Kingston Your City - October 2013
Recognising
great Australians
Australia Day Awards
celebrate our local heroes who
inspire and give back to the
community.
Before we award the next round of
great local heroes, let’s revisit our 2013
Australia Day Award winners and see
what it takes to be a Kingston Citizen
and Young Citizen of the Year.
“Being Young Citizen has been a great
experience and has motivated me to
continue working with refugees,” says
Young Citizen of the Year Laura John.
At 22, Laura was nominated for a long
list of accomplishments that raised
awareness of, and support for, issues
in communities across the world.
For example, raising money to build
schools in East Timor, taking part in the
End Child Slavery Campaign and being
active as a member of the Multifaith
Multicultural Youth Network.
Whether in her capacity as Co-Captain
of Kilbreda College or member of
the Multifaith Multicultural Youth
Network, Laura has worked on
campaigns such as End Child Slavery
to building schools in East Timor.
“It has been wonderful to share
with the Kingston community my
passions and vision for our beautiful
city and country. I would encourage
community members to nominate a

New residential planning rules
Soon residents will have an opportunity to
see how new planning rules may affect their
property.
The rules are changing following a significant reform of
Victoria’s planning system by the State Government.
On 23 September, Council resolved to progress with a Planning
Scheme Amendment to implement the new rules, which
specify what you can do with your house or land, and cover
things such as extensions, building height and design. The rules
also identify where housing growth is limited, incremental and
encouraged.
As part of the Amendment process, residents will be invited to
review the use of the new rules and make a formal submission
to Council about it.
Council will provide another update when the Amendment is
ready to be released.
If you would like to be directly notified once the Amendment is
released, please subscribe to Council’s planning mailing list by
emailing
[email protected] or call 1300
653 356.

Training exercise at
Moorabbin Airport
Exercise MAC 2013, a simulated light
plane crash, will take place on Wednesday
30 October at Moorabbin Airport, run
by the Airport Emergency Management
Committee.
The field exercise is designed to examine and practice
established emergency procedures for an aircraft
incident within Moorabbin Airport operational control.
A simulation of a light plane crash involving two
airborne aircrafts will be used for the exercise. The
scenario will include a simulated fuel fire and multiple
passenger injuries or fatalities at two locations.
Emergency response and control will be tested and all
local emergency agencies will be represented including
Kingston’s Emergency Management Team.
Residents living nearby the airport will be provided with
communication in the lead up to the exercise to ensure
they are not alarmed by the emergency services using
their lights and sirens.
The exercise is scheduled to start at 10am.

