VICTORIAN Planning Minister Richard Wynne has tasked the Metropolitan Planning Authority to plan for a major commercial hub in the Monash area.
The new plans will encourage more cafes, hotels, services and entertainment to be built in the east, as well as improved parks, cycle ways and pedestrian links.
Wynne said consultation is underway ahead of changes to planning rules across commercial and industrial land, encouraging development to increase jobs and services.
The MPA is working on plans with the cities of Monash, Kingston and Greater Dandenong, to drive growth around Monash University and the business and industrial areas of Huntingdale, Clayton, Mulgrave, Notting Hill and Springvale.
“We are changing the planning rules for the broader Monash area with input from the community so there is a long-term plan for jobs growth in place.
“Well-planned employment clusters give people living in the middle and outer suburbs good access to jobs close to where they live and also increases local services.” Wynne said.
