Frankton

Restoration of the boat shed and ticket office building on the Frankton waterfront is on track for completion at the start of May.

Tradesmen yesterday started to demolish a two-storey addition to the historic Frankton marina ticket office, while contractors cleared the overgrown site in preparation for restoration.

Along with the adjoining boat shed, which will have a new dual slipway for boat restoration, the office will be refurbished to include a cafe, maritime museum and outdoor seating.

A land swap has been agreed in principle to allow the construction of the Frankton Flats eastern access road and the Glenda Drive-State Highway 6 roundabout to progress.

A desperately needed early childhood education centre is ready to open in Frankton after independent commissioners indicated their approval this week.
