How to connect
■ The Connecting Communities paper, a draft Integrated Transport Strategy - created after consultation with the community – seeks to address Frankston City’s growing population which is putting a strain on transport infrastructure and environment. The 55-page Paper is up for consultation with the community, which can engage with Council until October 2, online by visiting the Engage Frankston site. The draft Strategy takes into account that by 2041 there will be an additional 21,463 people in Frankston City, taking the population to 163,610 people. At the moment, Frankston City is one of the most cardependent Cities of Greater Melbourne.

■ Some e 82 per cent of the Mornington Peninsula is not serviced by public transport. People cannot catch a regular bus or a train to or from most of the places where they work, live and socialise on the Peninsula. Only three per cent of Peninsula residents use public transport. “This appalling lack of service is unacceptable and we are enraged about this,” said a Council representative. “We desperately need a cross-Peninsula bus service between Hastings and Mornington. This 18-km journey across the Peninsula, via Frankston, currently takes nearly two hours by bus. “We also need more frequent express bus services to cut journey times.”
Servicing Bayside and Peninsula area. Concrete cutting, minor demo work to doors, floors, walls, windows. No obligation/free quotes. No job too small.
