For too long, the Mornington Peninsula Shire has been overlooked and underfunded by the state government.

This Christmas, we ask for:

Housing

Just 3.5 per cent of local rental properties and only 2.4 per cent of houses sold are affordable to low-income households. More than a third of private rental households are suffering housing stress. Our health, tourism and hospitality sectors are struggling to attract workers, due to a lack of affordable housing.

Coastal Management

The Mornington Peninsula Shire has 192km of coastline, of which Council manages 64km. We are experiencing climate impacts, including erosion and sea level rise and need adequate government funding to better manage our coastlines and build resilience.

Save Rosebud Hospital

We are seeking $400 million investment in Rosebud Hospital to keep it open. Frankston is too far. Our community needs to be able to access an up-to-date hospital with modern facilities.

Port of Hastings surplus land

We need clarity on the timing of a Victorian government decision regarding the boundaries of the Port of Hastings and release of surplus land. This would enable planning for industry, housing and conservation.

Road Maintenance

Our community continues to raise the declining condition of roads on the Mornington Peninsula as their number one concern. The most problematic roads, highlighted by our community, include many main arterial roads managed by the Victorian Government.

Homelessness

Our municipality receives little funding for homelessness services, despite having the highest number of people sleeping rough in Victoria – greater even than Melbourne City Council.
