The Housing and Neighbourhood
Character Strategies draft background report contains the research and analysis, and results from the preliminary consultation undertaken to establish the priority themes and project aims for the strategies.
Our City is growing and changing. To manage this, we are preparing 3 new strategies to guide how Brimbank’s residential areas should develop in the future.
Together the new Housing Strategy, Neighbourhood Character Strategy and Residential Development Framework (the Project) will provide direction on where and how new residential development should occur across Brimbank, over the next 20 years.
Our aim is to ensure that Brimbank’s diverse neighbourhoods and housing supply will offer something for everyone.

How gardens, grasses, trees, plants and shrubs look including:

Pattern of streets and how blocks are arranged:
We are gathering information about all Brimbank’s residential areas to identify their existing neighbourhood character.
A draft neighbourhood character strategy will explain how we propose to either respect the existing character or encourage a change in character, depending on what the aspirations for housing growth are.
The Housing Strategy will set the housing growth aspirations, and the preferred locations for growth.
The State Government has directed all residential zones support and allow increased housing. This means Council is unable to restrict dwelling densities in residential areas, except in exceptional circumstances. So, this project will not limit housing growth or density. Rather, it will investigate and recommend ways to manage housing growth in a way that meets the needs of the existing and future community.
No changes are proposed to existing:
This project will not assess the heritage significance of heritage places in Brimbank. They are identified and protected through Heritage Overlays. This is distinct from neighbourhood character.
