                    City of Melbourne plays a major role in shaping the city through strategic urban planning and our capital works program. We plan, deliver and partner on projects that support the city's social, cultural and economic life, and have oversight of many of the major infrastructure projects transforming the city such as Metro Tunnel and the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal Program.

                    Our planning and building services provide assistance and advice about construction and land use in the municipality. We assess planning applications, and administer and enforce the Melbourne Planning Scheme, which controls land use and development within the City of Melbourne.
