D.1 INTRODUCTION

This section of the MEMPlan outlines a description of the municipal area of Kingston to provide the reader with an

understanding of the topography, infrastructure, demography, economic and industry across the municipality.

The information contained in Section D is provided as a summary of the municipality as well as to assist

individuals, community, government agencies, support agencies, community groups, industry and Council to

consider these within their own resilience, emergency management and business continuity planning.

The reader is strongly encouraged to undertake their own research on a regular basis due to current and future

developments across the municipality.

D.2 DESCRIPTION OF MUNICIPALITY

The City of Kingston is a south-eastern metropolitan municipality of the Greater Melbourne area and is located

approximately 16km from its closest point to the Melbourne Central Business District and 36km from its furthest

point.

Kingston is approximately 91sq kms in

size with much of the municipality sandy

in nature, and forming part of the south-

eastern sand belt of the metropolitan

area.

The terrain is generally flat to slightly

undulating, with low-lying areas of the

former Carrum Swamp at the rear of

Aspendale, Chelsea and Carrum in the

southern area of the municipality.

These and other southern suburbs of

the municipality are susceptible to

flooding and pooling of flood waters

after heavy rains.

Major waterways include Patterson

River and Mordialloc Creek which are

fed by the Dandenong Creek

Catchment beginning in the Dandenong

Ranges to the North East flowing

through the municipality and

discharging into Port Phillip Bay at

Carrum and Mordialloc respectively.

These streams service a large portion of

the eastern side of metropolitan

Melbourne for drainage outfall.

The western boundaries of the

municipality begin at Nepean Highway

and South Road Moorabbin, down the

Frankston Stoney Point Rail line to Charman Road Cheltenham. South bound down Charman Road to Port Phillip

Bay Mentone then south covering some 13km for foreshore of Port Phillip Bay from Mentone Carrum in the south

of the municipality.




The northern boundaries are South Road Moorabbin in an easterly direction to Warrigal Road Moorabbin. North

up Warrigal Road to Centre Road Oakleigh South, then east along Centre Road to Westall Road Clayton South.

The eastern boundaries are south along Westall Road Clayton South to the Dandenong by-pass, south easterly

direction to Springvale Road Dingley Village/Springvale South, then south along Springvale Road to the

Mornington Peninsula Freeway Aspendale Gardens. Continuing in a southerly direction along the Mornington

Peninsula Freeway to the Eel Race Drain at Carrum.

The southern boundary is the Eel Race Drain in a westerly direction across Nepean Highway to the Foreshore

Reserve of Port Phillip Bay.

D.3 MUNICIPAL MAPS

Kingston Council Geographic Information System (GIS) is able to develop a wide range of maps suitable for use

for Council, the community and emergency management agencies. Relating to The Plan and emergency

management, the MEROs, MRMs, MEMCG, MEMPC and Emergency Management Coordinator may request

maps through the GIS Officer to assist in planning, responding, recovery or testing and exercising.

A range of maps are contained within this Section of The Plan which provide overviews of the municipality from

aerial photography, suburban boundaries, electoral boundaries, arterial and major roads, rail lines, Moorabbin

Airport, green wedge, foreshore, medical, educational, large water courses and land subject to inundation and

emergency markers as of October 2016.

These maps are provided as a guide for individuals, communities, organisations, industry and agencies to gain a

better understanding to assist in their mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery of occurring emergencies.

All maps are correct at time of inclusion into The Plan and will be reviewed and where required updated every

four years.

D.4 COMMUNITY AND POPULATION

Kingston is a growing diverse community with its current estimated resident population of 153,079 spanning

a wide range of ages, household types and cultures. Consistently growing around 1.5% per year over the

past 10 years, it is estimated based that by 2036 Kingston’s population is expected to reach 185,214 with an

anticipated 77,276 dwellings or around 2.4 people per dwelling.

The City of Kingston engages .idcommunity to compile data sets from the Australian Bureau of Statistics

Census to assist in community planning and development. The following graphs and images are compiled

from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data and listed on www.id.com.au/kingston.

Where possible, the data is compared against the Southern Metro Regional data, if not this is noted in the

graph legend: red (darker in mono) graphs represent the Kingston municipality and grey (lighter in mono)

graphs represent the Southern Metro Region of the Victorian Fairer Boundary.

