4 The Vision for Melbourne Melbourne will be a global city of opportunity and choice. This will be achieved by: + Protecting the suburbs + Developing in defined areas + Creating a clearer and simpler planning system + Rebalancing growth between Melbourne and Regional Victoria + Identifying an infrastructure pipeline

6 Population pressures Melbourne s recent population growth has been profound. Over the past decade, the city has added over 600,000 new residents, with almost 60 per cent making their home in the outer suburbs. Key Issues: + Congestion + Affordability + Accessibility + A changing climate + Rural encroachment

7 New regional structure + 5 metropolitan subregions: Central, Western, Northern, Southern, Eastern + Each subregion: anchored by a National Employment Cluster, major economic gateways (a port, airport or interstate freight terminal) and contains Metropolitan Activity Centres

8 National Employment Clusters + Focused on knowledge-based businesses that locate close to each other + Access to a skilled labour pool and infrastructure and the potential to share ideas and knowledge + Will continue to evolve into vibrant, diverse locations well-served by public transport + Each NEC is anchored by specialised activity (such as a university, research facility, medical facility or manufacturing enterprise) + Existing: Parkville, Dandenong South, Monash + Emerging: Sunshine, East Werribee, La Trobe

9 Metropolitan Activity Centres + Play a strategically important role for their subregional catchments by providing the community with good access to a range of major retail, community, government, entertainment, cultural and transport services. + These centres are a focus of public transport networks and will continue to attract broad investment in education, health and other services. + Existing: Dandenong, Footscray, Fountain Gate/ Narre Warren, Epping, Sunshine, Ringwood, Broadmeadows, Box Hill, Frankston + Future: Toolern, Lockerbie
