About the Precinct
The Melton East precinct is located 35km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD, to the east of the existing Melton township. The precinct encompasses an area of 1,005ha, bounded by Kororoit Creek to the north-east, Western Freeway to the south, Leakes Road to the east and the Melton Highway to the north-west. The precinct will complement existing surrounding development through the provision of residential and commercial opportunities. The precinct is included in the Melbourne Strategic Assessment area and includes Biodiversity Conservation Strategy conservation areas along Kororoit Creek.

PSP 2.0
In 2019, the VPA undertook a review of the Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) planning process. The review set a new strategy to streamline PSP preparation by undertaking greater collaboration and co-design with our partners and adapting the resulting PSPs to be more compact and useful.
The Melton East Precinct Structure Plan has been prepared in line with PSP 2.0.
Project Status Update – September 2026
The Melton East Precinct Structure Plan has been gazetted, paving the way for new homes and jobs in north west Melbourne.
The Melton East Precinct Structure Plan was developed in partnership with Melton City Council and will deliver a new significant precinct that adjoins the existing Melton area. It will be a precinct that locates new housing close to open space, local parks, community facilities and the adjacent Melton Township activity centre – as well as delivering high quality commercial and industrial jobs in a new employment precinct. The precinct is expected to provide approximately 1,600 new jobs and 12,000 homes to the area.
Completing the plans for Melton East was an initiative of Victoria’s Housing Statement, one of 21 priority projects to deliver more than 60,000 homes and 60,000 jobs across Victoria. These projects will deliver a sustainable supply of greenfield land, and more jobs close to home, while we plan for more housing choice in all parts of Victoria.
With the amendment now gazetted, please contact Melton City Council for queries on future planning permit applications.
