The planning, designing and delivering a range of open
space types across the municipality is delivered by a
range of departments within Frankton City Council.
The implementa! on of the open space strategy includes
further inves! ga! ons, planning and policy development,
opera! onal, renewal and maintenance programs,
partnership liaison or new and upgraded capital works
programs.
The following steps – detailed in Frankston City Council’s
Capital Works Framework – summarises the process
undertaken in designing and delivering integrated open
spaces:
Public Space and Leisure play a cri! cal role during the
project planning and delivery phases. Opportuni! es exist
to work collabora! vely with other Council departments,
other agencies and authori! es to share funding and
management responsibili! es, align strategic direc! ons
and increase benefi ts for the community.

3.3 Project scoping and prioritisation
3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Page 135 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016
Council intend that a detailed Open Space Asset
Management Plan be developed to implement new,
upgrade and renewal projects iden! fi ed in this strategy.
It iden! fi es specifi c projects to be implemented across
the municipality and neighbourhoods to meet our open
space objec! ves. The ! ming of ac! ons should be based
on priority and achievability, and categorised as:
Short term Within 5 years
Medium term Within 10 years
Long term Within 10 - 20 years
Service delivery and priori! sa! on is a complex
task, requiring mul! disciplinary co-opera! on and
partnerships. The open space priori! es in the capital
works program are subject to annual review and the
approvals process. They are subject to changes in the
alloca! on of resources, funding, council budgets, market
trends and partnership direc! on. Other unexpected
changes may impact the priori! sa! on and delivery of
open space.
Planning and policy development
In addi! on to physical works (either through capital
expenditure or maintenance programs), support for the
public open space network will occur through a variety of
planning and policy ini! a! ves, including the resolu! on
of Planning Scheme issues and the prepara! on of
master plans for higher-order parks and open spaces.
Some of these have been iden! fi ed in rela! on to the
broad strategic direc! ons, while others will be raised
through neighbourhood based improvements.
Funding open space
Several funding op! ons are available to support the
planning, development and management of open
space. The open space projects iden! fi ed in this
strategy include; the acquisi! on of land for new open
spaces as well as the upgrade to facili! es, design, and
management.
Funding sources diff er depending upon the func! on and
purpose of the open space. Diff erent combina! ons of
funding sources are available for the acquisi! on of new
open space, the upgrade of exis! ng open space, or the
management and maintenance of open space.
Circumstances will change over the life of this strategy,
with changes to the market rate of land acquisi! on, rate
funding, external grants, partnerships and collec! on of
developer open space contribu! ons.
Annual Council budgets vary, but annual funding for
open space, foreshore, unstructured and structured
recrea! on was broadly es! mated at $4,183,643 for
2013/2014 and $5,944.000 for 2014/2015. Other capital
works and opera! onal budgets include ini! a! ves for
maintenance programs, paths, major built form, public
toilets, roads, streetscape upgrades, habitat restora! on,
drainage infrastructure, sustainable water, ligh! ng and
street tree plan! ng. They are not a direct cost to open
space but improve the value of the open space network.
Council intends that the most appropriate funding
op! on be iden! fi ed to support the implementa! on of
the strategy, with further inves! ga! ons undertaken.
Cost estimates and the prioritised program
Criteria have been developed to assist Council to
develop a framework that will allow ac! ons in the Open
Space Strategy to be priori! sed (see priori! sed program
on following page). The criterion aims to priori! se
direc! ons so that Council can systema! cally develop an
open space network that off ers diversity and equity in
a range of se% ng across the municipality. The criteria
were weighted whereby each ac! on was scored. All
scores have then been mul! plied by the weigh! ng. The
sum of all scores for each ac! on provides a total score to
determine the ranking of each ac! on. The ranking of all
ac! ons within a neighbourhood will then be compared
to determine neighbourhood priori! es and across the
municipality to determine municipal wide priori! es.
New works and programs proposed to be funded by
Council will be assessed against all Council priori! es
through its annual budget process. Cost es! mates
noted within the priori! sed program are es! mates only
and the true costs may vary once more informa! on is
available. The majority of ac! ons will be met within
exis! ng budgets, while new works and programs will
only proceed once funding has been allocated and/or
obtained by Council.

FRANKSTON CITY OPEN SPACE STRATEGY
3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Page 137 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016
Open space contributions and the Subdivision Act
1988
Frankston City Council currently collects open space
contribu! ons under the Subdivision Act 1988. Sec! on
18 of the act allows Council to collect a contribu! on
at the ! me of subdivision as a percentage rate of the
undeveloped land, either as a percentage of land area or
equivalent value as a cash contribu! on, or a mix of both.
Contribu! ons collected cannot be used for maintenance
of open space. Frankston City Council currently has no
schedule in the Frankston Planning Scheme, defaul! ng
to a 5 percent rate across the municipality.
The open space strategy has considered the use of
contribu! ons to meet the open space needs of future
popula! ons, with any contribu! on funds collected to be
spent on new land and capital works for new residents.
Open space strategy and how it informs contributions
The open space strategy considers; popula! on and
dwelling forecasts, changing housing trend for increased
density, less private open space and smaller household
sizes, and considers their impact upon the exis! ng use
and development of land within each neighbourhood.
Frankston City Council has iden! fi ed ac! vity centres,
structure plan areas, substan! al housing change areas,
and larger opportunity sites as loca! ons where new
residen! al and commercial growth is an! cipated.
