Support to send train line down track Continued from Page 1 Earlier this year, a meeting to discuss the planned extension to Baxter saw both councils end up on different pages. Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said at the final public meeting of 2018 that both councils had a dinner together and established that “Mornington Peninsula [Shire] has no problem with the electrification to Langwarrin and Baxter.” Cr Gill refuted that, saying it was “not an accurate summary of the meeting.” He said “Mornington Peninsula Council expressed the wish to have the electrification extension to at least Hastings.” “Mornington Peninsula Council is not in favour of the extension stopping at Baxter which is in the green wedge and the Mornington Peninsula municipality. Hastings is the logical extension with extensive zoned special use including port related and industrial land and residential land still available for development,” he said. “It is unfortunate that the Frankston CEO felt it necessary to speak on behalf of the Mornington Peninsula Shire. He is the CEO of Frankston City, not the Mornington Peninsula Municipality (“Councils butt heads over Baxter line”, The Times, 29/1/19).”

election campaign. Despite not winning the seat, there was a swing towards Labor which cut the margin down to less than 2 per cent. Since the redistribution of the seat that margin has closed even further. Emily Green has been preselected to stand for the Greens, while Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party has named Ronald Jean as its candidate. Spencer Porter, owner of Moove Mobile in Frankston, will stand as an independent. The Dunkley electorate encompasses Mt Eliza, Langwarrin, and Carrum Downs.
