How does this plan relate
to Melbourne 2030?
The UGB reinforces Direction
2 of Melbourne 2030.
This direction establishes a UGB to set clear limits to metropolitan
Melbourne’s development (Policy
2.1) and it seeks to concentrate urban expansion into growth
areas that are served by high-capacity public transport (Policy
2.2).
It also ensures protection for the green wedges that surround metropolitan
Melbourne (Policy
2.4).
What are the recommended
actions?
Actions designed to address the key issues outlined above and to
achieve the directions of Melbourne 2030 are grouped as
follows:
- applying the UGB
- modifying the UGB in growth areas
- applying the UGB to other areas
- legislative support.
These are summarised for easy reference in the accompanying table.
