THE future of the Australia Post office on Wells Street has been discussed at a meeting between the Australia Post CEO and the federal member for Dunkley. Australia Post CEO Paul Graham met with Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea, Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy, and Frankston Council CEO Phil Cantillon on 26 June to discuss the planned closure of the Wells Street post office. Belyea said “discussions to find a solution are ongoing.”

“I hear the community’s concerns and I am advocating to keep a post office in central Frankston. I pushed to get a meeting with the Australia Post CEO to ensure our community’s concerns were heard at the top,” she said. “I was pleased to invite along the Frankston City Council CEO and mayor to discuss potential solutions.”

Australia Post announced its decision to close the Wells Street post office last month. In a letter to Graham shortly afterwards, Belyea said “the Frankston Central Post Shop provides an integral service to neighbouring businesses and residents.” “Frankston City is growing and with its designation as a key Metropolitan Activity Centre, there will be even further growth in business and resident activity. Accordingly, a postal service location is required in the central business district to service commercial and residential activity,” she wrote. “Keeping Australia Post services in central Frankston is crucial to the prosperity of our community. I call upon Australia Post to commit to staying in central Frankston and working with me to find an alternative site that meets the needs of community members.”
