We want to provide all Victorians with the choice of a well-designed home, at an affordable price, in a place where they can thrive.
Right across Victoria, not enough people have the chance to afford a home close to the people and places they love. The status quo isn’t an option, we need to act now to make sure we build a future where every Victorian can afford a home that’s right for them.
We will need 1.8 million new homes in metropolitan Melbourne by 2051. Making sure that new homes are well-located will allow us to maximise use of existing infrastructure and transport. The starting point is to look for places where more homes can be built, and the types of homes we need to suit all kinds of Victorians in all kinds of places.
As part of Victoria’s Housing Statement, we are working with the Department of Transport and Planning to deliver 60,000 new homes close to services, jobs, and public transport in an initial 10 activity centres across Melbourne. It’s part of Victoria’s plan to deliver more homes for more Victorians, in the places people want to live.
