Frankston City Council at its meeting on Monday 11th November 2002 adopted the Frankston Project Master Plan Review (Acrobat PDF file - 177 KB).  The revised Master Plan is the result of a review and update of the award-winning Frankston Project and will see Frankston develop as a regional centre and a key destination, through embracing the City's key elements a vibrant city centre, spectacular foreshore leisure area on the Bay, and its diverse community.

The Master Plan proposes Wells Street will become the heart of a new urban village atmosphere, surrounded by shops, cafes and family entertainment with the main pedestrian promenade, leading people from the TAFE Campus through the inner hub of activity to the lifeblood of the City, the Frankston Foreshore. The Foreshore is currently being reshaped to create a lively leisure precinct with boardwalk, picnic areas, playground, feature bridge with light display, unique artworks and three major restaurants overlooking the Bay.

Parallel to the foreshore, the master plan will rejuvenate the Kananook Creek precinct with the creation of a lively creek promenade and new 5-6 storey apartment development opportunities, whilst ensuring the protection and enhancement of surrounding open space.

The development of a new, integrated transport hub as part of the State Governments Transit Cities initiative will include a new rail and bus interchange. This will complement the integration of the adjacent TAFE campus and Young Street precinct.

Revitalisation of Nepean Highway, including improved pedestrian amenity, will be complemented by exciting new streetscape works and a more pedestrian-oriented town centre with an emphasis on safety.

The review of the Frankston Project was undertaken by the leading urban design group, Cox. The revised plan outlines how Frankston will develop as a vibrant regional centre with an emphasis on the city maximising its potential as a great place to live, visit, work and play.

It provides a framework for private and Government investment to support new residential and commercial opportunities in the city centre and at the same time enhance the amenity, environment and safety of the city centre.

The Frankston Project included an extensive community consultation process with residents, local interest groups, and the Frankston Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The review of the master plan built upon this consultation by engaging with community and business focus groups and input from the Frankston Community following a public display.

The Master Plan also discusses the eastern edge of Frankston be activated with mixed use retail, TAFE or office uses.
