THE Level Crossing Removal project has begun consultation on its precinct plans at Suburban Rail Loop train stations. The rail loop is planned to begin on the Frankston line at a new train station built next to Southland Shopping Centre on Sir William Fry Reserve.
The state government is working on plans for the precincts surrounding the station, which will include allowances for increased housing development. The Cheltenham and Clayton precincts include proposed building heights ranging from four storeys to 18 storeys. It also includes proposals for open space, cycling connections, and community facilities.
