Frankston South Community and Recreation Centre (FSCRC) is a modern, purpose-built community Centre located in Frankston South and owned and operated by Frankston City Council.
FSCRC consists of a multi-purpose sport stadium and four smaller rooms suitable for a range of activities including but not limited to meetings, yoga, dance and exercise. It also houses Youth Services and Library Outreach Services.
FSCRC has a registered ACFE training Café called Frankie’s Café where students learn hospitality and barista skills via short courses scheduled throughout the year.
In 2023, FSCRC undertook an extensive community engagement survey seeking feedback from local community and current participants as to the future programs, events and services they need and want at the Centre.
This FSCRC Strategic Plan 2024-2027 focuses on the findings and recommendations of the 2023 survey and outlines how we will continue working with community and key stakeholders over the next three years to deliver inclusive and accessible programs, activities and services that meet community needs and build community capacity and resilience.
