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.

Urban Renewal

As Melbourne grows there is the opportunity to reimagine some existing areas that are well-serviced by existing infrastructure and services.

Urban renewal involves unlocking under-utilised areas for jobs, investment, and housing. It can often involve rezoning land, improving an area’s amenity and identifying transport and infrastructure needs.

The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) provides

planning solutions for urban renewal of precincts or strategic sites to implement planning policy, deliver value and create community benefit; and
strategic planning advice and support for precincts and areas with and for other state government organisations.

We do this in partnership with councils, communities, stakeholders and government organizations in established areas of metropolitan Melbourne.

Our work contributes to city shaping the future, delivery of local jobs and 70% of housing growth in established Melbourne.

Streamlining for Growth

The VPA recently announced its Streamlining for Growth program.

You can read more about Streamlining for Growth program here.
