Draft Key Directions for Precinct Plans
On Sunday, the 28th April 2024, the SRLA published the draft Key Directions for Precinct Plans for each of the 6 SRL stations in The Age newspaper. Whitehorse City Council was only notified that this was going to occur the evening beforehand. Such poor communication from the SRLA to Council does not encourage confidence in the SRLA process when it comes to valuing the input of Councils and local communities.
Each of the draft Key Directions for Precinct Plans for the 6 SRL stations can be found by clicking on the links below. This is a vital opportunity to provide your feedback directly to the SRLA while viewing the maps. There are 5 questions, and in addition to selecting a smiley face that reflects your response to the question opposite the map, there is also the ability to add additional comments. Additional comments are so important, no matter how short, so please take the time to leave them. If you have alternate ideas to those presented in the maps, this is the perfect opportunity to detail them.

“The Suburban Rail Loop is not just about a train. It is vital that the residents of Box Hill, Burwood and surrounds familiarise themselves with the drastic planning and development changes the SRLA are proposing for these areas, and provide their feedback to the SRLA, Whitehorse City Council and their State Government Representative by 30th June 2024. Every voice matters, and now is the time to use it”.
