Frankston 2025 Community Workshops

From September to December 2006, 200 people from across Frankston City were involved in the Frankston 2025 Community Workshops.

The goal of the workshops 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 Conference and through the Frankston 2025 Community Surveys, contributed to the final Community Vision.

Workshops were held in local neighbourhoods including Seaford, Frankston North, Carrum Downs, Langwarrin, Frankston South and Frankston.

Additional workshops were organised on a needs basis with young people, local schools, community groups and committees to ensure that any underrepresented groups identified throughout the process were involved during the consultations.

Ten emerging themes and ideas arising from the community workshops were:

Emerging themes from the Frankston 2025 Community Workshops	Comparison to emerging themes from the Frankston 2025 Conference
Frankston - a city with a long-term vision
A connected community	Connected Community
A place where people are safe and proud	Community Pride
A well governed community that is engaged	Governance
A healthy, active, inclusive community	Health and Wellbeing, Edible Landscapes
A city that is well planned and developed and contributes to sustainable living	Urban Design, Central Activity District Landscape, Transport
A city that protects the natural environment	Environmental issues, Foreshore (coastal and marine), Sustainability, Green Open Spaces
A tourist destination!	Tourism
A city that fosters local employment and business prosperity	Business and Employment
A learning community	Learning Community

Many of the themes above cut across to other themes. For example, although the term 'edible landscapes' from the Frankston 2025 Conference focused on community gardens (contributing to a 'healthy, active, inclusive community'), it is also considered an important aspect of connecting our communities (contributing to 'a connected community').
