Parklet removal to kickstart Nepean Boulevard transformation

Published on 20 May 2024

Early works will soon start on Nepean Highway as part of Frankston City Council’s long-term vision for its transformation into a safe, attractive and vibrant Boulevard.

First up is the removal of the roadside parklets, which were installed to support businesses through COVID 19 restrictions and funded by the Victorian Government.

The parklets will be transported to the Frankston Regional Recycling and Recovery Centre (FRRRC) and offered free of charge to local community groups by an expressions of interest process.

The early works also include new median planting, public lighting improvements at Mile Bridge and through the City Centre median, new gateway entry signage and public art installation.

Parklet removal is expected to take place in May, with planting and signage due to begin in August.

The permanent 40 km/h speed limit, introduced by the Department of Transport to increase road safety, will remain in place.
