Earlier this year, Council was invited to provide feedback on the planning directions released for the Victorian Government’s Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) precincts around future station locations. In Monash, that is Clayton, Glen Waverley, and Monash (close to Monash University, Clayton).

The SRL is an important transport project for Melbourne, and a potential game changer for how people travel to, from and around Monash. The Victorian Government is also looking to create greater density of housing and has powers as a planning authority to amend planning controls around the future stations to do this.

Our feedback to the Victorian Government reinforced Council’s support for the SRL but continued our requests for greater detail about the community infrastructure to support this growth – among other feedback.

It is crucial to get the planning for these areas right, and Council will continue to ask the Victorian Government for more genuine input into each step of the process.
