Why is the Victorian Planning Authority doing this work?

A timely review of the Precinct Structure Planning (PSP) process has been identified to address calls for the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) to streamline current process and align with emerging planning policy.

The review set aspirational targets including streamlining PSP preparation into a lean 2-year process and optimising the PSP product to embrace innovation, deliver government policy and co-design the next generation of PSPs.

This work is part of an ongoing program of continuous improvement. The VPA is always looking for opportunities to improve the efficiency of our processes and the quality of the plans that we produce for Melbourne’s growth.
