Project Status Updates
Project Status Updates – November 2023
On 20 September 2023, the Victorian Government released Victoria’s Housing Statement: The decade ahead 2024-2034, in which it announced the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) will continue preparing Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs) for new housing and jobs in Melbourne and regional Victoria. We will conduct further work across 21 projects to deliver more than 60,000 homes and 60,000 jobs. These projects will deliver a sustainable supply of greenfield land, and more jobs close to home.
While Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct is not named in the Housing Statement, the project is active.
We are working with the City of Greater Bendigo and our partners across Government on investigations and decisions about transport connections for the precinct and neighbouring Marong township. This work is being led by the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP), with support from the VPA, Council and other stakeholders. We are also commissioning a range of technical studies to inform our planning for the precinct.
We will update you as soon as possible when there are significant advances for the Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct.
If you would like any further clarity on the status of our planning for Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct, please contact Mat Garner at Mat.Garner@vpa.vic.gov.au.
