Draft Clause 12 explained
Changes to the State Planning Policy Framework to give effect to Melbourne 2030 are proposed following the consultation period. This advisory note contains a draft of a new Clause 12 to be included in the State Planning Policy Framework in all planning schemes. Other consequential changes to the State Planning Policy Framework will also be required to remove superseded provisions and update references.

The draft clause sets out the directions, policies and implementation measures in Melbourne 2030 that are relevant to land use, development and subdivision. It is an example of how the directions and policies in Melbourne 2030 may be expressed in the State Planning Policy Framework following the consultation period.

From Day One, planning authorities, responsible authorities and other stakeholders are expected to consider and implement relevant parts of Melbourne 2030. To help identify which parts of Melbourne 2030 might be relevant to a proposal and to identify any gaps in the draft clause, councils, government departments, developers and the community are encouraged to use the draft clause to help them in considering Melbourne 2030. The draft is also provided for consultation purposes, and comments are welcomed. On the basis of practical experience during the consultation period, we would particularly like to know whether you find that the draft clause adequately expresses and gives effect to the land use, development and subdivision directions and policies in Melbourne 2030.
