Centre Road is at the heart of Bentleigh Major Activity Centre (MAC) and an important hub for the Glen Eira community.

We’ve heard your feedback and are taking action to refresh the Centre Road streetscape. A well-designed and inviting public space will enhance the shopping strip’s appeal, encouraging more foot traffic, and supporting local businesses.

We're enhancing the shopping strip with refreshed landscaping and upgraded public seating while preserving its local character, creating a more vibrant and welcoming public space for everyone to enjoy.

We’re asking for community feedback on the street improvement concept plan — Have your say before Sunday 27 April 2025.

The concept plan will inform streetscape improvements on Centre Road from Rose Street (west) to Jasper Road (east). This is a multi-year project that will be delivered in stages to minimise disruption to local business and the community.

This project is part of our Better Streets, Better Places program — Council’s plan for improving the main streets of Glen Eira’s activity centres over the next ten years.

Swipe the images below to reveal the planned improvements to the landscaping, trees and public seating areas.
