Level Crossing Removal Project cycling corridor

The Victorian Government's Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) is proposing an upgraded cycling connection between Glen Huntly Station and Caulfield Station as part of the Glen Huntly Level Crossing Removal Project. Following community engagement on proposals for Queens Avenue earlier this year, the LXRP has put forward new options that include Derby Crescent.

We want to hear your feedback on the LXRP's new options. This is an LXRP project, but we are keen to get your input so we can advocate for a solution that prioritises the needs of the community and local environment.

Reducing harm from gambling

All forms of gambling can cause harm and we’re committed to doing what we can to help prevent gambling harm.

We have a role in supporting our communities to prevent gambling harm through advocacy, partnerships, community support, planning and regulation. To do this, we are proposing a new Gambling Policy that would set out a framework for how we can best support our community.

To help develop the Gambling Policy, we want to hear about your experiences, your concerns and your ideas on what role Council should have to address the harms gambling may be causing to you, your family or the community.

Have your say on our draft Gambling Policy to help us support our community to reduce gambling harm.

Consultation closes Wednesday 1 May.

Moving together: easier, happier, safer and greener

We want Glen Eira to be a community of child-friendly neighbourhoods that are connected to a network of vibrant and well-designed walkable activity centres — a community that will have a range of travel options to service all our needs.

To deliver this vision, in 2018, we launched the Glen Eira Integrated Transport Strategy 2018–2031 — a long-term plan that guides the development of Glen Eira’s transport system.

To keep up with community needs, we are refreshing the Strategy, focusing on the priorities for the next five years. This includes things like public transport, roads and footpaths, trails and paths, safety measures and charging for electric vehicles.

Draft Economic Development Action Plan 2024–2026

We are refreshing our approach to support the growth of our local economy and businesses.

Our aim is to respond to new opportunities and challenges while also assessing the impact of our existing programs and services.

We want Glen Eira to have a thriving and sustainable local business economy, working together to support growth, pride and investment, so it is a great place to work, shop and visit.

We are considering Glen Eira’s current economic landscape as it continues to evolve, to gather better evidence and data of local needs.

We want your feedback and ideas on the three key themes and actions identified that will direct Council’s focus on economic development and business support over the next two years.

Consultation closes Wedensday 8 May.

Council meeting governance changes

Our Governance Rules and Meeting Procedure Local Law are the cornerstones of Council’s governance framework, supporting decision making at Council meetings in line with the Local Government Act 2020. 

We are proposing a range of changes that would affect how Council meetings operate. The most notable changes include:

• introducing acceptable behaviour rules for attendees to ensure the health and safety of Councillors, Council Officers and community members;
• introducing a Councillor's notice of motion and the option to revoke a motion; and
• clarification of the mayoral election process.

To implement these changes we are proposing an update focused on our Governance Rules. This would be supported by revoking the Council Meeting Procedure Local Law, introducing the Conduct at Meetings and Common Seal Local Law, and merging existing guidelines into a Public Participation Policy.

Consultation closes Sunday 20 May.

Our Biodiversity Plan

We are developing our first Glen Eira Biodiversity Plan. We need your help to protect our native species and improve our community’s connection to nature.

Protecting our native species requires the combined effort of everyone in Glen Eira, so we’re calling on you to help.

Biodiversity has wide reaching economic, environmental, and health and wellbeing benefits that support our ecosystems and protect our quality of life.

While Glen Eira has been urbanised for many decades, there are still some local places where native indigenous species have survived. When managed in the right way, our urban environment can both protect and promote biodiversity.
