No decision to use Council sports fields or open spaces for Level Crossing Removals

In recent days, there has been community discussion about the level crossing removal projects at Surrey Hills and Mont Albert. Residents have expressed concern that important community open spaces may be used for storage or access by Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) during the project.

Whitehorse City Council has not agreed to the use of any Council space or facilities for this project. LXRP may request the use of certain spaces, but Council will always place a high priority on the amenity of residents and local sporting clubs.

Council is actively engaged with LXRP, advocating for the interests of our community and local economy. We are preparing a submission to the LXRP on the project on behalf of the City of Whitehorse. Once finalised and submitted, Council will share the contents of the submission with the community via our website.

I encourage interested residents to register with LXRP to stay up to date with that project; and with Council to receive alerts on Whitehorse community consultations.

Whitehorse Mayor,

Councillor Andrew Munroe