POPULATION

The municipality of Kingston has seen steady and consistent growth of 1.5% for over a decade and the

following graphs shows the population growth from 2005 until 2015, percentage of population by age (5 year

increments) and break down of working age, employment status, gender, eligible voters and Australian

citizens compared against the Southern Metro Region.

Around 20,000 dwellings with the municipality house families with children,

ETHNICITY / CULTURE

Kingston is a culturally diverse city with residents from over 150 countries who speak over 120 languages.

While the population is predominately Anglo Saxon, 20 different nationalities have populations over a 1000

people living within the municipality. Planning considerations are taken into account for communities and

nationalities that visit the municipality for recreational use including the coastline.

The following graph provides the ancestry of the Kingston municipality.

Around 30% of Kingston’s population is born overseas, with 22% from non-English speaking backgrounds

including Greek, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan, German and Dutch societies. The

following graph shows the increase of residents by nation where the increase is over 100 people between

2006 – 2011.




English is the main language spoken within Kingston households with 71.3% only speaking English, 20.6%

speak another language as with speaking English well to very well, and 4% speak another language with

little or no English.

Greek is the second highest language spoken in the municipality with around 5%. Both Mandarin and

Punjabi are languages that have seen the biggest raise between 2006 and 2011 followed by Russian and

Hindi.

DWELLINGS

The Kingston municipality is a well-established community developed through the post-war era on traditional

large blocks of land. However, as demand and state building regulations change, the demand for land and

dwellings in communities close to services, recreational, industry and coastal locations has increased.

The following graph provides percentage by dwelling structure in comparison across the Southern Metro

Region in 2011.




D.5 VULNERABLE PERSON/S

Undertaking an assessment of risk (Section A.6 of The Plan) with the demographics within the municipality,

the level of vulnerable persons varies based on the incident.

However, the municipality in collaboration with agencies on the Municipal Emergency Management Planning

Committee (MEMPC), in partnership with Department of Health and Human Services and other stakeholders

maintains information on agencies that may be able to assist with, house through facilities as well as

community members whom are most at risk. This information may be used to support the most vulnerable

during an emergency incident within the municipality.

Facilities that house members of the community that could be deemed as vulnerable under funding

arrangements and or state and federal government regulations must have their own emergency

management plan. These plans, for the safety of all persons should be maintained, reviewed, tested and

updated on a regular basis by the facility operator.

While every person could be vulnerable in an emergency incident the Department of Health and Human

Services in Victoria has defined the following as a Vulnerable Person for inclusion in the Vulnerable Person

Register; a recommendation of the 2009 Bush Fire Royal Commission:

For the purposes of The Plan a vulnerable person1 is defined as someone living in the community who is:

frail, and/or physically or cognitively impaired; and is

unable to comprehend warnings and directions and/or respond in an emergency situation, and is

unable to, or has no family, friends or neighbours to help them develop an emergency plan,

or assist them during an emergency situation.

This information is updated regularly (every 6 months), and provides critical information for the municipality

and MEMPC agencies to work with and plan on providing assistance to those most in need at the time of an

emergency or require evacuation.

Government funded agencies manage their own client lists within the Vulnerable Persons Register (VPR)

and can only see their own agency’s information. Permission must be provided by the ‘client’ before a person

is entered onto the register.

Council will nominate personnel to be VPR Coordinators to assist funded agencies meet their requirements

and maintain the system.

The Vulnerable Persons Register may be used by Victoria Police to assist in prioritising emergency service

organisation resources to undertake evacuation activities during an incident. They may also, before the peak

season, check the register through contact with the funded agencies, council or the individual/s listed on the

register.

1 This can apply to clients of funded agencies and people not receiving services.




D.6 INFRASTRUCTURE

D.6.1 Rail Network

The Kingston municipality has two major commuter and transport rail lines running through the municipality.

The Frankston / Stoney Point Line runs through the western side of the municipality from north to south, for

the most part abutting the Nepean Highway. Eleven (11) railway stations are located within the municipality

as shown by the yellow dots on Map 2 of this section of The Plan. These stations run outbound (downside)

from the Melbourne CBD and include;

Moorabbin, Highett, Cheltenham, Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Aspendale, Edithvale, Chelsea,

Bonbeach, Carrum.

