Learn some super circus skills KIDS at the Frankston Arts Centre will leave with a few more tricks up their sleeves this school holidays. Leading circus company Circa will host circus workshops at the Arts Centre next month. From 3 July to 8 July. Circa’s Danger Club students will work together to create and perform while exploring the art of danger. Teenager Teagan signed up for Danger Club after training with the former Hip Cat Circus Program out of Frankston Arts Centre. “I like circus because it gives me a way to express myself. I have missed performing during lockdowns and am looking forward to being onstage again soon,” Teagan said. While Circa is in town, its performers will also put on a show. Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus will be performed at the Arts Centre on 8 July. The show features acrobats and musicians, and is designed for all ages. Circa’s Danger Club class series costs $75 and includes a ticket to the show. Places must be booked by 18 June at artscentre.frankston.vic.gov. au/Whats-On/Classes-Workshops/ Danger-Club-by-CIRCA.

Taking out the trash Playne Street FRANKSTON’S hard rubbish collection for 2021 has been completed. The 2021 collection started on 19 April, and wrapped up on 28 May. 4624 tonnes of scrap steel, garden waste, e-waste, fridges, mattresses, and hard waste were collected during the six weeks. 200 fridges, 8617 mattresses, and 751 tonnes of scrap metal were distributed to local recycling facilities. 117 tonnes of garden waste was processed into compost for farmers. Frankston deputy mayor Nathan Conroy said “it was pleasing to see how well residents presented their items for collection at the right time and in the right quantities. This helped us achieve our goal of diverting recoverable waste streams from landfill.”

plans in motion Continued from page 1 The former Frankston Council rejected plans to construct a 14 storey tower at 35 Playne Street which would have featured 11 student rooms, 77 apartments, social housing, and privately run businesses (“Building plans sent back to the drawing board”, The Times, 29/7/19). The old plan was labelled “not appropriate” due to its height, proposed to be nearly 43 metres. The site is the former home of BRAAAP Motorcycles, which operated there for 10 years. Frankston Council’s report assessing the new plans read “the development could provide additional supply chain and consumption benefits of $35.72 million and direct, supply chain and consumption jobs of a total of 168.”
