Major Residential Redevelopment Sites in Melbourne, 2019 Status

The Urban Development Program (UDP) dataset from the Department of Transport and Planning monitors major residential redevelopment projects across metropolitan Melbourne. It includes projects with ten or more dwellings, classified by their stage from 'Completed' to 'Possible' as of January 2019. The data was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Forecasting residential housing supply based on project timing classifications.
• Analyzing spatial distribution of planned and under-construction developments across metropolitan Melbourne.
• Assessing planning permit status and project viability for investment or policy review.
• Monitoring urban growth and redevelopment trends using verified council and commercial data sources.

Strengths

• Data is verified through consultations with local council representatives.
• Projects are classified into five specific timing categories (e.g., Completed, Under Construction).
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (DWG, SHP, GDB, etc.) for GIS analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Timings are described as indicative and can vary from on-the-ground activity.
