  • Inquiry Into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne
    Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne April 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This submission is presented to the Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne by Mitchell Shire Council. Mitchell Shire is Melbourne’s newest growth municipality. When the State Government changed the Urban Growth Boundary in 2010, it included parts of the Mitchell Shire. Within the body of this submission, the following points are raised. Wallan & Beveridge have a greater proportion of people with higher incomes. This is likely to result in high expectations for quality services and infrastructure. The data suggests that attracting and retaining health professionals from the metro area to a growth municipality like Mitchell remains a challenge for planners. “Planning for Community Infrastructure in Growth Areas” Wyndham City Council, City of Whittlesea and others – April 2008 could be used as a template for minimum standards of infrastructure provision. In simple terms, the existing roads won’t cope with the population growth. Developers will need encouragement to contribute more to liveability activities or tackle the issue themselves. A Developer Contribution Plan template for growth areas would assist. Often shopping facilities lag population growth for usually sound economic reasons but strategic planning needs to address this issue at the early planning stages. 2 Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne April 2011 The State Government has created regions across Victoria and Mitchell Shire sits in the Hume Region – whose administrative headquarters sit in Benalla, Wangaratta or Shepparton. The distances result in a disjoint, as Mitchell has far more in common in its South with Melbourne than with Wangaratta or Benalla.
