flag Melbourne expands housing in Maribyrnong with high- and mid-rise units amid population growth, infrastructure upgrades, and community concerns.

flag The Victorian government is expanding housing in Melbourne’s inner-west with high-rise apartments in West Footscray and Tottenham and mid-rise units in Middle Footscray, responding to a projected 57% population increase in the City of Maribyrnong by 2051. flag While some residents support the developments due to housing shortages and high costs, others express concerns over sunlight obstruction, lack of public housing, and past redevelopment failures like the Joseph Road precinct, which faced infrastructure issues and a fatal accident. flag The government emphasizes new design standards, major transport projects including the Metro and West Gate Tunnels, and investments in social housing, health, and education. flag WoMEDA, a coalition of industry and government leaders, is pushing for job growth through a new hospital, university expansion, and cultural projects like a performing arts venue near Whitten Oval.
