Victoria is growing and by the 2050s, Melbourne is expected to be home to 9 million people – the size of London today.
We’re carefully planning now to ensure areas around SRL East stations will be ready to meet the needs of our growing population.
Building the new underground stations at Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood and Box Hill provides an opportunity to enhance the surrounding neighbourhoods (or precincts), making them even greater places to live, work, visit, study and shop.
We’re planning to ensure these areas benefit from an improved range of infrastructure and services, providing better connections to jobs, open space and community facilities – all on the doorstep of world-class public transport.
Structure plans for SRL East Precincts will set out a shared vision and provide a framework for how areas around the new stations will grow and change over time while protecting and preserving the features people love about them now.
The plans will guide change in each precinct over decades by defining the preferred outcomes important to the local area. These might include future land use, buildings, and additional infrastructure, open space, car parking and the future street network, among others.
After consultation with local councils, the structure planning boundaries for the areas around the six new SRL East stations are now confirmed. Click here for more information.
Planning Scheme Amendments (PSAs) will be required to implement structure plans into the planning schemes of the cities of Bayside, Kingston, Monash and Whitehorse.

Building on previous community feedback, local studies and ongoing planning, we are preparing a structure plan and draft planning scheme amendments for each SRL East Precinct – the neighbourhoods around the six new underground SRL stations.
To do this, we have developed a set of proposed key directions that seek to address current and emerging challenges and meet the demand for greater housing choice and the needs of a growing population.
Visit our precinct vision website to learn more about the key directions and provide your feedback.
Consultation is open until 11.59pm Sunday 30 June 2024.
