FRANKSTON: Crs travel to Canberra


Frankston Mayor Cr Kris Bolam was accompanied by Cr Sue Baker (pictured) and Cr Brad Hill to the 2025 Australian Local Government Association National General Assembly in Canberra.
The annual gathering brings together hundreds of Mayors, Councillors and senior local government leaders from across the country to discuss the key challenges and opportunities facing Australian communities.
Cr Sue Baker said the Assembly offered an important opportunity for Frankston City to contribute to ALGA’s federal advocacy platform, while championing the city’s local priorities on the national stage: “When councils advocate and work together, we can achieve amazing things,” Cr Baker said.
Frankston City Council presented four motions at the Assembly, all of which were successfully supported:
• Increased attention on blockchain and cryptocurrency in local government
• Compensation for councils hosting citizenship ceremonies
• Decentralisation of Federal Government agencies and jobs to outer metropolitan and regional areas
