2.0 MELBOURNE Victoria

‘Melbourne was voted the world's most liveable city for seven years running' Melbourne is Australia’s second largest city and voted the world’s most liveable city for seven consecutive years by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

This comes down to a unique combination of diverse demographics, strong sports, entertainment and café culture and well-planned transport systems and infrastructure.

The Melbourne property market has a rare structure, with varying growth rates on product type (houses and apartments) and location making it difficult to place the city on the property clock. Broadly speaking, Melbourne’s housing market performed strongly between 2012 and 2017 – with only Sydney recording a higher growth rate.

The markets segmented nature means each region must be assessed on its individual merit. The division in the market exposes opportunities and the sub-markets best representing growth potential.

infrastructure.

With population growth like this, Melbourne needs to add 45,000 new dwellings per year, or nearly 1,000 per week. A record 18,000 Australians migrated to Victoria in 2017, largely because of housing affordability and job creation. Melbourne has been growing faster than Sydney over the past decade, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), and is set to become Australia’s most populous city by 2031. To accommodate for this growth, the city will require an additional 1.6 million dwellings.

The current household size of 2.7 people and the growing proportion of lone person households suggest that the dwellings required could be provided through apartment development. As at June 30th 2018, the lone person household and coupled families without children make up 49% of Greater Melbourne’s population. This means that half of Greater Melbourne’s households are well suited to apartment living. The number of lone person households is projected to grow 59% by 2031, the fastest of the varying household

Infrastructure Spending Melbourne has been nominated as the world’s most liveable city seven out of the last eight years. The Victorian Government maintains that the key to upholding this status rests upon infrastructural investment as a driver. To proactively plan for future needs, while implementing innovative visions the ‘Plan Melbourne’ vison was conceived. The plan that extends its vision through to 2050, is structured to design Melbourne’s housing, commercial and industrial development for future levels of need.

The construction will result in the employment of 3,500 people. Construction will began in 2018 and is forecast to be completed by 2020. On completion the project will service an extra 35,000 commuters during peak hour.
