Council calls for rail trench review

Kingston councillors voted to call on the state government to reconsider the rail-under-road plan.

KINGSTON Council is leading renewed calls to rework a planned level crossing removal on the Frankston line.

The state government is planning to remove the Groves Street, Aspendale level crossing by building a rail trench. At their most recent meeting,

Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said that building rail-over-road to replace the level crossing instead would “deliver better outcomes for the Aspendale community, local businesses and the environment.”

“Our role is to speak up for our community and advocate for the best possible outcome for Aspendale,” Cr

Oxley said. “Since this project was first announced, we’ve had the benefit of seeing how other level crossing removals have transformed neighbouring communities and we’ve heard overwhelmingly from local residents about what matters most to them. That’s why we’re calling on the Victorian Government to collaborate with council and reconsider the current approach, and seriously examine a rail-over-road solution that

would better connect our community, create valuable public space and deliver lasting benefits for Aspendale.”

Level crossing works have been a frequent fixture along the Frankston line, with the state government planning to make the railway line level crossing-free by 2032. Most recently trains began running to a newly opened Mordialloc Station via the rail bridges over McDonald Street in Mordialloc, and Station Street in As-

pendale.

Cr Oxley said “having experienced more level crossing removals than any other council we know they are about much more than transport infrastructure. They are once-in-ageneration opportunities to improve how people move through a neighbourhood, strengthen local shopping areas and create better public spaces for the community to enjoy.”

Exhibition showcases First Nations art

AN exhibition showcasing First Peoples’ art is opening at the Kingston Arts Precinct for NAIDOC Week. The Water Bodies exhibition will showcase pieces exploring the significance of water, climate change, Country and culture. Artists featured in the exhibition include Nici Cumpston, Mandy Quadrio, Auntie Netty Shaw, Aunty Dyan Summers, Judy Watson, and Lisa Waup. NAIDOC Week runs from 5 July to 12 July, with this year’s theme “50 Years of Deadly”. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “the exhibition is an important part of Kingston’s NAIDOC Week program.”

“Arts and culture help bring people together, and exhibitions like Water bodies give our community the opportunity to engage with different stories and perspectives,” Cr Oxley said. “As a council, we’re proud to support opportunities for First Peoples’ voices and experiences to be shared and celebrated.

“Water bodies showcases the work of outstanding First Peoples artists while highlighting the deep connections between water, Country and culture. I encourage our community to visit the exhibition and experience these powerful artworks for themselves.”

The exhibition will feature photography, moving image, weaving, printmaking, sculpture, and textiles. The artworks will explore waterways, the changing conditions of the Birrarung and Barka river systems, the decline of southern ocean kelp forests, and the impacts of flooding events and changing conditions on local waterways.

Water bodies opens at the Kingston Arts Precinct in Moorabbin on 3 July, and closes 29 August. Entry is free.

Rail project must leave ‘positive legacy’

Continued from page 1

“Based on what we’ve heard from residents and what we’ve learned from other projects, we believe a rail-over-road solution offers the greatest opportunity to achieve those outcomes. It would better connect people to local shops and the beach, create new public open space, improve walking and cycling links and avoid some of the challenges associated with building a trench in a low-lying coastal environment,” Cr Oxley said. “The Victorian Government has an opportunity to work with us and deliver a project that not only removes a level crossing but leaves a positive legacy for Aspendale for decades to come.”

Kingston Council undertook community consultation on the Groves Street level crossing plans earlier this year. A statement from Kingston Council read that “consultation attracted more than 540 submissions, with 76 per cent of respondents favouring a rail-over-road solution.

“The feedback highlighted the community’s desire to maintain strong connections between the shopping village, beach and lifesaving club, while creating more open space, improving pedestrian and cycling access and protecting Aspendale’s coastal character.”

Council by-election candidates confirmed

THIRTEEN candidates have nominated to contest the upcoming Kingston Council byelection.

The by-election will fill the vacancy in Melaleuca Ward.

‘Contentious’ council grant cancelled

Brodie Cowburn

brodie@baysidenews.com.au

A HEAVILY scrutinised grant awarded by Kingston Council to the Druze Community Charity of Victoria will not be paid out in full.

The previous Kingston Council awarded $75,000 over three years to the Druze Community Charity of Victoria to stage events. The grant was subsequently criticised, as the Druze Community Charity of Victoria is headquartered outside the Kingston municipality. Cr Hadi Saab, who de-

clared a conflict of interest and left the room when the grant was awarded, was sitting on the committee of the Druze group at the time.

