The Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) established a Community Reference Group (CRG) in Heatherton in early 2023.

The CRG provides a forum for local community and stakeholder engagement during planning, development and delivery of the SRL East stabling facility by:

  • Fostering meaningful engagement between the project, stakeholders and the local community
  • Informing SRLA and its contractors of community values, local conditions, priorities, concerns, opportunities and preferred outcomes
  • Assisting with resolving community issues associated with the stabling facility
  • Working with stakeholders and the community to mitigate and minimise local impacts
  • Providing opportunities for community feedback and input such as urban design and landscaping treatments
  • Advising stakeholders and the community of SRL East works and progress.
