Ebdale Precinct
Planning Investigation - Housing Opportunities in the "Ebdale Precinct" Council is undertaking a strategic planning study for land immediately north of the Frankston Central Activities District, between the Nepean Highway and Dandenong Road West.
This area is well suited to greater housing densities due to its closeness to central Frankston, employment opportunities and public transport. Current zoning and height controls allow for development of up to four storeys. To ensure development has a positive impact on the future of Frankston, zoning changes and a set of urban design principles are being considered.
