Annual Report 2016–2017
The electrification to Baxter would allow for significant improvements to local public transport networks and have flow-on benefits. Council continues to encourage the Victorian Government to consider moving train stabling facilities to Baxter rather than Kananook, to help save over 200 local jobs.

Frankston Blessing of the Waters Sand sculptures return to Greek Festival of the Epiphany Frankston Waterfront All welcome at the Frankston Waterfront to celebrate the annual Blessing of the Waters on Saturday 6 January 2018. Organised by the Greek Orthodox Community of Frankston and Peninsula to coincide with Epiphany Day, the event is one of the most important on the Greek community’s calendar.

Preparing for the fire season Experts are predicting an above normal fire season for central and eastern parts of Victoria, which includes Frankston City. With summer approaching it is time to prepare your property. Start by ensuring long grass is cut and leaf litter is removed from the ground and in gutters. The Country Fire Authority (CFA) website provides further information on how to prepare your property for fire. Even in suburban areas of Frankston, homes can be at risk from burning embers. As part of your year-round property maintenance, ensure fire hydrants near your property are visible by mowing around them. Do not park cars within one metre of fire hydrants. Council assists the community to prepare for the fire season through the Fire Hazard Inspection Program. The program started in October with officers inspecting properties and issuing fire prevention notices where properties pose a fire risk. Failing to comply with the notice can result in penalties and the costs of a contractor to complete the required works. Additionally, maintenance works are currently being carried out across all 52 Council-managed reserves, as well as roadside slashing. The CFA is responsible for declaring the fire danger period. This information is available on the CFA website. Visit cfa.vic.gov.au
New Community Plan You Said

Council-issued permits to burn expire on 30 November or at the onset of the fire danger period (whichever is sooner). During days of high fire danger, Council officers alongside CFA, Victoria Police and the SES patrol reserves to provide rapid response and to help prevent bushfire arson. Report suspicious activity to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. In an emergency, phone 000.

Maintaining roads and footpaths Use MyFrankston app to report issues When you see yellow lines on local roads and footpaths, this is part of Council’s regular program to assess any issues with kerbs, roads and footpaths. Council’s work crews can then easily locate the site to decide on appropriate repairs. Most repairs are completed within three days. Asset inspections are conducted every month to two years depending on risk and location, e.g. school areas are checked more frequently than zones with less traffic. A recent audit showed that 99 per cent of the local pathway network is in good repair and 95 per cent of roads meet the target condition level. Residents can help maintain a safe environment by reporting issues such as cracks in footpaths or kerbs (not driveways) greater than 25 mm.
Clean beaches for summer
Use the MyFrankston app to upload photos and identify location so Council can respond quickly, visit: frankston.vic.gov.au/MyFrankston or phone 1300 322 322.
Frankston City’s coastline is renowned as the most pristine and accessible foreshore on Port Phillip. Stretching over 11 kilometres, our long sandy beaches provide a diverse mix of coastal recreation opportunities to the local community and visitors. To keep our beaches clean throughout the year, Council uses mechanical beach cleaning equipment between Frankston and Seaford beaches. Coming into the busy summer season, mechanical beach cleaning increases to at least three times a week around popular areas including Frankston Waterfront, Frankston Yacht Club and Frankston Life Saving
Club. Mechanical beach cleaning extends along the Seaford foreshore once a fortnight. Council officers collect litter daily by hand at key sites including the boardwalks, coastal dune areas and car parks. Additional cleaning takes place when necessary on weekends, public holidays and around foreshore events, depending on the weather. Local volunteers run regular beach clean sessions including Frankston Beach Patrol 3199 and Seaford Beach Patrol 3198. Our local community plays an important part in keeping our beaches clean. Please take all rubbish with you or use the bins provided.

Sustainable City
Recycling is just one option Refuse • reduce • reuse • repurpose Around 25,000 tonnes of waste goes to landfill each year through Frankston City's kerbside garbage collection. Reducing waste is vital to creating a sustainable future. Residents are making a great effort with household recycling, but there are a few other easy ways to reduce waste.
Refuse and reduce
• Think before you buy something: do you really need it and is there another way you could meet that need? • Check for different brands that have less packaging or offer refillable options • Install a ‘no junk mail’ sign and view catalogues online
Reuse and repurpose • Switch your disposable items for reusable ones such as coffee cups, shopping bags and nappies • See if you can repair something before you replace it. If not try to find a pre-loved option • Be creative: Old clothes can be made into new bags, empty sauce bottles make drip-free pancake mix dispensers, broken furniture can become new shelves Reducing waste might seem daunting, but every action counts. Visit frankston.vic.gov.au and search ‘reduce waste’.
Looking after our wildlife Respecting all beach users Port Phillip Bay is home to a number of Australian Fur Seals. One particular seal, known as ‘Arcto’, is regularly spotted on beaches between Dromana and Chelsea, including Seaford Beach. Dedicated volunteers help monitor and protect seals like Arcto by setting up an exclusion zone and monitoring the area ensuring both the seals and the public are kept safe. Approaching seals can be dangerous. They can move quickly over short distances and have a nasty bite. Seals are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975 and it is an offence to approach within 30 metres, or to allow your dog within 50 metres while they are out of the water.
Remember to keep your dog on a lead on Frankston City beaches as required by Local Laws, and if you see a resting seal report it to one of our local wildlife rescue groups: • Animalia Wildlife Rescue 0435 822 699 • AWARE (Frankston) 0412 433 727

