Our Approach
PKCF responds to the Frankston community’s most critical social and economic needs. To do so effectively, we focus our resources on targeted areas to maximise our impact.

Under this plan, the key community building outcomes are:
- Healthy community
- Stronger families
- Safer and stronger community
- Sustainable economy
- Learning community
- Sustainable environment
