 Community Arts Project 

Telstra Country Wide Peninsula continually seeks opportunities to contribute to the Peninsula Community -- in particular those which bring business and people together and create an opportunity for people to contribute and feel proud of their work. 

On this occasion they have supported a project for local school children to paint panels depicting peace and happiness. These panels have been installed on the construction hoardings surrounding the Bayside Shopping Centre development near Beach Street 

Frankston City Council would like to thank Telstra Country Wide Peninsula for promoting and overseeing the preparation of the project, Probuild the building contractor who permitted the installation of panels on their hoardings, and Gandel Retail Management for arranging the installation of the panels, and most importantly the local school children who participated, thank you.