Carrum Life Saving Club
to re-open in October
Nearly completed Carrum Life Saving Club
Carrum Life Saving Club
will re-open to the public in
October with bigger, better
facilities for our community.
After sustaining serious storm damage
in January 2010, Carrum Life Saving
Club began exploring options on how
to refurbish and redevelop the building.
Council in partnership with the Club
and Life Saving Victoria (LSV) worked
to develop design plans that would
not only meet Life Saving Victoria’s
‘Clubhouses of the Future Design
Guidelines’ but also future community
needs.
The approved final design features a
two storey building comprising lifesaving operational facilities, public
toilets and shared meeting space that
will be available to be booked and used
by the community ensuring year round
use of the facility.
Evesham Road Kindergarten back in operation
After commencing
construction in
January, the Evesham
Road Kindergarten
opens its doors to
parents and children
again.
The new facilities
available at Evesham Road
Kindergarten ensure an
increase in the number
of funded and unfunded
kindergarten places
available to three and
four year old children in
Kingston.
Work on the project
commenced in January
this year with an estimated
budget of $900,000. The
renovations almost
doubled the capacity of the
Kindgarten from 27 to 55.
Cheltenham is one of
the suburbs in Kingston
identified as an area of high
demand for kindergarten
services. This along with
the changes in the National
Partnership Agreement on
Early Childhood Education,
which sees the funded
kindergarten hours
Keys Road Reserve
lights up
increase to 15 hours from
10.75 hours per week and
also an increase in the staff
ratio, means additional
kindergarten places are
required.
h
The project was jointly
funded by Department
of Education and Early
Childhood Development
($300,000) and Council
($600,000).
An official opening
ceremony will take place
later in 2013.
The project coincided with Council’s
investment in the Carrum Foreshore
precinct.
Life Saving Clubs provide an important
community safety service for Kingston.
Clubs like Carrum Life Saving Club
offer educational programs like aquatic
safety, and also through volunteers,
keep the beach safe during peak season
by patrolling the shores.
The official opening of Carrum Life
Saving Club is on Saturday, 19 October
at 12.30pm and all the community is
welcome to take part in the family fun
and entertainment.
Multi-million dollar
contract awarded for
Edithvale Family and
Children’s Centre
Kingston Council, in a
major funding decision,
has awarded a $5.78
million contract to build
the Edithvale Family and
Children’s Centre.
Victorian firm, Contract Control Pty
Ltd., has been successful in their bid
for the building contract of Edithvale
Family and Children’s Centre.
The new facilities will include:
• two kindergarten rooms;
Attendees at a Cheltenham sports ground
ceremony enjoyed an illuminating
experience when a modern new lighting
system was switched on Tuesday 10
September.
Four 24-metre poles allow the new lights to illuminate
the Keys Road Reserve. Kingston Council contributed
$100,000 towards the $205,000 project. The State
Government provided $85,000 and the Moorabbin
Rams Rugby Union Club, which uses the grounds and
facilities, contributed $20,000.
State Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty
and MPs Lorraine Wreford and Elizabeth Miller
attended the 10 September ceremony alongside
Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees OAM, Cr Tamara Barth
and club representatives Ken Dowman, Ian Ray and
Crawford Wintersgill (pictured).
“The old, out of date lighting did not meet Australian
standards. We are delighted the upgrade will encourage
more participation in sport and recreation, which is a
Council priority,” said Cr Brownlees.
Cr Brownlees said members of the fast growing club
could now train and play at night. Moorabbin Rams has
Victoria’s largest junior program, with 269 registered
junior players.
Have your say!
The cost of the project was
approximately $1.6 million. The
club contributed $120,000 from the
insurance settlement caused by the
storm damage and an additional
$70,000. Life Saving Victoria
contributed $520,000 and Council
funded the balance.
Kingston Draft Aboriginal Policy and Draft Gaming Policy are open for comment
until 18 October 2013. Have your say at Kingston.vic.gov.au or phone 9581 4806.
A copy of the policies can be mailed to you.
• two long day care rooms to
accommodate relocated places from
the Lochiel Avenue care facility and
also provide extra capacity;
• two maternal and child health
consulting rooms for existing
services to relocated from Aspendale
and Aspendale Gardens; and
• a flexible shared meeting / training
space which can also be used for
play groups.
Kingston Mayor Cr Ron Brownlees
OAM said he was delighted the project
had moved a step closer for the many
families in the Edithvale, Aspendale
and Chelsea areas who were looking
forward to enjoying the modern, welldesigned facilities.
“Council wants to provide the best
possible infrastructure and services
for its residents and this major project
fulfills both these aims,” he said.
Construction will soon be underway
with the centre due to be completed
late next year, in time for a February
2015 intake for the new kindergarten
rooms.
Council has contributed $5 million to
the project with the State Government
providing a $1.5 million grant from the
Children’s Facilities Capital Program.

