Outgoing mayor Kris Bolam has used his final statement to reinforce that Frankston has taken a bold leap into the 21st century, highlighting record investment, governance reforms and city shaping projects as he ends a record 1,116 days in the role.
Frankston City Council has awarded $57,000 to ten community organisations in a new funding round under its Local Support Package, supporting emergency relief, wellbeing programs and outreach services across the municipality.
Frankston City Council has expanded its Local Support Package, directing new funding to local organisations including the Babes Project, Thrive Hub, Family Life, and John Paul College’s Companion Food and Outreach Van. The package also provides support for neighbourhood houses, Youth Inclusion Grants, and community groups tackling family violence and gambling harms.
Frankston City Council has handed down its 2025–26 budget, keeping rates below the state cap and delivering a $1.7m Local Support Package. The budget also commits $73m to capital works, including the $60m Frankston Stadium, in what Mayor Kris Bolam says is a direct return of savings to ratepayers.
