Can you believe that it has been nearly 10 whole years since the new Ormond, McKinnon, and Bentleigh stations reopened after their level crossing removal!? Do you remember what it was like before? How have these new stations and the level crossing removals impacted you?

For some it might not sound like much to ask for an extra $37 per year if the result is raising $3 million, but to others it might sound like a lot. What do you think? Voices of Bentleigh is keen to hear the thoughts of our local community

📢 Glen Eira City Council says raising rates to 5 per cent in 2026-27 would generate about $3 million in extra revenue annually and equate to about $37 extra per year for the average rated property.
