Plan for Victoria is a whole-of-government, whole-of-community plan.
Achieving Victorians’ long-term vision for 2050 will rely on state and local governments, businesses and communities working together.
What the People’s Panel said about implementing Plan for Victoria
We envisage a plan that will proactively roll out development in an innovative and forward-thinking way.
Our community will be engaged throughout, ensuring the planning and building process is transparent and open to consultation. The plan will be delivered with clear accountability to ensure policy promotes thoughtful and complete realisation of our housing vision.
A whole-of-government plan
Plan for Victoria will guide the actions of all Victorian Government departments and councils. By setting the strategic planning direction for Victoria, it supports councils to plan at a local level.
As Plan for Victoria is implemented, more homes will be built in established areas close to jobs, public transport, facilities and services. These locations are well-serviced by existing infrastructure, reducing the need to build some types of new infrastructure. However, we will continue to deliver infrastructure to meet emerging needs. For example, more Victorians will mean more school children that need more classrooms, which might mean building new schools or upgrading existing facilities depending on the location.
A whole-of-community plan
While governments deliver major infrastructure, social housing and key public services, most homes, jobs and services are delivered by businesses responding to community needs. Community organisations (such as sporting clubs, religious organisations, schools and ‘friends of’ parks and waterways groups) also deliver the places and community facilities and services you value.
Plan for Victoria is not just a plan for what we’ll do in government. It’s equally a plan for governments, businesses and communities to work together to achieve a shared vision.
