City’s fresh look for 2024

Published on 19 January 2024

Works are underway across Frankston City to enhance our public spaces and local areas.

With more businesses and residents choosing to call Frankston home, Frankston City Council is delivering a suite of improvements ranging from local shopping strip upgrades and greening roundabouts, to wayfinding signs and a strengthened graffiti response capability.

Improved public infrastructure is important to how our city functions and vital to the wellbeing of our community and environment while supporting Frankston’s economy.

More than 10 public buildings will receive mini face-lifts over the summer months including Frankston Mechanics Hall, Langwarrin Hall and Karingal Place, while 60 roundabouts have been earmarked for mulching and new planting, on top of the 12 completed in 2023.

Council’s Local Shopping Strip Action Plan will also enter a new phase, with upgrades progressing for Fairway Street (Frankston), Kareela Road (Frankston), Mahogany Avenue (Frankston North) and Railway Parade (Seaford) in the year ahead.

The upgrades follow the recently completed public lighting and amenity improvements to Stiebel Place in Frankston’s city centre (pictured above), which was undertaken by Council in partnership with the Victorian Government through the Suburban Revitalisation Program.

Underpinning these initiatives is the doubling of Council resources to tackle graffiti, with the establishment of a new team focused solely on proactive graffiti patrols and removal.

Council's new proactive graffiti team will be working to identify and remove graffiti from Council infrastructure in several high-profile areas, allowing the reactive graffiti team to respond more quickly to reports from the community.

Our city’s continued growth and transformation isn’t just about major projects and shiny new buildings, it’s also about lifting the appeal of our existing public spaces, and creating cleaner, greener, brighter, safer and better connected places for the community to enjoy.
