The 20 Year Vision

Local Planning Strategy

As a local business the 20 year vision presents new opportunities for growth, employment and jobs.

Our Local Planning Strategy is a 20 year plan that helps the City prepare for anticipated population growth, that will be achieved by increasing density in and around activity centres, located along major roads, transport nodes and  public transport corridors.

In general the Local Planning Strategy aims to:

• Encourage increased intensity in and around activity centres, transport nodes and along transport corridors
• Provide greater housing choice
• Improve access to different levels and types of retail, commercial and employment opportunities
• Have vibrant and diverse commercial centres that meet both local and regional needs
• Encourage a sustainable and appropriate transport network to assist with the economic development of the City.

My Future Melville Speaker Series

In 2016, the City held the My Future Melville Speaker Series, which provided the community with an opportunity to hear  about the long term vision, as well gain a better understanding of plans for local areas and activity centres.

Below are the presentations from each session.
