The Residential Zones State of Play reports provide a an overview of demographics and housing for Metropolitan Melbourne and the four regional cities of Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, and Latrobe. The reports were prepared by the Managing Residential Development Taskforce in accordance with Clause 11 of the Terms of Reference (PDF, 109.6 KB).
Maps for each subregion and municipality are provided at the bottom of this page.
The taskforce also compiled a list of suggested improvements to the residential zones.
These documents (available below) were produced to assist the community, councils, the development industry and ultimately the Advisory Committee to review the implementation of the new residential zones.
