It’s an incredibly exciting time for our community. After years of hard-fought advocacy, we are on the brink of a significant milestone: the opening of the Keysborough South Community Hub later this year. This long-awaited project, achieved through the persistence of our community, is nearing completion.

I hope everyone had the opportunity to have their say in the most recent community consultation in April for the naming of the Hub and feedback towards the Community Hub Strategic Framework and draft Terms of Reference for the combined Hubs Advisory Committee.

We’ve taken a bold step towards a greener future with the recent installation of a state-of-the-art heating and cooling system at our Hub. The Hub will feature cutting-edge climate control technology that significantly reduces its environmental impact; this pioneering system is believed to be among the first of its kind in Australia and is a game-changer for our city.

Additionally, the new shade sails at Pencil Park are finally here, providing much-needed shelter from the unpredictable Melbourne weather.

Finishing works are taking place at Perry Road and are on track to be completed by June. Keys Road will remain open to through traffic, but the remaining works should have a low traffic impact.

I’m working hard to improve safety for children traveling to and from schools in our area.

I have met with State Member for Mordialloc, Tim Richardson, to discuss securing State Government support for crossing supervisors for Keysborough Garden Primary School and Sirius. I’m hopeful for a positive discussion with Mr. Richardson.

I have also continued to advocate for transparency on the Keysborough South Levy and look forward to ensuring Council explains and demonstrates value for your rates in the upcoming budget.
