Additionally, it provides a comprehensive overview of the current state and the potential future opportunities within the six precincts in SRL East.

The SRLA is actively seeking input now from stakeholders, including landowners and area businesses, on their views on the draft ambition statements and priority outcomes for each precinct.

Suburban Rail Loop Precincts Summary

Planning & Design for SRL's East Precincts

The State Government released the SRL Precincts Discussion Paper (August 28th) as part of its launch of the next round of engagement on the $125 billion Suburban Rail Loop project. The project aims to deliver 90km of new rail lines across Melbourne’s middle suburbs linking Cheltenham to Werribee. The initial stage of the project is focused on a 26km stretch known as SRL East, consisting of 6 precincts at Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood and Box Hill. These precincts will feature twin tunnels and new underground stations for each precinct, with precinct planning focused on unlocking the potential for the 1.6km neighbourhood radius around each station.

What the Discussion Paper Says

The Discussion Paper documents previous consultation for the 6 precincts, highlights policy direction taken from key policy objectives in Plan Melbourne and identifies Precinct Principles which will guide the planning, design and development of the precincts. The document concludes with an overview of the current state and future opportunities of the 6 precincts, including snapshots of demographic characteristics such as travel mode split, household composition, dwelling type, resident age and job profile by industry sector.

Next Steps

The SRLA is seeking the views of landowners, residents, traders and local stakeholders to shape the future vision of each of the new precincts. As the long-term planning for these precincts has commenced, now is a critical time for stakeholders and landowners to provide input into the long-term planning and design of these areas.
