Reporting Crime
Police have asked for us to please call 000 for all Police related matters in our community and not to call the local police directly (unless you are specifically in contact with a representative). 000 calls are all logged and provide police with statistics which enables them to allocate resources where required on an on-going basis. Note: The police will need to prioritise your calls depending on danger to people etc.

Upgrade to Chipton Park Update (formerly known as Crimea Reserve) 10 June 2018.
Feedback from the second stage of community consultation for Chipton Park, in Crimea Street, has been collated by Council identifying key themes from the significant feedback received. Council’s landscape architect is currently updating the concept design incorporating the feedback. It is anticipated that the final concept design, incorporating the feedback, will be released to the community by the end of June 2018.
The detailed design, procurement and construction of the park will occur in 2018/19. Once the final concept design is completed, Council will be in a position to determine accurate timelines for the works and be able to convey them to the community.
The JAAG committee encourages residents to keep asking Council to deliver a park that meets our needs and contributes positively to the streetscape. In the meantime can you contact Anita Johnstone at Open Spaces who is coordinating the upgrade to get answers to your queries.

St Kilda Junction PTV Substation
72% of respondents to the design survey preferred Option 1 – ‘Future Forest’. The ‘Lighthouse’ and ‘Timeline’ options received 13% and 15% respectively. Much of the feedback indicated people liked that the preferred option (pictured below) blended in to the local area and with other vegetation and provided the best outcome in preventing grafitti.
The next stage is to tender the detail design and implementation of the final concept design choice. PTV anticipate that the substation including the exterior detail will be completed and landscaped by DECEMBER 2018.
