The Victorian Government committed $63 million to redevelop and revitalise the Frankston Station Precinct. This will transform the heart of Frankston to provide a safe, modern and thriving place of business and activity.

The upgrade of Young Street involved various changes to the road. The Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) is overseeing construction of the new Frankston Train Station, as well as level crossing removals at:

  • Skye/Overton Road
  • Seaford Road 
  • Eel Race Road

Learn more about the Level Crossing Removal on the Frankston line here. 

Major works are underway this autumn. Community members are encouraged to stay up to date with notifications about how this may affect transport and road access
