Project Overview

Frankston Council is working towards the delivery of a world class Nepean Boulevard corridor.

Council is developing a bold vision alongside industry, private investors, local businesses and community that will transform the highway and unite the bustling Frankston City Centre to the pristine Frankston Waterfront.

Our vision:

• A vibrant, pedestrian friendly boulevard with extended pavements to encourage more outdoor dining and retail
• Lower speed limits and new bike lanes for a calmer, more pedestrian friendly traffic environment
• Better connections from the city centre across Nepean Boulevard to Frankston’s famous foreshore and Kananook Creek

Council is currently developing a Nepean Boulevard Master Vision with extensive community engagement being undertaken as part of the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre (FMAC) Structure Plan.
