Planning For All of Melbourne
The State Government released Planning For All of Melbourne in May 2008.
This report sets out a framework for action for the next five years in response to the findings of the Melbourne 2030 Audit Expert Group Report, 2008. It includes actions in four key areas:
- Planning for all of Melbourne
- Transport and managing congestion
- Environmental sustainability and climate change
- Managing urban growth and change
There are several actions that are of particular interest for Yarra:
- The establishment of Development Assessment Committees (DACs) to make planning decisions in relation to principal activity centres and sites considered to be of State, regional or metropolitan significance.
- The State Government working with councils to develop clear requirements for the amount and diversity of housing needed in each municipality and to implement the new residential zones.
- An action to introduce a new flexible Activity Centre Zone which would be accompanied by a tailored development framework for each centre.
- Working with councils to implement the Inner Melbourne Action Plan.
