Moorabbin Marked For Growth

Now’s the time to have your say on the Victorian Government’s Activity Centre Program. The program will review existing planning policy for 10 activity centres in Melbourne to encourage the development of 60,000 new homes. Moorabbin (Hampton East) Activity Centre is one of these activity centres.

We don’t know exactly what this review will lead to, however, we expect that it will investigate increasing the existing building height controls and the size of the current activity centre boundary, as set in the Hampton East (Moorabbin) Activity Centre Structure Plan.

Change within the current activity centre is expected to be more significant as this area can accommodate more growth. As you get further from the activity centre, the amount of change and the number of new homes will decrease.

Potentially, the Moorabbin (Hampton East) Activity Centre catchment area could expand by 800m, taking in parts of Brighton East, Sandringham, Hampton East and Highett.

To inform our advocacy to the Victorian Government, we want to know what you think of the Victorian Government’s plan. The first phase of consultation is open until 29 April.
