The Victorian Planning Minister, Matthew Guy, has met with local councils to discuss the next phase of consultation on the direction of Melbourne's planning future. 

 

In the coming months, Mr Guy has announced he will host a series of forums with metropolitan mayors and chief executive officers as well as industry stakeholders to further discuss the future of the city's planning direction.

 

"Melbourne and Victoria are experiencing important changes to the way we live and the way we want to live. These forums will give direction to our discussions and will provide important information for our ultimate vision," Mr Guy said.

 

"Planning for Melbourne's liveability, economic growth, jobs and future investment needs to look not at the now, not at the next five years but for the next decade and beyond."

 

The Metropolitan Planning Strategy is expected to be completed by mid to late 2013. For further information and to have your say visitwww.planmelbourne.vic.gov.au
