THE Bay Mob Expo will return to Nairm Marr Djambana this Friday.
The expo will showcase health, education, and wellbeing services available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Elder Helen Bnads, cultural lead at Peninsula Health, said “the Bay Mob Expo is a great example of the active and respected partnership between the local Aboriginal communities, Peninsula Health and other organisations of the south eastern area.”
“This free family event brings together health, education, sports, arts, government providers to share information about their services and to promote further Aboriginal safety, strong culture, strong peoples aspiration of self-determination.”

“WE are all connected to food that is local, healthy and abundant” is the ethos, or “Community Aspiration” of The Community Plate (TCP). This collective of Frankston and Mornington Peninsula people is working together to bring the best of the peninsula’s produce to the tables of everyone.
Over an 18 month period TCP held discussions with a wide range of interested parties to develop an authentic, local vision that will guide all of its future work.
Community Plate’s Rodney Mackintosh said: “We spent a lot of time ensuring that we got our Community Aspiration right.
