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.

New and changing land-related agencies

A number of new government entities are in the process of being established whilst some existing entities are taking on new roles.  Some of these are as a result of election commitments, including the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) and Infrastructure Victoria (IV).  Others, such as the Latrobe Valley Authority, are as a result of government recognition of new priorities and opportunities.

Below is a list of the new and changing land related government entities.  This represents our interpretation of the roles and functions.  As the entities evolve this will be refined and may change over time.

The VPA is working with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and the entities to work out how best we can collaborate. Much of this process will be clarified with the update of Plan Melbourne.
