Victoria Unveils Major Planning Reforms for Housing Growth
By Ravs Realtors · 18 September 2026 · 1 min read · Source: Madgwicks
The Planning Amendment (Better Decisions Made Faster) Act 2026 aims to create a more efficient planning framework. 'Plan for Victoria' replaces 'Plan Melbourne', introducing housing targets for every local government area.
Developers and investors in Melbourne's western growth corridor may find accelerated approval processes for new projects. This push for increased housing supply could lead to more development opportunities and potentially more affordable housing options in the long term.