The second major line is located in a small area of the north-east area of the municipality. The Pakenham /

Gippsland rail line runs through the suburb of Clayton South with Westall station being the only station on

this line to sit within the municipality.

As of October 2016, there are 47 railway crossings (both road and pedestrian) within the municipality with

two thirds controlled by signals and boom gates. Works are underway by the Victorian State Government to

remove 7 of the road crossings within the municipality between 2015 – 2020.

Those planned for removal on the Frankston Stoney Point line include;

Charman Rd – Cheltenham,

Balcombe Rd – Mentone,

Edithvale Rd – Edithvale,

Station Street/Bondi Rd – BonBeach,

Station Street – Carrum,

Eel Race Rd – Carrum.

D.6.2 Road Network

The municipality road network is also used as a thoroughfare for commuters, visitors, industry and essential

services in the transportation to the Mornington Peninsula, bay foreshores and beaches plus light, medium,

major and food manufacturing in and surrounding the municipality.

Through state government regulations all sized vehicles can use state government roads (arterial roads)

through the municipality. This could see large B doubles, tankers and placard vehicles travel through the

municipality at any given time including those with various types of hazardous materials in various quantities.

Significant roads running through the municipality in a north/south and west/east direction these include:

Nepean Highway, Warrigal Road, South Road, Springvale Road, Edithvale Road, Wells Road,

Boundary Road, Lower Dandenong Road, Centre Dandenong Road, Clayton Road, Westall Road,

Old Dandenong Road, Dingley bypass, Mornington Peninsula Freeway, Keys Road, Heatherton

Road, Governor Road, McLeod Road, Thames Promenade, Beach Road, Kingston Road and

Chestville Road




D.7 Essential Services

The location of the municipality means that it is either at the end of essential service infrastructure or

infrastructure runs through the municipality for the wider metropolitan area.

Power sub-stations, gas and fuel pipelines, telecommunications, mains water and sewage pipelines all run

through areas of the municipality and have all been mapped and detailed on the state’s essential services

register.

It is a reminder for any person, contractor or developer to ensure they have all documents and plans

required so as to not disrupt any of these services for the wider community.

D.7.1 Drainage

Stormwater drainage within the municipality is managed by the City of Kingston and Melbourne Water.

Due to the flat and low nature of the area and to assist run off into Port Phillip Bay a number of retarding

basins are found throughout the municipality. These basins are owned and managed by either Melbourne

Water or the City of Kingston.

Mapping is undertaken by Melbourne Water and the City of Kingston to assist in planning developments to

reduce or mitigate flooding through major infrastructure works. These include a number of underground

retarding basins as well as pump stations installed within the municipality. They are managed by both the

City of Kingston and Melbourne Water and assist in managing extreme flood risks.

While this does not stop localised flooding, it does reduce the level of damage experienced during a

moderate, major and extreme flooding event.

Kingston City Council undertakes extensive surveys across the municipality on stormwater drainage which

provides the intelligence for Councils drainage strategy as well as sharing the data with Melbourne Water

and emergency service agencies.

Residents and visitors should undertake their own research to understand the level of risk of flooding they

may experience during periods of high rain fall across the whole catchment, including upstream in the

Dandenong Ranges.

The following map provides a municipal wide overview of Land Subject to Inundation and the Melbourne

Water main drainage system within Kingston.




D.7.2 Medical

The following hospitals and large medical centres are located within the municipality or close to its

boundaries:

Large medical centres located within the municipal boundaries are;

Como Parade, Parkdale (Como Private Hospital),

Warragal and Kingston Roads, Heatherton (Kingston Centre),

Central Bayside Health, Parkdale, Chelsea, Clarinda, Mentone, Cheltenham, Edithvale, Clayton

South (Day).

Major Hospitals in neighbouring municipalities include:

Dandenong Hospital,

Monash Medical Centre – Clayton Campus (Clayton),

Monash Medical Centre – Moorabbin Centre (Bentleigh),

Sandringham Hospital, Bluff Road Sandringham, and

Frankston Hospital, Hastings Road, Frankston.

