Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said “the Frankston Music Society is a wonderful organisation which for the last 50 years has been providing music for our local community. I encourage everyone to support them once performances restart.” “COVID-19 has been really difficult on our arts sector, I know this funding will help them to continue providing beautiful music”.

WORK is underway on a new outdoor play area at Seaford Park Primary School. The “sensory area” is part of $200,000 upgrade works at the school. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this new space will make such a difference to students at Seaford Park Primary School. They will get to enjoy and experience new and inclusive spaces that offer a wider range of options for teaching and learning.” “As we build the education state, we’re continuing to invest in amazing local schools just like Seaford Park to ensure students of all abilities can access a great inclusive education – whatever their circumstances,” she said.

Hard waste collections begin FRANKSTON’S hard rubbish collection got underway this week. Hard waste should be put out no earlier than the Saturday before pick up week. Anyone who puts their hard rubbish on the nature strip earlier risks incurring a fine for illegal dumping. Brochures will be sent out to residents two weeks before their collection date.
Hard rubbish should not exceed two metres across, one metre high, and one metre in depth. Frankston councillor David Asker says “residents can help us do the job as efficiently by neatly placing no more than two cubic metres of waste out for pick up, well out of the way of your bins.” “Scavenging is strongly discour-
aged, however, people may remove items if they have sought the permission of the resident. Please be mindful that we are still in a COVID-19 pandemic and some people may be uncomfortable with being approached regarding this request,” he said.
