Spreading cheer
CHELSEA SES members got together last week to record a special Christmas message. The SES group recorded a Christmas song titled Christmas Time Down Under to play throughout the festive season, and filmed a music video to go with it. Their video has proved a hit, accumulating over 10,000 views in two weeks. Cathryn, Liam, Jarrod, Christian, Phil, Kimba, and Katie (pictured) were among the SES members who got involved to make the video.

Contract awarded for rail works Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE contract for level crossing removal works at Edithvale, Chelsea, and Bonbeach stations has been awarded. The contract for work on the three
Frankston line stations will cost taxpayers $744 million. The state government announced on Monday (9 December) that an alliance of Lendlease, Acciona Coleman Rail, WSP and Metro Trains Melbourne had been appointed to complete the project. Sections of the Frankston line are
set to be lowered to remove level crossings at Edithvale Road, Station Street in Bonbeach, Argyle Avenue on Chelsea Road, and Swanpool Avenue in Chelsea. The works will also see Thames Promenade extended to the Nepean Highway at Chelsea. New stations will be also construct-
ed at Edithvale, Chelsea and Bonbeach as part of the works. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said “we’re keeping our promises and removing dangerous and congested level crossings.” “Every level crossing removal makes local streets safer, improves
traffic flow and allows us run more trains, and every one of them creates Victorian jobs.” Major works are set to get started next year. Continued Page 3