Holmesglen Private Hospital, Holmesglen TAFE, South Road, Moorabbin

D.7.3 Industry

Considerable industry is within the municipality, mainly consisting of light-to-medium range manufacturing

and services predominately across Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Dingley Village, Mordialloc, Clayton South and

Braeside.

The City of Kingston and neighbouring municipality Greater Dandenong comprise the greatest concentration

of small-to-medium industry in the Melbourne region and the second largest in Australia (outside of

Brisbane). This brings a particular risk profile to the municipality with regard to industrial incidents and the

use of potentially hazardous chemicals and manufacturing processes.

Two of the largest Melbourne metropolitan waste transfer stations / landfill operations also operate within the

City of Kingston with another on its border in the north-east corner of the municipality.

With industry turnover of approximately $9.6billion GDR some 65,000 people work within the municipality.

The following graph provides a breakdown of the industry employment as of June 2016.




D.7.4 Major Hazard Facilities

The municipality of Kingston, using the Victorian WorkSafe definition of Major Hazard Facility, has no facility

required to be registered by WorkSafe as a Major Hazard Facility.

However, the municipality, and emergency service agencies work closely with a number of registered Major

Hazard Facilities in neighbouring municipalities. This work, with the assistance of the operators of those

plants, provides a better understanding of the risks as well as response activities required if an incident was

to occur.

A number of major facility operators sit on the Kingston Emergency Management Planning Committee to

assist in these planning considerations.

While no major hazards facilities are within the City of Kingston, due to the number of small-to-medium

industrial businesses across the municipality it is often difficult to identify all potential hazards due to

operators not declaring the storage of hazard materials in warehouses and storage facilities.

When this information does come to hand, Council and agencies may, under State and Council regulations,

prosecute those operators as well mapping those sites using Council’s IntraMaps program.




D.7.5 Landfill

A number of waste transfer stations / landfill operations are based within the municipality of Kingston.

A large regional municipal waste transfer station servicing most of the inner eastern and southern

municipalities is located in the north eastern area of the municipality.

Two of the largest public Melbourne metropolitan waste transfer stations / landfill operations also operate

within the municipality as does approximately half a dozen commercial / construction waste stations within

the same area of the municipality.

A number of ‘legacy’ landfills can also be found within the municipality which in partnership with stakeholders

are managed and monitored.

D.7.6 Agricultural Commodities

Due to the nature of the terrain within the municipality approximately 900ha within the boundaries of

Kingston is used for agricultural purposes. Around 50ha is used for vegetable growing for human

consumption and 846ha for livestock.

D.7.7 Fire Districts

Due to the nature of the municipality at the time of foundation, the City of Kingston has developed from bush

and swamp areas of the outer fringe of Greater Melbourne to a thriving municipality of residential, industrial,

commercial and recreational activities within the southern area of Greater Melbourne today.

This sees the Municipality covered by the two main fire services of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) and

the Country Fire Authority (CFA). In some incidents the two fire services will work together through their

interagency MOU.

The map following shows the areas the fire services jurisdiction, agriculture, Industrial zoning, commercial &

retail areas, wetlands, swamps and retarding basins and health services within the municipality.




D.8 EMERGENCY MARKERS

Emergency Markers are uniquely identifiable signs strategically placed in open space locations where clear

reference points are not available. Emergency markers were developed by Triple Zero (ESTA) in consultation with

Emergency Services Organisations (ESOs) and used by public asset owners.

Emergency markers enable the exact location of a Triple Zero (000) caller to be accurately identified. Markers are

more than just signs. They are supported by GPS co-ordinates and navigational data that assist in getting

emergency services to the public with minimal delay.

Emergency markers are considered by the public asset owners as part of their overall risk assessment process and

integrated into risk management strategies where applicable. It should be reinforced that emergency markers

serve to reduce response times in the event of community or a visitor emergency and subsequently act as a ‘risk

control’ by potentially reducing the consequence of an incident. They do not reduce the potential for community or

visitor incident in any way and should only be seen to compliment other appropriate risk controls

Emergency Markers consist of three letters and three numbers, with the letters indicating the asset owner or

location name. The following table provides an overview of the Alpha prefix that can be found throughout Kingston.

markers throughout Kingston.