By Cr Colin Hampton The 833 bus route has recently been extended which significantly improves bus services to residents of Carrum Downs, Skye and Sandhurst. The improved service now continues along Thompsons Road to Carrum Train Station, connecting residents with the rail line. This means we can now travel north to the city, without first having to travel south. It is also wonderful for our young people who have a greater variety of employment options, with the bus now connecting them to major shopping centres. Thanks to local MP Sonya Kilkenny for helping make this change happen after feedback from the community. The 833 bus runs seven days a week, from 5am to 10pm weekdays and later on weekends and public holidays. Visit ptv.vic.gov.au for the timetable and route map.
Sony Kilkenny MP with Cr Colin Hampton celebrating the new improved 833 bus route
Public transport is a priority Public transport is increasingly in demand, particularly as parking becomes a greater issue throughout Melbourne. Council’s Integrated Transport Strategy makes very clear that there is a great need for improved bus services locally including better connections between suburbs, without the need to always travel through the city centre. Council liaises with the Victorian Government to encourage improvements to the local public transport network as well as the Australian Government to help fund major projects such as a future third track on the Frankston rail line. Additional bus services are one of Council’s top 12 advocacy priorities including better services to connect Frankston with the Carrum Downs industrial area, alongside upgraded bus services throughout Frankston City.

A good news story

By Cr Glenn Aitken
I recently resigned as a Victoria Police Protective Services Officer (First Class) after more than five years of employment. From working in dismal weather conditions in unglamorous railway sites to dealing with unenviable elements of society, Protective Services Officers (PSOs) are truly at the coalface when it comes to preventing crime on the public transport network. PSOs do fantastic work in protecting the public and do so with little – if any – fanfare.
Local families can enjoy three playgrounds recently upgraded in the North-West Ward. We’ve replaced the old and tired equipment and improved the landscaping and planting at each site to help provide opportunities for children of all ages to stay active and healthy. Armata Reserve Brunning Crescent, Frankston North Highlights include a meteor climbing net, froggy rocker, basket swing, junior seagull swing, slide and see-saw. Riviera Reserve Eel Race Road, Seaford In addition to a picnic table, new pathways, rock work and seating logs – the new play equipment includes a rope flying web, timber lookout platform and slide, basket swing and concord spinner. Whistlestop Reserve Dalpura Road, Frankston New playspace features monkey bars, fireman’s pole, balance beams, swing baskets, climbing equipment, slides, picnic table and bench seat.
While many residents greatly appreciate the hard waste collection which is continuing across our suburbs, people quite rightly resent rubbish sprawled all over nature strips throughout the year, consequently making our streets look like a dump. This frequently occurs after people vacate premises and leave a mountain of rubbish for Council to clean up at your (ratespayers’) expense.
Cr Bolam being sworn in as a Protective Services Officer in 2012 by then Victoria Police Commissioner Ken Lay who is being assisted by Cr Bolam’s grandfather former Senior Constable Tom Bolam.
I was fortunate in that, when the initiative was first launched in 2012, there was a good two years where I was able to ‘ply my trade’ insofar as making arrests, issuing citations and cautions, utilising search powers; and gaining exposure to conflict resolution, intelligence gathering/reporting, giving evidence in court and referring the vulnerable and needy to the right support services. I was also fortunate to have mentored and supervised many PSOs and even had the opportunity to be seconded to protective duties for two Victorian governors at Government House. Nowadays, the PSO program is more about ‘perceptions of safety’ (i.e. providing a visible uniformed presence) and crime is far less prevalent on the public transport system than it was some three years ago. The PSO program does appear to (again) be on the cusp of change with PSOs soon expected to perform daytime shifts, as well as conducting roving patrols of train carriages. These additional duties will enable PSOs to better detect and deter antisocial behaviour. In having had the experience of serving in this role, I know first-hand how intense the PSO role can be, particularly on the Frankston line – so I want to take this opportunity to thank our local PSOs at Carrum, Seaford, Kananook and Frankston railway stations who continue to do a great job protecting the Frankston public from those with criminal intent. Finally, it is worth mentioning to commuters that if you ever feel unsafe waiting for a bus, waiting for someone to pick you up or even just walking to your vehicle – the PSOs are there to assist you.

