A fairer city

Melbourne 2030 plans for a fairer distribution of social and cultural infrastructure, and for better coordination and timing in the delivery of new services in development areas.

The stock of well-located, affordable housing in all parts of metropolitan Melbourne will be increased. Better information about mismatches between supply of, and demand for, affordable housing for different households and locations will highlight unmet housing needs and allow them to be better addressed.

By working with local communities, gaps will be identified in major social and cultural facilities in areas such as health, education, justice, recreation and the arts. These gaps will then be addressed. Ensuring that all communities have access to such facilities is vital to Melbourne 2030’s aim for community development and a strong cultural environment.
