YIMBY Melbourne today released our first flagship report—Melbourne's Missing Middle—on necessary changes to Victoria’s planning and tax systems to build a more liveable, sustainable and affordable city for all.

The government now has an opportunity to expand activity centres for soft density everywhere.

Setting ambitious housing targets and providing incentives to meet them is the best way to ensure that Melbourne and all of Australia has enough homes where people want to live.

Enabling six-storeys mixed-use across Melbourne's inner-city is what's needed to earn the title of Australia's 'most liveable city'.

For a bigger, better, and more sustainable Melbourne, housing abundance, via inner-city densification and building up, rather than out, is the only viable path forward.

The establishment of independent Planning Panels with clear, outcomes-focused criteria has the potential to transform housing affordability in Melbourne.

YIMBY Melbourne launches a new website, announcing Policy Pillars and releasing Local Action guides. This comes exactly one month after our Maribyrnong City Council win.

On Tuesday 20th June, Maribyrnong City Council voted unanimously to abandon Planning Scheme Amendment C172, saving more than 800 homes from onerous heritage protections.

The budget promises reform to the tune of $23 million, but this will only be as effective as the government is willing to be bold.

YIMBY Melbourne applauds the federal government for acknowledging within this year's Budget the critical importance of building more housing.
