Connecting Malls Project

Clyde Street Mall Improvements

The proposed Clyde Street Mall improvements are part of a staged program of works to create welcoming and safe pedestrian connections between Frankston Station and key destinations.

Key stakeholder and community engagement feedback, along with the findings of a best value review were incorporated into the concept plan. Council endorsed the plan in November 2019 and the public exhibition period is now open for four weeks from 20 January 2020.

Key features of the concept plan include:

Improved pedestrian accessibility between Balmoral Street and Ross Smith Avenue East
Permanent road closure for vehicles excluding emergency services and utility services
New pedestrian lighting to increase user safety and comfort complimenting the existing city centre lighting
Enhanced pedestrian use and accessibility through upgraded paving, seating, bicycle hoops, recycle and waste bins which will fit in with the existing city centre streetscape
Increased tree canopy and low level landscaping
Integration of the Frankston Hall of Fame through paving inserts and feature lighting
