Draft Croydon Major Activity Centre Structure Plan

Following community consultation in 2021 on what Croydon means to you, Council has prepared a draft Croydon Major Activity Centre Structure Plan.

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with us on this project to date.

In 2021, we asked you to share your ideas and provide feedback on the Croydon Major Activity Centre (MAC). You can read more about how we used that feedback to develop the draft plan on the Croydon MAC Issues and Opportunities Your Say page.

Consultation update

Since 2022, we’ve considered your feedback to help identify opportunities for the area. Our draft Croydon MAC Structure Plan outlines a shared vision for the area’s future to help guide development in suitable areas, ensure growth contributes to our high quality streets, laneways, public open space, heritage character, creek and wetland and amenity.

• You can find the summary of the draft Structure Plan here.
• For more details of the Structure Plan, please refer to the full draft Structure Plan document.

Vision for the Croydon MAC

The centre is the heart of the Croydon community, supporting civic life, culture, and activity, shopping, and employment. It has a vibrant main street focused on independent retailers, set within a distinctive landscaped environment. It is an attractive, desirable destination for people to live, work and play in Melbourne’s east, providing a range of retail, office and business opportunities, housing types and community and education facilities.

The centre is known as a green, sustainable place where the treed canopy and nature permeates throughout, celebrating water, First Nations history and Tarralla Creek. The centre is inclusive and accessible with public spaces that are well connected, encouraging walking, cycling and public transport use.
