Help us plan for our 2023–2024 Budget
Open until Sunday 16 December 2022
Are we on track with our spending priorities for the next financial year? Let us know and be part of our 2023–2024 planning and budget process.
Our current spending priorities are based on the community feedback we received on the Community Vision, our Council Plan and our last two budgets.
As we plan the third budget for this Council’s term, we want to check-in to see if the priorities you have already identified are still important to you.
Take our survey to indicate where you think Council should be spending more or less.
Draft Elsternwick Structure Plan 2022
Open until Sunday 16 December 2022
How can we guide growth in Elsternwick to ensure it contributes to things our community values?
Elsternwick is a diverse and growing area, with a vibrant shopping strip, accessible public transport and desirable residential streets.
We have developed the draft Elsternwick Structure Plan, to help guide growth in suitable areas and ensure any growth contributes to our high-quality streets, public open spaces, heritage character and amenity.
The draft outlines a shared vision for the area’s future and is a culmination of technical analysis and design work and builds on previous stages of consultation.

Murrumbeena Park landscape upgrade
Open until Sunday 18 December 2022
The Murrumbeena Master Plan 2019 identified the need for more open space within the park to cater for the current and growing use. Additional parking has been constructed as part of the pavilion upgrade (completed October 2022), allowing the next phase of the master plan implementation to commence.
The project involves the closing of Bute Street carpark, to develop an additional recreational space which will include:
- multipurpose court
- picnic shelters
- seating areas and
- scooting and skating loop.
Hard Rubbish Collection Service Review
Open until Sunday 22 December 2022
Hard rubbish collections help manage bulky household items and waste that don’t belong in our bins — it’s also an important service to help keep Glen Eira clean.
Currently, residential households in Glen Eira can book three hard rubbish collections, three bulk cardboard collections and three bundled branch collections each year. You can book anytime, whenever it is most convenient for you.
We're conducting a hard rubbish service review to ensure that the collections we offer are up to date with community needs.
The review will also identify opportunities to improve sustainability outcomes, provide value for money, equitable services and support Glen Eira's transition to a circular economy.
We want to hear your feedback about hard rubbish and check if the current approach is working well for you.

Open until Sunday 22 December 2022
