The Glenferrie Place Plan has been adopted by Council, so we can move ahead with work to revitalise the heart of Hawthorn.
Our Place Plan outlines how we’ll enhance streets, spaces and community connection over several years.
Nine initiatives include plans to upgrade streetscapes and laneways, bring arts and culture into public spaces, and support vibrant shopping and ‘smart city’ innovation.
It evolved through extensive community consultation, starting in 2020. First, we asked you to imagine a better Glenferrie, collecting your ideas alongside our analysis. Your feedback helped sharpen a vision for the precinct and prioritise how we can bring it to life.
From March to May last year, we asked for your feedback on streetscape upgrades to Glenferrie Road and future car parking arrangements in the Council car park between Liddiard and Park Streets.
On 11 December, Council adopted the Place Plan. The final plan features streetscape improvements to revitalise Glenferrie Road and keeps the Liddiard Street car parking as is.
How will the future Glenferrie look and feel?
Adopting the Place Plan means we can move ahead with enhancements and major improvements that create:
- streets and public spaces with more greenery
- more places for people to meet, shop, relax and learn
- a flourishing and diverse local economy and community
- a place where everyone feels welcome.
