Council Election – October 2020
The Greater Frankston region is bursting with potential and now is the time to realise it.
The Committee for Greater Frankston – an organisation independent of political party politics – is a bold advocate for projects and strategies to generate sustainable economic growth and expanded job opportunities, to revitalise the entire region.
Frankston’s beachside vibe makes it an amazing locale to reside, raise a family and work. However, with only 31 jobs available per 100 residents, increasing local permanent employment needs to remain a strategic priority – hence the Committee’s vital ongoing advocacy to support continued job growth in our thrivingsustainable manufacturing sector in Carrum Downs.
For decades we’ve all heard talk aboutelectrifying and duplicating the train line beyond Frankston. Now this project is tantalisingly close. The $500 million plus rail extension plan has scored an initial $225 million in federal funds. But the Victorian Government has not yet committed and it cannot go ahead without its support.
Other major projects championed by the Committee are: the long overdue rejuvenation of the Nepean Highway entrance into Frankston’s CBD, greater connectivity between key learning institutions and the development of a health and education precinct to realise the vision for a vibrant ‘education town’.
In these challenging times our elected council representatives should work with the Frankston community to attract greater investment, create more jobs and improve transport, health and education outcomes in this wonderful region that we all love.
