MTC Consultation Summary

We thank you for your involvement and interest in the development of the MTC Revitalisation Plan.

In 2020 Melton City Council received $200,000 in funding from the Victorian State Government (via the Suburban Revitalisation Program) to the prepare a revitalisation plan for the Melton Town Centre (MTC).

The MTC has been in decline over recent years and has been impacted significantly by other centres, a lack of public transport, changing consumer behaviour and challenging economic conditions.

The MTC needs positive interventions to attract more visitors, revive its economy and make it a safe place for everyone to enjoy. With a proud history and an eye to the future, we want to breathe new life into the town centre.

The MTC Revitalisation Plan is based on the following 10 key moves or principles that will drive revitalisation over the long term. A number of strategies and actions will support their implementation.
