Melbourne 2030
(Planning Backlash)
CRA supports the group (Planning Backlash) calling for a review of Melbourne 2030 (M2030), a controversial planning policy introduced in 2002 aimed at concentrating residential development within 120 “Activity Centres” to curb urban sprawl. The State Government has established an Audit Expert Group (AEG) to audit M2030 implementation. The AEG has received 204 submissions from the development industry, planning professionals, resident groups (such as CRA) and individuals. Residents groups have been universally critical of the Audit, its questionable Terms of Reference and inadequate consultative processes.
