlines 31 actions which can be taken to create better outcomes for people with disabilities. They include increasing the number of people with disabilities employed by council, the establishment of a disability access and inclusion consultative forum, a focus on universal design principles in all infrastructure projects, and work with local businesses. Kingston mayor Jenna DaveyBurns said that 16 people with disabilities contributed to the plan. “The courageous, passionate, and forthright contributions of our lived experience team have gifted us a very real and honest plan,” DaveyBurns said. “Vitally the team’s various backgrounds within the local community have ensured there were many and varied opportunities for local people to have an input. Careful consultation has given a voice to people living with all forms of disability, including those with more severe or profound disability who often experience paternalistic and disempowering approaches to design.” The plan is in its draft form and is subject to community consultation, which is open until 5 February.
