Frankston 2025 Conference

On 22-23 September 2006, over 140 community representatives came together at the Frankston Arts Centre for the Frankston 2025 Conference.

The goal of the Conference was to share our views and discover our common aspirations for the future of Frankston City and our entire municipality. This information, together with the information gathered at the Frankston 2025 Community Workshops and through the Frankston 2025 Community Surveys, contributed to the final Community Vision.

This one-and-a-half day event saw a diverse range of organisations and representatives from our community come together. To name but a few, residents, our business community, health and education sectors, and environmental, religious, recreation, cultural and arts groups, community groups, state agencies, Councillors and Council staff were represented at the Conference!

Participants considered how the vision was likely to affect planning over the next 20 years and discussed what actions we would need to take now. Working together in small groups, and as one large group, we pooled information to discover common ground.

Fifteen emerging themes and ideas arising from the Conference were:

• Environmental issues
• Governance
• Tourism
• Community Pride
• Sustainability
• Foreshore (coastal and marine)
• Learning Community
• Business and Employment
• Edible Landscapes
• Connected Community
• Urban Design
• Green Open Spaces
• Transport
• Health and Wellbeing
• Central Activity District Landscape

These emerging themes and ideas expressed at the Conference were further explored at the Frankston 2025 Community Workshops and through on-site surveys across the municipality until December 2006.
