As part of Plan for Victoria, the Government has elected to upzone dozens of train stations as part of the Activity Centres Program. This is a sound policy. Melbourne has bountiful infrastructure and the ability to accommodate many more Melburnians in the places where they want to live. We have outlined the impetus for transit-oriented planning reform in our previous reports including Melbourne’s Missing Middle and Missing Middle Housing Targets.
Here, we build upon previous work to answer a simple question: across Melbourne’s transport network, which additional 25 train stations should be prioritised for inclusion in the Activity Centre Program?
