Experience Local Love: Frankston City unveils unique suburb merch!
Published on 06 June 2023
Frankston City Council is thrilled to announce the launch of a limited-edition range of merchandise, designed exclusively for the residents of Frankston City. With a heartfelt token of love for our suburbs, this unique collection will showcase the pride residents have for their local areas while also raising funds for local charities.
Showcasing the bond between residents and their suburbs, each item in the collection features a heart symbol alongside the name of the suburb, for example, “I ❤ Seaford”. From cozy beanies to stylish mugs and vibrant stickers, the merchandise allows residents to proudly declare their love for their neighbourhood. This winter, residents are encouraged to wear their suburb with pride and spread the love throughout Frankston City.
In a testament to the Council's commitment to the local community, 10 per cent of the profits from the merchandise sales will be donated to the Frankston Charitable Fund. This fund plays a vital role in supporting local charities and initiatives that make a difference in the lives of residents. By purchasing these limited-edition items, residents will not only demonstrate their love for their suburb but also contribute to the betterment of Frankston City as a whole.
Mayor Nathan Conroy expressed his enthusiasm for the launch, stating, "This limited-edition merchandise celebrates the unique spirit and sense of community that thrives within Frankston City. We are proud to offer our residents an opportunity to showcase their love for their suburbs and foster a strong sense of belonging. By purchasing these items, residents are not only expressing their pride, but they are also contributing to a worthy cause."
Mayor Conroy further emphasised the significance of the merchandise, saying, "We believe that every suburb in Frankston City has its own unique charm and countless reasons to be proud.
