Kananook Creek Boulevard

 

The rejuvenation of the Kananook Creek Boulevard is nearing its completion. Construction of the east bank works will be completed in stages between mid December 2009 to mid February 2010 and the new Davey Street bridge to Long Island by the end of February 2010.

The project is a joint Council and State Government initiative with funding provided by the State Government from its Transit City program. It will transform the Boulevard through the addition of landscaping, furniture and art to create a place where residents and visitors will be pleased to stroll, flâneur and meet friends - a creek side promenade that will become a destination in its own right.

Ultimately the Boulevard will be home to cafes, restaurants and businesses that will enliven it and create a mini Southbank experience in Frankston.

Budget

The cost of the project is just over $8 million.

Where

 

The scope of the work is along the Kananook Creek Boulevard between Davey and Beach Streets. The heart of the Boulevard will be the plaza space between Wells and Playne Streets.

Timelines

The project commenced in 2006 when tenders were call for the design phase. Over 2 years the design was developed with input from the public and stakeholders until the final version was approved by Council in late 2008. The project was then tendered for construction and the works commenced on site in early 2009.

Stage

The east bank works will be completed in stages between mid December 2009 to mid February 2010. The new bridge at Davey Street to Long Island will be completed by the end of February 2010 and although this is not an official separate stage of works, the site will close down over the Christmas period.
