Frankston is on the brink of an exciting transformation, and you can be part of making it happen. Imagine a lively, people-friendly boulevard stretching through the heart of our city—lined with cafes, shops, green spaces, and better connections between the coast and the community. The Nepean Boulevard Precinct Revitalisation is our chance to redefine Frankston as the capital of Melbourne’s south-east and breathe new life into one of our city’s most important corridors.
A Vision for the Future
The 3.7km stretch of Nepean Highway from Mile Bridge (Overton Road) to Olivers Hill Lookout has long been a vital thoroughfare—but it can be so much more. With a bold reimagining, we can transform it from a high-traffic roadway into a welcoming, modern boulevard that supports housing, hospitality, and retail while enhancing safety and connectivity for everyone.
Frankston City Council has already invested $2.05 million to kickstart this vision, with another $5.2 million committed in the coming years. But to truly make this project a reality, we need greater support from the Victorian and Federal Governments. That’s where you come in.
What This Project Will Deliver
With the right funding, we can:
- Create a stunning gateway at Kananook Creek Park that celebrates Frankston’s unique coastal environment and improves cycling and walking connections.
- Improve road safety with a signalised crossing and better footpath links at Overton Road and Nepean Highway.
- Revitalise the historic Comfort Station near Playne Street, turning it into an inviting spot to pause and enjoy.
- Bring Nepean Highway to life with lush green landscaping, outdoor dining areas, and vibrant social spaces.
- Connect the Bay Trail to the Frankston Waterfront for a seamless, enjoyable experience for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Build a new shared user path along Nepean Highway from Pier Promenade to Olivers Hill, enhancing safety and recreation for all.
Why Now?
Frankston is ready. Businesses and developers see the potential. The city centre’s strategic planning framework is nearly in place. We have a golden opportunity to secure funding and make this transformation a reality—but we need the support of our community to push for it.

- Kananook Creek Park and Gateway Site ($4.2 million)
- Overton Road Signalised Crossing ($3.1 million)
- Comfort Station Activation ($2.8 million)
