Access: How could Council make it easier and safer to walk and cycle?
This online discussion forum has concluded. You can still browse the site but the discussion area will no longer accept new comments or votes.
We have a wide variety of transport options in Holdfast Bay: a railway line, a tramline and local bus services, and we also have a number of cycle and walking routes. We aim to reduce car dependency and encourage increased social interaction, activity and well-being by locating more housing close to community transport.
What are your views about higher density residential housing, shops, businesses, entertainment, recreation and other services being located in and around our train and tram lines?

The appearance (or form) of buildings vary greatly within Holdfast Bay. However, with the exception of Glenelg, residential building height in Holdfast Bay is predominantly single storey.Where would you support three or more storey buildings (e.g. Jetty Road Glenelg, around Brighton and Hove railway stations, etc)?
