Policy 9.4 – Develop a strong partnership
with local government
Informed involvement from local government is critical
to successfully implementing Melbourne 2030 and achieving
its potential. The Government and local councils will need to establish
and maintain an ongoing partnership.
Councils will be asked to work with the Government
in deciding how best to approach the variety of policy and implementation
areas covered by Melbourne 2030.
Regular two-way communication with councils will
occur as the implementation program evolves. Forums will be held
with appropriate groupings of councils to discuss key issues and
information will be made available on new concepts such as Neighbourhood
Principles. All information will be in an easily accessible format.
Councils will be asked to contribute to the regular
formal and informal reviews of Melbourne 2030 and of its
progress.
