Street furniture — relocation, new installation and removal requests

We install and maintain street furniture to support the community, including:

• benches/seats
• picnic tables
• bicycle racks and hoops
• bins.

They help create functional and appealing public spaces within Glen Eira by providing places for people to rest, dispose of rubbish and secure their bikes.

Place, relocate or remove street furniture

Street furniture is valued by the community, and any decisions to place, relocate or remove these assets are guided by our Street Furniture and Asset Policy.

If you wish to request the relocation, removal or installation of street furniture, please complete the online form below. You will need to provide details about the furniture such as:

• a photo and a map location of existing furniture, if applicable
• the new location if requesting relocation or placement
• the reason for installation, relocation or removal.

All street will only be relocated or removed following an assessment under Council policy. Street furniture can’t be easily relocated or removed as they require concrete footings and must meet design standards for safety. Relocations will only be considered if there is minimal impact on the community, or if a suitable alternative location is identified.

Terms and conditions

• All costs for approved requests to relocate or remove Council assets are to be covered by the applicant.
• All costs for approved requests for the installation of new Council assets will be covered by Council.
• Relocation requests will only be considered if both neighbouring and impacted properties have agreed in writing (to be obtained by the applicant).
• Council reviews requests on a quarterly basis.
• Each request will be assessed based on Council’s relevant strategic plans, guidelines, and frameworks. 

Please note: You must read the Street Furniture and Asset Policy before submitting a request.
