Delivering Melbourne's newest sustainable communities

On 17 June 2009, the Government announced a package of projects that make up Delivering Melbourne's newest sustainable communities.  This package will plan for a Melbourne population of 5 million.

The Government is seeking public feedback on its proposals to:

• Revise Melbourne's Urban Growth Boundary and designate land for development;
• Plan the alignments of the Regional Rail Link (west of Werribee to Deer Park) and the Outer Metropolitan Ring/E6 Transport Corridor; and
• Define the boundaries and management of areas for grassland reserves in Melbourne's West.

Public feedback is also sought on the findings set out in the Strategic Impact Assessment Report for Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

For more information about this package of projects, and how to make a submission, please visit the Victorian Government Delivering Melbourne's newest sustainable communities website.

Please note that if you own or occupy land that is likely to be affected by one of these proposals, you should receive a package of information including maps showing the proposals by mail by Tuesday 23 June 2009.  If you do not receive the package, and believe that you are affected, please call 1800 090 789.
