Community connectors program
Paul EDBROOKE (Frankston) (09:52): Last week I was delighted to help launch the community connectors program at Frankston station, with the initial rollout successful in engaging over 120 people at the station. Eight million visitors pass through Frankston station each year, making it an incredibly busy hub. The community connectors program is now providing on-the-ground support for people facing mental health challenges, social isolation and financial hardship, helping reduce antisocial behaviour and trespassing incidents while keeping public spaces supportive and inclusive for our Frankston community. Together with Metro Trains Melbourne, South East Community Links and the Frankston City Council, we are making Frankston station and Young Street a more inclusive and vibrant public space.
