State Government Planning Reforms
Victoria is undergoing transformative change, with the State Government’s release of a number of important planning reforms.
These changes will affect the way that Manningham grows and will have impacts on the character and liveability of our neighbourhoods.
We will continue to advocate to the State Government on the implications of these reforms. We’re urging the State Government to continue to consult with us as we work closely with our communities to ensure these reforms align with their needs.
Plan for Victoria
The State Government released its new statewide strategy, Plan for Victoria, on 28 February 2025.
The Plan for Victoria focuses on directing housing to activity centres close to stations and public transport. With updated planning controls, activity centres and priority precincts have been identified as the key places for the delivery of more homes.
The identified priority precincts are based around the Suburban Rail Loop precincts, including Box Hill and Burwood. The targeted activity centres are focused around the 60 identified activity centres that have both fixed rail and tram infrastructure.
It’s proposed that new planning controls will provide for taller buildings in the core of these centres and lower rise apartments within walking distance of the centre. None of these precincts or activity centres fall within Manningham.
The Plan Victoria is based around five pillars:
- Housing choice at an affordable price and close to daily needs. This includes the Activity Centre Program – planning for more homes in and around activity centres and the housing targets
- Accessible jobs and Services
- Great Places, Suburbs and Towns
- Sustainable Environments
- Self Determination and Caring for Country
Housing targets
On 24 February 2025, the Minister released the final housing targets for each local government area within Victoria, for delivery over the next 30 years.
Following Council advocacy, Manningham’ s housing target has been reduced to 28,500 dwellings, from the original target of 39,000 dwellings.
This revised target will have implications on Manningham’s future residential growth strategy and the identification of areas for increased densities.
Manningham Residential Strategy
We’re currently preparing a draft Residential Strategy that will respond to this target.
The next stage of consultation on the draft strategy will focus on identifying how housing growth and diversity of housing types will be managed in the urban parts of the municipality.
Townhouse and Low-rise Code
On 25 February 2025, the Victorian Government announced a new Townhouse and Low-rise code to come into effect in all planning schemes.
These changes represent a significant departure to the standards for multi-unit development under ResCode, which have been in place for many years. In addition, where a development proposal is deemed to meet the Code, residents will still be able to lodge an objection to council, however, will be unable to appeal the matter in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).
Activity Centre Program
On 27 February 2025, the Victorian Government announced the final 25 ‘train and tram zone’ locations to the Activity Centres Program.
This program is part of the Victorian Government Housing Statement reforms to provide capacity for 300,000 additional homes to 2051.
No additional activity centres within Manningham have been identified as part of this announcement.
We’re currently preparing detailed draft Activity Centre Design Guidelines to manage built form outcomes for residential development within our neighbourhood activity centres.
What happens from here
We expect that the implications of these reforms will become clearer in the coming months.
The changes will have direct impacts on a number of strategic projects being progressed by Council.
We’ll continue to keep you updated on any further changes announced by the State Government.

- upgrading older style toilets to improve safety and be gender inclusive
- conduct accessibility audits and upgrade access paths to public toilet facilities
- provide Changing Places at major destinations around Manningham

The benefits of a public EV charging network
The benefits of a public charging network in Manningham are many and varied.
Ensure that EV charging is accessible and practical
- Many users rely on public chargers to power up while on the go, or because they don't have the infrastructure at home.
- A public charging network will ensure that residents living in apartments, rental properties, or areas without dedicated parking can access EV chargers.
Reduce our transport emissions
- Transport emissions account for nearly a quarter of Manningham’s greenhouse gasses. This rate is higher than that of other councils in Melbourne – and nationally.
- Encouraging more people to use electric vehicles powered by renewable energy will help decrease our transport emissions, which is essential for us to reach net zero emissions in Manningham by 2035.
Boost local businesses with enhanced car parking
- EV users will likely be attracted to shops and activity centres that provide EV chargers. While charging up, EV users can explore nearby shops, businesses and recreational facilities.
Increase driver confidence
- EV users can travel confidently in and around Manningham knowing they can rely on a network of fast chargers to top up on the go.
Support a cleaner and greener Manningham
- Powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, the charging network will help to improve local air quality, reduce noise pollution and enhance fuel security.
Considerations for public charging
We acknowledge that some people in the community have reservations about this emerging technology. The following information will help you understand the strict safety measures and protocols employed by the technology providers.
Are EV chargers a fire risk?
- Fire risks are generally associated with the batteries in EVs, not the chargers themselves. EV chargers are designed with fire safety measures and must meet Australian standards for safety certification. EVs are significantly less likely to catch fire than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, by about 60 times.
Is my data safe?
- Both providers operate under the Privacy Protection Act and are held to strict standards to ensure they do not disclose any data. Strict data security protocols are in place to safeguard user information.
