Urban Development Program - Industrial Land 2019

The 2019 dataset from the Urban Development Program identifies all industrial land parcels across metropolitan Melbourne. It includes the development status and size in hectares for each parcel, classifying land as either 'Unavailable' or 'Supply'. The dataset is provided by the Department of Transport and Planning and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess industrial land supply and vacancy rates based on parcel status classifications.
• Model urban growth and industrial zoning patterns based on land parcel locations and types.
• Plan infrastructure development based on the spatial distribution and size of industrial land.
• Analyze land use policy effectiveness by comparing zoned industrial areas with actual development status.

Strengths
