They say kronosaurus would have eaten t-rex for breakfast, so Richmond will keep its streets clean and tidy with the unveiling of the new Q150 Krono Bin.

The long-awaited unveiling of the Richmond Shire's Q150 Krono Bin Community Project will take place at 2pm, April 30, at Kronosaurus Korner, Goldring Street, Richmond, to coincide with the official re-opening of the BHP Billiton Cannington Gallery One.

This project honours Richmond's colourful pre-historic heritage and was a great project, bringing together artists, community groups and businesses.

"We believe art is not just for behind closed doors - it's a part of everyday life. Places that are vibrant, attractive and inviting often use art to showcase their community spirit and cultural identity," project officer Angela Henry said.

Lead artist Paul Stumkat said it had been an exciting project to be involved with.

"The support from the community was tremendous and I am glad to be associated with such positive pieces of art, judging from the intrigue generated by tourists and locals during construction," he said.

Michelle Clarke, Richmond Shire's chief executive officer, commented that the pieces of functional art are a striking artistic feature that builds on Richmond's well-known icon - the kronosaurus.
