Frankston City Libraries Consultation Opens for Community Feedback

Frankston City Council has opened its Frankston City Libraries consultation, inviting residents to help shape library services, spaces and programs over the next 20 years.

Council wants to hear from regular library users, occasional visitors and people who have never used a local library.

The feedback will inform a new Library Master Plan, which will guide future planning and investment across the Frankston City Libraries network.

Community Feedback to Guide Library Master Plan

Frankston City Mayor Cr Sue Baker said libraries had evolved beyond places where people borrowed books.

“Today’s libraries are places where people come to learn, connect, access technology, develop new skills and participate in community life,” Cr Baker said.

“As our community continues to grow and change, it’s important that our libraries evolve too. We want to hear from people of all ages and backgrounds about what they value most and what they want from their local library over the next 20 years.”

Council recently completed a Library Network Analysis, which identified opportunities to strengthen services, facilities and programs.

It will consider feedback from the Frankston City Libraries consultation alongside the analysis, community needs, service data and supporting research before making future planning or investment decisions.

How to Participate in the Frankston Libraries Consultation

Community members can provide feedback through an online survey or attend one of several in-person engagement sessions across Frankston City.

The consultation follows earlier community engagement conducted in 2020 and 2022. That feedback helped shape Council’s current Library Action Plan.

Consultation closes at 11.59pm on Wednesday, 30 September 2026.
