Questions and Comments
Your Questions
Responding to Panel Member Questions
During panel workshops Council staff received more questions than we were able to answer immediately. Some questions were taken on notice and have been referred to the relevant Council teams for a response, shown below.
Community Vision Information
Frankston City Community Vision 2040
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 by a deliberative community panel to shape this vision.
Personas
We have created 20 personas that express the hopes, challenges and concerns felt by our diverse community. We will use these during panel workshops to consider different perspectives, and potential impacts, of the topics we discuss. You do not need to read these before the panel session but may find them interesting.
Council Wellbeing Plan Information
Council Plan
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 by a deliberative community panel to make recommendations for the new Council Plan for 2025 to 2029.
Health and Wellbeing Plan
The Frankston City Health and Wellbeing Plan shows how Council is supporting residents to have good health and wellbeing.
From 2025 the Health and Wellbeing Plan is being incorporated with the Council Plan.
