If there is a single takeaway from our submission it should be this: that these reforms are not radical. Rather, they represent common- and best-practice in planning from around the country and the world, and work predominantly to correct the devastating consequences of previous planning interventions.

Through a focus on building in established areas, the Activity Centre Program is an opportunity to redistribute wealth and means to a greater number of Victorians.

Planning restrictions are not just a problem for Greater Melbourne—they're a problem across our entire state, including Ballarat, Mildura, and Castlemaine.

Politicians on all sides have failed to produce meaningful supply-side policies as part of their election platforms. The Abundant Housing Network of Australia has six.

The more that Australians learn about restrictive zoning, the more that they want to see outdated rules reformed.

There's a lot to like in this new Plan. Now it's time for state and local governments to move quickly, enabling and delivering the homes that people need.

YIMBY Melbourne welcomes the Government's ambition to undo decades of indifference and build the city Melburnians deserve.

YIMBY Melbourne welcomes further codification of the planning system, reducing the burden of its byzantine structures, and saying yes by default.

YIMBY Melbourne welcomes the willingness and ambition of the Victorian government to enforce targets—but housing capacity must be feasible capacity.

The Victorian government has capitulated to wealthy landowners to turn a reform from walkable to unworkable.
