Frankston City Council Adopts Renewed 10-Year Long Term Infrastructure Plan

Frankston City Council adopted a renewed 10-year Long Term Infrastructure Plan on 8 September 2025. The plan shifts investment toward upgrading existing assets and city beautification rather than new construction. Residents who use local roads, parks and recreation centres will encounter the changes through scheduled works in the coming years.

The updated plan responds to ongoing needs for maintenance and improvement of infrastructure already in place. Federal government funding of $75.16 million was committed to Frankston City following advocacy efforts for the May 2025 election. This support targets projects such as the Nepean Boulevard upgrade and park pavilions.

Projects included in the 2025-26 capital works program

The $72.9 million capital works program for 2025-26 lists specific upgrades. These include the Frankston Basketball and Gymnastics Centre at $20 million, Langwarrin Child and Family Centre at $2.7 million, Seaford Child and Family Centre at $2.7 million and Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre at $2.7 million. Road and pathway upgrades cover Nepean Boulevard, McCormicks Road, Skye Road, Hastings Road and Golf Links Road. Additional work is scheduled for Bruce Park and the Len Phelps pavilion.

These projects affect daily movement and access for residents who travel along the listed roads or use the named community facilities. Improvements to pavilions and parks are expected to support local recreation and gatherings.

A new simplified infrastructure funding mechanism is scheduled to commence on 1 January 2027. It will raise developer contributions for open space, transport, roads and community infrastructure in the Frankston Activity Centre. The mechanism is projected to provide ongoing support for future maintenance and upgrades.

Council documents outline the sequence of works and funding sources. Residents can review the plan on the council website for details on timing and locations of individual projects.