At their most recent meeting, Kingston councillors considered their 202627 Community Festival, Events & Creative Activities Grant funding allocations. A report prepared by council officers read that “one grant has been closed and therefore the remaining payments (2025/26 and 2026/27) will not be released.” It was revealed at the meeting that the Druze Community Charity of Victoria was the organisa-

tion affected.

The 2023/2024 allocation of $25,000 was paid out, the funding allocation read.

Cr Caroline White, who has previously led efforts to cancel the grant, said “considering the backlash that his grant received from our community, this moment should be something to be celebrated, and it’s not. Because in true Kingston Council style it’s another local issue of significance getting shoved under the rug.”

“Buried deep in this item is a contentious issue, one of national public

interest, that’s garnered dossiers of media attention. Some might say it put Kingston on the map, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. However you’d only know it was in there if you’d emailed council to inquire to confirm,”

Cr White said.

“This grant has to be the poster child for Labor’s arrogance during the height of the Andrews-Allan era.

“I’m really happy we are getting the money. $50,000 is a lot of money that can feed a lot of people that need food in our community.”

All present councillors with the ex-

ception of Cr White, who abstained, voted to note the funding allocation prepared by council officers. Cr Saab declared a conflict of interest and left the meeting prior to the debate and vote.

After the election of a new Kingston Council in 2024, multiple attempts to rescind the grant have failed (“Plan to cut grant fails” The News 22/2/2026). The grant process was also referred to the Local Government Inspectorate for investigation, although it ultimately did not take action (“No watchdog action on grant” The News 29/10/2025).

Police make drug bust

POLICE say they have seized $200,000 worth of ketamine during a Carrum raid.

Police raided a Carrum property on 19 June, where they allegedly seized firearms, knives and more than $200,000 worth of ketamine. In a statement, Victoria Police said “a search of the residence uncovered the quantity of alleged ketamine, suspected cocaine, two firearms, two imitation firearms, a machete, illegal knives, various prescription medications and tens of thousands of dollars in cash.”

“The three-month investigation culminated in the arrest of a man and execution of a warrant in Carrum,” Victoria Police said.

A 25-year-old Carrum man was charged with traffick large commercial quantity of ketamine, traffick cocaine, possess prescription medications, traffick firearms, possess firearms and imitation firearms, possess prohibited weapons and possess proceeds of crime. He was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 22 June.

Contract extended for council CEO

KINGSTON Council has reappointed its CEO for a further four years.

Council CEO Peter Bean was appointed to the role in 2021 after former CEO Julie Reid departed with two years left to run on her contract. Last week, Kingston councillors voted to extend Bean’s contract by four years with an option for an additional year.

Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said that Bean has been “an outstanding CEO for Kingston. He brings a calm, steady head, a wealth of experience and a genuine commitment to our community.”

“The past few years have brought both significant achievements and real challenges. Throughout that time, Peter has provided strong leadership and sound advice, helping council navigate increasing financial pressures while keeping our focus firmly on the community,” Cr Oxley said. “Under Peter’s leadership, Kingston has remained focused on listening to our residents, delivering the services and infrastructure they rely on, finding smarter and more efficient ways to work, and planning for our city’s future.

Council is delighted to extend Peter’s contract, and I’m personally looking forward to continuing to work closely with him as we build on the great progress that has been made.”

Bean has overseen Kingston Council during a difficult period; two state government appointed monitors have been reporting on the council, with their stay scheduled to conclude this week. After the announcement of his contract extension, Bean said “I am very proud to continue as CEO and to keep working alongside council to deliver for our community.”

“Kingston is a fantastic place with a very bright future, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to invest in the services, facilities and initiatives that matter most to our residents,” Bean said. “I would like to thank the mayor and councillors for

cated and talented team. The achievements of recent years have only been possible because of the passion, professionalism and commitment of Kingston’s staff, who work every day to make a positive difference in our community.

Blues basketballer ready for next step

A DECADE of mentorship and memories playing basketball in Frankston have helped prepare a young gun for her debut on the world stage.

Former Frankston Blues junior Bonnie Deas has been selected to represent the Australian Opals in an upcoming series against China. The 20-year-old is set to make her senior debut for the national side in front of friends and family in Melbourne.

Frankston-born Deas said her coaches and friends at the Blues have helped set her up for success.

