Message from the CEO Frankston really is at its best in summer. Our beaches and parklands offer relief from the heat for locals and visitors.

The event season is in full swing with The Waterfront Festival on the weekend of 10 and 11 February this year, to coincide with the Gold Coast 2018 Queen’s Baton Relay coming to Frankston. Show your colours and line the streets to support this event which will showcase Frankston City internationally.

Council has also helped attract a number of new events locally, which are featured in this edition including the Australian Beach Games on the Australia Day weekend and the Stellar Short Film Festival.

The Frankston Arts Centre (FAC) has launched their new program for 2018 showcasing why they have successfully increased attendance levels by more than 30,000 in the past year. The FAC is a great asset for our community hosting everything from school presentations and dance concerts to international musicians and nationally touring performances.

Council offers a range of school holiday activities including some where people of all ages are welcome

While summer is a perfect time to enjoy all our local activities, it is important to take care in the heat.

When the temperature soars, reduce what you try to do. Seek refuge at one of our air-conditioned libraries.

This is also bushfire season. Whether you’re staying close or travelling around the state, download the VicEmergency app which will warn you about fires, floods, storms and more.

The new year will bring even more improvements in Frankston City with works pending on the new Frankston Train Station alongside further developments at Chisholm and a multitude of Council projects. 2018 will also be a state government election year and Council will continue to advocate on your behalf in the best interests of everyone in our community.

Safe summer fun Heatwave health

More people have died during extreme heat than in any natural disaster in Australia. A hot summer is expected this year and people at most risk of heat stroke include young children, seniors, pregnant women, people with disabilities and people on certain medications.

On days above 30°C stay safe, slow down and don’t try to do everything.

If you or anyone you know feels unwell on a hot day call NURSE-ON-CALL on 1300 60 60 24, or phone 000 in an emergency.

Visit: betterhealth.vic.gov.au/heat

Children, pets and hot cars

On a 29 degree Celsius day a car can reach 44 degrees in just 10 minutes.

Never leave children or pets unattended in cars.

Sun sense

Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. Have fun in the sun but remember to care for your skin. Shirt, sunscreen, hat, sunnies and shade are a great start. Book in for a mole scan for extra peace of mind. For a 'seeUV' app or advice about preventing skin cancer, visit: sunsmart.com.au

Beach report Watch around water

Children are only safe around water when you’re actively watching them and children aged under 5 must be within arm’s reach. Check your pool/ spa fence and gate and never prop the pool gate open. For a home pool safety app, pool party safety advice and more useful ideas visit: keepwatch.com.au

Water for wildlife

Leave a shallow dish of water in the shade, with some protection from predators, to help look after thirsty wildlife this summer.

If you spot any local wildlife that need help, contact: AWARE 0412 433 727 or Animalia 0435 822 699.
