The state of our local Environment is critically important to those fortunate enough to live and work in the Frankston municipality.
Greening our Future Seminar
Recently Council hosted a Seminar where a range of high level subject experts presented their ideas on how GOOD the environmental future of Frankston City could look..........if we choose to make it happen that way. Presentations, discussion papers and a Question and Answer panel discussion hosted by Tracey Curro made for a fascinating and inspiring event.
If you missed the Seminar, you can still share the experience by reading the background papers prepared especially for Frankston City and our own specific locality and by reading a little about the speakers themselves.
Discussion Papers:
- Greening Our Future Discussion Paper - Dr Alan Pears
- Greening Our Future Discussion Paper - Dr Amy Hahs
- Greening Our Future Discussion Paper - Dr Peter Ellyard
- Greening Our Future Discussion Paper - Pro Tony Wong
- Greening Our Future Discussion Paper - Dr Peter Newton
