Future Melbourne Officially Released

The Future Melbourne plan is officially handed over to Melbourne City Council by the Reference Group.

By 2020, per capita greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 35 per cent per resident and 59 per cent per worker under a target identified in 'Future Melbourne' - the most ambitious community consultation project ever undertaken by the City of Melbourne.

Around 15,000 individuals, businesses, organisations and community groups from across Melbourne and the globe have participated in the Future Melbourne consultation program.

After over 13 months of extensive community consultation, participation and collaboration, the 'Future Melbourne' Reference Group will tonight hand over the draft plan to Council for consideration at its September meeting.

Lord Mayor John So said Future Melbourne had been the most ambitious community consultation project ever undertaken by the City of Melbourne.

"This extensive collaboration has ensured a rich and robust Future Melbourne draft plan. In accepting this plan from the community for consideration, I wish to express our gratitude to the Reference Group members and our project partners who have committed so much time and effort to this landmark project," the Lord Mayor said.
