Owners can also register their pets at the event. “Pet registration is crucial to ensure our local laws officers can reunite lost pets with their owners,” Cr Staikos said. “Some people don’t realise that pet registration is compulsory but we can help and will have staff on hand to make registering your pet quick and easy.” See kingston.vic.gov.au or phone council to find out if you are eligible for reduced registration fees, as you may need to bring along documents on the day to receive a discount.

cut 10 minutes off a trip between the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and the Dingley Bypass. The freeway will connect the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Springvale Road in Aspendale Gardens to the Dingley Bypass in Dingley Village, establishing a continuous freeway from Frankston to Clayton. The new freeway will have entry and exit ramp interchanges at Springvale Road, Governor Road, Lower Dandenong Road and Centre Dandenong Road. A new interchange will also be built at Thames Promenade. An Environmental Effects Statement is to be done by the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning amid some concerns about the impact the new bypass may have on the nearby Seaford-Edithvale Wetlands. Voters in the seats of Mordialloc, Carrum, Frankston and Bentleigh can expect several visits from both Premier Daniel Andrews and opposition leader Matthew Guy in the months leading up to polling day in November. The marginal seats, dubbed the “sandbelt seats”, are seen as crucial to politicians’ hopes of winning or staying in government. The four seats swung to Labor at the 2014 state election and a swing back of just 1 per cent would deliver Carrum, Frankston and Bentleigh back to the Liberals.

Construction of the long-mooted Mordialloc Bypass will begin next year with completion due by the end of 2021.
