BIG ideas for the future of Frankston are being sought by council as part of a ‘Think Big’ community event early next month.
Residents, community groups and businesses are being asked to publicly let council know how they would improve the Frankston area and ideas have been flowing on an OurSay.org website set up by Frankston Council.
Suggestions so far – ranging from short-term fixes or improvements to larger long-term projects – include the conversion of Down’s Estate in Seaford into a historical farm and arts tourist attraction, an outdoor cinema at Frankston North’s Monterey Community Park and changing rooms and toilets at Frankston’s waterfront for people with severe disabilities.
Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said council will use any information provided to help plan council, community, health and wellbeing plans.
“Jump on to the Think Big website to see and vote on other people’s ideas and post your own vision of our city so your voice can be heard,” he said.
“We all love Frankston city and we need your help to make sure it continues to be a wonderful place for everyone to live, work, study and invest. This is a great opportunity for the entire community to contribute towards making a difference to their local community.”
Addressing youth unemployment in Frankston is also high on a list of suggestions OurSay.org visitors have voted on to be prioritised.
The 10 most popular ideas people vote for on the website will be discussed at a council hosted ‘Think Big’ community event on Saturday 3 December, 10am-4pm at Frankston Park Function Centre, Dolphins Football Ground, Plowman Place, Frankston.
See oursay.org/frankston/thinkbig to register to attend the ‘Think Big’ community event, submit a big idea for Frankston’s future or vote on submissions already made or call 9020 4503 to leave a message detailing an idea.

It would be nice if our Heatherhill Road shopping strip had some decent signage out on the high to promote that we are still in business. The work by trade is dead down there After the water/road works a from couple of years back its killed business and people are going elsewhere, you killed us by letting that happen!!! Also why send out council officials to patrol the shopping strip for A frame permits? A little pathetic especially when you can’t send them down to patrol the parking situation that we have all complained about numerous times!
It would be fantastic if there was footpaths along Hall Rd between Frankston Dandenong Rd and the Carrum Downs shopping centre. I have a disability and use a mobility scooter and it is impossible to ride it to the shops because of uneven ground and tree roots .
