cover story

Happy 100 to Violet

South Melbourne Community Chest Op Shop customers are regularly greeted by the warmth and cheer of Violet, a local resident and volunteer at the shop, who has just celebrated her 100th birthday.

Parties for centenarians Turning 100? When you hire a community facility for your party, you pay only for public liability insurance and a refundable security deposit ($27.50). Now that’s worth a party.

Building community immunity

An outbreak of whooping cough at a local primary school is a powerful reminder of the importance of timely vaccinations.

Did you know that Port Phillip has a lower rate of vaccination than required to provide ‘herd’ immunity from serious infections including measles and whooping cough?

Council is keen to help every parent get their child fully vaccinated. That’s why Council is working with schools and childcare centres to promote our free immunisation program.

This Divercity has plenty of ideas for reducing, reusing and recycling, including a handy lift out that helps you make the most of Council’s rubbish and recycling services.

A highlight is the innovative MyClimate online tool which shows you how much solar energy and

water falls on your home, enabling you to invest in energy and water saving with more confidence.

Aspiring film makers and lovers of short film can look forward to the 32nd St Kilda Film Festival now with the added attraction of screenings at the St Kilda Town Hall. After opening night at the Palais, the 100 film program will play over nine nights at the town hall with a festival lounge and bar backed up by state of the art sound and screening technology.

Lastly, we wish Violet (on the cover) a happy 100th birthday. Thank you Violet for your years of volunteering in our community.

Council wants your assistance to identify people illegally dumping rubbish, to help reduce costs and improve the amenity of our streets.

Council now receives more than 500 complaints every month about dumped rubbish, double the number in 2011.

Council’s contractors collect 50 to 60 tonnes of illegal rubbish each month, mostly from nature strips and lanes. The dumped rubbish ranges from discarded furniture to abandoned household items like mattresses and fridges.

Collecting this dumped rubbish is a significant cost to Council and can only be recouped when the person responsible for dumping the rubbish is identified. Illegal dumping is a serious offence and can carry penalties of up to $8,857 and / or one month imprisonment.

Lucky day for Ride2school Ride2School Day was held on Friday 13 March and more local schools than ever before took part. In all, 12 out of 18 local schools joined in. From St Kilda Primary School, 87 per cent of students came by bike or scooter, or walked, which led to a significant decline in car travel for the school run that day.

Not vaccinating a child puts them and other children at serious risk of dangerous diseases and illnesses.

Nationally there have been a number of deaths of infants from whooping cough who were too young to be immunised.

Council’s Home and Community Care (HACC) program provides support to older people and people with a disability who want to remain independent and safe within their home and their local community.

Services include delivered meals, personal care, home care (assistance with domestic chores) and respite care to support the carer.

The State Government plans to start a ‘No Jab No Play’ policy in 2016, which will stop children who are not fully immunised from enrolling in childcare unless they have an approved medical exemption or their parents have a conscientious objection.

Banners Bold The Furies stand up

Kate Just’s renegade gang is angry, mournful and resistant. The Furies, four metre banners depicting twelve local women with a 50 year age span, some of them survivors of violence, stand boldly amongst the grand columns of the St Kilda Town Hall.

Kate, 2013 recipient of the Rupert Bunny Fellowship, was inspired by the recent murders of women, including St Kilda woman Tracy Connelly. The Furies confront the reality of violence against women and provide a public space for women to process their rage and grief.
