Langwarrin welcomes new ambulance station A NEW ambulance station in Langwarrin has officially opened, providing paramedics with state-ofthe-art facilities. The new 24-hour ambulance on McClelland Drive features a four-bay garage for ambulances, four rest and recline areas, training facilities, a fully equipped kitchen and improved security and car parking. The new station replaces the 1970-built station on Warrandyte Rd, which, at the time was one the smallest in the metropolitan region. “The bigger and better branch has been custombuilt with the modern and safe facilities paramedics need to do their job and respond to life-threatening cases in the community,” Ambulance Victoria interim CEO Andrew Crisp said. “It’s great to see this growing area in Melbourne’s southeast receive such a welcome upgrade that will service the community well into the future. Crisp added that the gives local paramedics a safe and modern home-base they can truly be proud of.” Crisp last week joined Hastings MP Paul Mercurio MP and Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke MP to open the new multi-million-dollar facility, PARAMEDICS celebrate the official opening of the new ambulance station in Langwarrin.

Cost for Nepean Boulevard revealed Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE state and federal governments will be asked to put in $10 million each towards the Nepean Highway Boulevard redevelopment project. Frankston Council named the Boulevard project as one of its advocacy priorities ahead of the upcoming federal election. At their last meeting they released the costings for the project. Council projects that works on the Kananook Creek Park and Gateway Site will cost $4.2 million, Comfort Station works will cost $2.8 million, central median landscaping will cost $2.3 million, Overton Road signalised crossing and intersection will cost $3.1 million, the Waterfront
Shared User Path Connection will cost $2.4 million, and the Southern Path Connection and Median Planting will cost $5.2 million. Frankston Council has allocated $5.2 million in its long term infrastructure plan for the development of the Nepean Boulevard Precinct, and has already spent a little more than $2 million to work on central median greening on Nepean Highway near Overton Road and adjacent to the Frankston waterfront play space. The motion agreed to by Frankston councillors at their last meeting reads that the $20 million “does not represent the entire cost of the Master Plan implementation but discrete Signature Projects within the Master Plan.”
