Major Residential Redevelopment Sites in Melbourne with Timing Classifications, 2017

The Urban Development Program monitors major residential redevelopment projects across metropolitan Melbourne, comprising ten or more dwellings. Data is collected from commercial sources and aerial imagery, verified with local councils, and includes projects from completed to potential 6-10 year timelines. The dataset is published by the Department of Transport and Planning under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing spatial distribution of major residential developments across metropolitan Melbourne
• Assessing the planning pipeline by comparing projects with permits to those in earlier stages
• Monitoring urban growth and redevelopment trends using verified council and commercial data

Strengths

• Data is verified through consultations with local council representatives
• Projects are classified into specific timing categories (e.g., Completed, Under Construction, 0-2 years)
• Includes projects with ten or more dwellings, focusing on significant developments

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
