Plan Melbourne Strategy

The Plan Melbourne strategy sets out the government’s vision for the city to 2050. It responds to the challenges of population growth and drives economic prosperity and liveability, while protecting Melbourne’s environment and heritage.

The Melbourne Town Hall is lit in red. On its portico, two banners are displayed, both with Aboriginal artwork and the City of Melbourne logo. The one on the left reads "Aboriginal Melbourne", and the one on the right reads "National Reconciliation Week 27 May - 3 June". The right portico also has the Aboriginal Melbourne logo.

The strategy addresses Melbourne's infrastructure, housing, employment and environmental challenges with an integrated approach to planning and development that includes:

  • land use
  • transport
  • social and community infrastructure.

The strategy builds on an extensive consultation process following the release of the discussion paper, 'Melbourne, let's talk about the future'.

Community information sessions about Plan Melbourne were held in key metropolitan locations.
