Planning for Melbourne
A new Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Strategy
The Victorian Government has commenced preparing a new metropolitan planning strategy to manage Melbourne’s growth and change as it moves beyond a city of four million people.
The strategy will consider where new housing and business activities should be concentrated as well as transport connections, health services, schools, sports grounds and parks.
The metropolitan planning strategy will be developed through extensive engagement with the community and stakeholders.
It will be informed by research into issues such as land supply and housing affordability, opportunities for employment, transport and infrastructure provision and environment and risk.
