The City of Melbourne identified Southbank as an area of urban renewal. To support the area’s significant residential and employment growth, the Southbank Structure Plan 2010 was endorsed by the Future Melbourne Committee on 14 September 2010. The Southbank Structure Plan provides a vision and strategy for the future development of Southbank as an integral part of the central city, with the Yarra River – Birrarung at its centre. .
In 2021, the City of Melbourne conducted an audit of the Southbank Structure Plan 2010 – outlining progress to date and what future works remain to be completed. That document is now publicly available here.
The City of Melbourne implemented a number of the actions identified in the structure plan through Planning Scheme Amendment C171 to the Melbourne Planning Scheme.
