Young Street Action Plan

Frankston City Council is embarking on a long-term, transformational action plan for one of the key CBD entry points, Young Street. Bordered by Playne Street and Beach Street and connecting Frankston Railway Station with the city centre, this central location holds huge potential for developers, investors, businesses and consumers alike. With growing momentum for change across the community, the action plan spans six pillars ranging from property development, working with business and street presentation, to city connectivity, public safety and community health and wellbeing, with a clear focus on delivering lasting change to this vital city gateway.

Update – May 2025 

Since launching the Young Street Action Plan in August 2024, Council has rolled out several key initiatives. These include: 

• Increased Rapid Response Team patrols, enforcing a range of Local Laws that aim to deter antisocial behaviours such as smoking, vaping and public consumption of alcohol.
• A newly established City Presentation Team, focused on enhancing the look and feel of Young Street through daily footpath and street sweeping, graffiti removal and litter collection along the 500 metre Young Street Precinct.
• Increased planting at roundabouts and in planter boxes across the precinct and more seating options for city centre visitors.
• Trialing a new mental health and social support outreach program, Community Connectors, in partnership with Metro Trains and South East Community Links. The program follows a successful pilot at Dandenong Station and is aimed at assisting community members and passengers who frequent the station precinct and face complex challenges. SECL’s Community Connectors are now located at the train station on weekday afternoons, and can provide on-the-spot assistance, offer advice, and coordinate referrals to local services related to a range of issues including drug and alcohol, mental health, homelessness, and family violence.
