Urban and Regional Forums
Come and hear about Victoria and your region's future
The Spatial Analysis & Research Branch of the Department of Planning & Community Development conducts forums and information sessions across Melbourne and regional Victoria to promote and share the latest demographic and social research, the trends and drivers. See our Calendar of Events for more information. Presentations from the forums are also located on this page.
Who should attend?
The forums are a valuable opportunity for a diverse range of service providers, organisations, businesses, government departments and agencies to come together to explore the key issues and findings for Victoria and their regions. Understanding and communicating how these issues impact on urban and regional change is vital to making informed and sustainable decisions about the future development of Victoria.
