One Melbourne or Two? Implications of Population Growth for Infrastructure and Services in Interface Areas

Creating Liveable Communities in the Interface document
The Interface Councils of Melbourne form an arc around metropolitan Melbourne and incorporate both the green wedge and the urban growth boundary. The ten Interface Councils include: Cardinia, Casey, Hume, Melton, Mitchell, Mornington Peninsula, Nillumbik, Whittlesea, Wyndham and Yarra Ranges. These municipalities represent only 10 of metropolitan Melbourne’s 31 municipalities and yet are expected to accommodate over 60% of Melbourne’s population growth to 2026.
