State Gov.funding not guaranteed for Frankston
Sports minister James Merlino was on SEN just before Frasers press conference and made it clear that the funding which was promised for the proposed Moorabbin development would not automatically be transferred to the Frankston development.
I believe the sticking point is community facilities such as the new pool and sports center which would have been used by the locals at Moorabbin.
Unless they are satisfied that Frankstons proposal will benefit the local community in the same regard then the $3.45 million is in no way set in stone.
Further meetings with St Kilda and the Frankston council should bring a response from the government within the next 7-10 days according to Merlino.

I personally wouldn't hold any of that against him...He is on SEN frequently and comes across as quite amenable.saintspremiers wrote:Have a look at this link.

I am not into sending emails to politicians but as his email address is included in that link perhaps a forum member could send a well worded email asking him if the State Governmant intends to derail the Saints over the Frankston move and post his response (if any) here ...

I doubt that there would be any problems - his department has to (be seen) to ensure they are covered on all angles when handling Government money. The way I see it politicians always get every eye dotted on the legitimate funding programs so they only have to deal the the feedback from illegitimate funded ones.

They want to the locals to KNOW where the money is coming from

Not guaranteed but revised. Will need to justify community benefit as most of the facilities were for the club and less for the community than Moorabbin(Merlino mentioned this).
Also I would think the local member for Bentleigh will also want some money for Moorabbin to clean it up. I would think this would be from the same pool of funds.
