YIMBY Melbourne's new Missing Middle Housing Targets report shows where Victoria should build 50% of its total 80,000 homes-per-year target.

Using demand-based modelling, YIMBY Melbourne has identified the LGAs where dense housing is most in-demand and therefore most viable to be built.

But this will only become possible if dense housing is broadly unbanned, and six-storey missing middle housing is allowed to be built around all of Melbourne's 1,992 train and tram stops.

Melbourne’s planning system is broken. We need evidence-driven and well-enforced housing targets in order to fix this ongoing crisis.

After the ABC reported yesterday on the spurious heritage listing of three homes, they were removed by Maroondah Council at the 11th hour.

However, the final Overlay passed by Council eight properties whose owners objected remain listed in the final overlay passed.

Whilst this is a victory for some, it's a defeat for others.

Victoria's heritage system needs reform.