D.9 BUSH / GRASS FIRE

While the Kingston municipality is mostly seen as an urban area, the municipality is covered by both the

Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) and the Country Fire Authority (CFA). As such the City of Kingston must

consider and act on all recommendations from the Bush Fire Royal Commission 2009.

A number of recommendations from the Bush Fire Royal Commission 2009 have a direct effect on local

planning and considerations to assist the community as well as the emergency services.

Through the Bush Fire Royal Commission the State of Victoria introduced a Bushfire Management Overlay

for fire prone areas state-wide. While this saw the whole state covered by the overlay councils, emergency

services and the state have taken a number of reviews and reduced the overlay where the risk is rated as

low.

However, while many within the community may not recognise a bush fire risk within areas of Greater

Metropolitan Melbourne there are many pockets that have a risk rating of medium or above and fall within

the Bush Fire Overlay.

The Fire Services Commissioner during 2012 undertook consultation with stakeholders and sought

submissions from council Building Surveyors and Municipal Fire Prevention Officers across the state to

review the Bush Fire Prone Areas and those findings were submitted to the State Government of Victoria for

approval.

On 2 August 2013 the State Government gazetted 3 areas that are zoned within the Bush Fire Overlay which

require special considerations and planning regulations.

These are The Grange Reserve – Clayton South, Braeside Park – Braeside and the Edithvale-Seaford

Wetlands – Aspendale Gardens, Chelsea Heights, Edithvale and Patterson Lakes.

These gazetted areas fall into the low bush fire rating category. Although the above areas have a low fire

rating these areas can still have major impact on life and property and all residents and visitors should have,

review and test their home and family emergency plan.

D.9.1 Neighbourhood Safer Places

A recommendation from the Bush Fire Royal Commission (2009) was that all councils within CFA districts

should investigate the need and develop Neighbourhood Safer Places. A review of the Bush Fire Risk, and

in consultation with the CFA, the City of Kingston does not require a Neighbourhood Safer Place as

described in the CFA Act.

D.9.2 Fire Management

The Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) respond to any fires located on the

Kingston Foreshore. As with any vegetated area, there is a potential risk of fires on the foreshore. In order to

ensure the safety of the public, Council, the CFA, and the MFB undertake annual audits to determine any fire

protection works required.

To protect properties which abut the foreshore between Aspendale and Carrum, Council offers a one metre

vegetation buffer along property boundaries. This vegetation buffer involves the removal of any shrubs and

trees to reduce the likelihood of fires damaging abutting properties.




Residents requesting a one metre vegetation buffer should contact Council’s Foreshore Coordinator via

Council’s Customer Service number 1300 653 356 for discussion, information and assessment.

Council, the CFA, and the MFB recommend that local residents have a current fire evacuation plan and

protect their properties by ensuring fire-prone furniture, such as wicker and plastic chairs and other fire fuels

are stored in a safe location on high fire risk days. The following map shows the fire services jurisdiction and

the 3 Bush Fire gazetted areas within the municipality.




D.10 COASTAL

The City of Kingston on its western boundary abuts the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay, with approximately

13 kms of coastal frontage which in the majority is an unbroken, sandy beach.

The foreshore can be separated into two key sections; Mentone to Mordialloc and Aspendale to Carrum

foreshores

The southern end of the municipality along this coastal stretch is low-lying and flat, with approximately 2

metres above sea level dune from beach to property boundary, increasing in height to approximately 19.5

metres above sea level at the northern end of the municipality.

Beach Road runs directly along the foreshore from Mentone south to Mordialloc Creek. South of Mordialloc

Creek to Carrum has residential property abutting the foreshore reserves with Nepean Highway, a natural

levee to inland suburbs of the municipality.

The foreshore is home to a wide range of plant species and various species of local and migrating fauna.

The foreshore supports many recreational activities attracting thousands of visitors every year.

The Kingston foreshore has been recognised as having high conservation values with the presence of local,

regional and state significant flora species.

