Second Bay Trail stage done WORK on the second stage of the Bay Trail has been completed. Construction of the project between Naples Road in Mentone and Rennison Street in Parkdale was finished last month. The contract for that section of the trail was handed to CDN Constructors Pty Ltd in May 2019 at a cost of over $5 million.
The next stage of works will take the Bay Trail from Rennison Street to Mordialloc. The finished project will link a shared pedestrian and cyclist off-road path between Mentone and Mordialloc. A safety report ordered earlier this year by Kingston Council showed that there were seven reported inci-
dents related to the project (“Seven incidents during Bay Trail works, The News, 13/5/20).

multimedia artist Josh Muir, will be displayed at the centre. The artworks can be seen from the street front. Mr Muir said “I am a proud Yorta Yorta, Gunditjmara man. I hold my culture strong to my heart and it gives me a voice and great sense of my identity.” “I look around I see empires built on Aboriginal land. I cannot physically change or shift this, though I can make the most of my culture in a contemporary setting and my art projects reflect my journey,” he said. The Spirit Lines performance will stream on the FAC Facebook and YouTube pages from 7.30pm, 9 July. More information at thefac.com. au
