The City of Melbourne (CoM) undertook a public engagement to better understand what matters to Melburnians when it comes to ageing. This research was created to inform the development of CoM’s, Melbourne: A Great Place to Age strategic plan, which aims to create “a more connected community that brings people together in their local neighbourhoods, and ensures older people are supported to fully participate and feel valued and respected for their unique life experience.”
The City of Melbourne (CoM) launched a community consultation process around the redevelopment of the Queen Victoria Market Precinct, engaging Global Research to provide a report with the findings of this consultation.

The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) and City of Melbourne’s (CoM) vision for Moonee Ponds Creek is for it to become “a thriving corridor that supports the liveability and resilience of the city”. To achieve this aim, CoM sought community feedback on the draft Moonee Ponds Creek Strategic Opportunities Plan, which highlights strategic opportunities and management issues along the creek. The creek is envisaged as an exemplar corridor for water management, public space and community activity, active transport, biodiversity, heritage and culture.
Planning for Growth builds on the goals from Our City Tomorrow — Wellington’s Ten Year Plan — and includes a review of the Wellington Urban Growth Plan, as well as the District Plan — both of which impact and shape Wellington's urban environment.
In the next 30 years, Wellington is projected to become home to 50,000 to 80,000 more people. That will have a big impact on the city — not just on where people live, but how they live. Wellingtonians had their say via an online survey on the pros and cons of four growth scenarios proposed to accommodate anticipated population growth.
Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) is a partnership between Wellington City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council, and the NZ Transport Agency.

The City of Sydney, as it grows, aims to support an active and diverse evening culture and economy. To support this aspiration, The City of Sydney produced a discussion paper outlining plans for the future of Sydney’s nighttime economy. They proposed three actions: to allow businesses to trade later without obtaining an approval, to simplify the process for artists to open creative spaces, and to balance the impacts of live music and performance venues.
