The Victorian Planning Authority proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely.

We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us.

We embrace the spirit of reconciliation, working towards the equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice.

What is a structure plan?

A structure plan is a planning document used to implement a framework or vision for a precinct. It includes the future layout of streets, parks, community facilities and development sites, and provides guidance around the types of buildings and land uses that are appropriate. It also provides contextual information about the local landscape, cultural values, policy environment and economic drivers.

In 2018, we created the Arden Vision, which sets out a strategic vision for the precinct and the priorities that will guide its development. The Arden Structure Plan outlines the objectives and strategies to achieve the Arden Vision. It will guide how the precinct should develop in the short, medium and long-term.

The Arden Structure Plan supersedes the Arden-Macaulay Structure Plan (2012).
