Background

The Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) has released draft precinct structure plans and planning scheme amendment for each station precinct within the SRL East project, which involves constructing rail tunnels and 6 new stations between Cheltenham and Box Hill.
The draft plans outline the type of housing and development that will surround the new stations including:

  • the Cheltenham project at Sir William Fry Reserve (Highett) next to Southland
  • the Clayton project, north of Centre Road

The draft plans provide direction on housing growth, employment priorities, community infrastructure and open space provision and transport connectivity.
