Stage 2 - Project Updates
Premier Tours Frankston Redevelopment Site
12 April, 2023
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. Accompanied by Chisholm Board Chair Prue Digby, CEO Stephen Varty, and Director, Infrastructure and IT, Richard Pratten, the group were led on a tour encompassing all three levels of the future state of the art facility.
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.

Members of Chisholm’s Board were on site this week for a tour through Stage 2 of the Frankston Redevelopment Project. Led by Kane Construction’s Senior Project Manager, John Moran, the group inspected the ground level infrastructure before moving up to level 2 to better see how the building will fit into the surrounding campus grounds. There was an opportunity to visualise the planned atrium space at the centre of the new building and to further discuss some of the construction techniques being implemented on site. The tour showcased the great progress that has been made on site to date and provided a sneak-peek at some of the key features of the build.
