What we do.
The Committee is the peak advocacy body for our region.
We are an independent, non-partisan, member-based organisation which works beyond partisan politics to enhance the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of our region. We work collaboratively across industry, business, not-for-profits, and local government to influence a better Peninsula.
The Committee was formed because we can and must do a better job at attracting State and Federal Government funding, policy attention and sustainable investment.
In 2023, the Committee for Greater Frankston and Committee for Mornington Peninsula merged to better
advocate for our region with a collective, united and powerful voice.
