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.

Project Status Updates

Project Status Updates – July 2024

We have been holding regular workshops and meetings with Melton City Council and other key stakeholders to progress the planning for the Melton East PSP.  

Since our last update in May, the project team has been: 

  • Finalising the Kororoit Creek bridge feasibility analysis, transport modelling and integrated transport assessment. 
  • Finalising the cultural values assessment and aboriginal cultural heritage impact assessment process with the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Heritage Corporation.  
  • Responding to agency validation feedback and issues resolution. 
  • Advancing our draft place-based plan and draft Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) with input from government stakeholders. 

We recently completed the agency validation process. This milestone provided government stakeholders a formal opportunity to submit feedback on their key priorities, to be incorporated into the PSP. 

In the coming months, we will focus on refining the place-based plan and draft PSP based on agency validation feedback.   

We will also finalise and publish the following technical studies: 

  • Kororoit Creek Bridge feasibility analysis  
  • Cultural Heritage permit for proposed bridge locations 
  • Transport modelling and integrated transport assessment 
  • Aboriginal cultural heritage impact assessment 
  • Cultural values assessment 

Following the agency validation process, we will prepare the infrastructure contributions plan, design and costings and the planning scheme amendment to be released for public consultation.
