Description

In this inaugural discussion paper, former Victorian Premier, Steve Bracks, and former Victorian Deputy Premier, Pat McNamara, discuss the four policy pillars of a future population decentralisation agenda for Victoria.

The four pillars discussed are:

  • A decentralisation program must set clear targets
  • Areas across the entire state, not just the large regional centres must be included
  • Transport and land use planning must be better integrated across the state
  • The private sector must be more involved in the financing and delivery of infrastructure needed to support a structured decentralisation program
