Inclusive, liveable, sustainable, prosperous, and enriching. Plan for Victoria sets the state-wide vision for how Victoria will grow over time. This is a plan for Victoria written by Victorians.
This plan is for all of Victoria: for Melbourne, our regional cities and the many towns and small communities across regional and rural Victoria.
Victoria is made up of unique locations and landscapes, from our temperate coastal towns to across the Great Dividing Range and to our semi-arid north-west. Each has its own identity, history and opportunities.
Plan for Victoria respects the diverse, distinctive, local characteristics of where people live across our wonderful state.
“By 2050, Victoria will be a vibrant, accessible and connected community, valued for its diverse cultures, sustainable environmental practices and respect for the First Peoples of Victoria.
The people’s panel vision for Victoria by 2050
Building a state that provides choices and opportunities for current and future generations of Victorians in quality housing, transport, employment, environment and connectivity will require input from the community, government, local businesses and industry alike.
We will create a society that caters to the unique needs of all Victorians, nurturing individual health through physical and cultural recreation.”
The five pillars of action
Plan for Victoria is structured around five pillars:
- Self determination and caring for Country
- Housing for all Victorians
- Accessible jobs and services
- Great places, suburbs and towns
- Sustainable environments
The Victorian Planning Authority works with government departments and agencies, local councils, Registered Aboriginal Parties, landowners and development partners to plan for the future urban structure of places identified in Plan for Victoria.
