Chapel Vision
Her Majesty′s location is included in the Chapel Vision: a study undertaken by the Stonnington City Council. That vision is to create and maintain:
″A vibrant and sustainable place enriched by its distinctive social and cultural diversity and inclusion, creative enterprises, economic vitality, movement networks, liveability, individual neighbourhoods and high quality, amenable public spaces.″
As a result of consultation with stakeholders, key interest groups, government agencies and the community, the aforementioned Vision for the Study Area has been prepared. The Vision provides the overarching direction for the strategic objectives and outcomes of the Chapel Vision Structure Plan.
The Chapel Vision Structure Plan seeks a collaborative solution that marries aspirations for competitive, high quality, regional employment and retail activities with the local roles of sustainable urban villages in meeting the convenience services, activities and housing needs of their communities:
