The HPA is a non-partisan community association and does not endorse political parties or candidates. We recognise however that the 28 November State Election is potentially very significant for Highett, related to the future of the Suburban Rail and Level Crossing Removal projects and increased housing density as proposed in the Plan for Victoria. 

In early October, the HPA asked all candidates in each District for their views and commitments related to Highett.

What a great day to be in Highett!

Thanks to everyone who came down yesterday to say Hi to the Highett Progress Association and for the coordinators of the 2nd annual Tunes and Taste Festival in Highett Village including Community Bank Highett who always champion our community.

The State Government has announced that the removal of the Highett Road and Wickham Road level crossings will be delayed again, with completion now pushed back to 2033.