Seaford facility upgrade Due for completion in November 2017 are the new public toilets on Seaford Foreshore, Nepean Highway, next to the award-winning McCulloch Avenue boardwalk. The new facility features two unisex toilets, one accessible and one ambulant cubicle, along with a new timber walkway connection to the footpath. This is a significant improvement on the former bluestone block that was on-site and sits more comfortably within its natural environment. This will be a great benefit to beachgoers and the many recreational walkers following the Seaford Foreshore Reserve Trail.

This is now being handled by Council’s Illegally Dumped Rubbish Investigation Unit which investigates reports, notifies the offender and issues infringement notices where necessary. CCTV cameras have also been installed at illegal dumping hotspots. This approach has proved very effective. People who have reported dumped rubbish have seen it cleaned up within just three days. Startling figures show that in September alone, 118 litter investigations were conducted and 99 per cent of people involved have been identified and as a result, have been ordered to clean up their mess to avoid further action. This is a great outcome that shows the hard work being put into this issue is working. Thank you to the community for your assistance. It is only through public help that we can resolve these issues. To report illegally dumped rubbish, phone Council on 1300 322 322 or use the MyFrankston app which can be downloaded from the website, visit: frankston.vic.gov.au History Day There was a great response to the recent History Day celebration event at Frankston Arts Centre, which was very well attended. The film commissioned for the event was well done and creatively presented positive stories about why people live here, stay here and have such a strong loyalty to this city. It contained highs and some lows of Frankston’s history from 1966 to the present day, presenting a realistic portrayal. It can be viewed online, visit: frankston.vic.gov.au

Reconciliation Action Plan Road-Map
Exciting times
Council has been progressively installing new footpaths, which are helping complete a number of missing links in the pathway network, prompting a supportive response from the community. This includes a new footpath, recently completed along Seaview Road in Frankston South, that provides an important link between Overport Road and Baden Powell Drive, supporting safe access to Derinya Primary and other schools. Two new Frankston South footpaths along FrankstonFlinders Road have also improved access to bus stops, shops and services. These include 1.2 km stretch on the east side from Bartlett Street to Escarpment Drive, and the west side between Moorooduc Highway to the bus stop near Kara Street. The Lee Street footpath in Frankston was a priority and is now complete, connecting Cranbourne Road to Leawarra Parade and the Baxter trail. A section of missing footpath has also now been added outside the Peninsula Campus of Monash University. Many thanks to nearby residents and road users for their patience and cooperation while the works were underway. Delacombe Park works Council recently started works improving the cricket pavilion at Delacombe Park, Frankston South. This includes a building extension with a new public toilet and storeroom, plus a new concrete walk way connecting to nearby paths. Works should be complete during December 2017, but progress on this kind of project nearly always depends on weather conditions. The Frankston South Recreation Centre is now on Facebook Follow the Centre for updates, events, news and lots more about their great range of programs for all ages, designed to help keep us active, healthy and connected with people in our community. Community gardening Congratulations to members of Joy of the Earth Community Garden on their recent five-year celebration.

We’re currently seeing many new developments in our city centre, which combined brings a hive of activity and improvement, the likes of which we haven’t seen in Frankston for a long time. While the new Frankston Train Station project is a welcome development, continued works in the area do place pressure on local traders. Please continue to be mindful of supporting local businesses. Council’s support of city centre traders includes relief grants, outdoor dining grants, the Business As Usual campaign plus new vibrant street art to come to help attract visitors. New businesses continue to open locally, which is indicative of Frankston City’s prosperity and resident support. Transport At a recent meeting with residents, car parking was one of the main issues raised. While Council currently provides free on-street parking; timeframes are the main issue. I am currently working to review car parking in a couple of areas as I believe there’s potential for more variation. If you have specific matters of concern, please email me. Residents also continue to raise issues about local bus services – their availability and regularity – which impacts on our ability to get to work, school and other activities. I successfully took this issue to Council and improved bus services have been included in our advocacy priorities for State Government attention. Congratulations to local CFA Frankston Volunteer Firefighter of the Year Daniel Wellington
In October, I completed the ‘Do It In a Dress’ challenge for One Girl Australia to raise funds to educate girls in Africa. The challenge involves wearing a school uniform and raising awareness about the importance of education of girls. In Africa, more than 60 million girls do not have access to education. Without an education a girl can be kept in the cycle of poverty, and struggle to earn an income or look after herself and her family. A girl's income increases by at least 10 per cent for every year she stays in school. She will get married later and have a smaller, healthier family when she is ready. Her health, economic status and future family all benefit. A girl born in Sierra Leone is more likely to be a child bride than she is to attend high school. Special thanks to Council, Frankston Rotary and South East Water for their fundraising efforts, and embracing the school dress! At the time of writing enough funds have been raised to provide eight girls with an education.
It was my honour to attend CFA Frankston’s recent annual awards event which acknowledged outstanding achievers and years of service, for career and volunteer heroes in our community. Festival season I’m looking forward to attending local major events including the Frankston Christmas Festival of Lights, The Waterfront Festival featuring the Queen's Baton Relay visit, Sand Sculpting and more. We are fortunate to enjoy so many local activities that help contribute to Frankston being the Lifestyle Capital of Victoria.

