The Victorian Government released the latest Growth Corridor Plans, approving six Precinct Structure Plans to create new suburban communities at Diggers Rest, Lockerbie, Lockerbie North, Manor Lakes, Merrifield West and Rockbank North.

 

The announcement comes after the completion of the Logical Inclusions Review into Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary.

 

“Growth corridors identified in the plans will provide for housing, jobs, transport, town centres, open space and key infrastructure across our city’s newest metropolitan suburbs,” State Planning Minister Matthew Guy said.

 

“Local Councils have played a key role in the formation of these plans, which were the first to be completed as part of an accelerated program aimed at improving land supply in areas requiring an increase in housing lot availability.”

 

Approval of the six PSPs will see the completion of planning for the delivery of over 60,000 new housing lots.
