Frankston City has been hard hit by the wild weather that is lashing Victoria.
I urge all residents to stay safe and off the roads, particularly as our municipality has been one of the worst affected areas with a significant number of residences currently experiencing power outages. It is anticipated that winds will ease by midday today.
Council staff are working extremely hard to make sure the Frankston City community is as supported as possible. We are working with the State Emergency Service to clear fallen branches and clear roads as soon as possible in the challenging conditions, but please expect some delay.
Reports of damage to Council buildings, facilities and assets including sports grounds can be made to Council customer service centres (1300 322 322). Please note our customer service centres are receiving high level of calls and I urge residents to please be patient as we attend to each person.
We will continue to provide updates throughout the day, as the situation unfolds, on the Frankston City Council Facebook page.
Please note due to the extreme weather:

I encourage residents to stay resilient. Frankston City residents have been through incredibly difficult times since early last year due to the pandemic and this is another surmountable challenge.
