Help us plan your neighbourhood
Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) will not only transform our public transport network – as Australia’s largest housing project it will also help deliver thousands more homes, jobs and services to the areas around the new stations.
To help achieve the balance of more quality housing choice, more jobs, and improved local amenities and open spaces, we need to change some of the planning rules. Draft structure plans and draft planning scheme amendments have been released for the neighbourhoods around the six SRL East stations – including your local area.
These documents take into account the extensive community and council feedback we’ve heard over several years – and we again invite the residents and traders of Clayton and Monash to have their say.
The draft structure plans include proposed changes to land use, height limits and building designs, car parking, open space, connections and many other urban planning outcomes that will help ensure Clayton and Monash grow sustainably and remain vibrant places to live in the decades ahead.
Take a look inside to see more details about the future direction of your neighbourhood, including how we’ve responded to your feedback. You’ll also find information about where to speak to our experts and how to make a submission – so you can help shape your community for the next generation.
