THE state and federal governments will be asked to put in $10 million each towards the Nepean Highway Boulevard redevelopment project.
Frankston Council named the Boulevard project as one of its advocacy priorities ahead of the upcoming federal election. At their last meeting they released the costings for the project.
Council projects that works on the Kananook Creek Park and Gateway Site will cost $4.2 million, Comfort Station works will cost $2.8 million, central median landscaping will cost $2.3 million, Overton Road signalised crossing and intersection will cost $3.1 million, the Waterfront Shared User Path Connection will cost $2.4 million, and the Southern Path Connection and Median Planting will cost $5.2 million.
Frankston Council has allocated $5.2 million in its long term infrastructure plan for the development of the Nepean Boulevard Precinct, and has already spent a little more than $2 million to work on central median greening on Nepean Highway near Overton Road and adjacent to the Frankston waterfront play space.
The motion agreed to by Frankston councillors at their last meeting reads that the $20 million “does not represent the entire cost of the Master Plan implementation but discrete Signature Projects within the Master Plan.”
