Statement from Frankston City Council Mayor Nathan Conroy

Published on 04 December 2023

It is with deep sadness that we honour our Federal Member for Dunkley, Peta Murphy MP, following the news of her passing.

On behalf of Frankston City, I share our sincere appreciation for Peta’s fierce determination and dedication to deliver the best for our community.

As our local Federal MP, we were fortunate to work closely with Peta on numerous projects. Going ‘above and beyond’ to advocate for Frankston City was in Peta’s DNA – she was both fearless and tireless in delivering for her community. We will also miss her smile, compassion, wit and warmth.  

Peta’s passing diminishes us all – yet she has also left a rich and lasting legacy that will stand the test of time.

RIP Peta Murphy MP – you’ve done us all proud.
