Flood Risk
Frankston has medium flood risk concentrated in low-lying areas adjacent to the Yarra Estuary, Frankston Beach, and tributaries of Moonee Creek. Properties within mapped LSIO zones are subject to strict planning controls. Broader areas face growing coastal inundation and storm surge risk from Port Phillip Bay, particularly under climate change scenarios.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to low-lying coastal and estuary-adjacent areas; development restricted or requires flood-resistant design
- •Moonee Creek and small tributary catchments have localised flood history; drainage infrastructure constraints in urban areas
- •Coastal vulnerability and storm surge risk from Port Phillip Bay; sea-level rise and climate change considerations in strategic planning
- •Planning Practice Note 12 (Applying the Flood Provisions in Planning Schemes) and Frankston Planning Scheme Clause 14.02-1S apply to all flood-prone land
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-LOW
Frankston is a coastal suburb in the Port Phillip Bay area with predominantly urban and suburban character, located outside major bushfire-prone regions. While some patches of heathland and scattered trees exist, the flat topography, proximity to water, and dense residential development significantly reduce bushfire risk. Properties are unlikely to fall within the Bushfire Management Overlay or Bushfire Prone Area mapping.

Frankston experiences crime rates higher than Victorian state averages, particularly in theft and property-related offences. The suburb has maintained relatively stable crime patterns over recent years with consistent police presence and community policing initiatives.

Heritage & Conservation
Frankston is a post-war beachside suburban centre in Melbourne's south-eastern growth corridor, with limited significant heritage listings. The main heritage interest centres on early 20th-century civic and commercial buildings near the railway station and town centre, reflecting its development as a seaside resort destination from the 1920s onwards. Most residential properties are modern or post-war suburban development with minimal heritage overlay protection.
