Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 In a bid to boost land supply and make housing more affordable, the Victorian Government has planned 17 new suburbs across Melbourne which will provide 100,000 lots within two years. The Victorian Planning Authority on its website said the rezoning of 100,000 lots within two years in key growth corridors spread in seven of Melbourne’s growth councils will help tackle housing affordability head on. The planning of these 17 new suburbs will roll out over the next two years. NEW SUBURBS: West of Melbourne: Quandong, Tarneit Plains, Kororoit, Mt Atkinson, Plumpton North-west of Melbourne: Lancefield Rd Sunbury, Sunbury South North of Melbourne: Lindum Vale, Beveridge North West, Beveridge Central, Donnybrook and Woodstock, Wollert, Northern Quarries South-east of Melbourne: Minta Farm, Pakenham East, McPherson The new suburbs will have all the amenities like town centres, schools, open public spaces and key infrastructure when people move in, the State Government said. "I think that's what's so important about a steady land supply going forward, but also quality planned environments for people who are going to live here," Planning Minister Richard Wynne said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Yep, but what about the infrastructure, they never role it out at the same time. So you move to the knew suburb and when your children leave school we get infrastructure in the suburb. We got a primary school and a high school where I live after my children had left school.

Beffers Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 And is it true that they're looking at a third airport out Pakenham way? I know they're extending Avalon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all finalises next summer, so they will probably start building on it end of 2018 early 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiew Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The great thing about the Lancefield road corridor is that the stations and primary schools are in place already. It will need its own shops though to keep the Sunbury congestion down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambethlad Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Yeah, more tiny, crappy blocks in the back of beyond. Land should be dirt cheap in Oz but zoning of land for subdivision is strictly controlled - keeping prices artificially high. There is plenty of land much closer to amenities and infrastructure already in place but council's won't rezone because of greenie pressure. I would love to be able to subdivide my 8 acres in the City of Frankston and sell the blocks for half the price the land rats are selling for.
