FEDERAL ELECTION 2019
Labor onside for football works LABOR set their eyes on women’s sport in Frankston this week, with candidate Peta Murphy promising $1.3 million to revamp the home of Southern United if Labor wins government. Monterey Reserve homes both the women’s football team Southern United and the Frankston Pines Football Club. Ms Murphy said the promised federal funding, combined with a $600,000 state government grant would “ensure the community had access to modern, fit for purpose, female friendly facilities.” “Our investment in a new pavilion at Monterey Reserve will ensure it includes not only welcoming, appropriate amenities for women and girls but also that the facilities
are upgraded to provide a better sporting experience for all members of both clubs, and a better facility for family, supporters and the community,” she said. “Southern United is dedicated to developing female football talent, from juniors right through to its Victorian WNPL team. Labor will ensure the club has appropriate facilities to continue to encourage greater female participation at all levels while supporting aspiring players looking to reach higher levels of competition.” Monterey Reserves’ new pavillion is planned to contain a community function space, four new change rooms, two umpires rooms, toilets, a kitchen, office, storage space, and a first aid room.

Push to ease parking pain TRAIN station parking was the target of the Liberal’s campaign in Dunkley last week, with MP Chris Crewther announcing $38.5 million in “budgeted” funding to go towards adding parking at Frankston, Seaford, and Kananook stations. “This funding includes $38.5 million towards a $56 million project to build parking upgrades for Frankston, Kananook and Seaford stations with Frankston to get 600 new spaces, including 100 short term parking spots, and Seaford and Kananook getting 100 new spaces each,” Mr Crethwer said.

“These 800 new car parks will take cars off the road and help our locals get home quicker to spend more time with their families.” Mr Crewther said the remaining funding for the “$56 million project” was a “budgeted amount the state government have already put towards Frankston commuter car parking.” “Funding is budgeted, so we’ll just have to work with council and state government on exact sites plans, designs and build. The start date will depends on the willingness of council and or the state government to push along the projects as owners of the site and or co-funders.” (Small green ballot paper)
