Future of Housing in Port Phillip

Guiding Port Phillip's growth

Port Phillip’s population is growing. As more people choose to call Port Phillip home, housing growth and change will need to be effectively managed to meet the changing needs of our diverse community. To help us do this, we are developing a new Housing Strategy for the municipality. 

A Housing Strategy is a town planning document that will inform how best to accommodate housing growth in Port Phillip, over the next 15 years, in way that also maintains the city’s character, accessibility, and inclusivity. 

 The Housing Strategy will provide strategic direction on:  

• how much new housing we need; 
• what types of housing we need; 
• where we should locate new housing; and 
• how we maintain and enhance our valued neighbourhood character  

The strategy will eventually inform updated planning policy and planning controls in the Port Phillip Planning Scheme, in line with key State planning policy direction.
