Is there anything else we should consider for the Seaford North Precinct?

Community Comments:

  • Driving around here is good. Recent roadworks are a bit annoying. Traffic lights would be good to take pressure off main road in and out. Getting in and out is ok coming off peninsula freeway. Rutherford onto freeway heading north would be great.
  • Sweet!
  • Peninsula link trial draws everyone in. Should be a feature. Needs more shops.
  • Lighting is important across the estate. Current lights not brought enough.
  • I have no issues. I use my phone for lighting. Better lighting near the gym.
  • Acquisition of land at end of Oliehant Way. Consider appropriate mix of businesses eg trampolines with kids near large industrial vehicles. Need to maintain wide enough roads to turn large vehicles. Parking restriction overstaying and need for enforcement is an ongoing issue. We need another factory but I couldn’t get one where trucks need to use roundabouts to turn at both ends. Cycling infrastructure and connectivity across the bridge, to the Kananook track is needed. This whole region has a parking issue. Businesses in this area have more staff than there is parking. People happy to walk a block or two from the car.
  • Sounds good
  • Work, Operate business and own residential & commercial property. "Encourage industrial lots that abut the Peninsula Link Trail to screen industrial uses" - you mean force! We pay enough rates for these commercial properties for the council to address more vegetation along the fence line. How about you sort out the drainage in this area first ? How about you forgo another HUGE pay rise and address this issue?
  • We’ve just been flooded at Stevens rd. Additional road signage. To the freeway, dead end etc. anything to help with flooding.
  • Better managed sharing of shared user path. Behaviour change issue.
  • We’re all p****d off about the duplication of Latham road.
  • Need better road closure management during construction.
  • The Seaford Wetlands Park BILLION DOLLARS OF LAND(note PARK)
    Is systematically IGNORED by Frankston Council. Other PARKS, (Ballam especially) have money spent without clear user statistics, or benefit analysis. The proposed expenditure from State Govt funds (as yet not defined for start date, completion date) doesn't encompass the provision of Albert Pk Standards of user amenities. It is crucial the construction of Nth and Sth toilets, seats, taps, shelters, tables, and parking are included to attract distant patrons who will bring economic benefits to the commercial enterprises. A running/walking grano path adjacent to the bitumen cycle track is essential.
    Solar lights at approximately 200mtr or less intervals are necessary. The northern end Eel Race Sth side levee bank needs a consolidated track from the bitumen track to Old Wells rd, as it is presently mud, grass, rabbit damaged and snake dangerous in summer. (As per Patterson River nth bank)not just bridge to Patterson Lakes path.
