Bendigo Bank Hosts FBC Strategic Partners for an Exclusive Session with Chief Economist David Robertson & Fordham Partners

On Wed 26th, February, FBC Strategic Partners were invited by Bendigo Bank to a Business Insights Breakfast at the beautiful Mornington Golf Club with Chief Economist David Robertson.   David shared his understanding and forecast of economic conditions locally and abroad and gave us his top 10 predictions for 2025.  

David is one of Australia’s most accurate economists, as well as ranking high on entertainment value.  We then had the pleasure to listen to the Partners of Fordham; Michael Tuppen and Brett Marshall, who shared their insights on what your business should be considering when developing a succession plan.

Thank you Bendigo Bank for an informative session and for being an integral Strategic Partner to the Frankston Business Collective!

  SUPPORT FRANKSTON’S FUTURE

Transform Nepean Highway into a vibrant boulevard

This petition is initiated by Frankston Business Collective, the leading voice for businesses and economic growth in Frankston City.

We are on a precipice of exciting and transformational change in Frankston City. The Nepean Boulevard Precinct Revitalisation is a plan developed by Frankston City Council that promises to inject new life into our beloved city. This is an opportunity to redefine our Nepean Highway. No longer just a concrete corridor, but a lively hub for housing, hospitality, retail, and open social spaces – the remodeled heart of our city centre.

However, this vision cannot materialise without adequate funding and support. Local businesses, residents, and the environment stand to gain tremendously from this transformation. An upgraded boulevard could stimulate economic growth through increased retail and hospitality demand, boost housing development, and provide a revitalised social space for residents and tourists alike.

Therefore, we join Frankston City Council’s call for state and federal governments to urgently prioritise funding and support for the transformation of Nepean Highway into a vibrant and people-centric boulevard. Your support can make a difference!

By signing this petition, you are sending a strong message to decision-makers that Frankston deserves this investment. Together, we can transform Nepean Highway into a world-class boulevard that supports businesses, enhances public spaces, and creates a more vibrant and connected community.

SIGN THE PETITION NOW!

The time is now to build a brighter, bolder Frankston.