History and Population
Did you
know?
The lakes in the Waterways serve
as a Melbourne Water filtration
system for fresh water flowing
down from Dandenong and
Moridalloc Creeks then into Port
Phillip Bay.
Aspendale Gardens
Waterways
Aspendale Gardens is named after a successful
racehorse called ‘Aspen’.
Waterways was named to describe the area –
with a number of man-made wetlands and lakes
in the middle of the suburb. In fact Waterways is
Australia’s only suburb that is 20% parkland and
40% water.
Settlement of the area dates from the mid1800s, with land mainly used for farming. Rapid
population growth occurred in the early 1990s
and continued growth during mid-1990s.
In the last Census the population for the suburb
was 6,601.
Significant projects
Village Committee
Aspendale Gardens Sports Oval
Kingston Council has nine
Village Committees which act as
advisory committees to Council
on behalf of local communities.
These groups provide the
opportunity for appointed
residents to raise local issues
with Council.
The next meeting of the
Aspendale/Edithvale/Aspendale
Gardens/Waterways Village
Committee is on 3 October at
7.30pm. If you would like to
attend please contact Council on
9581 4651.
Settlement of the area dates from the mid1800s with land mainly used for farming and
grazing. Population was minimal until 2000
when construction of the Waterways estate
began. The population grew from 800 to 2,161
people according the last Census. Development
continues to grow and further population
increases are expected in the future.
The $350, 000 Aspendale Gardens oval project is near
completion. After the construction of the oval and
installation phase which included drainage and an irrigation
system, Council is now finishing the top dressing and seeding
in preparation for the cricket summer season.
Yammerbook Reserve
Yammerbook Reserve,
Wells Road, Aspendale Gardens
Council is currently in n
negotiations with Melbourne Water
and local community to further develop the Yammerbook
Reserve. Located on Wells Road near Mordialloc Creek in
Aspendale Gardens, the reserve offers visitors a relaxing
outlet with native vegetation and birdlife in a suburban
setting. The proposed development looks to improve the
connectivity of the reserve by building pathways, picnic
areas, bridges and viewing platforms for all to enjoy.

vote for their favourite logo.
The winning logo will be used on signage and promotional materials for the

Signage Project and will be rolled out in mid-2014. The roll out coincides with
improvements to Pauline Avenue in Dingley Village.
Competition closes 18 October 2013. For more information or to vote go to

Register early for Garage Sale
Trail and receive a free pack
Whether you’re looking for some retro bargains, want to de-clutter,
or just to get to know your neighbours, the third annual Garage Sale
Trail on 26 October 2013 is for you.
The first 5,000 people to register
nationally will get a free participant
pack with posters to promote their
sale and a free copy of a guide book
to help sell any unsold items from the
day.
During the past two years, the event
has redistributed about one million
items and saved them from going
to landfill, generated more than $1
million in local economic activity,
facilitated $3 million in fundraising
and created hundreds of thousands of
local connections across Australia.
OAM said the Garage Sale Trail was a
great way of promoting community
connections and making some pocket
money.
“While the Garage Sale Trail generates
local economic activity and provides
residents with a fun day of buying,
selling and connecting with other
locals, the aim to reduce waste and
reuse items which otherwise might
end up in landfill is an important one,”
Cr Brownlees said.
Join the Trail in Kingston!
Sellers who are hosting garage sales
on the day are invited to put their ‘sale
on the trail’ and list key items for sale.
Buyers can plan their shopping day by
searching what sales are nearby and
creating a personalised ‘treasure trail’
of sales and items to check out on
their mobile phone on the big day.
The event is supported by
Sustainability Victoria and 24 local
councils around the state.
To register or for more details go to
garagesaletrail.com.au
It’s free to get involved and
registration is open to households,
local businesses, schools, community
groups, makers and creators, cultural
institutions, charities and anyone
who’s up for a day of fun.
Green changes at Cheltenham Council Office
Council has achieved a 40%
reduction in the amount
of energy used to run its
Cheltenham municipal office.
After purchasing the building in 2010,
Council carried out some upgrades
because some infrastructure in the
building, such as the lift motors and
air conditioners, had reached the end
of their lifespan.
When investigating replacement parts,
Council decided to lead by example
in using environmentally sustainable
infrastructure.

