THE new SES facility in Skye was officially opened last week. The Skye site will be used as a satellite facility by the Frankston SES. The project is part of a $125 million state government project to improve SES facilities across Victoria.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the Frankston SES said “this couldn’t have been a reality without the support from many.” “A huge thank you is needed to our fierce local advocate that we have in Sonya Kilkenny MP as well as Victoria State Emergency Service and last but by no means least, our SES Frankston membership. This facility will help us support the growing community in Skye, Carrum Downs and Sandhurst as well as help with volunteer recruitment and retention in the area,” it said.
