A NINE storey building could soon tower over Playne Street.

At their most recent meeting, Frankston councillors flagged their support for the project at 35 Playne Street. The proposed development would be used for retail tenancy and commercial use.

A Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal hearing for the proposal has been set for 30 August. Frankston Council will advise VCAT that it supports the proposal.

The proposed development will stand at 39.3 metres, which exceeds the preferred height limit of 32 metres nominated in Frankston Council’s metropolitan activity centre structure plan. The proposal features 67 car spaces, which council officers wrote was “less than the standard statutory requirement of 203 spaces for the floor space proposed”.

The report prepared by Frankston Council officers read “a retail tenancy is proposed at ground floor level comprising 512 square metres. Additionally, services including waste storage, communication and NBN, bicycle spaces and associated lockers and change rooms, electric substation main switch room, fire pump room and gas are located at ground floor level.”

“Commercial use across levels three to eight comprise a total floor area per level of 1049 square metres. A possible future tenancy split has been identified which would allow for tenancies of approximately 585 and 435 square metres per level. Level nine comprises a roof top plant.”

The development is projected to cost nearly $28 million to construct. 

The office space in the building is expected to accommodate between 450 and 629 people.

The support for the nine storey development comes after a plan for a 14 storey building on the site was rejected in 2019.

The former Frankston Council rejected plans to construct a 14 storey tower at 35 Playne Street which would have featured 11 student rooms, 77 apartments, social housing, and privately run businesses (“Building plans sent back to the drawing board”, The Times, 29/7/19).

The old plan was labelled “not appropriate” due to its height, proposed to be nearly 43 metres.

The site is the former home of BRAAAP Motorcycles, which operated there for 10 years.

Frankston Council’s report assessing the new plans read “the development could provide additional supply chain and consumption benefits of $35.72 million and direct, supply chain and consumption jobs of a total of 168.”
