À propos de ce contenu audio

In this special edition of Melbourne for Sale, we bring you a live recording from Fair Growth Thornbury’s event, Past Lessons, Future Choices, held at Thornbury Picture House.

The evening brought together MPs, election candidates, community, councillors, media, and leading voices in planning and urban design for a serious, election-year conversation about Victoria’s housing future.

The panel features:

  • Dr Katherine Sundermann, Senior Lecturer in Urban Planning and Design, Monash University

  • Mike Scott, Planner and Urban Designer, Charter 29

  • Rebecca Finn, Director and Co-founder, UrbanFold; Joint President, Urban Design Forum Australia

The discussion covers the realities of housing supply, the limits of a purely “supply-led” approach to affordability, the role of social and affordable housing, and the importance of infrastructure, planning quality, and community input in shaping Melbourne’s growth.

A consistent theme emerges: Melbourne needs more housing — but it needs to be done properly, with better planning, better policy, and a clearer focus on long-term outcomes.
