Residents, workers and business owners are invited to share their thoughts about their local shops, as part of a major community survey across the City of Glen Eira’s 17 shopping strips.

Between late November and mid-February, Council will undertake community consultation to shape the vision and planning for local shopping strips. The shopping strips are Bentleigh, Carnegie, Elsternwick, Caulfield, Moorabbin, Glenhuntly, Alma Village, Bentleigh East, Caulfield Park, Caulfield South, Gardenvale, Hughesdale, McKinnon, Murrumbeena, Ormond, Patterson and Ripponlea.

Glen Eira City Council Mayor Cr Mary Delahunty said there’s significant infrastructure work taking place in our local shopping strips, including new developments, level crossing removals and station works.

“On the back of this, we are inviting people to help to shape the future of their local shopping strips, by taking a five minute, online survey,” Cr Delahunty said.

“This is your chance to tell us what makes your strip unique, what can be improved and what you’d like your shopping precinct to be like in 20 years’ time.

Input from the community will help guide future decisions on open space; private development, transport and parking, the mix of retail outlets, community facilities and services related to the strips.
