Statement

Give local governments a say in deciding where density goes. Hold municipal governments to locally developed Official Community Plans that carry appropriate density targets. Where the density goes and what it looks like needs to be a decision of local government and local residents, not bureaucrats in Victoria.

Overview

Reverse top-down provincial zoning mandates in favor of municipal OCP-driven density targets determined by local councils.
