Major Residential Redevelopment Sites in Melbourne, 2018

Metropolitan Melbourne's major residential redevelopment projects are monitored by the Urban Development Program. The dataset includes projects with ten or more dwellings, classified by development stage from 'Completed' to 'Possible'. It was published by the Department of Transport and Planning and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Forecasting housing supply based on project stage classifications like 'Firm' or 'Under Construction'.
• Analyzing spatial distribution of redevelopment for land-use planning based on identified project sites.
• Monitoring the development pipeline by tracking projects from 'Possible' to 'Completed' status over time.

Strengths

• Data is verified through consultations with local council representatives.
• Projects are classified into five specific timing categories (e.g., 'Completed', 'Under Construction').
• Includes projects with an existing permit, in planning, under construction, or identified as potential long-term sites.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description notes that project timings are indicative and can vary from on-the-ground activity.