“I started playing for Frankston Blues at age seven, and played with them through to under-18s bottom age. I loved my time at Frankston, I developed so well, I had some great coaches, and I never really thought about leaving the Blues,” Deas said. “Kerryn Mitchell was my very first coach, and really helped me on the development side. Adam Kerr was great as well; they were my two most influential coaches.”

After a stint at the Centre of Excellence and Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, selection for Australia’s junior teams helped set up the next stage of Deas’ journey. She said “I was lucky to represent Australia at junior level, because that’s where colleges look at you. I got recognition, which influenced me to play college basketball.”

Deas traveled to the United States to play basketball in Arkansas for her freshman year, before moving to University of California, Los Angeles for her sophomore year.

Deas said she was overjoyed that her hard work was rewarded with a call-up to the Australian Opals. “I was cleaning up in my room and I got a call from a random number, and it turned out to be Sandy Brondello, the head coach of the Australian Opals team. I was told I’d be representing the Opals in the campaign coming up, which has been a dream of mine for the longest time. I’m so grateful, I will learn a lot from the girls and be a sponge,” she said.

“To wear the Australia jersey in Australia, and to have my parents, friends, and past coaches able to watch me, is honestly great. I’m really glad to be playing at home.”

Deas is joined in the national team by another former Frankston Blue, Steph Reid.

The Opals will play China in a twogame series at John Cain Arena on 7 and 9 July.

It’s set in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, an archipelago off the coast of Newfoundland with an exceptionally low crime rate in real life. That’s not the case here, with the local constabulary drafting in a pair of outsiders. Enter Parisian cop Geneviève “Arch” Archamboult (Death in Paradise alum Joséphine Jobert, right) and exiled Newfoundland inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (Allan Hawco), whose sparring dialogue and bristling chemistry fuel this drama.

An echo from The Great War

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

MRS. Peebles has received word that her eldest daughter, Gladys, who left Australia on May 15, 1915, to “do her bit” in the Great War, is returning home early in July on the “Pakeha” with her husband and children.

Nurse Peebles went on duty on July 1, 1915, and “carried on” all through those strenuous years.

She joined Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Staff, and at the time of the signing of the Armistice had attained the rank of Sister.

Leave was rare and scanty over there, but there are many of our returned men who met her there, and will be pleased to see her home again. ***

Frankston to Mornington

At the monthly meeting of the Mornington Progress Association communications were read from the Frankston, Baxter and Moorooduc Progress Associations, expressing their willingness to co-operate in working to secure electrification.

Mr. Linley said that Mr. Clapp had informed them he was putting on a deluxe bus from Melbourne to Portsea, but there was little hope of electrification of Mornington line.

Mr. Berry advocated continuing the agitation for electrification. They should not let the matter drop, as electrification was essential to the progress of the Peninsula. The line should be along Pt. Nepean Road.

Mr. Gill considered it would be hopeless to induce the Commissioner to build a new railway along Pt. Nepean road. If the electrification of the present line would not pay what hope was

there for the other? If the railway were continued on throughout the Peninsula, Mornington would go down, for it would not then be a terminus.

Mr. Linley: Mr. Clapp was inquiring into the possibilities of the Peninsula, and had asked would the landowners contribute to the line from Frankston along Pt. Nepean road. He did not think so – they were out to sell their land at a higher price.

He also intimated he was going to raise fares and freights. The only thing to do was to support the bus services as the rail fares were iniquitous.

Mr. Berry asked if it would not be better to go to the Railways Standing Committee? It was in their power to authorise new lines.

Mr. Frean considered electrification would have to come, if only to compete against the motors. Until the Commissioners woke up they would continue to lose business.

Mr. Berry said it would be a paying concern to come round the beaches where the country was being opened up. He believed the landowners would give the land.

Mr. Linley said that on the recent deputation he had compared Mornington with Hurst Bridge and Altona – two out of the way places. He had pointed out that the Peninsula was the playground of Melbourne as a seaside resort, but why Mr. Clapp would not electrify the line he did not know. He believed that the motor bus services would be utilised for the Peninsula. They had moved him before by putting on a motor service.

Opposition on the roads was the only thing to move him again.

Mr. Silling said Mr. Clapp ‘was not the “power.” The Railways Standing Committee were the people to approach. In his opinion Mr. Clapp was driving away trade by raising freights and fares. Road opposition was the only thing to move them.

Messrs. Rider and Sexton moved that letters be sent to the Baxter, Moorooduc and Frankston Progress Associations and Traders’ Association stating they would be glad to cooperate towards obtaining electrification and welcoming their assistance.

