We have implemented a new 3D modelling system to support strategic planning decisions and development assessments in Glen Eira.
Planning in 3D
Glen Eira is a thriving, and diverse municipality with a population of around 155,000 — and growing. As we plan for the future, it’s important to balance growth with protecting the things our community values most.
With support from the Victorian Government's Digital Planning Grant, we're now using advanced 3D technology to visualise local buildings, the surrounding environment, development sites, approved projects, and proposed changes.
Our 3D modelling website helps the community and other stakeholders get a better understanding of planning projects and applications. It is especially useful during early design, engagement stages, and throughout the assessment process.
Glen Eira 3D map
The Glen Eira 3D map visualises buildings, with the currency ranging from January 2023 to September 2023.
How to: View textured/untextured buildings
- Select the “Map Layers” button in the bottom left corner of the map
- Expand the Buildings layer if necessary
- Select either “Textured” or “Untextured” to change the map view


3D model submission guidelines
For some types of development applications, submitting a 3D digital model may be required. These models help streamline the assessment process and improve design outcomes.
Applicants, developers and architects are encouraged to submit a 3D model where applicable.
Please prepare and submit 3D model as per the detailed 3D digital model submission guide.
