Councillor Colin Hampton was first elected to Frankston Council in August 1987 and represented Centre Ward until 1992. He was re-elected to North Ward from 1993 to 1994. This short term was the result of State Government's decision to disband elected councillors throughout Victoria and replace them with government appointed commissioners. Colin was again re-elected to Council for a three year term in November 2005, as one of three East ward Councillors. In November 2008, Cr Hampton was re-elected for another four year term and Mayor for 2009.

He and his wife Nancye have two adult daughters and a son. Colin has lived in the Frankston region since 1969 and has run a small business there for over 20 years.

A keen golfer, he is a member of the management committee of Centenary Park Golf Club, which is situated at Frankston Councils Golf course, Centenary Park.

Colin is currently on the following internal and external committees and associations:

• Association of Bayside Municipalities
• South East Mayoral Group
• Frankston Council Audit Committee
• Frankston Council Finance Sub-Committee
• Frankston City News Committee
• Frankston City Soccer Liaison Committee
• Langwarrin / Carrum Downs Residents Community Safety
• Water Action Group Committee

Councillor Hampton's main objective during his Mayoral term is to bring the newly elected Councillors up to date with the complex nature of Local Government.