This green technology will create an
ongoing reduction in Council’s energy
and water use and those savings
can ultimately be rolled back into
delivering important projects to the
Kingston community.
The top three most beneficial changes
were:
• Upgrading the lift motors to an
alternative which has a higher
sustainability rating and lower noise
levels.
• Installing a new cooling and air flow
system which is twice as efficient
as the old system. The associated
software controlling the system
tailors the temperature of the
building depending on what the
weather is doing outside and sends
instant alerts if irregularities occur.
• Replacing 50 Watt halogen lights to
5 Watt LED lights and motion
sensors in all foyers. These areas
are now brighter with an energy
reduction from 500w to 50w.
Motion sensors have reduced the
maintenance costs as lights are
being used less and are lasting
longer.
Government grants have assisted to
fund a number of these projects and
will also fund the upgrade of lighting
in the building to an LED motion
sensored system.
Why is the green waste
bin so important?
Green waste bins save the
planet and your money. In
2012-13 over 14,000 tonnes of
green waste were collected
from Kingston households.
If you place green waste in your
red-lidded garbage bin, this is sent to
landfill where it costs Council, and
residents it the long run, more in
landfill charges. This also takes up
valuable landfill space and produces
methane, a greenhouse gas that
is 20 times more damaging than
carbon dioxide.
If you correctly use the green waste
bin, garden organics are transported
by truck to a commercial organics
recycling facility where it’s shredded
and mulched.
Green Waste Tip
Just mowed the lawn
and running out of space
in your green bin? Wait
an hour and the grass
clippings shrink down.
What is green waste? Flowers, grass
clippings, leaf litter, pruning, small
branches (up to 100mm in diameter)
and weeds. All items must be loose
in the bin. Remember garden waste
in plastic bags, potting mix bags,
rubbish, stones and soil are not
accepted in the bins.

green waste bin or to opt-in to this
service go to

Council can help facilitate a Graffiti
Community Clean-up day for interested
groups of residents, faith groups,
community groups or students in local
schools. To find out more about how Council
can help call Gillian Turnbull on 9581 4807.
Held in October each

campaign aims to
promote awareness
about a range of safety matters including crime prevention,
personal safety, safe work practices and staying safe during an
emergency.
Community Safety Month was started in 1996 by the Victorian
Safe Communities Network which coordinates the project with
the support of Victoria Police.
Reporting Graffiti
Victoria Police and Council encourage residents to report graffiti or suspected
graffiti offenders on
vandaltrak.com.au. This online graffiti reporting
website helps Victoria Police with a database of reported graffiti to assist in the
identification of graffiti offenders.
Graffiti Paint Vouchers
Graffiti Removal Kits and paint vouchers are available at Council’s Customer
Service outlets. You can pick up a free graffiti removal kit or paint voucher
by filling out the request form available at

In July this year, Inspector Bruce Wemyss took up the position of Local Area
Commander for Kingston. Inspector Wemyss has had a diverse career including
a community engagement role to support diverse communities to reduce crime
and anti-social behavior.
This project has been funded under the Graffiti Prevention and Removal
Grants which is part of the State Government’s Community Crime
Prevention Program.
Inspector Wemyss and the local police have noticed a spike in theft from motor
cars lately, many of which could have been avoided.
For more information call Gillian Turnbull on
9581 4807.
Although local police will concentrate on reducing these incidents throughout
the coming months, here are some tips for the community to help keep valuables
safe.
•
Vehicle owners should check that they have locked their cars when
unattended, even if the car is parked in your driveway.
•
Hide your valuables away from passersby including items like handbags,
sunglasses and GPS.
“Many thefts are opportunistic. If the car is unlocked or thieves see items easily
taken they will be tempted,” says Inspector Wemyss.
“These types of thefts are very inconvenient for the owners. In many cases
personal items like credit cards and other IDs are taken. Not only is your identity
stolen and accounts accessed, it means these items have to be cancelled or reissued.”
Police stations across Kingston also offer one-way number plate screws for a gold
coin donation to ensure that part of your car is secure.
As we enter the warmer months many people will be leaving their cars for
periods of time to head to the beach and other recreational activities.
Students assist at a past community clean-up day
Remember, don’t spoil your day. Prevent thefts by following these couple of tips
to keep your items secure. More information can be found on Victoria Police

Recently, Council asked about people’s

Feedback we received ranged from a desire for
engaging, clean and safe public spaces to better
awareness of safety information.
From all the feedback Council developed four key
priorities to be addressed in the strategy:
• Safe built environment
• Successful funding submissions for a range of
public safety infrastructure initiatives and antigraffiti measures.

