Frankston Council now resorting to lies and deception

 Long Street Reserve - Option 1

If you believe Frankston City Council the Building and Car Park only take up 22% of the land. Here's what they said:

When they made those comments, they certainly wen't using Option No 1 shown at the top of the page. According to a www.planning.vic.gov.au report the site is 8778 square metres. You can determine the building size by scaling the plan image against known measurements. When you do that:

• Car Park Area not including paths - 630 sq metres or 7.18%
  
• Building - 1659 sq metres or 18.9%
  
• Licensed Play areas - approximately - 2328 sq metres or 26.5%
  

It comes to a whopping 4600 sq metres or 52% of the Long Street reserve. So what exactly did they mean by 78% kept for bush kinder and public use? I guess what they really meant was another 30% used by Bush Kinder with no public access.

Long Street  Reserve Option 2

So what about Option 2? Option 2 definitely uses less area and it's footprint on the site (effective area used) is marginally less, but again it's no where near 22% with 78% remaining.

The 22% with 78% remaining is just plain misleading. But that's not the first time Frankston City Council has set out to mislead the public.
