Glen Eira City Council has adopted a Structure Plan for East Village and has commenced the Planning Scheme Amendment process for the precinct.

Glen Eira Deputy Mayor Cr Jamie Hyams said the Structure Plan has been developed through extensive community feedback, with more than 380 submissions received and 177 appearances at community forums across four stages of community engagement in 2017.