Juvenile Ball - A successful function

The juvenile ball held in the Palais on Friday night last, under the auspices of the Frankston High school Welfare League, was as usual a huge success. “The best for years”, was the verdict of a large number of those present.

It certainly was one of the most brilliant and successful functions ever held in Frankston.

The hall was artistically decorated and the floor for dancing was in excellent condition. The scene presented was decidedly a gay one.

The large and merry throng of children and adults danced to the strains of delightful music supplied by the “Ballacrane” orchestra.

The juniors had the floor for dancing and games up till 10pm and carried out a programme which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Mr. W. J. Bishop, headmaster of the High school, and Cr. J. Bradbury had arranged the programme and acted as M.C.’s.

The fancy dresses of the children lent a touch of carnival to the scene, and

PUZZLE ZONE

many pretty and effective costumes were noticed.

The grand march excited special interest. Cr. J. Bradbury marshalled the children most effectively, the little tots in front being followed by the older children.

A sumptuous supper was provided by the ladies, and the delicacies handed out were heartily appreciated.

The High School Welfare League should feel gratified at the excellent response of members and their friends, and the arrangements generally which was all that could be desired.

Mrs J. Bradbury, the president, and Mr C. Lovitt (hon. sec.) with the enthusiastic endeavours of the committee worked hard to ensure success, and the careful attention to all details helped to make the evening pass pleasantly. The function both financially and socially was a huge success. ***

A Gentle Reminder

Public men nowadays are kept fairly busy obeying the numerous calls made upon their time in attending meetings of various organisations and assisting in movements for the betterment of the town and district; necessarily the pleasures of home life are considerably curtailed.

The man probably only remembers this hardship when he is reminded of it.

The wife and family, however, have to bear the brunt. They patiently keep the home fires burning, against the time when “dad” realises that he is one of the family circle and not a mere boarder.

The other day one of our best known councillors, who is well known in

Frankston for his conscientious attention to public affairs, although not resident in the town, noticed a neatly addressed envelope on his breakfast table.

On opening it he found it was an invitation from his wife “to kindly honor her by spending that evening at home with the family.”

Who is going to blame that councillor if he immediately went to the phone and rang up the secretary of a Frankston institution to say that owing to a very severe attack of the flu he would not be present at the meeting that night?

***

PERSONAL

Mr James Peebles, who was knocked down by a motor car last Thursday evening and left unconscious on the road, is well on the road to recovery.

The accident happened near Fiocchi Avenue, near Dr. Johnson’s, who quickly attended to his injuries.

Mr. W. S. McCarthy, of the Bay View Hotel, Frankston, returns home tomorrow (Saturday) from a month’s holiday spent in Western Australia.

We regret to state that Master Bevan Bradbury, youngest son of Cr. and Mrs. Bradbury, is at present very ill, and is being attended to by Dr. Johnson.

Mrs. L. Street, while riding a horse on Wednesday last, met with a painful accident. The animal stumbled and threw Mrs. Street to the ground. She sustained a cut on the head and other injuries, which necessitated her receiving medical attention.

Peninsula Dolphins caught by Eagles

LEAGUE

RUGBY

By David Burke

LAST Saturday afternoon (27 June)

the Peninsula Dolphins third grade men’s side played against the Hume Eagles at the home of the Eastern Raptors rugby league club in Boronia.

Situated at the foot of Mt Dandenong the fog rolled in early making for a cold afternoon with a slightly eerie setting.

The game was a tight contest that really opened up for the Hume Eagles late in the second half.

The final score was 26-16.

The game saw the Dolphins men’s side slip to second place on the ladder behind the Waverley Panthers heading into the bye next week.

The bye has come at a good time, with new players in the squad it will give the team a chance to work on combinations and defensive structure as well as giving the team a well earned break.

Despite the loss the commitment

the team has displayed week after week will leave them feeling positive heading into the week off.

The senior team has also shown commitment to the Dolphins under 12s team, showing up in numbers to help train them for at least one training session a week.

The positive energy they bring to the kids has been great with the junior side growing in strength, confidence and ability every week.

The coaching staff and trainers are extremely grateful to the senior team for the positive energy and “can do” attitude they display.

The kids love to show their appreciation by turning up to watch their senior mates play making the club a unique family environment.

In other Dolphins news the women’s over 16 tag side played the Waverley Panthers on Sunday afternoon (June 28) at Fregon Reserve in Clayton.

