Plan Melbourne 2017-2050
Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 is the metropolitan planning strategy to manage Melbourne's growth and change over the next three decodes.
Integrating long-term land use, infrastructure and transport planning, Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 sets out the strategy for supporting Jobs and growth, while building on Melbourne's legacy of distinctiveness, liveability and sustainability.
The strategy contributes to the overall vision for the state, and includes links with regional Victoria.
The updated plan builds on the extensive work and consultation underpinning Plan Melbourne 2014 and previous metropolitan strategies and guiding policy documents including Melbourne 2030 and Melbourne@5million.
Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 will be given statutory effect through amendments to the State Planning Policy Framework within the Victoria Planning Provisions.
Plan Melbourne Addendum (2019)
The Plan Melbourne addendum updates Plan Melbourne with the most recent population and employment projections. It includes additional information on industrial and commercial land requirements, information that was not available in 2017 and which further support Plan Melbourne’s directions and policies.
It acknowledges further development of the Government’s long-term infrastructure agenda and updates the 2050 spatial framework map to include new transformational projects such as Suburban Rail Loop.
It also seeks to embed the 20-minute neighbourhood concept into major infrastructure projects, helping to create and connect neighbourhoods that enable people to meet most of their everyday needs within 20-minutes of their home.
It is to be read in addition to Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 and the Plan Melbourne implementation plan. It was prepared in recognition of changes that have occurred since the release of Plan Melbourne in 2017.
Note: The employment projections and industrial and commercial land requirements set out in the Plan Melbourne addendum have been based on those included in the draft Melbourne industrial and commercial land use plan (MICLUP). These were current at the time of its release in November 2019. Through the process to finalise the MICLUP the employment projections and land requirements may change. The final MICLUP will be released later in 2020.
