Welcome
This website was created as a grassroots response to the Suburban Rail Loop Program (SRLP), with a focus on the City of Whitehorse and the directly affected suburbs of Box Hill, Burwood, and surrounds. It is vital to understand that the SRLP is not just a transport project – it’s also about redeveloping the precincts around the SRL stations along with surrounding suburbs. This makes it a very complex project, and as such, it can be overwhelming to try and find comprehensive information about the significant aspects of the SRLP and the important long term impacts it will have on the community. This website attempts to make this process a little easier by having a centralised collection of information, including relevant legislation and Whitehorse City Council submissions, expert opinion and mixed media coverage of the SRLP, links to local community groups, as well as a list of ways your feedback on the SRL program can be provided to all levels of government, including the Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA). Most importantly, this website was created to encourage the community to become informed about the real changes the SRLP will bring and to inspire local residents to speak up.
Minutes from the Whitehorse City Council meeting Monday 13th May 2024
Council has requested the SRLA to enter a partnership agreement to develop the Precinct Structure Plans. Given no formal response has been provided to Council and the SRLA are well advanced in the preparation of the PSPs, there are risks that Council will not be invited to participate nor have the views it expresses in submissions genuinely considered. This brings the potential for reputational risks between the SRLA and Council, as well as risks that the project outcomes may not meet Council’s or the community’s expectations and aspirations, potentially leaving an untenable legacy for the Whitehorse community.
