A PLAN has been put forward to construct two huge buildings standing at 30 and 22 storeys on Davey Street.

If it goes ahead, the development will be constructed on 6-12 Davey Street, Frankston.

The proposal will mean the demolition of heritage buildings on the site, and construction of a building with two towers of twenty-two and thirty storeys plus three basement levels. 

The buildings will be used for accommodation – a residential hotel with 200 rooms and 4 serviced apartments, and 116 apartments. The proposal also asks for a reduction in car parking requirements, to display internally illuminated business identification signage and panel signage, and to alter access to a road within a road zone.

The proposal was lodged with Frankston Council in February. The Times understands that it will be considered by councillors later this year.

In the advertised plans, council commented that the building would exceed the preferred height limit for the area. The applicant’s representative wrote “in this case, increased height is appropriate as the proposal is able to manage potential amenity impact of visual bulk and overshadowing, whilst also creating a landmark built form”.

The representative for the applicant called the proposed height justified because “it will deliver a premium hotel offering which is to be operated by global hotelier Marriott International” and that “providing this amenity is expected to expand the role of Frankston as a regional capital and destination for accommodation, tourism, and business activities and capitalises on its waterfront location and its arts, nature, and cultural experiences.”

The 6 Davey Street site has had a troubled development history. On 10 November 2014, councillors voted to approve the construction of a seventeen storey dwelling for “accommodation and office use” on Davey Street. In 2018 councillors refused the developer an extension of their permit, as construction work had still not begun.

    Great.
    About time there was some development in this town instead of being stuck in the 70s.
    It’s ridiculous how undeveloped the bay areas are for a capital city.
    Even Adelaide has lovely areas to eat out around the beach, we’re weve got sporadic eateries with multi-million dollar private properties hogging the beaches.
    That being said, the Melbourne Water building is such a ridiculous eyesore development.
    A higher % of it should have been allocated to shopping & eateries, rather than offices.
