Overview:

As part of the Victorian Government’s strategies for sustainable metropolitan development and accommodating population growth, Box Hill are expected to develop into high-density, pedestrian-friendly urban centers that are intimately connected to public transport services, so as to help reduce urban sprawl and dependency on private motor transport.

The design guidelines will direct future improvement works in providing a design framework for consistent and uniform treatment to urban landscape designed spaces within Box Hill. These Guidelines also define the design framework and standard of quality, style and application for public realm elements within Box Hill. It is intended to direct a more consistent urban character, and at the same time define a character that is unique to Box Hill.
