Bayside City Council's Community satisfaction survey 2024 results released

Prehistoric Bayside, curated by palaeontologist Ben Francischelli, is a family friendly exhibition proudly presented by Bayside Gallery.

The annual Victorian Senior of the Year Awards celebrate the amazing contributions and achievements of older Victorians who generously share their skills, experiences, time, and energy with our community.

Bayside City Council has adopted a plan to conserve, manage and protect the Highett Grassy Woodland following extensive community consultation.

Bayside City Council is committed to protecting the public beach, heritage registered bathing boxes, dunes, aboriginal cultural heritage and remnant native vegetation.

We’ve created a wildflower meadow of indigenous vegetation by planting approximately 15,000 new plants and shrubs and 1,000 new trees at Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve. When the meadow opens in July, some areas will remain temporarily fenced to help the new plants and trees establish. There will also be netting to help protect aquatic plantings from the ravenous local ducks. New community facilities also opening in July include a covered shelter, picnic and barbecue facilities, as well as public toilets. This area, called the Community Edge, provides a comfortable place for visitors to relax and enjoy the wildflower meadow.

The pool will be closed between Tuesday 25 June and Thursday 27 June for essential repairs to the boiler.

New developments in Bayside will contribute 0.92% of the value of the project towards affordable housing under a new proposed contribution scheme that is the first of its kind in Victoria.

Over the past two years, the waste diverted from landfill has increased from 59% to 71%—that's an additional 8,300 tonnes of organic material turned into high-quality compost for our farmers.

We’ve installed a creative new landmark in the heart of Sandringham Village. The 2.5m wayfinding “Welcome Mosaic” greets commuters in front of the Sandringham train station and is created in the traditional smaller tesserae style (a mosaic style where small pieces of stone, glass, ceramic, or other hard material are cut into regular shapes and pieced together to create an image). Created by local artist Fabian Scaunich and supported by the Sandy Street Art Project and Sandringham Traders Association, the installation reflects a colourful, artistic map of Sandringham Village and the local foreshore.

Bayside City Council has adopted the 2024-25 Budget to reflect our commitment to delivering on the priorities of our community now and for the future.
