CENTRAL SUBREGION Plan Melbourne establishes five new subregions to achieve a better balance between jobs and population growth across the city, and provide a regional basis for collaboration between all levels of government. In each subregion, state and local governments will collectively plan for jobs, housing and investment. By 2050, each subregion will have an economy shaped by over one million people providing critical mass for stronger economic performance, a greater range of jobs and investment opportunities. The Strategy’s subregions have been created to: • capture natural economic flows and flows of people around the city • reflect approximate communities of interest • be of a roughly similar population size as the city grows toward 7.7 million people. The Metropolitan Planning Authority will facilitate a dialogue between these subregional groups and key government departments and agencies on investment priorities to support integrated delivery of the Strategy. This will inform the annual report to government prepared by the Metropolitan Planning Authority.

– which includes the Parkville bioscience area, existing hospitals, the University of Melbourne, RMIT University and various research institutions. The cluster has strengths in education, research, health, professional and technical industries, and significant parkland. It has about 32,700 jobs.
Subregion: Central Local government area: Maribyrnong Census employment count: 7,200 Top three industries • Education and training • Health care and social assistance • Public administration and safety Dwellings*: 5,000 Number of visits**: 24,273 Key features: Footscray Market, Victoria University, Footscray Park, Maribyrnong City Council offices. Transport: Train, tram and bus
These regions are similar to the current Regional Management Forum regions but differ in some respects to suit the particular needs of planning and infrastructure delivery.
WHAT TO DO NEXT The Metropolitan Planning Authority will: • prepare terms of reference for the subregional groupings following targeted consultation with local governments and work with subregional groups • encourage them to work together to develop shared priorities that include the key challenges and opportunities in each subregion. Based on a growing mix of capital city functions (including government, business, tourism, social, cultural and recreational institutions and assets) the central city ‘core’ now extends well beyond the Hoddle Grid into St Kilda Road, Southbank and Docklands. Our aim is to plan for growth and change in Melbourne’s Central Subregion to consolidate Melbourne’s position as a highly competitive global city and to maintain the high standards of liveability, distinctiveness and character that make Melbourne special.
