Inner South-east Metro Partnership InstaWorkshop

The Victorian Government wants to better understand and respond to the needs of Melbourne’s communities. Over the next thirty-five years, Melbourne is projected to become Australia’s largest city, with its population expected to almost double. A key challenge will be ensuring our suburbs are equipped for the future. The Metropolitan Partnerships have been established as a way for local communities to engage directly with state and local governments, and advise the Victorian Government of the top priorities for jobs, services and infrastructure across the region. The Inner South-east #metropartnership teamed up with Swinburne Uni for an #instaworkshop event in early May. Students were asked to talk about their experience and thoughts on liveability in Melbourne, and how this might be impacted by population growth. Mental health, inclusion, environment, cost of living and transport connectivity were among some of the matters raised. These insights are being directly heard by the Partnership, and will inform and shape their future advice to government on the priorities for the Inner South-east
