Victorian Planning Authority

The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) formerly the Growth Areas Authority was  founded in 2006 to plan for Melbourne’s growth, maintain a steady supply of quality housing and identify opportunities to create jobs and encourage investment to make sure Melbourne continues to be rated as one of the world’s most liveable cities.

We work in partnership with local councils, landowners, industry bodies, local communities and the Victorian Government to ensure growth is well planned and to help deliver exciting Greenfield and Urban Renewal projects across Victoria.