In par! cular, substan! al residen! al and commercial
change is an! cipated within the Frankston Structure
Plan boundaries, and open space in this loca! on will
need to cater for increasing residen! al, worker and
visitor popula! ons. The demand for open space and
use of exis! ng open space will intensify in these higher
growth areas. In other loca! ons, natural residen! al
infi ll is an! cipated at varying intensi! es.
In these higher growth areas, open space contribu! ons
will be required to fund demand for new and expanded
open space, links, or the upgrade of exis! ng open space
to provide a range of facili! es to service the needs of
the new popula! on. Contribu! ons may generate all,
or only part of, the addi! onal open space needed in
neighbourhoods with a limited exis! ng supply.
In areas where exis! ng open space provision is adequate,
contribu! ons will fund the expansion and upgrade of
exis! ng open space facili! es. In addi! on, contribu! ons
may fund future open space opportuni! es in loca! ons
where exis! ng open space is constrained, or with limited
poten! al to meet the recrea! onal needs of residents.
3.4 Open space contributions and the Subdivision Act 1988
FRANKSTON CITY OPEN SPACE STRATEGY
3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Page 138 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016
Adjusting for changes in development
Open space recommenda! ons are linked to an! cipated
popula! on and housing change and growth may shi"
over ! me. Further inves! ga! ons are required following
the recent adop! on of the Frankston Structure Plan,
current review of the Municipal Strategic Statement
(MSS), likely development projec! ons for land use in
neighbourhood ac! vity centres, substan! al housing
change areas and opportunity sites.
It is recommended to undertake further inves! ga! ons
to iden! fy likely net dwelling numbers and an! cipated
worker popula! ons in areas of strategic redevelopment
over the short, medium and long term. The
implementa! on of open space projects located near
these loca! ons may need to be priori! sed in accordance
with the ! ming of the open space contribu! on collected.
Given the diff erences in forecast growth across the
municipality iden! fi ed in the Frankston Housing Strategy,
further planning inves! ga! ons are recommended
to support a review of the current contribu! on rate,
currently defaul! ng to 5 per cent across the municipality.
Reviews should iden! fy residen! al, non-residen! al and
likely scale of the development surrounding ac! vity
centres. This will inform future reviews of current open
space contribu! on method and rates to be% er align
with greater open space demand in these areas.
Developer contributions collected as land or cash
Legisla! on requires that open space contribu! ons
collected through the subdivision process must be used
for new open space or capital work improvements in
open space. Most subdivisions in Frankston City will be
expected to pay cash contribu! ons toward acquisi! on
and development of open space on behalf of the
forecast popula! on. Cash contribu! ons are likely to
only fund a propor! on of a projects funding, with the
diff erence derived from other funding sources.
Open space as land may only be needed in certain
loca! ons, and Council needs to be sa! sfi ed that there
will be a need for land as a result of the development.
Many development sites within Frankston are not large
in size, and the resul! ng land contribu! on would result
in small open spaces that do not meet recrea! onal
need. A limited number of subdivisions will be asked
to contribute land to achieve the strategic goals of
the open space strategy, the majority of which are in
Frankston, Carrum Downs and Langwarrin. The loca! on
and confi gura! on of any land contribu! on will be at
Council’s discre! on.
The strategy provides a strategic basis to amend a future
schedule of open space contribu! ons rates to include in
the Frankston Planning Scheme. Un! l the contribu! ons
schedule is amended, Council’s open space levy of 5
per cent land or cash contribu! ons will be at Council’s
discre! on, in accordance with the Subdivision Act 1988,
Frankston Planning Scheme and recommenda! ons of
open space strategy.
Management of contributions and cost apportioning
for new residents
It is important to ensure open space contribu! ons
are recorded, tracked and allocated towards the area,
project and popula! on the funds are intended to
benefi t.
Management of open space contribu! ons should
demonstrate a nexus between where the funds are
collected, whom they are being collected for, the loca! on
of the open space, purpose of the funds collected and
whom they are to benefi t.
Cost appor! oning for each open space project should
to be undertaken and the open space contribu! on
should represent a reasonable propor! on of the value
of the open space improvement on behalf of the future
popula! on.
FRANKSTON CITY OPEN SPACE STRATEGY
3.5 Open space indicators
3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Page 139 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016
Open space indicators are used to assess the
eff ec" veness in providing open space that meets the
needs of the community, without being excluded due to
economic or social condi" ons.
Open space indicators need to be regularly measured
and easy to understand. For example; ‘open space per
neighbourhood’ measures the percentage of open space
area in the neighbourhood. This measure iden" fi es that
the local community has opportuni" es to visit areas of
public open space within their neighbourhood.
Data to measure open space indicators comes from
a variety of sources. Establishing a data source, data
collec" on and monitoring is important method of
measuring the success of the strategy over the long
term.
Many of the priori" es and ac" ons in this strategy will
take many years to complete. The following sec" on
includes open space indicators for Frankston City, with
20 year long term targets.
3.6 Monitoring and review
Regular monitoring of the Frankston City Open Space
Strategy should ensure that ac" ons are s" ll relevant,
priori" es are being addressed, and management
approaches and decisions are consistent with the vision
and proposed outcomes iden" fi ed in this strategy.
Implementa" on and monitoring of the Strategy is
the responsibility of the Public Space and Leisure
Department and will aim to:
• Monitor and assess the how the plan has been
implemented and the outcomes of the Strategy.
• Assess and annually report to Council on the
progress, unforeseen issues, success and failures of
the strategy against the measures of success.
• Establish a system of planning, documen" ng and
recording completed works.
• Review the Strategy every 4 years in collabora" on
with internal stakeholders. A review should take
into account any signifi cant policy or other changes
that have occurred over the life" me of the strategy.
