Action 4
Ensure statutory implementation of Growth Area Plans

Amend existing Ministerial Directions to be consistent with Melbourne 2030
Lead agent: DOI
The Minister has issued an amended Ministerial Direction No. 2 – Werribee Growth Area and an amended Ministerial Direction No. 3 – South-Eastern Growth Area which are consistent with Melbourne 2030. These amendments give effect to Melbourne 2030’s intent for the location of urban development. These directions will be further reviewed and/or new directions issued once the growth area reviews are completed.

Introduce the urban growth boundary
Lead agent: DOI
The Minister has introduced the UGB which immediately applies in planning schemes, and sets a limit on urban development in each growth area. Changes to the UGB
are subject to Ministerial Direction No. 10 – Urban Growth Boundary. The UGB may be revised in growth areas following the completion of the growth area reviews.

Prepare planning scheme amendments to implement the Growth Area Plans in planning schemes and refine the UGB where necessary
Lead agent: Local government
Councils will need to prepare a planning scheme amendment to incorporate the new or revised Growth Area Plans in planning schemes. This amendment may include refinements to the UGB.
