Who will use Melbourne 2030?

Melbourne 2030 will be used by a wide range of organisations and individuals.

It will guide government agencies in matters such as infrastructure investment, the location of facilities, land-use planning and policy decisions.

It will give municipal councils a clear regional context within which to plan and manage local needs, and it will inform communities and individuals about the types of change they might see in their part of metropolitan Melbourne and the surrounding region.

Its long-term approach will provide the private sector, local government and individuals with the certainty and confidence needed to make investments and pursue opportunities.

This document sets out the essential features of Melbourne 2030 in a form suitable for use as a planning document – but which is also written for the public. For the general reader, the essential elements are explained in the section entitled ‘The strategic framework’. More detailed information is available in ‘Policies and initiatives’, in ‘Implementing Melbourne 2030’ and in background technical documents listed in the Appendixes.