Make sure you and your loved ones follow
these simple tips to prevent or be prepared
in the event of a fire.
Smoke alarms save lives
Did you know that while sleeping you are unlikely
to smell smoke? A working smoke alarm is vital to
make sure you are able to wake up in the event of a
fire.
Here are some great tips to help you make sure your
alarm is in good working condition.
• Use long lasting 9V alkaline batteries in your
smoke alarms. By doing this you are ensuring your
alarm will be able to protect you all year-round.
• Use the brush attachment of your vacuum to clean
dust around the alarm. This ensures the smoke
sensors are clear.
• Install photo-electric smoke alarms rather than
ionisation smoke alarms where possible.
Home fire safety
• Replace all smoke alarms after 10 years.
We are all responsible for fire safety. House fires
can start and take hold within seconds so it’s vital
to pay attention. This means staying on the lookout
for everyday risks such as cooking left unattended
or clothes left too close to the heater.
• Purchase a smoke alarm that meets Australian
standards. Look for the AS3786 marking.
On average there are 4,500 fires in Victoria. Most
could be prevented by taking simple precautions.
Plan your escape in the event of a fire
Heaters, chimneys, electric blankets and clothes
dryers can become fire risks particularly if they have
been left sitting unused for a period of time. Things
you can do right now:
• Test your smoke alarm once a month using a
broom handle – the alarm should produce a
beeping sound when the test button is pressed.
Families who are well-prepared are more likely to
escape their homes safely and without panic.
You and your family should talk about your escape
plan in the event of fire. Discuss and know:
• Two quickest ways out of every room
• How you will exit from the second floor if you live
in a two storey house
• Agree upon a meeting place outside such as the
letterbox
• How you will call triple zero (000)
• Book a licensed gas-fitter to check your gas heater
• Check chimneys, flues and fire boxes for cracks,
rust and debris
• Check electric blankets for kinks in the wiring
• Clean your dryer’s lint filter (continue to do this
after every load)
• Check appliances for visible fraying or damaged
wiring
In an emergency call
000 and quote the
unique code from the
emergency marker

The code enables the

Coat of Arms
restored to
its full glory
Council and Chelsea and
District Historical Society
work together to preserve
local history for future
generations.
Six months ago the Chelsea and
District Historical Society wrote a
letter to Council asking for assistance
to restore the coat of arms located at
the front of the Court House Museum.
The historically listed building
has been standing since 1929 and
houses, amongst other things, a
pictorial history of our area. As you
can imagine with a building this old,
certain features need to be maintained
and restored. One key feature
identified was the coat of arms on the
front building.
“The club is delighted with the
outcome. Many people have
approached us about how vibrant
the coat of arms look at the front of
the Museum,” says Chelsea Historical
Society member Ron Jacobs.
Court House Museum Coat of Arms
Council contributed $7,000 for the
restoration.
“Projects like these are about
preserving history for our future
generations to remember where our
community has come from,” says Mr
Jacobs.
The Court House Museum is open
every Sunday for visitors or by
appointment if you call
9772 0145.
Council Community Grant provides welcome shade at Karkarook Park
Friends of Karkarook Park
use community grant to build
a shelter to protect nursery
from the elements.
Karkarook Park in Moorabbin is a
recreational and environmental oasis
for the community. For years people
have cycled, picnicked and walked
their dogs in the park. The Friends of
Karkarook Park Group, in their nursery,
propagate about 4,500 plants a year
which are then planted in the planned
areas throughout the park.
To protect the propagation, the
group applied for a Kingston Council
Community Grant to build shade in
2012.
After receiving the grant, Lions Club
of Moorabbin offered their services to
volunteer to install the cover. Thanks
to President John Lissenburg and
Lions members Charlie Smith and Bill
Tomkinson, the project was completed
in April this year.
The shade not only provides shelter for
the Friends Group, but lately, a group
of students from the Southern Autistic
School have been learning about
propagation and now receives weekly
training.
An Open Day at Karkarook Park,
Warrigal Road, Moorabbin is planned
for Saturday 12 October 11am -1pm.
Activities include: propagation
demonstration; guided walks; jazz and
swing band; water activities; group
training and there will be indigenous
plants for sale. All are welcome to this
free event.
The Friends of Karkarook Park meet
on the second and fourth Saturday
of each month from 9am to carry
out their work. New members are
welcome to join. Call Bev Bancroft on
9551 4578 for more information.

