ECONOMIC CORRIDOR The municipality has a thriving commercial and industrial sector with over 9,000 businesses employing approximately 65,000 people - making it one of Victoria’s busiest employment centres. With an estimated manufacturing output of around $10 billion per annum, Kingston is one of Victoria’s most important manufacturing centres. Areas of specialty include engineering, automotive, plastics and chemicals, food, metal fabrication, printing, aerospace and marine. Kingston also has a vibrant retail base with a mix of bustling shopping strips including Parkdale, Mentone, Mordialloc, Dingley Village and Chelsea, as well as large shopping centres such as Westfield Southland and Direct Factory Outlets. OUR HISTORY The City of Kingston was formed in December 1994 following the State Government’s major restructure of Local Government in Victoria. The new city was an amalgamation of all or parts of the former cities of Moorabbin, Mordialloc, Chelsea, Springvale and Oakleigh. At the time it was regarded as one of the most complex amalgamations in Victoria as it brought together such a diverse range of communities. In the intervening years the City of Kingston has developed into a vibrant and dynamic community. A new electoral structure for Kingston was announced in June 2007 and took effect following the Council elections on 29 November 2008. Under the new structure there are three wards - North Ward, Central Ward and South Ward, and three Councillors represent each ward. This brings the total number of Councillors to nine, instead of the previous structure of seven wards each represented by one Councillor. Mission OUR VISION A diverse, dynamic community where we all share a sustainable, safe, attractive environment and a thriving economy. OUR PURPOSE To work with the community to protect and enhance the quality of life for current and future generations. Products THERE'S MORE TO US THAN MEETS THE EYE!
