Around-the-clock activities to enjoy and support your local traders
As we build Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East, it’s a great opportunity to explore your local neighbourhood and try new activities while helping local businesses.
Shops and restaurants remain open during construction, and there are plenty of great places to discover.
Take a trip around your neighbourhood.
Rise and shine
Did you know Glen Waverley was once called Black Flat?
Honouring the suburb’s past, Black Flat Coffee Brewers prides itself on being a café for locals, by locals. Grab something to read at Kingsway Newsagency while you sip and watch the world go by. If you have a craving for bubble tea or something sweet, Glen Waverley is the place to be. Try Happy Cup, Coco Bubble Tea , Sharetea, Machi Machi, Gotcha , Hey Tea and more.
Midday munchies
Kingsway is the heart of Glen Waverley, with dozens of restaurants showcasing cuisine from all over the world – lovers of Chinese, Hong Kong and Malaysian cuisine are especially spoiled for choice. You'll also be rewarded by venturing to Railway Parade North, where you’ll find Mixed Rice King, Nan Yang Kopitiam and Tang.
Activities from morning to night
There are plenty of family-friendly activities in Glen Waverley from morning to night. Explore Century City with Strike Bowling, Village Cinemas and games at Archie Brothers, or check out the new active gaming and indoor playground Cubetown at Kingsway Central. Looking to squeeze in some exercise into the day? Coreplus along Coleman Parade is great for pilates and yoga, and there‘s also Bikram Yoga on Springvale Road.
A little pampering
Tend to all things hair and beauty within a short walk from Glen Waverley train station. &You Hair Design is a Korean stylist, or there’s JN Hair and Beauty and U6 Hair Salon. For luscious lashes and brows, try Sienna Beauty Bar, and for facials, it’s just a short walk to The Beauty Lounge on Coleman Parade.
Dinner and fun after dark
The Kings Centre on Montclair Avenue has an incredible seven levels of restaurants and entertainment. Panda Kitchen has stunning rooftop views over Glen Waverley for drinks and snacks, and for dinner try Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot, House of Delight, Impression of Hunan or BBQ Lab. Finish the evening with BB8 Billiards, or a cocktail along Kingsway at Gambino.
Construction underway in Glen Waverley
As you explore these fantastic local shops, restaurants and activities, you’ll notice plenty of construction happening in Glen Waverley.
Crews are moving underground services and preparing to build the brand new SRL station.
We're realigning Myrtle Street between Coleman Parade and Montclair Avenue to make it easier to move around the area during the works.
While we build SRL East, we’re working hard to minimise impacts on the community and local businesses and traders.
