Keeping Footpaths Clear

If you rent or own a home or business in Kingston, you are responsible to ensure that any footpaths that adjoin your property are free from obstructions to pedestrians and traffic. Footpaths are important and are used for safe passage by pedestrians.
Planning for a growing Kingston

The Victorian Government estimates Melbourne will grow to 7.7 million people by 2051. Our city can’t keep sprawling ever-outwards, so local Councils are faced with the challenge of how to accommodate more people without losing the amenity of our neighbourhoods.
Planning for our future

We want to hear from our community to help shape the future of planning in Kingston.