With conditions that were in stark contrast to the men’s game a day

earlier the sun was shining with very little cloud and no breeze making it an ideal day to play rugby league.

The women’s senior team faced what has become their biggest rival in the Waverley Panthers women’s team who have now beaten the Dolphins for the second time this season.

It was another close contest with the Dolphins pushing the Panthers all the way, however the Panthers started etching away late in the game to seal the win 20 points to 10.

The Dolphins women’s team are benefiting a lot from playing the top teams of the competition working out as a new team in the league what it takes to be up there consistently.

The game finished and both teams gathered in a circle to show mutual respect and friendship for each other.

The day ended with smiles because you can see these two teams really enjoy playing against each other.

There was also a friendly vow from the Dolphins girls to get them next time.

Scoreboard

Local trio in promotion push

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

IN A miserable weekend for local clubs there were just four winners from round 13 of the State league season – Chelsea, Seaford United, Mount Eliza and Aspendale.

Three of them are mounting serious promotion campaigns while Seaford is hopeful of finishing the back half of the season in style.

Chelsea is in second spot in State 4 just four points behind Springvale City and maintained its promotion momentum with Saturday’s 3-0 away win over Ashburton United.

Chelsea came out of the blocks flying on Saturday and was three up after 23 minutes.

Adam Dunsford struck first with a point-blank finish following a corner in the 3rd minute.

Liam Burford made it 2-0 in the 14th minute when he skinned two opponents and scored from close range and Nathan Boccari made it 3-0 in the 23rd minute when he surged forward from midfield then hammered home a strike from outside the area.

Chelsea will miss Burford for a couple of games as he flies back to Scotland to get married.

Chelsea rival Baxter lost 2-0 away to Kings Domain in a match that never reached great heights.

In State 5 Seaford United claimed its fourth scalp of the season with Saturday’s 3-1 victory at home to title challenger Monbulk Rangers.

Seaford got on top early and an audacious volley attempt by Dylan Waugh from distance rattled the post.

Monbulk fell behind when right back Liam Maunder headed an own goal in the 12th minute and in the 27th minute it was 2-0.

Conor Mcfall’s through ball found Matt Cobb on the left and his cross was headed home by Waugh.

Monbulk hit back in the 69th minute when Seaford keeper Hayden Hicks lost sight of the ball with the sun in his eyes and it sailed over his head and into goal.

But the home side would not be denied and it restored its deserved two-goal cushion in the 72nd minute when Zain Ahmad pounced on a loose pass and ran through to convert from a one-on-one.

Fellow State 5 outfit Somerville Eagles lost 3-1 at home to Sandown Lions on Saturday with Joe Hitchcock scoring for the locals.

In State 6 Mount Eliza had to wait late to overcome visitor Pakenham United 2-0 on Saturday.

Billy Gowans broke the deadlock in the 79th minute after Pakenham failed to properly clear a corner.

Multiple ricochets ensued until the ball fell to Gowans on the edge of the box and he volleyed it neatly inside the far post.

Seven minutes later Josh Luca controlled a lobbed ball from the left then struck it into the bottom far corner for the sealer.

Still in State 6 Frankston Pines lost 2-1 at home to Whitehorse United while Mentone lost 1-0 away to Old St Kevins.

Pines were 2-0 down before a late reply from Kenny Akalan.

Naseer Mohammad beat his man on the left of the box and pulled the ball back for Akalan to take a touch then wrongfoot the keeper.

Despite one of its better performances this season Mentone lost its 13th straight game and to make matters worse had Alex Mallamaci and Luka Varga red carded in the last 10 minutes.

Aspendale became the only State 7 side to do the double against league leader Noble Suns when it travelled to Norman Luth Reserve on Friday night and earned a deserved 2-1 victory.

Jason Grieve’s men are fourth and their first target is to chase down second-placed Keysborough.

Two minutes into the second half it was Hodder at the double with a near identical run and finish.

The Suns could only offer a converted penalty from Thanasi Zervos in reply.

“Beating the league leader for the second time this season proves that we can beat anyone on our day and creates a belief that we can be in the promotion mix,” Grieve said.

“It’s now about finding the consistency to go on a winning run and there’s no reason why we can’t do that.”

The other local State 7 side in action last weekend was Mount Martha who lost 3-0 at home to Lilydale Montrose United.

In State 1 Mornington hit a major bump on the promotion road with Saturday’s 4-1 loss away to Boroondara Eagles while Skye United gained no traction in its fight to avoid the drop losing 2-1 at home to Doveton.

