Frankston City Council

Community Vision 2040 **The Community Vision 2040 is our community’s long-term vision and aspirations for the future of our City.** The Community Vision 2040 provides an aspirational description of what our community wants for the future of our municipality, in terms of its look, feel and liveability. It also captures what our community most values about Frankston City and connects it to our municipality as a place to live, work, study and visit. Our Community Vision 2040 was first created by a representative community panel of residents in 2020 and voiced in their own words. A second community panel was formed in 2024 to review and update the Vision. The members of both panels were chosen to represent the diversity of our community, including different ages, genders, ethnicities, cultures, incomes, religions, disabilities, sexual orientations and suburbs. The Community Vision 2040 will help Council, our partners and the broader community with planning and decision making as we progress towards 2040, shaping our City’s future into one that the community hopes to see, live and experience. The Community Vision 2040 has been adopted into Council’s strategic planning and reporting framework to support Council to deliver meaningful, long-term outcomes that are aligned with the community’s aspirations. In particular, the Community Vision will help to shape the strategic outcomes and objectives in the four-year Council Plan, established at the start of each Council term. **Our Community Vision Statement** ‘Frankston City is a safe, inclusive and caring community in which to live, work and play. Our vibrant coastal City is clean, leafy, environmentally responsible, well planned, accessible and innovative for a changing future. We are proud, engaged and connected.’ **Our Community Vision themes** The Community Vision 2040 has four key themes that set out our community’s aspirations for the future of our municipality.