The development of the RAP is the optimal way for local government to lead in the commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander reconciliation in our local area and is in line with Council’s responsibilities to serve and support Frankston City. Development of the RAP will finally bring Frankston City Council in line with all our neighbouring municipalities who have adopted reconciliation plans and policies – some of whom are developing their second plans. Frankston City, as a municipality, has the second highest population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the Southern Metropolitan Melbourne region, which reinforces the importance of planning for reconciliation for both current and future generations living locally. ‘Do It In a Dress’ for One Girl Australia

Bringing joy this Christmas Community Giving Tree
Council, in partnership with City Life, is encouraging residents to support their local community by leaving a small gift under the Community Giving Tree inside Frankston Library. Your generosity will help bring festive cheer to adults and seniors who attend the City Life Christmas Lunch, as this group is often overlooked in gift appeals. Not everyone has family or friends to celebrate with this season, so a special lunch and gift reminds them they are part of a supportive community. You could help make someone’s day by donating a practical gift to the value of
Kokoda Youth Foundation On the right track Jason and Scarlett leaving a donation under the Community Giving Tree at Frankston Library
$10, such as toiletries, scarves, shortbread or simple gift baskets. Gifts can be placed, unwrapped, under the Christmas tree at Frankston Library from Saturday 25 November until Friday 23 December.
Congratulations to the Year 9 and 10 students from six local secondary schools who recently completed a 48 km challenge as part of the ‘On The Right Track’ program supported by Council’s Youth Services. This event took 27 hours and pushed them to their physical and mental limits. Combined with skills learned in
12 weekly workshops, the program challenges negative behaviours and boosts the students’ engagement and leadership skills. The students have also been involved in community activities including Second Bite, graffiti removal, visiting residents in an aged care facility and the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance.

16 Days of Activism #ChallengeGenderStereotypes Council is proud to support the 16 Days of Activism, an international campaign to raise awareness about the impact of gender-based violence and gender inequality, which runs 25 November to 10 December.
Gender equality for a violence-free Victoria
Gender equality is critical for the community’s health and wellbeing, as well as to help prevent family violence and other forms of violence against women and girls.
In Frankston City in 2016:
• Male weekly incomes were 57% higher than females • 44.2% of females were earning below the minimum weekly wage (below $649 per week), compared to 28.4% of males • 14.4% of females were providing unpaid assistance to a person with a disability compared to 12.9% of men • 81.6% of all single parents were female • More than double the number of women aged over 75 were living alone compared to men • The number of reported family violence incidents with a female

Crime rate down in Frankston City Recent crime statistics released on 18 July 2017 by the Victorian Government show that the total crime rate in Frankston City is down by 1.6 per cent on the previous year. When further broken down by crime categories, the data continues to show positive changes. Property and deception offences are down by a total of 4.6 per cent and crimes against the person are down by a total of 2.3 per cent. Significant reductions are seen in drug dealing and trafficking, arson and sexual offenses, all showing a 10 to 30 per cent drop. The statistics also identify some areas for improvement such as property damage which shows a small increase. Council works closely with Victoria Police, Bayside Shopping Centre Security and others to help address local community safety issues. The drop in crime rates has been achieved through a variety of measures including investing in targeted crime

prevention initiatives and increasing community patrols. More than 100 permanent CCTV cameras are mounted around Frankston City, allowing both live monitoring of incidents and review by investigators as part of criminal enquiries. Each day, Protective Service Officers patrol Frankston Train Station until the last train. These measures have been successful in improving residents’ feelings of safety and security, as well as assisting Frankston Police in responding to crime.
