Vicmap Planning helps you to visualise and analyse your business information with Victoria’s planning scheme map information. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning provides: planning scheme zones and overlays Melbourne’s urban growth boundary Vicmap Planning customers include town planners, water businesses and authorities, utilities and government. Each planning scheme contains: Zones: indicating the type of land uses that may be appropriate in that zone, such as residential, industrial or rural Overlay controls: reflecting specific characteristics of land in an area, for example significant vegetation or heritage values. Vicmap Planning represents the land use zone and overlay controls for all Victorian planning schemes. Planning schemes are based on the 79 local government areas and also cover three other areas in Victoria: French Island, Alpine Resorts and Port of Melbourne Planning Schemes.

Each 'Precinct Structure Plan' describes the planned land uses for new development in specific parts of Melbourne’s Growth Areas. The official Future Urban Structure (FUS) plan (also now known as a ‘Place Based Plan’) for any individual area is contained in the approved PSP documents incorporated into the relevant municipal planning schemes for that area. Copies are available as *pdf downloads on the VPA website or from the relevant municipality. The Victorian Planning Authority’s (VPA’s) FUS LandUse data has been generated by amalgamating individual PSP data. Various PSPs have been generated over many years and by different organisations and processes. This FUS data is therefore a simplified combination of data that originally comprised different formats and structures.

This dataset comprises information about a selection of historical plans of Melbourne and suburbs. Includes muncipality and suburb name, main street names as well as links to corresponding digital images.

This is a set of 24 maps of buildings around Melbourne's CBD, produced by Mahlstedt and Gee in 1888. They were published under the title "Standard plans of the city of Melbourne". They were digitised by the City of Melbourne and geo-referenced. The same maps are avaiilable through the State Library of Victoria: http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/126848 To help you choose between the two sources, here are some of the differences: - the SLV digitisations are higher quality, with fewer artefacts such as other maps bleeding through - the SLV has a web viewer, enabling you to quickly view each map online - the CoM versions are geo-referenced JPEG2000 files, meaning you can overlay them on a map - the CoM files are available for bulk download There is no copyright on these map images.
