Last Tuesday, Victorian Premier Ben Carroll announced changes to the Suburban Rail Loop, including the removal of the planned underground interchange at Box Hill as part of a $2 billion savings package.
But major infrastructure decisions need to consider the long-term needs of the communities they are designed to serve.

Box Hill is evolving into a vibrant, high-density hub and with that growth comes an important opportunity to create more places for people to connect, relax and enjoy the outdoors.
That’s why Council is continuing to advocate for additional public open space at Box Hill Brickworks.

This is the place for open space.

The privately owned, 7-hectare Brickworks site is one of the last significant undeveloped parcels of land in Whitehorse. It’s a rare opportunity to create a lasting community asset and ensure Box Hill’s future includes not just great transport and new homes, but great places for people.

With new planning controls allowing buildings of up to 10 storeys on the site, no more than five per cent of the seven-hectare site is currently set aside for public open space.
As Mayor Cr Kirsten Langford told 3AW Drive with Jacqui Felgate, Council believes this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure meaningful open space for Box Hill.

As the area grows, we need to think beyond buildings and transport infrastructure and make sure there are great places for people.
