PEOPLE experiencing homelessness have been asked to move on from Olivers Hill.

Earlier this month, a man sleeping in his car at the base of Olivers Hill posted on the Frankston Noticeboard Facebook page that he and other rough sleepers at the site were being told to vacate by Frankston Council.

Last week, council confirmed in a statement that it had “been in discussions with those currently sleeping at the Frankston foreshore boat ramp and have liaised with local homeless support agencies to identify recommendations for alternate accommodation.”

“Those agencies, including Launch Housing, have visited the site, engaged with the community members, and are investigating suitable alternate options. As the community will appreciate, the boat ramp location is not suited to either short or long term settlement, for a number of safety reasons. Council has also been contacted by a number of community members concerned about the situation,” council said. “Services available to those experiencing homelessness in Frankston City include; emergency shelter, rooming houses, food and meals, help with bill payments and legal support, free clothing, health clinics, pet clinics, showers and laundry services.”