Foreshore vegetation plays an important role in stabilising the dunes, providing habitat and a food source for

local and migrating fauna, and is aesthetically pleasing. The foreshore natural environment is managed by

maintaining and restoring biological diversity through the protection, maintenance and restoration of

ecological processes, indigenous flora and fauna communities, habitats and gene pools.

The Kingston foreshore is also susceptible to poor water quality from stormwater runoff after heavy rains,

from not only within the municipality, but also from surrounding municipalities. This includes the Dandenong

Ranges upstream of the municipality via four large Melbourne Water drainage outfalls, 58 local drainage

outfalls and both the Mordialloc Creek and Patterson River.

The Kingston foreshore is a community playground all year round that includes seven lifesaving clubs,

Carrum Coast Guard and two multipurpose boat ramps. Regulations are in place for dogs (see following

maps), and an area of beach in front of the Bay Street carpark Mordialloc before 10am is available for

horses. See the following maps for locations.

As detailed in D.8 of this Section of The Plan the foreshore is also serviced by emergency markers to assist

the community and emergency services when there are no distinguishable natural or man-made reference

points such as street names.

To assist in the community and visitors enjoying the coastal areas, Kingston has twenty nine (29) dog off-

leash areas across the municipality as well as regulations on pet owners who wish to use the beach with

their companion animals.

D.11 THE MOORBBIN (HARRY HAWKER) AIRPORT

Located in the geographic centre of the municipality, the Moorabbin (Harry Hawker) Airport is the third

busiest light aeroplane, and the busiest flight training, airfield in the country.

The entire airport precinct measures 294 hectares. It is bounded by Centre Dandenong Road to the north,

Boundary Road to the east, Lower Dandenong Road to the south and Grange Road and Bundora Parade to

the West.

The airport brings a large economic benefit across the municipality as well as increased considerations for

planning, development and recreational activities with significant flight paths over surrounding areas due to

the airports capability of landing corporate jets, turbo props, twin engine aircraft and rotary aircraft.

The 2015 Master Plan envisages:

On-Airport jobs growing from 3,300 to 8,500 over the next 20 years

Economic value increasing from $340 million to $825 million annually

$10 billion of economic activity over the 20 year period

Investment of $570 million in high quality facilities and infrastructure. This builds on the Airport’s

national and international reputation for flight training and aviation excellence.

A copy of the Master Plan is available on the Moorabbin Airport Corporation website.

A 3,000 square-metre plot of airport land has been allocated for a FareShare Community Garden, one of

metropolitan Melbourne's largest charity vegetable gardens, managed by Moorabbin Airport and FareShare.

Dozens of volunteers will construct scores of raised garden beds to grow a diverse range of vegetables

including pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower and capsicum. Up to 12 tonnes of vegetables will be grown annually

at Moorabbin Airport

Moorabbin Airport formed The Moorabbin Airport Community Aviation Consultation Group (CACG) which

meets quarterly and is comprised of representatives from peak community organisations, aviation, business

sectors and government. Community bodies and government agencies provide information to the CACG on

issues regarding aircraft noise management, flight paths, noise abatement procedures and safety measures

where applicable

Moorabbin Airport is also home to the Australian National Aviation Museum which boasts an incredible

collection of Australian and international aviation artefacts from aircraft, engines, early airline uniforms,

photographs and books, the museum is recognised as Australia’s only true National Aviation Collection.

Readers are encouraged to further research all regulations and requirements associated with the Federal

aviation requirements.




The following maps provide images of the Morrabbin Airport footprint.

D.11.1 Moorabbin Airport, Kingston and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (Drones)

The increasing popularity of recreational and commercial use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, Unmanned

Aircraft System (UAS), Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), (commonly known as drones) also

increases the level of risk within the municipality of Kingston with aircraft movement.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is the Federal Government agency responsible Australian Air

Space regulations and safety.

A number of regulations are in place for all users with heavy penalties in place for those breaching

regulations.

Detailed information can be found at https://www.casa.gov.au/aircraft/landing-page/flying-drones-australia

For the safety of aircraft and the community on the ground a use exclusion of a 5.5km radius of drones near

an airport is in place. The following map provides a 5.5km radius from the perimeter fence of the airport. This

image should be used as a guide only and you are accountable for knowing, understanding and following the

regulations governing the use of your craft.
