National Volunteers Week: Roy’s selfless devotion to Frankston
When Roy Giesemann moved to Frankston close to four decades ago, it was love at first sight.
In 2017, Roy received Frankston City’s Senior Citizen of the Year Award on Australia Day to honour and acknowledge his stellar contribution to tourism development.
North East Ward Cr Suzette Tayler said Frankston City is celebrating and honouring the amazing efforts of our volunteers, including Roy, as part of National Volunteer Week (17 – 23 May).
Cr Tayler said our volunteers including Roy make a remarkable difference in the lives of many residents and visitors across Frankston City.
The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia 2021
On 17 May, we held a special event with a flag raising ceremony in the Civic Centre forecourt, to acknowledge IDAHOBIT Day.
Mayor Kris Bolam gave an impassioned speech about our zero tolerance for discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation and our desire to create an inclusive, welcoming community.
It was wonderful to hear the voices of the community and to celebrate the contribution of our diverse LGBTIQA+ communities, as a vibrant, active and dynamic part of our social fabric.
New mural at Seaford pays tribute to our natural environment
A stunning new mural at the Seaford Library and Community Centre pays tribute to Frankston City’s wonderful and captivating natural environment.
Artist Melanie Caple’s mural features coastal banksias, tea tree and a swamp gum – based on what she observed at nearby Kananook Creek.
“I featured botanicals that are indigenous to the Kananook Creek area. I was particularly excited about painting the tea-tree – those flowers are so beautiful!”

‘I Hate Networking’ is a surprisingly fun online event, combining the learning opportunity of a workshop with the real-world practical application of a networking event. It’s designed to encourage creative people to get to know each other, while also acknowledging the horror that is networking, and sharing a few tips at the same time.
Tickets are $15.

Council urges all residents to stay 1.5 metres apart and wear a face mask when not able to socially distance.
