Draft Urban Design Advice document

We have prepared the draft document based on your feedback. We will use this document to advocate to the LXRP for our community’s preferences and help guide its design of the new open space.

We have included some key elements of the document on this page. You can also read the full draft Urban Design Advice document in the ‘Downloads’ section on this page.

Draft vision for the plaza

This revised concept plan is based on feedback during community consultation and urban design advice. It reflects the option most preferred by the community during consultation.

We have marked the ideas included in our Draft Urban Design advice in the map below.

It's important to note that our advice to the LXRP is that the delivery of the Box Hill to Hawthorn Strategic Cycling Corridor needs more discussions between the:

  • community
  • Department of Transport
  • City of Boroondara
  • City of Whitehorse.

This will help work out the best possible outcome for all stakeholders.
