What do you want Frankston City to be like in 2040?

We are currently reviewing four key strategic documents: our Community Vision 2040, Council Plan, Asset Plan and Financial Plan – which guide the future of Frankston City.

Our Community Vision 2040 was first developed in 2021. Since then, we've been working to achieve our Community Vision 2040 by delivering services under our Council Plan 2021-2025. It's now time to develop a new Council 2025-2029.

Background

Under the Local Government Act 2020, all councils must develop a Community Vision and long-term planning documents to support the vision.

We are proud to have adopted our Community Vision 2040 in 2021, which was developed by our representative Community Panel of local residents. Our Community Vision is a community-led and informed document that outlines our aspirations for the future of the city.

Council also adopted a 2021-2025 Council Plan and Budget in 2021 (which has been updated annually), as well as a Long Term Financial Plan and Asset Plan in 2022. All of these key strategic documents were developed with significant input from our community, as part of a deliberative engagement process, using Community Panels.

Learn more about how your feedback will be used for each of these plans below.

The Community Vision 2040 provides an aspirational description of what the community wants for the future of the Frankston City municipality, in terms of its look, feel and liveability.

Our Community Vision 2040 was adopted by Council on 28 June 2021. Developed by our representative Community Panel of local residents, the Vision will help to guide planning and decision making by Council, our partners and the broader community to shape the future that our community wants to see, live and experience.

Your comments about your big picture goals for Frankston City will be used to shape this vision.

The Council Plan sets out the four-year vision for the city and how Council will deliver services to the community.

Our 2021-2025 Council Plan and Budget was adopted by Council on 28 June 2021. Since 2021, the Council Plan and Budget has been updated annually to set our vision for the city and the outcomes Council wants to achieve. These outcomes align with key focus areas identified in the Community Vision Frankston City 2040.

Your comments about Council's services will be used to develop the new Council Plan for 2025 to 2029.

The Financial Plan guides the delivery of programs and services, building new infrastructure and the maintenance of roads, footpaths, bike paths, buildings, and parks.

Our 2021-2031 Financial Plan was adopted by Council on 11 October 2021. Developed with the support of our Community Panel, the Financial Plan supports delivery of our role in the community, including programs, services, building and maintenance of infrastructure.

Your responses about Council income and spending and investment will be used to inform the next Financial Plan.

The Asset Plan guides Council's management of public assets and infrastructure over 10 years. It shows how Council will continue to maintain the buildings, public spaces and council managed facilities across Frankston City.

Our 2023-2032 Asset Plan was adopted on 6 June 2022. It guides Council's management of public assets and infrastructure over 10 years.
