Have your say: Shape the future of Camberwell Junction

Boroondara Council wants to hear from you. They invite your feedback on the draft Structure and Place Plan for Camberwell Junction via their survey. The council has shared a guide for transforming the area into a more vibrant, inspiring and community-focused place into the future.

Why this is important

Camberwell Junction is an important activity centre for Melbourne’s eastern suburbs – for shopping, employment, public transport, services and housing. Its popularity is growing and more residents in the future will call it home.

In 2021, Camberwell Junction was home to about 2,500 residents in 1,200 homes. According to Census data, in 2051 this will increase to 5,800 residents and we’ll need 1,500 more homes.

Council needs to demonstrate to the Victorian Government that they have a plan to meet housing and employment needs from now until 2051. Having this plan also ensures the community can have a say in decisions about this major activity centre.

About the draft Structure and Place Plan

The draft plan carefully considers the close relationship between private development and public land. It has two distinct, yet complementary parts:

1. The Structure Plan, which responds to current growth forecasts for the next 20+ years. It guides the design and scale of new development, while also protecting the character of the centre that locals love.

2. The Place Plan, which provides a vision and a pathway to improve liveability in Camberwell Junction. This includes identifying how we can improve public space, upgrade transport infrastructure and community facilities, expand greenery and raise safety for all.

Explore the draft plan in the Document library to learn more about the exciting major improvements that aim to deliver the community’s vision and priorities for the centre.

Camberwell Junction’s top priorities:

1. Thriving economy
2. Sustainable living
3. Built form
4. Public realm
5. Access and movement
6. Community wellbeing
