Living Locally: Beveridge North West

This report focuses on the Beveridge North West Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) area. The report explores a range of issues associated with the implementation of the principles underpinning the delivery of the Plan Melbourne policies for ‘20-minute neighbourhoods’ and more general strategies for localisation (or living locally) in this area, and in ‘greenfield’ development areas more generally. The report assesses access, land use, walkability and consequent outcomes for liveability at the site and in a broader metropolitan context. This report relates to the second part of a project that was undertaken in two parts: 1. The production of a review of empirical literature on urban development, localisation and liveability with an Australian, and particularly Melbourne focus2. The creation and testing of elements for development as a basis for analysis of the Plan Melbourne 20-minute neighbourhood concept in greenfields development locations, and to consider elements for consideration in planning for them to meet the objectives of the 20-miunute neighbourhood as included in Plan Melbourne
