Applications for the next round of Façade Improvement Grants will open on 24 August 2026.
Frankston City Council is committed to supporting a thriving economy and to making our shopping and commercial precincts more attractive and inviting.
Façade Improvement Grants are offered on a reimbursement model to businesses throughout the municipality to improve the visual appeal of their business frontage. Whether it’s an external painting, new signage, lighting to support night-time trading, servery windows or bi-fold doors or another idea to help spruce up a shopfront façade. Open to all businesses with a shopfront in the Frankston City municipality, including those outside the city centre in shopping strips or industrial estates.
A total pool of $150,000 is available and applicants can apply for between $5,000 to $15,000.
Frankston City Council recommends all applicants thoroughly review the Façade Improvement Grants guidelines ahead of applying.
Council also recommends ensuring your business details are correct, such as your business address, on the Australian Business Register, as this information may be viewed during the assessment process.
Façade Improvement Grants guidelines are coming soon.
