Have your say on the future for Victoria
As part of the landmark Housing Statement, the State Government has kicked off community engagement right across the state to develop a long-term vision for Victoria for the next 30 years.
A range of opportunities for community engagements will be happening across Bass where local residents are invited to tell the government about their future vision for our state. These will be promoted across local and social media.
The Housing Statement provides the steps to build 800,000 homes in the next decade, with the development of a new plan for Victoria a key initiative to help deliver more homes near transport, jobs and essential services in vibrant, liveable, and sustainable cities, suburbs and towns.
