The Minister for Planning is considering whether to prepare, adopt and approve Draft Boroondara Planning Scheme Amendment C411boro at 60 Denmark Street, Kew (the former VicRoads Office and car park).

This land is the old transport corridor of the defunct Kew Railway line.

It appears that current intentions are to rezone the land for housing.

There is a golden opportunity to use some of this corridor to create the Kew Railway Line Trail that would:

• Provide a shared path for safe active transport – including walkers, bikes, scooters and wheelchairs.
• Connect Kew junction to the Grace Park and the nearby Glenferrie Road precinct and the Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail
• Provide a safe trail for kids to ride their bikes

You can make a submission to the government [here].

Note: submissions close on 16 August
