Project Status Updates – November 2024
You’re receiving this email because you subscribed to receive updates on the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA)’s planning for Greenvale North (Part 2).
The Premier and Minister for Planning have announced a 10-year plan for Melbourne’s greenfields, and Greenvale North (Part 2) is a part of that plan.
A 10-year plan for Melbourne’s greenfields
The Victorian Government has released Victoria’s longest ever pipeline of new land for homes and jobs in Melbourne’s greenfields, with 27 additional greenfield areas to commence planning over the next 10 years. This pipeline gives developers the confidence to invest early and get shovels in the ground sooner to deliver more homes.
The 27 new plans will be developed over three horizons. The horizons provide a program of work to deliver the new PSPs over the next 10 years, balancing the delivery of residential and employment areas as well as infrastructure capacity.
Greenvale North (Part 2) is in Horizon 1, meaning it is already under preparation in 2024/25. We expect this project to be approved by mid-2025.

VPA Business Plan 2024-25
The Minister for Planning has approved the VPA Business Plan 2024-25, outlining our work program and priorities for this financial year.
Greenvale North (Part 2) is on the VPA work program for 2024-25. Combined with its inclusion in the 10-year plan, this is a strong commitment from government for the VPA to get on with our planning for Greenvale North (Part 2), and to streamline and fast track the delivery of our plans where possible.
Update on our planning for Greenvale North (Part 2)
We have been progressing the planning for Greenvale North (Part 2) by continuing to resolve outstanding submission items through workshops and discussions with key stakeholders. We have also begun to update the Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) and associated planning scheme amendment documentation.
Since our last update in September, we have:
- Continued to investigate alignment on submission resolution.
- Met with stakeholders to discuss and workshop outstanding submission items.
- Prepared to attend a VPA Projects Standing Advisory Committee, including attending a Directions Hearing to confirm timelines for issue resolution.
In the coming months, we will be focused on resolving submissions and finalising the PSP. A Standing Advisory Committee may occur early next year.
