Over the past 18 months, more than anything, we’ve missed social connections. And it’s fair to say we might have previously taken them for granted. Not anymore.
Great to catch up with my good friend Cr Steve Staikos, Mayor of Kingston, to celebrate Christmas Sicilian style.
Thank you to Circolo Pensionati Italiani di Oakleigh and Clayton for a lovely lunch and dance extravaganza!
Great night out with Deputy Mayor Tina Samardzija and Cr Nicky Luo celebrating cultural singing, dance and artistic works.
Looks like a great event!

Congrats you 2!! One of mine and Vikki Tough favourite restaurants to frequent whilst living in Heath St Port Melbourne for a number of years. Never had a bad steak ever....
Excited to join the inaugural group of students for the Integrated Practical Placement (IPP) at their graduation ceremony last week.
The placement program was the first of its kind in Australia; a collaboration between City of Monash, Monash Aquatic & Recreation Centre, Holmesglen and WISE Employment to help school leaves and young people with a disability gain qualifications and critical work experience in the sport, recreation and leisure sector.
It’s been an incredibly hard year for them to be studying due to the continuous lockdowns, but they’ve found a way through and should be extremely proud of their resilience, passion and persistence.
We’re already started planning for next year’s program. If you know someone who may be suited, reach out!
A phenomenal program and fabulous to see all the efforts student put in this year to reach their graduation. Congratulations.
This is why I love our community; how unbelievable is this?
After what we've all been through over the past two years, simple acts of generosity like this just warm your heart.
Well done Vikkie!

Hi everyone,
My name is Vikkie (AKA Mrs Claus 🤣🤣) and every year we decorate the outside of our house with Christmas lights. This year we thought we would do something special and added a North Pole letterbox to bring some joy to the local kids. There is a note on the letterbox advising kids that Santa will be writing back to every letter and wish list that is posted in this letterbox. We will then select three random children and post them a gift from their wish list. If you are walking past or driving past surprise the kids with the letterbox and have them send a letter to Santa and await his special reply.
Also if any local businesses would like to get involved and send a gift from one of the letters please PM me.

What a beautiful idea. So kind.🌲🌲🌲🎆

** SNEAK PEEK - FIRST CHILD & FAMILY HUB **
One of my main priorities when I became Mayor in 2019 was to increase funding to support young families.
Fast forward two years and I was incredibly excited to join Dan Andrews and Councillor Tina Samardzija for a tour of the newly constructed $4.5M Wellington Child and Family Hub in Mulgrave ($1M provided by the State Government)
The centre offers two kindergarten rooms, two maternal and child health consulting rooms, two consulting rooms for specialists and a community playgroup room, all in a state-of-the-art facility.
Incredibly proud of our team at the City of Monash for coming up with such an innovative concept.
We're already planning our next Child and Family hub in Pinewood right now, with one in Oakleigh South to follow!
Love this. Can’t wait to see Pinewood be transformed.
You are pretty amazing Mayor Stuart James it's very important that our local government is engaged with us and understands our needs and relate to us, and most importantly, to go out there and make things happen, and you deliver, thank you!
Looks amazing!
Victoria Chakkour… look familiar?

This park is just awesome. Heaps of equipment for the kids, a basketball half court and exercise equipment. Worth checking out.
