The future looks bright for Frankston.

An Ideal Location

Located on Port Phillip Bay, approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Melbourne, Frankston is a bustling and cosmopolitan city.

Frankston has outstanding potential for growth.

It is positioned between the Mornington Peninsula, a significant tourist area, and the major population centres of Dandenong and the southeastern growth corridor and is less than an hour's drive from Melbourne's markets.

Frankston has a special relationship with the bay giving it much of its focus, character and advantages. The bay not only provides opportunities for recreation and transport, it promotes a healthy lifestyle and attitude.

The People

The population of this region is growing steadily and this growth is expected to continue over the next few decades. Frankston has an estimated residential population of 115,000.

Frankston has a well trained workforce with significantly more residents with vocational qualifications compared with metropolitan Melbourne. With expanding educational resources in the city, industry and commerce have access to personnel with all levels of skills, training and academic qualifications.

This growing population will also need services: from retail and commercial through to recreation and entertainment.
