Neighbourhood Character Study
Neighbourhood Character
Frankston City is a diverse area, ranging from urban beach settings to recent subdivisions, from garden suburbs to rural bush locations with spacious landscapes.
A comprehensive study has been conducted and a set of guidelines (Neighbourhood Character Precinct Brochures) have been developed to help preserve and enhance the unique residential character of these areas.
Neighbourhood Character Study
The Neighbourhood Character Study was conducted in conjunction with the Housing Strategy to determine the residential character of a number of precincts around the City. The study sets out the means by which to protect and enhance the valued characteristics of the municipality and to guide future residential development to ensure it respects neighbourhood character.

Neighbourhood Character Precinct Brochures