Propagation is to create new
plants or multiply plants by
using seeds or cutting.
Vietnamese

found a home for
Pham and Kim Chuo
the Chu Chu Club at
the Melaleuca Hub in Clarinda.
After arriving in Australia in 1984 as refugees, father
and daughter Pham and Kim Chuong feel passionate
about their culture and giving back to the country,
Australia, they now call home.
They have combined their passion for their
Vietnamese culture and willingness to give back to
their community by being part of the Chu Chu Club.
Pham is the President of the Club: Chu Chu meaning
dragon fly in Vietnamese.
The club offers people displaced from their home
country a chance to socialise and engage with their
community through dance and cultural activities.
For years the club moved around as they did not have
a base for their members. Luckily, the Melaleuca Hub
in Clarinda offered the club a space to meet and call
home. The hub offers the use of a community garden
and a space for their dancing and activities.
This is one of many stories showing Kingston’s
welcoming spirit to everyone from all cultures and
how the City embraces diversity.

The big task of
mowing Kingston’s
community space
After careful research, including
contacting England’s heraldry
headquarters, the club wrote a letter
to Council asking for assistance to
restore the coat of arms.
Starting in September and taking
around four weeks, local business
Lauro Lima Painting Services
restored the coat of arms. The work,
commissioned by Council, included
repainting the arms back to its original
colours and some restoration of pieces
that had suffered general wear and
tear from the elements.
|
If you think mowing your
backyard is challenging, think
of Kingston Council’s mowing
contractor who is responsible
for 450 hectares of open space
across the municipality.
Council’s open space mowing contact
involves keeping 48 sporting fields,
three athletic tracks, 13 baseball
fields and several hundred parks and
reserves well groomed and ready for
the many sporting groups and visitors
who enjoy using these recreational
facilities.
As soon as every open space area has
been ticked off the list, the mowing
cycle begins again. Sports grounds can
require particular attention with some
cricket fields being mown twice a week
in the summer. Major parks are tackled
every three weeks.
Council recently put its open space
mowing services contract up for tender,
a competitive process held regularly to
ensure the best possible cost outcomes
are achieved for ratepayers.
Citywide Service Solution, which
employs many locals at its Moorabbin
depot, was re-awarded the contact.
Council places a high priority on
environmentally friendly services, the
company purchased new equipment
to achieve the joint aim of a carbon
neutral service.
The new “green” plant and equipment
will produce less carbon emissions and
be more efficient which means more
mowing for less for Kingston residents.

heart of many discussions at our Council.
Residents who have been following this
issue would know that we have been talking
about it since Liberal Premier Dick Hamer
introduced them more than 40 years ago.

Your experiences and feedback is critical in
making sure Council effectively invests in
and lobbies for better transport solutions in
Kingston. If you have missed the deadline
(18 September) don’t worry, you can still
submit feedback to your Ward Councillors,
via post or email so that we can better
understand your needs and views.
Since entering Council, I have pushed for
the delivery of projects such as the final leg
of the Dingley Bypass (now well underway),
and railway grade level separations in
particular at Clayton Railway Station as
it services the Monash Medical Centre.
Your feedback is invaluable, so if you
feel strongly about a transport issue in
Kingston please contact Council or visit the
Kingston website kingston.vic.gov.au for
more details.

I would also ask drivers to be patient at our
level crossings, from personal experience
I appreciate how frustrating these delays
can be, but being delayed a few minutes is
never cause to risk your own and others’
lives by driving around the boom gates
across the tracks – something I witnessed
firsthand earlier this month.
Cr Paul Peulich - North Ward
Whilst we all want to see the
redevelopment move ahead as soon as
possible, refining the masterplan to deliver
parking and traffic solutions will improve
neighbourhood amenity and better service
the clubs and participants at the park.