Mornington went behind in the 13th minute when Daniel Agius delivered a deep cross that evaded everyone leaving goalkeeper Kane Runge rooted to the spot as it found the back of the net.

The home side doubled its advan-

tage in the 32nd minute when another dangerous cross into the box found Aden Grganovic and his glancing header into the bottom corner made it 2-0.

When Jacob Colosimo was left unmarked at the back post in the 78th minute and his header made it 3-0 the contest was effectively over.

The Seagulls responded four minutes later when Nathan Sim powered home a well-taken header but Aaran Morris sealed their fate in the 87th minute heading home from a corner.

Mornington has to bounce back and make the most of its games in hand if it is to stay in the title race and this weekend it faces a challenging away clash with league leader South Springvale.

There is concern over the fitness of leading scorer James Kelly who was forced off against Boroondara with a slight hamstring injury while Kieran Dover remains suspended.

At Skye Recreation Reserve on Friday night Marcus Spivey lashed home a loose ball in the 17th minute to put the home side ahead but a second-half brace from Doveton’s Sam Maggs sealed Skye’s fate.

One positive to emerge from the game was the return of Skye keeper Steve Hadjikakou after his ACL injury in the final game last season.

In State 2 Peninsula Strikers lost 5-1 away to Brandon Park on Friday night.

It was a fog-plagued clash with the assistant referees unable to see the far side of the pitch for much of the match so offside decisions were problematic.

Strikers’ only joy was to open the scoring through Oscar Colgate-Jones in the 25th minute in a move initiated by Matt Harrington and involving Riley Anderton.

Colgate-Jones ran onto Anderton’s long diagonal pass in behind the defence and although pressed all the way he unleashed a right-foot strike from the top of the box that hit the target.

The home side levelled in the 29th minute and by half-time had established a two-goal cushion.

Two more goals in the second half completed a dismal night for Strikers who have leaked more goals than any other side in the league.

'Water bodies' exhibition

KINGSTON Arts presents Water bodies, a major exhibition of contemporary First Peoples’ art exploring the significance of water, climate change, Country and culture.

Presented across the Kingston Arts Precinct in Moorabbin from 3 July to 29 August, the exhibition features artworks by Nici Cumpston (Barkandji people), Mandy Quadrio (Trawlwoolway, Laremairamenner), Auntie Netty Shaw (Trawlwoolway, Tyereelore, Bunurong), Aunty Dyan Summers (Bunurong, Bass Strait Islander, Trawlwoolway), Judy Watson (Waanyi people), and Lisa Waup (Gunditjmara, TSI).

Through photography, moving image, weaving, printmaking, sculpture, textiles and new commissions, the artists share diverse perspectives on water and its importance to First Peoples communities.

The exhibition forms a key part of Kingston's recognition of NAIDOC Week and this year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly, which celebrates five decades of recognising and elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, culture and achievements.

Mayor Georgina Oxley said the exhibition was an important part of Kingston's NAIDOC Week program.

"Arts and culture help bring people together, and exhibitions like Water bodies give our community the opportunity to engage with different stories and perspectives," Cr Oxley said.

"As a council, we're proud to support opportunities for First Peoples' voices and experiences to be shared and celebrated.

"This year's NAIDOC Week theme, 50 Years of Deadly, recognises the achievements,

strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over the past five decades.

"Water bodies showcases the work of outstanding First Peoples artists while highlighting the deep connections between water, Country and culture.

"I encourage our community to visit the exhibition and experience these powerful artworks for themselves."

The exhibition explores both large and small waterways, from the changing conditions of the Birrarung and Barka river systems and the decline of southern ocean kelp forests, through to the impacts of flooding events and changing conditions along local creeks and waterways.

Across the Kingston Arts Precinct, visitors will encounter Nici Cumpston's hand-coloured photographs in the Outdoor Lightbox Gallery, gallery installations and artworks throughout Kingston Arts Centre, and Judy Watson's video work projected nightly onto the Skybridge.

Nici Cumpston's Attesting II will be presented in the Outdoor Lightbox Gallery, featuring portraits of trees and significant sites within the backwaters and inland lake systems of the Barka (Murray) River.

The indoor galleries will showcase works by Mandy Quadrio, Auntie Netty Shaw, Aunty Dyan Summers, Judy Watson, Lisa Waup, and Nici Cumpston, while Judy Watson's video work water body will illuminate the Skybridge each evening, exploring Aboriginal and scientific histories connected to the waters of Meanjin (Brisbane).
