THE future of Frankston Council’s family violence prevention initiatives is under consideration.
A proposal was raised for this week’s council meeting asking for a review into whether the current funding levels for family violence initiatives are adequate. The motion, raised by Cr Kris Bolam, read there has been “no funding uplift” for family violence measures “since 2022”.
“Council requests a report to the September 2026 Council Meeting assessing the current approach to family violence amelioration and identifying opportunities to enhance service effectiveness,” the motion read. “The report is to outline evidence-based options and recommended next steps to strengthen outcomes, including any proposed service improvements, partnerships, or delivery models.”
The matter was scheduled for Council’s 13 July meeting, which took place shortly after publication deadline.