Parents dropping off their children should
observe parking signs, especially drop off
points, a small change in behaviour can
make the world of difference.
Dales Park Masterplan Public Meeting
Thank you to all those who recently
attended a public meeting at the Clarinda

redevelopment of the Dales Park netball

Our long term vision for the Green Wedge
as outlined in adopted Council policy, the
Kingston Green Wedge Plan, includes a
phasing out of tip operations, and waste
related activities.

This has not been implemented yet and
Council has now received an application for
a materials recycling facility for Kingston Rd,
Heatherton.
The temporary protection against concrete
crushers / materials recycling that was put
in place has now expired after two years and
Planning Minister Matthew Guy has not yet
extended it.
[email protected]
In August 2012, Council passed a resolution
to rezone Green Wedge Zone and Special
Use 2 Zone land to “Green Wedge A Zone”
(on a margin of 8 votes to 1). This would
have the effect of protecting residents
and other Green Wedge land owners
from future materials recycling / concrete
crushing in the Green Wedge, while existing
uses are phased out and tip operations
conclude in the next several years. I am
advocating strongly for this resolution to be
implemented as soon as possible.
Council again passed a resolution at the
August 2013 Ordinary Council meeting to
ask the Minister for Planning to extend the
protection. I will continue to fight to protect
residents from continued unsuitable tip and
waste related operations in the Kingston
Green Wedge.

9581 4706, 0418 172 725
Over recent weeks there has been
commentary in the daily press
questioning the value and worth of
local government and its services.
While Council does collect rates, we
are also responsible for roads, drainage
(for which Council has received an
award of excellence- congratulations
to Alan West and his team), provision
and maintenance of parks, sporting
grounds and other recreation facilities,
community centres, libraries, festivals,
our wonderful foreshore and beaches,
bicycle paths, Meals on Wheels, maternal
and child health and children’s services,
youth services, aged services, and the list
goes on. It is important to note that while
it’s easy to criticise local government
for not meeting one's expectations
your Council was rated highly by the
community in a recent satisfaction

survey for many of its services and
functions. We pride ourselves on our
levels of consultation and we are always
willing to listen if there are areas where
we can improve our performance.
Is your Internet too slow?
A number of residents and business
owners have approached me with
concerns about the reliability and speed
of their internet service. To help us
understand the size and nature of this
issue, Kingston is currently conducting a
survey about internet usage. Please visit
our website to complete the survey and
have your say. Survey closes 9 October.
An example of our consultation is the
introduction of new Planning Residential
Zones. Many councils have decided to do
little or minimal consultation. Kingston
has already conducted several public
meetings and will soon be releasing a
draft proposal for your comment. We
are also conducting a review of our
Coastal Management Plan and again this
document is open for public comment.
Copies are available on Council's website

Revised plans for Watkins Reserve
I welcome the exciting new plans for
Watkins Reserve, Aspendale. After
community feedback the park has been
redesigned and the drainage swale
has been significantly reduced in size.
Thank you to the residents and officers
who met in the reserve, on a very chilly
evening in June and discussed the
proposed plans.
The Aspendale Rotary Club recently
conducted the Kingston Charitable Fund
Art Show at Woodlands Golf Club and I
wish to thank and congratulate them and
the artists for their continued support
with another high quality exhibition.
Cr Geoff Gledhill - Central Ward

The revised plan is a terrific example of
how Kingston is really listening to the
community and incorporating valuable
feedback into our projects.
Lights On at Glen Street, Aspendale
I loved watching the Edithvale Aspendale
Junior Football Club practise under the
newly installed lights at the Glen Street
oval. Thank you to our local member,
Donna Bauer for her support in securing
funding from the State Government.
This great community asset is now much
better equipped to meet the needs of
community football.

