Bayside City Council opposes Victoria's plan to downsize Bay Road, preferring road widening and limiting building heights.

The Bayside City Council opposes the Victorian government's plan to downsize Bay Road in Cheltenham, arguing it would harm the suburban character and cause traffic congestion. The government aims to create a pedestrian-friendly area with wider paths and cycle lanes. Instead, the council advocates for widening the road and limiting building heights to four to eight stories. The Suburban Rail Loop project is set to enhance public transit by 2035, with expected daily ridership of 8,000.
