‘Sod’ turns for new jobs An independent voice for the community
We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper in Frankston City and on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
A NEW aged care centre on FrankstonDandenong Rd, Carrum Downs, will provide between 120 and 175 jobs starting now, and continuing over the next 12 months, its owners say. These will be in planning, construction, building and design, as well as nursing, carers, chefs, doctors, cleaners and laundry personnel. John McKenna, chief financial
officer for Japara Healthcare Group, which runs Bayview Aged Care, said the multi-million dollar building’s 30 new beds “will provide much needed residential care for ageing local residents. Demand for services in this area is on the incline due to our ageing population”. A ‘turning of the sod’ ceremony last week by Frankston mayor Cr Darrel
Taylor and Carrum MP Donna Bauer, on behalf of Ageing Minister David Davis, got the aged care centre in Carrum Downs up and running. It will open next year. Bayview Aged Care is part of Aged Care Services Australia Group and Japara Healthcare group, which operates 35 aged care facilities across Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and South Australia.
