From those who live, work and do business in Melbourne, to those who have shaped – and will shape – our city’s future, we want to hear what matters most to everyone. With our population set to soar past 9 million by the 2050s, now is the time for important conversations about a vision for Melbourne we can all be proud of. Your contributions will be invaluable in shaping both our short and long-term goals, so together we can turn our shared M2050 Vision into reality.

Phase one of consultation has now closed. Thank you to everyone who attended the M2050 Summit or the People’s Panel, or shared their vision for Melbourne in 2050 in the short survey. Your insights will help shape the future of City of Melbourne's policies, programs and services, particularly as we develop the Council Plan 2025-2029.
