Active engagements
Future Waste, Greener Glen Eira
We want to understand your values and preferences to inform future thinking around waste, and how to reduce and dispose of it.
This is because as well as planning for a separate glass recycling service to be delivered by 2027, some of our waste service contracts are being reviewed in 2024.
So, as part of this planning, we have a major opportunity to inform how we manage our waste more responsibly and sustainably.
To get this right, we’re putting our community at the centre of the future planning.
Join the conversation to learn, share ideas and be part of our greener, more sustainable future.
Consultation closes Sunday 31 March.
Canopy Tree Protection Local Law
We are looking for ways to expand and protect tree-canopy coverage throughout Glen Eira — because we know it’s important to our community and because we have some of the lowest levels of tree-canopy coverage of any Melbourne council.
A new Canopy Tree Protection Local Law is proposed to protect our urban forest canopy — the fragile, essential network of trees that shade and cool our streets and footpaths throughout Glen Eira.
We encourage you to find out more about the proposal by attending a face-to-face drop-in information session, or booking a time to discuss the proposal over the phone with the Urban Forest team.
Consultation closes Sunday 12 April.
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.
