RATEPAYERS will help foot the cost for musicians to perform at outdoor dining venues.

Council has contributed $40,000 to the initiative. Cr David Asker said “we’ve provided the funding (…) to support our Do It Outdoors campaign. The funds will go towards providing performers and entertainers at venues.”

The Committee for Greater Frankston has “successfully applied via the state government for a $20,000 Victorian business chambers and trader organisation grant, which it is proudly contributing to bringing locals to our streets and diverse outdoor dining activations,” the lobby group’s CEO Ginevra Hosking says.

“Outdoor dining is a great way to reconnect with friends and dine alfresco-style among new and innovative dining installations. We encourage our community to get behind Frankston’s cafes, bars, restaurants and traders,” she said.

Frankston musician Simon Levick said performing at outdoor venues this summer has been “fantastic”. 

“The new outdoor dining areas look awesome and have injected a sense of community into these spaces. I’ve also been able to involve my music students, which has been a huge opportunity for them,” he said.

Scheduled events and participating businesses in council’s “Do It Outdoors” campaign can be found at discoverfrankston.com/doitoutdoors or at the Discover Frankston Facebook page.
