Overview

The Suburban Rail Loop East Precincts Standing Advisory Committee was appointed by the Minister for Planning on 1 June 2025. The Committee will provide advice to the Minister on the draft structure plans and draft planning scheme amendments for the areas around the future Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East stations.

SRL will deliver a 90-kilometre orbital rail line connecting Melbourne’s middle suburbs, linking every major train service from the Frankston Line to the Werribee Line via Melbourne Airport. SRL East is the first stage of the project being delivered from Cheltenham to Box Hill, with 26 kilometres of twin tunnels connecting six new underground stations.

The Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) has prepared draft structure plans, implementation plans and planning scheme amendments for each SRL East Precinct – the neighbourhoods around the new SRL East stations at Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood and Box Hill. These draft documents are available on the Engage Victoria webpage.

These documents aim to guide future land use and development and support new housing, jobs and services around the stations. SRLA invited public submissions on these documents in March and April 2025.

The Minister for Planning referred specific matters to the Suburban Rail Loop East Precincts Standing Advisory Committee on 7 July 2025.
