FRANKSTON: $304 million budget announced
Frankston City Council has adopted its $304.82 million 2025-26 Annual Budget.
A $1.7 million Local Support Package that encapsulates a diverse range of targeted initiatives to ease the financial burden for many residents, community groups and businesses.
“The Budget reflects the continued transformation of Frankston City, underpinned by the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre Structure Plan and driven by key public and private sector investment such as the Federal Government’s $50 million investment in Nepean Highway and major housing developments,” said a Council representative.
Frankston City Mayor Cr Kris Bolam said Council overhauled its budget process by kicking off community consultation earlier than ever, engaged directly with over 350 sporting clubs, community groups, businesses and residents. It reviewed 53 formal submission.
“This is a budget for everyone – delivering real support where it’s needed most, while investing in the people, places and services that make Frankston City a great place to live. That’s what makes us Stronger Together,” Cr Bolam said.
