Activate our open spaces for Do It Outdoors – Destinations Campaign
Published on 09 September 2021
Let’s make plans to ramp up outdoor activities in Frankston City and activate spaces to create places. Let’s make plans to turn a blank canvas into a destination station.
Frankston City Council is calling for local commercial operators to apply to activate some of our most popular public open spaces as part of its Do It Outdoors – Destinations campaign.
Businesses can capitalise on our progressive region by setting up temporary, long term commercial operations in specific parks, public spaces and sites throughout Frankston City.
North East Ward Cr Suzette Tayler said now was a great time to plan for the future so that come November these planned activations can begin, adding: “When lockdowns are a thing of the past, the community will be ready to get out and about and experience some wonderful outdoor activities again.
“We want to create energetic, magnetic locations for our community to enjoy and what better locations than our public open spaces.
“Council aims for Frankston City to become the epicentre of innovation, growth and industry and modernity and you can be a part of that ethos,” Cr Tayler said.
Whether your business is to provide a nibble, sip, stomp, chill, play or shop, you can Do It Outdoors and bring your commercial activity to our public open spaces and help create Destinations for Frankston City.
From yoga in the park and food trucks at dusk, to volleyball on the beach or markets by the bay, our public open spaces are eager to thrive with a packed calendar of outdoor adventures and vibrant urban experiences.
Cr Tayler said: “If you share the vision and the passion for what can be, then it’s your time to start forward thinking to energise Frankston City.”
Council’s Foreshore Reserve, Ballam Park, Beauty Park, Station Street Mall, Clyde Street Mall, Sandfield Reserve, Southgateway Reserve and Lyrebird Community Centre car park are available for twelve month licences in 2021-2022.
The online application form closes 5pm, Friday 24 September 2021. For more information and to apply, please visit https://www.frankston.vic.gov.au/Business-and-Growth/Business-support-and-resources/Business-resources/Programs-and-opportunities
