The City of Melbourne prepared its own submission to the proposed Amendment C407 and the Arden Structure Plan, which identifies a number of key issues to be resolved.

There are a number of elements in the Arden Structure Plan that City of Melbourne support, including the provision of new open space to support the growing community, strategies to green the public realm, the proposed transport network which prioritises people walking, riding a bike and using public transport, and a target for zero net emissions by 2040. The proposed future health and education uses will help create a thriving innovation precinct.

However, we submit that the proposed Planning Scheme Amendment and revised Arden Structure Plan further consider:

• Better alignment of the Arden Vison and key elements of the Structure Plan with the proposed planning controls.
• Opportunities to deliver significant affordable housing.
• Proposed development density and built form controls’ capacity to achieve high quality urban design and amenity outcomes.
• Effective facilitation of innovation and employment uses.
• The quality of open spaces.
• The implementation of key strategies such as environmental sustainability.
• Funding and delivery of future infrastructure projects.
• Community rights to participate in future planning processes.

The 2018 Arden Vision and the 2020 draft Arden Structure Plan were prepared in partnership by the Victorian Planning Authority and the City of Melbourne.

The proposed Planning Scheme Amendment C407 and Arden Structure Plan have been prepared by the Victorian Planning Authority and Department of Transport, in consultation with the City of Melbourne. City of Melbourne is committed to working with the Victorian Government and our community to realise a high-quality, inclusive, climate-adapted, globally competitive innovation district.

City of Melbourne has reviewed the proposed Planning Scheme Amendment, including the Structure Plan and Development Contributions Plan, and made a written submission to the Victorian Planning Authority on 6 October, 2021, identifying a number of issues yet to be resolved.
