What are we proposing?
Frankston City Council is proposing to redevelop the current sports lighting at the following Frankston City reserves:
- Monterey Reserve, Frankston North - Pitches 1, 2 and 3
- Seaford North Reserve - Pitches 1 and 2.
These projects will be submitted for funding at the end of October 2021, through the Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV) World Game Funding.
Why are we proposing to do this?
In 2019, a Sports Lighting Audit was conducted by Council, which identified the current lighting at Monterey Reserve and Seaford North Reserve as being in poor condition and not meeting Australian Standards.
We want to provide a safe environment for soccer club night training, including juniors and women’s teams and support the growth of soccer participation for our community.
