Future Occupants Tour Frankston Building Site

26 June, 2023

Representatives from future occupant groups were invited to take part in a walkthrough of the new building this week. Following an update on construction progress the group toured each level of the site viewing the new spaces that are taking shape. The installation of structural steel to support the roof structure has now commenced and once completed will tie into the concrete core of the building. In parallel to the steel, the first of the Fletcher Road windows have arrived and installation is now underway. Fit out of the lower floors is also progressing well with the building on track to reach lock up stage.

As work continues on the $67.6 million Frankston Redevelopment Project, Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister for Training and Skills Gayle Tierney were on site last week with Member for Frankston Paul Edbrooke to view the amazing progress.

With the structural steel and building core near completion and the third-floor slab now in place the group were able to see some of the building’s core features taking shape. Work on internal walls and services rough-in continues, with the building expected to be watertight in the next 6 weeks. Once this milestone is achieved the team will turn their focus to the internal fit out.
