Here’s a great story…

We are the major partner of Frankston Dolphins Football Netball Club. This local club supports their players with a strong focus on personal development in a positive and inclusive environment. In 2024 their great club culture helped them to win the Southern Football League Premiership. We’ve also supported their home ground of Overport Park to install a new scoreboard.

We work with Mt Eliza Secondary College on a number of projects. In the past we’ve supported the development of their bush tucker and student wellbeing garden and each year we provide opportunities for students to attend leadership development camps.

We support a number of local cricket clubs, including Mt Eliza Cricket Club who are based at Emil Madsen Reserve. In 2023 they launched their pioneering women’s team. We're proud to support the club and the great job they are doing to get women and kids involved in local cricket.

We’ve been a long-term supporter of Peninsula Transport Assist. They provide community transport options for people who need help to get around.

The Mt Eliza Farmers Market is one of our most popular local events. Popping up on the village green on the fourth Sunday each month, the market brings Victorian farmers and food producers to town to sell their produce direct to the public. That helps all of us to support them and their regional communities. About 1000 people come through the gates of the market each month.

When there’s a fire in Mt Eliza, our local responders work to an incredible three minute local response time. This helps them save property and lives. Our funding enables the Mt Eliza Fire Brigade and CFA subscribe to specialised emergency services software so they can communicate with and mobilise their local volunteers quickly.

We’re delighted to be partners of the Mt Eliza Bowling Club, sponsoring them to run local bowling events and their annual Community Bowls Challenge.

Project Fresh Start provides free, healthy, plant-based food to the community and they are on a mission to educate people about healthy eating and living.

Their vision is to provide an environment where the young people of Mt Eliza and surrounds can develop life and sporting skills, and supporters and families can visit and feel at home.

Legacy is there for the partners and the children of those who gave their lives or their health for our country. Mornington Peninsula Legacy covers one of the largest Legacy footprint areas in the country.

They support around 700 widows of Australian Defence Force Veterans who live in our region (average age is 85-100 years).

The Last Litter Program run by the volunteers at Peninsula Cat Rescue Inc. makes sure that every cat has the opportunity for a loving home. We're really proud to support it.

This also helps manage overpopulation and environmental effects.
