Further updates will be provided on YourSay following the Council Election on 26 October 2024, and the questions/feedback tab will be reinstated.
From 12.00 noon Tuesday 17 September until 6.00 pm on Saturday 26 October (Election Day) we will be in the Local Government Election Period (also known as Caretaker Period).
During this time, we will limit our printed communications, website content, social media activity, and community consultations. The ability for people to comment on our social media content will also be disabled during the Election Period.
Each of these steps is to ensure our content does not affect voting in the election and is consistent with steps taken by other Victorian Councils and the Local Government Act 2020.
These changes are only temporary; we'll be back to normal communication activity after the election.

Our contractor, Cranes Asphalting and Bitumen Sealing, has made visible headway into the construction of the car parking along the north side of Marine Parade, which will provide an anticipated total of 50 formalised parking spaces when completed.
In addition to the current project scope, improvements will be made to the intersection of Marine Parade and Carstairs Avenue to significantly reduce localised flooding in the area.
There were some delays due to design issues and wet weather, however, Cranes is diligently working to complete the project before the busy Christmas holiday season.

Construction works on Marine Parade commenced on 24 June 2024, as planned.
Our contractors, Cranes Asphalting and Bitumen Sealing have since made significant progress and you can already see the carparking bays taking shape.
Drainage infrastructure works have also commenced at the main boat ramp carpark and the Laura Street intersection.
The wet weather has caused some minor delays; however, the Cranes' crew continues to work between weather events when possible.
Works have been staged to minimise disruptions, and road safety measures have been implemented including signage, traffic lights, and fencing.
Please follow all directions from our contractor during this time, to ensure safety for all.
