Level Crossing Removal Project

The Victorian Government committed $63 million to redevelop and revitalise the Frankston Station Precinct. The level crossing between Skye and Overton roads in Frankston was removed with a rail bridge built above the road in June 2018.

The upgrade of Young Street involved various changes to the road. The Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) oversaw construction of the new Frankston Train Station, as well as level crossing removals at:

  • Skye/Overton Road
  • Seaford Road 
  • Eel Race Road

Integrated Transport Strategy

Connecting Communities

 Council’s new 20-year Integrated Transport Strategy focuses on the community’s transport needs now and into the future, to create a Frankston that’s safer, healthier, connected, sustainable and inclusive. 

Informed by community engagement, the strategy outlines 53 actions that address the key transport concerns shared by residents. 

That means we’re looking at ways to provide the community with more transport options for their journeys, with a strong focus on sustainable and active transports options such as walking, bike riding, ride-share, and public transport through a range of strategies including: 

  • More accessible, safe, and connected pathways and streets across the City
  • Advocating to the State Government for more trains, more often and faster services and better-connected services (i.e. buses with trains)
  • Smarter car parking options

The strategy isn’t a stand-alone plan – it will inform other projects and plans across the city such as land use planning, structure planning, Council and State Government road projects, level crossing removals, and how we address and target local issues.  

Education is also a key part of the strategy, with a range of innovative approaches proposed, including a walk to school program.

Public Transport Ombudsman (PTO)

The Public Transport Ombudsman (PTO) Ltd is a free, confidential and impartial alternative dispute resolution scheme available to people who use, or are affected by public passenger transport services, or related activities of public transport in Victoria.

The majority of Victorian public transport operators must participate in the PTO scheme and are called 'members' in our Charter. We can only handle complaints about operators who are members. For ease of use, we refer to members of the scheme as 'operators' and the people who contact us as 'consumers'.
