Right now, we are having our biggest ever conversation with our community and we want you to get involved.

We’re calling it Our Place, Our Plan. It is about listening and hearing your views so we can shape Glen Eira together.

What you tell us will help shape our plans for the next four years to continue to support a safe community, build thriving places and businesses and protect and enhance our open space and natural environment.

It will also help us stay on the right track to progress the Community Vision that you developed for what Glen Eira could look like by 2040.

We're asking for the community's ideas about what's important to them when it comes to things like:

We also want to hear more about how Council can support our local neighbourhoods. Pin your ideas to the map below to tell us what your local area needs most.

For example, street beautification, road or footpath repairs, signage, lighting, access to programs or services, events, or more trees and plants.

Keep an eye out for one of more than 20 ideas boxes stationed at different locations around Glen Eira, in Council facilities and other community spaces. We invite you to write on a postcard to share your feedback on ways to improve your neighbourhood.

We're reactivating the Community Priorities Panel, recruiting 40 new members who reflect Glen Eira's rich diversity.

Members of the Panel will have the opportunity to represent their family, neighbours, and community and think big about how we can shape Glen Eira together.

Through a series of five meetings, members will hear from Councillors and senior Council officers, learn more about our organisation, consider our challenges and opportunities, take in research and data, and provide informed recommendations to Council.

Members of the panel will receive a reimbursement for their participation in all five meetings (terms and conditions apply).

Applications closed on Tuesday 25 February.
