Next stage of Karingal Hub project complete THE second stage of the Karingal Hub Shopping Centre redevelopment has been completed. The new fashion and lifestyle shopping area was officially opened last week. It contains a TK Maxx, Cotton On Superstore, Pivot, Skechers, Sportsgirl, Bonds Outlet, Rivers, Jay Jays, Rockwear, and Sussan. There are now 2760 free parking spots at the shopping centre. Karingal Hub centre manager Catherine Polley said “we are so pleased with how our local community has embraced our revitalised, convenient offering and supported our fresh food
precinct retailers – a very welcome result in the current retail climate. The feedback we have received on Karingal Hub’s new look and format from both our existing and new retailers has been incredibly positive. “The fashion precinct builds on this momentum, providing a broader shopping experience that will later be complemented by a new Town Centre with entertainment, restaurant and dining venues. This redevelopment is rapidly advancing Karingal Hub, which has a rich history with the local Frankston and wider Peninsula community stores like Sussan have been a local
favourite here for over 40 years, along with local jeweller Hoskings, which has opened a brand-new store after 15 plus years in the centre.” The full $160 million Karingal Hub redevelopment is expected to be complete in 2022.

Sculpture park reopens THE McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park has finally reopened after a long closure period. The gallery once again opened its doors on 10 November after the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Gallery director Lisa Byrne said “McClelland is delighted to reopen its gallery doors. It’s time to reconnect with McClelland’s unique combination of art with nature – what better way to reinvigorate your senses?” “Our beautiful bushland setting is bursting with the joys of Spring, our sculpture park and gallery has exciting
new works for you to discover, and our café has been reconfigured for your comfort and pleasure, with a new seasonal menu and expanded shop area,” she said. “Bookings are open now so come and enjoy, welcome back, we’ve missed you.” The gallery is currently exhibiting works shortlisted for the Rick Amor Drawing Award, the Splash McClelland Contemporary Watercolour Award, and the Senini Award for Ceramics by tertiary students.
