Victorian Government announces Phase 2 Engagement on the Draft Activity Centre Plan for Hampton East / Moorabbin
The Victorian Government's Housing Statement: The decade ahead 2024-2034 sets a target to build 800,000 homes in Victoria over the next decade.
The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) is working in collaboration with the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) to deliver the Activity Centre Program, as part of the new Housing Statement.
The program seeks to review existing planning policy, initially, for 10 activity centres in Melbourne to encourage the development of 60,000 new homes. Moorabbin (Hampton East) Activity Centre is one of these activity centres.
The program is reviewing the planning controls currently in place within the Hampton East / Moorabbin Activity Centre.
On 22 August 2024, the State Government announced its commencement of public engagement on the Draft Activity Centre Plan.
Bayside City Council already has the Hampton East (Moorabbin) Activity Centre Structure Plan in place, which has been implemented in the Bayside Planning Scheme. The State Government’s Draft Plan is proposing changes to the area, including new and increased building height controls for the activity centre and surrounding catchment.
Moorabbin (Hampton East) Activity Centre, Broadmeadows, Camberwell Junction, Chadstone, Epping, Frankston, Niddrie (Keilor Road), North Essendon, Preston (High Street) and Ringwood.

Background
In April 2024, we asked our community what they thought about the Victorian Government’s plan to review the Moorabbin (Hampton East) Activity Centre. This feedback (link) was provided back to the State Government with the purpose that it inform their Draft Activity Centre Plan for Moorabbin. In June 2024, Council endorsed a submission to the Victorian Government's Activity Centre Program.
Council officers are preparing a further submission in response to the Draft Activity Centre Plan for Moorabbin which will continue to utilise the feedback which was received previously by the community in April 2024.
