Victoria has been targeting the same suburbs for 40 years

Nearly half of the Victorian government’s 10 suburbs slated for increased density have been targeted in multiple similar plans as far back as 1981, leading some experts to question how realistic Labor’s goals are.

The Allan government is reviewing height limits and house design rules in Epping, Broadmeadows, Preston, Niddrie, Essendon North, Camberwell Junction, Ringwood, Chadstone, Moorabbin and Frankston to build 60,000 new homes, as part of its broader goal of 800,000 homes in a decade.
