In 2024, we sought feedback from our community on a preliminary concept design for an upgrade to the Bellerive Avenue retail centre.

This project is part of Monash Council's Local Activity Centre (LAC) Rolling Renewal Program, which aims to create attractive local retail centres in the City of Monash.

The upgrades aim to improve pedestrian access and traffic safety at the centre, provide better opportunities for outdoor dining/trading and boost the visual environment with trees and garden beds.

Feedback was collected via our online survey, direct emails to Council as well as telephone calls. This feedback was used by the project team and the designers to finalise the design in line with the project’s budget and scope.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback.
