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 6 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 Glen Waverley to have their say.
The draft structure plan includes 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 Glen Waverley grows sustainably and remains a vibrant place 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.
How we’ve responded to your feedback in the draft structure plan
We’ve reduced proposed building heights in some areas, including:
Location | From | To |
|---|---|---|
Parts of Bogong Avenue and Myrtle Street | 25 storeys | 8-9 storeys |
High Street Road (except for The Glen), the eastern side of Springvale Road and the northern side of Waverley Road | 10 storeys | 7-8 storeys |
South of Waverley Road | 10 storeys | 6-7 storeys |
| Areas north of High Street Road and east of Mount Road | 6 storeys | 4 storeys |
- The most significant housing growth is planned for central Glen Waverley.
- Workplaces, health services and education facilities will increase substantially, and new and upgraded community facilities will be provided.
- The draft structure plan includes new crossings and street upgrades making it easier to move around without a car.
- Open space will be improved, including upgrades to Bogong Reserve and Jordan Grove Reserve.
- Kingsway will remain a vibrant retail, hospitality and entertainment strip.