There are three very important issues
before Council at present, each will have
an ongoing impact across the city for
many years to come. The first is the new
residential zoning which will determine
with unprecedented certainty exactly
what type of development can occur and
where. Initial community consultation
by Council attracted a range of opinions
from residents. However, the volume of
responses was not high. A second round
of consultation will commence shortly
and I encourage residents to give an
opinion on the draft recommendations.
Council has also released the Draft
Coastal Management Plan and again it’s
important for Council to receive a truly
representative response to this document.
Finally, Council is again considering the
future of the Kingston Green Wedge
following the release of new State
Government Green Wedge Zones. Our
GWZ is unique, it differs from other
areas throughout Victoria and in my view
requires specific consideration. Council
will need to apply its mind to configuring
a sustainable, realistic and affordable
outcome that is acceptable to local
landowners and the broader Kingston
community alike.
Cr Rosemary West OAM - Central Ward
9776 2819, 0418 554 799
New zones on the way
Thanks to the 220 Central Ward residents
who made submissions to Council on the
new residential zones. Most wanted to be
in either the Neighbourhood Residential
Zone or the General Residential Zone, with
a two-storey limit. Either zone can provide
for two or three storey limits, but the NRZ
also provides for controls on density, such
as a maximum of one or two dwellings on
an average-sized lot, whereas GRZ allows
apartment blocks.
A draft plan showing where the zones may
be located is available soon. Please look at
what will be planned and let Council know
whether this provides the protection you
want. The new zones will provide more
certainty, but less scope for successful
objection to development applications
once in place, so please engage in the
consultation (email strategicplanning@
kingston.vic.gov.au for a copy)
Mobile offices
As part of my continuing commitment to
consult with the community and listen
to the issues that are important, I will
be holding a number of mobile offices
throughout October. I would invite you
to take this opportunity to tell me about
the issues that are important to you and
let me know what you believe Council’s
priorities are for the coming year should
be. With Councillors already beginning
to discuss the budgeting priorities for the
2014 financial year, it’s important for me to
hear from you.
We all have the opportunity to use the
foreshore precinct for a range of activities,
and it’s vital that Council is aware of
those thoughts so as we are able to
confirm a workable document that is
considerate of a wide range of community
opinions.
[email protected]
Farming to stay in the Green Wedge
The new Green Wedge and Green Wedge
A zones also provide more certainty for
the future. Planning Minister Matthew
Guy said the Victorian Government
wanted the Green Wedges for increased
agricultural production and not
residential development. “Green Wedge
Zones make a significant contribution to our
city’s liveability and as such it is important
the Coalition Government protects these zones
from inappropriate development.” (Media
Release, 14/8)
He acknowledged that “About one third (of)
Green Wedge areas are public land, and …
they contribute significantly to Melbourne’s
open space network.”
Minister Guy’s announcement will
please the majority of Kingston citizens
who told Green Wedge Plan consultants
(via a representative survey) that they
wanted the Green Wedge protected for
agriculture, parkland, environmental
conservation and recreation.
Mobile offices will be taking place at:
•
Outside the Coffee Club in Chelsea
Saturday 5 October 10-10.45am.
•
Carrum Shopping Centre (near ALDI),
Saturday 5 October 11-11.45am.
•
Chelsea Heights Shopping Centre,
Saturday 5 October 11.55am-12.30pm.
•
Carrum Station (city bound),
Monday 14 October 7.30-8.30am.
As always, if you are unable to make any
of the mobile offices listed above, please
feel free to get in contact with me to
discuss any matters of interest, or concern.
Alternatively, I will be having another
round of mobile offices in the coming
months and would be delighted to see you
then.
Summer reminder:
It has been a pleasure to be out and about
in the community over the past few weeks,
particularly on the days that we’ve enjoyed
such nice weather. I would just remind
people that staying hydrated, looking
after the vulnerable and remembering the
sunscreen, sunglasses and hats are very
important.

programs to residents. As we head into
the summer months, let’s be mindful of
safety and listen to our life savers when
on the beach.
Opening of Carrum LSC
I am looking forward to the Carrum Life
Saving Club re-opening this month.
As you know planning for the project
started in 2011 with construction
beginning in 2012. For most of the
construction phase the club has been
closed for safety reasons. The new
structure provides a range of improved
amenities from change rooms to
meeting rooms that can be booked by
the community to use. The building will
also offer better access for people with
disabilities, which is in line with Council’s
commitment to providing access and
inclusion across Kingston facilities.
Life Saving Clubs offer an important
safety service to our community. Often
volunteers patrol the beaches during
peak season and provide water safety
Seniors Festival
Kingston’s Seniors Festival is on again
