Since 2014 around 70 per cent of all new housing built has been in established areas. Planning will be undertaken to ensure that the best parts of Melbourne are maintained and the benefits experienced in established inner and middle suburbs of Melbourne from compact, walkable neighbourhoods can also be realised in middle and outer areas. This approach will support greater housing diversity and offer better access to services and jobs. It will also encourage the right mix of housing by enabling local residents to downsize or upsize without leaving their neighbourhood.
