How will the community be involved in supporting the community vision?

Frankston City Council is committed to ongoing community involvement in the Frankston 2025 initiative, and building strong partnerships to achieve the community's vision.

The Frankston 2025 Community Vision cannot be achieved by Council alone, and the involvement of residents, businesses, community groups, organisations and all levels of government is important in ensuring that the vision turns into reality.

• If you or your organisation, community group or committee want to help to deliver the vision, consider ideas and projects you could undertake to achieve our community's aspirations (see the 'Ideas to make it happen!' section under each theme).
• Talk to your local Councillor about the Frankston 2025 Community Vision and activities happening in your local area.
• Contact the Frankston 2025 Advisory Committee - a voluntary community advisory group working with Council to encourage the community to help turn our vision for 2025 into reality.

What is the Council's role in supporting the community vision?

As an organisation, we are now looking at how we will respond to the Community Vision and what strategies we'll put in place to achieve the community's aspirations.

In the implementation of the Frankston 2025 Community Vision, the Council will have multiple roles:

• Firstly, fostering the community vision as one of many organisations influencing the City's quality of life.
• Secondly, resourcing the advisory committee and encouraging community support for the attainment of the vision, and
• Thirdly, monitoring and reporting on progress in achieving the vision.

In 2008, Council is reviewing its four-year Council Plan based on the themes outlined in the vision. We are also in the process of developing 'State of the City' reporting, the proposed means to measure progress towards achieving the Community Vision.
