The Urban Development Program (UDP) provides an annual update on:

  • the pipeline of major residential redevelopment projects in established areas;
  • the supply of broadhectare residential land in Melbourne’s Growth Areas; and
  • industrial land supply.

The UDP collects information and feedback from sources across state and local government, as well as additional datasets on housing and associated land development.

In 2016 an additional report on State Significant Industrial Precincts (SSIPs) provides a detailed analysis of land use in the SSIPs including:

  • supply of land
  • consumption of land
  • building space
  • economic use of land
  • estimates of the exhaustion of vacant land

Regional UDP reports

These reports are updated less frequently than the Melbourne metropolitan area. The Greater Bendigo report has been updated in 2017, most of the other reports were completed between 2009 and 2012. Similar reports for Geelong are produced by the Geelong Region Alliance.
