Demand a better deal
The State Government is proposing the most significant change to Stonnington’s planning rules in decades. We all support increasing the housing supply to solve the crisis, but we believe everyone—current and future residents—deserves to live in a neighborhood that is well-designed and sustainable.
​
Stonnington is already doing the heavy lifting. In 2021, 75% of our dwellings were already medium or high density, compared to just 34% in Greater Melbourne. Our local plan already identifies space for 67,000 new homes—that is 17,000 more than the State’s own target.
The State’s plan forces one-third of all proposed metropolitan change onto Stonnington. Even worse, it is silent on the infrastructure required to support this growth.
​
I’m concerned that our residents don't understand how significant these changes will be and how they will impact the quality of life that residents in our communities will be able to enjoy into the future.
YOur voice is important!
The deadline is Sunday, 22 March. Your voice is the only thing that can force the State to respect our local wisdom.

What are the issues?
The State’s plan is a "population thrust" without a plan for livability.

What are the Maps?
It is hard to see what is being proposed given so little information from the State at this time.
These are some images I have put together to show how the State's plan for our suburban streets is different to out plan.
