The new housing developments come under a state government plan to deliver an extra 60,000 homes across 10 suburban activity centres.
New housing developments up to 20 storeys high will be fast-tracked under a state government plan to deliver an extra 60,000 homes across 10 suburban activity centres including Camberwell, Chadstone, Niddrie and Ringwood by 2051.
The new planning controls will apply in 10 activity centres across Melbourne: in Broadmeadows, Camberwell Junction, Chadstone, Epping, Frankston, Moorabbin, Niddrie, North Essendon, Preston and Ringwood.show 12-storey developments will be subject to the more lenient rules along Burke Road, between Canterbury and Reserve roads, as well as on land along Camberwell Road, between Auburn and Seymour groves.
Each activity centre will have different height limits and boundaries. These have been developed following consultation with communities.Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny said the plans recognised that Victorians wanted homes in areas close to jobs, transport and their families. This strategy included a pledge to build 60,000 homes in established suburban areas, designated as activity centres, with a view to expanding this ambition across 120 locations in Melbourne.
