An independent voice for the community

WORKS are underway to revamp the home of Seaford’s football, netball, and cricket clubs. The redevelopment of RF Miles Reserve, projected to cost over $9 million to taxpayers and ratepayers, kicked off 22 April. The completed project will feature a two-storey pavilion, a larger oval, a new netball court, and new cricket nets. Works on car parking and the addition of oval lighting, a scoreboard,
and a coaches box will also form part of the works. Seaford Football Netball Club president Dale O’Neil said “the club is very excited for the brand new pavilion and oval to be built. To have the availability for netball to train and play from the venue is something we couldn’t imagine happening without the assistance from the council, state, and federal governments.” Women’s team president Sheridan
Howe said “we have seen a growing number of women wanting to play at our destination club. I am looking forward to having female-friendly facilities at our home ground and can’t wait for the redevelopment to be finished.” RF Miles Reserve had been taken over by level crossing removal works, resulting in the Seaford Football Club playing home games at Belvedere Reserve.

FIVE drop-off points for packaged food have opened around Frankston. Food donations can be made at the Coles inside Karingal Village Shopping Centre, the Coles inside The Gateway Shopping Centre, Ritchies IGA in Seaford, Coles at Carrum Downs Plaza, and the level 1 information desk at Bayside Shopping Centre. The mayor Sandra Mayer said that food donated would be distributed to charities like Community Support Frankston. “These are difficult times and people in our community are doing it tough. Our wonderful volunteer groups are delivering food packages to the needy but are in short supply of certain items,” she said. “You can help by placing spare long life consumables, such as canned food and packets of pasta, in the bins provided. Please don’t make a special trip to the shops for the purpose of donating, rather keep it in mind if you are already making an essential trip. “Thank you all for the generosity you have already shown in supporting each other through this hard time. Your community spirit makes me even more proud to be the mayor of this city.”
