Frankston flora inspires artist’s sculpture A SCULPTURE inspired by the natural beauty of Frankston is on display. Kylie Stillman’s Manna Gum sculpture references the Coastal Manna Gum. She said that the aluminium artwork is “designed with the public in mind – a symbol of beauty and conceptual engagement that aims to unite the community by celebrating respect for the natural environment and hand crafted ingenuity.”
“I am excited to be able to share the completed project to a local audience and I feel extremely fortunate to live in a community that values creative industries and to receive support towards this project during such challenging times for us all,” she said. The scaled sculpture, now on display at Frankston Arts Centre, features horizontally placed panels that reveal a carved section of a miniature
potted native tree. A Frankston Council artist project grant helped fund the work. The artwork is on display until 19 March.

Process expands Community soccer road pavement match this weekend A PAVEMENT treatment process being used on the Golf Links Road Upgrade project is expected to save around 4000 cubic metres of pavement material. Crews are currently using a process called “foamed bitumen stablisation” on pavement for the road. The operation involves pulverising the existing pavement and mixing it with water, air and bitumen. The process is supposed to expand the material up to 10 times its original volume. The 4000 cubic metres of pavement material expected to be saved from landfill by using the process will be reused for the project down the line. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said that the state government is “working closely with Major Road Projects Victoria and construction partner, MACA, to employ more sustainable construction practices on the upgrades.” The Golf Links Road Upgrade is projected to be completed by 2023.
FRANKSTON Pines will play a challenge match against Victoria Police this weekend. The game kicks off at 10.15am at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve on Sunday, 20 March. The game will be followed by a presentation and BBQ lunch.
