High-rise housing developments close to Frankston’s foreshore are back on the cards after the planning minister reversed height limits she made three months ago.
There has been a long-running community dispute over height limits in a key stretch of Nepean Highway in Frankston where at least two high-rise developments are proposed.
The move means two luxury apartment developments have a much greater chance of being approved by VCAT next month.

Since then, the council has watered down mandatory height limits for the Kananook Creek area in favour of “preferred” height limits that developers can exceed with consent of council or the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal . Kilkenny is also the state MP for Carrum, the neighbouring seat to Frankston, which takes in some parts of wider Frankston but not the waterfront area. Frankston local Reverend Tim Costello, a member of the Stop the Great Wall campaign, said he was “gutted” by the decision.
Abbott said others in his group were people who wanted to move into the Nepean Highway developments, and that Thursday’s announcement was “great news for Frankston”.
