flag Frankston Beach launches $165,000 pilot to boost accessibility with wheelchairs, hoists, and support for visitors with mobility challenges.

flag Frankston Beach in Melbourne is launching a $165,000 pilot program this summer to become Australia’s most accessible beach, offering beach wheelchairs, hoists, shaded day beds, matting, and a concierge service for people with mobility challenges and older adults. flag Funded by local ratepayers and donations, the initiative, inspired by a program in Nice, France, aims to provide inclusive beach access despite no federal support, even though the government pledged $17.1 million for accessibility projects. flag Local officials and advocates say the low-cost model should be adopted nationwide.
