Junction Oval gets Big Bash

Fishermans Bend progress Youth for healthy minds 1

Councillors with the 2018 Premier's Sustainability Award (Government category) won by the City of Port Phillip (in conjunction with Melbourne, Moreland, and Yarra) for the Melbourne Renewable Energy Project (MREP).

The project is constructing a wind farm near Ararat that will supply Council with 100 per cent green power for the next decade.

From strategy to reality

Halfway through their four-year term, Port Phillip’s Councillors reflect on progress so far.

Thanks to everyone who took part in Council consultations and feedback. Listening is a big part of our job and we will keep checking in with you to ensure that we are on the right path.

Howzat! Free entry After a big makeover by Cricket Victoria, St Kilda's Junction Oval can now host more top cricket, including the Women’s Big Bash League’s big opening weekend on 1 and 2 December.

With your input we now have a Council Plan and strategies in crucial areas where Council can and must play a leadership role.

Our Don't Waste It - Waste Management Strategy and Act and Adapt - Sustainable Environment Strategy commit Council to playing a leadership role for our environment and helping you to do likewise in your homes and businesses. We now have clear steps to dramatically reduce waste sent to landfill. Further, Council will soon be proudly powered by 100 per cent renewable energy.

Our Art and Soul - Creative and Prosperous City Strategy builds on local strengths in culture, tourism

and business. What you do inspires us, so we have developed more ways to help you to inspire others.

Move, Connect, Live - Integrated Transport Strategy has plans to boost walking, bike riding and public transport use. We aim to keep car ownership and congestion to 2016 levels by doing more to encourage more people to walk, ride and use public transport.

We are now focused on transforming these strategies into real outcomes. We have made significant but prudent budget commitments to the strategies and in 2019 you’ll start seeing this investment taking shape in your neighbourhood.

In the meantime, we wish you a happy and safe festive season and beyond.

Parks are precious, magical places

As our population grows, public open space becomes more precious and at times even magical.

There are many reasons to visit Alma Park, including Hank Marvin Market on Saturdays, loads of sports, bike paths, playgrounds for all ages, modern toilet facilities, a gazebo and a BBQ.

Royals on beach patrol Anti-littering efforts, the focus of Council and Port Phillip Leader’s #LoveOurBay campaign, got a royal boost when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex met BeachPatrol volunteers at South Melbourne Beach in October.

The royal couple was introduced to local students who showed samples of litter collected from local beaches; each student had a bag with a specific category of litter, including plastic straws, bottle tops, plastic bottles, balloons, coffee cups and lids.

BeachPatrol vice-president Ross Headifen, who is involved with #LoveOurBay, met the royals and said they were very tuned into environmental issues and the dangers of plastic pollution.

‘Prince Harry was very interested in hearing the students’ ideas on how to stop plastic pollution,’ he said.

Council has increased its summer management funding to provide extra rubbish bins, bin collections and beach cleans all summer. This will make it easier for everyone to keep our beaches, parks and reserves clean - and help protect the marine life in our bay.

For everyone’s safety, no glass is allowed on the foreshore at any time.

Summer rangers will also be out and about encouraging everyone to use the bins and to take it easy as the hot weather rolls in.

Extra summer services www.portphillip.vic.gov.au/ summer-in-city.htm

Laws on patrol Council local laws officers will be patrolling beaches, parks and foreshore reserves, enforcing our glass and camping bans this summer.

Alcohol bans over Christmas and New Year Council is working with Victoria Police to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone during the festive season.

From Christmas Eve through to Boxing Day inclusive, a total alcohol ban will be enforced on the St Kilda foreshore, which includes beaches, parks, piers and reserves.

For the New Year period, the total alcohol ban will extend to all public places in the municipality, including beaches, parks, piers and streets, starting from 8 pm on 30 December, effective until 12 noon 2 January 2019.

Fishermans Bend in the frame Divercity looks at the new framework shaping Australia’s largest urban renewal project, which includes the Port Phillip precincts of Wirraway, Sandridge and Montague.

The new Framework brings forward some crucial and welcome new features:

Education Plans for five schools, including the recently delivered South Melbourne Primary School and the recently announced Fishermans Bend Secondary School.

Kirrip Park is the first in a series of parks proposed for Fisherman Bend. Kirrip means friendship in the Boon Wurrung language.

Environment

After an extensive process, which included a planning review panel and an extensive 59 day public hearing, the Victorian Government has finalised the Fishermans Bend Framework and planning controls, which provides a much needed guide to the development of the area until 2050.

Located between the bay, city and current residential areas, the Bend has always played a major role in Melbourne’s industrial development. The Framework now offers a guiding hand to a new phase - a mix of inner city residential and employment uses with an amenity that communities have come to expect.

Council has long argued that planning rules should deliver the aspirations of future residents and ratepayers. The vision is for family friendly, liveable and sustainable neighbourhoods that, from the start, have plans for crucial features such as open space, shops, community hubs, transport links and environmental building standards.

Over the next 12 months, Council will work with the Victorian Government to prepare detailed precinct plans to realise the vision for the three Port Phillip precincts. Development of a funding and finance Plan will also be crucial to ensure the progressive delivery of essential infrastructure as the area develops.

Follow the Framework www.fishermansbend.vic.gov.au

A 5 star Green Building Council of Australia accreditation requirement for developments over 5,000 square metres (4 star requirement for all others).

Mandatory water tanks and third pipe plumbing for all developments.

A series of proposed new parks, including the future expansion of North Port Oval to become a major sporting precinct.

Transport A proposed tram crossing over the Yarra River and two new tram routes.

The potential for two train alignments and three train stations to be further investigated.

Social housing A social housing uplift scheme that allows developers to plan eight additional dwellings for every social housing dwelling that they gift to a community housing organisation.

Student leaders for healthy minds Students from nine schools across Port Phillip presented their ideas about creating healthy minds during a recent Youth in Chamber session.

Student leaders told Councillors about activities at their school to promote healthy minds.

At Port Melbourne Primary School, the Harmony Project promoted community connectedness, which was a way to say bullying was unacceptable.

At St Kilda Park Primary School, Year 6 students hosted Creating Healthy Minds activities throughout the year.

Albert Park Primary School students held a Hygiene Drive to collect hygiene products to distribute to people experiencing homelessness.

At St Kilda Primary School, they celebrated Mindfulness Month with mindfulness sessions on Mondays and Fridays in August.

Activities included mindful origami, colouring and guided meditation using Smiling Mind and mindfulness music.

Acts of Kindness was the theme at Galilee Regional Catholic Primary School, where students engaged the whole school in acts of kindness.

Elwood Primary School held a cultural awareness and understanding month that included cultural information packs, as well as classroom and schoolyard activities.

Mac.Robertson Girls’, Wesley College, Albert Park College and CBC St Kilda also shared their healthy mind strategies with the councillors. Highlights included an art competition focused on reducing anxiety and peer-to-peer learning programs.

Healthy in the heat With a hot summer forecast, Council encourages everyone to take it easy on hot days, drink lots of water and check on your vulnerable neighbours.
