HOME>Draft Moonee Ponds Activity Centre Structure Plan
| Council will consider the final Moonee Ponds Activity Centre (MPAC) Structure Plan in late 2009 after collecting the community’s feedback to the draft plan, during a 6 week consultation period from late July to early September.
The centre is the City of Moonee Valley’s Principal Activity Centre and is home to approximately 1,120 people and 1,000 businesses.
The draft MPAC Structure Plan has been prepared to provide long term growth and direction for the centre.

The Draft Structure Plan
| | What is the vision for Moonee Ponds?
The Structure Plan provides vision of what MPAC will look like in the future.
How this vision will be achieved?
The plan outlines a number of objectives and strategies that will assist us in achieving MPAC’s vision.
They have been grouped into the following key themes:
| |
|
All new developments in the centre must respond to the vision, objectives and strategies for MPAC.
If you live or own land in MPAC what does it mean for you?
The draft plan does not require you to change the way your land is currently used.
The draft plan provides some guidance to the preferred land uses and building heights that Council would support for your property, if you chose to redevelopment it one day in the future.
If you decided to sell your property, the plan would provide some development direction to the new landowner.
The plan provides precinct specific guidance for landowners.

| Background Information | | What is a Structure Plan?
A Structure Plan is a document that provides Council, landowners, businesses and the community with the long-term direction of how MPAC should grow and develop over the next 15-20 years.
A Structure Plan is not a development plan, but a possible vision for the future of Moonee Ponds. It proposes a number of bold and conceptual ideas.
Why has this draft MPAC Structure Plan been prepared?
Moonee Ponds is a centre that has experienced significant change since its settlement in the 1850s. This change will continue into the future as the centre grows to accommodate more people, shops, businesses and visitors.
Metropolitan Melbourne is also growing at a rapid rate and is expected to reach five million people before the year 2030. The State Government has nominated busy and growing areas across Melbourne known as ‘Principal Activity Centres’, as areas to accommodate some of this growth. MPAC has been nominated as a Principal Activity Centre and is expected to develop into a high-density, pedestrian-friendly urban area that is well connected to public transport services.
This draft MPAC Structure plan has been prepared to guide this growth.
What the plan will do?
The plan would be used in considering planning applications for new developments and for improvements to roads, footpaths, community facilities and services and open space.
It would guide the changes to land use, building types, accessibility and public spaces and ensure long term sustainability and improvement to the centre.
What are the study boundaries?
The activity centre boundary primarily contains land parcels and community facilities that offer the most potential for change over the next 20 years.
