Understanding what you want for Victoria
We visited every part of the state to meet with Victorians: in the places they live, work, go to school, play sport, shop, volunteer, relax and just go about their daily lives.
We also undertook hundreds of hours of modelling to identify well-connected, well-serviced locations to support large numbers of new homes, including considering access to jobs, environmental constraints and development feasibility.
Setting a vision
We believe the best people to set the vision for Victoria are Victorians themselves. So, we put together a People’s Panel and asked them to write a vision statement for the future of Victoria.
The panel’s final report, reflecting its consensus, said it expected current and future governments to use the vision to build Victoria towards 2050, in line with community needs.
The plan's five pillars for action
Plan for Victoria is structured around five pillars.
They are:
- Housing for all Victorians: delivering sufficient affordable homes for all Victorians
- Accessible jobs and services: making sure you have good access to facilities and good jobs
- Great places, suburbs and towns: creating thriving places that are attractive, safe and welcoming for everyone
- Sustainable environments: preserving the natural values of Victoria and addressing climate change
- Self-determination and caring for Country: underpinning and informing the other pillars.
Actions
This is a plan to guide the Victorian Government’s actions to deliver the future Victorians have said they want.
But it’s not simply a plan for what the government will do. We’ll need to all work together: the Victorian Government, councils, businesses and communities.
Together, we can shape a future Victoria that is socially and economically strong, environmentally resilient and sustainable, with great places to live.
This is a plan, a plan of actions, that will deliver for all Victorians
Implementation and monitoring
This is a living plan that will continue to address emerging issues and respond to meet the needs of future generations of Victorians. It includes actions we can take now while creating opportunities to jump in and add actions as needed.
To stay focused on achieving our vision for Victoria, we’ll find out what’s working and what’s not, adjust our actions, deliver new actions, and report back to you.
