Victoria’s new rules speed home building by limiting neighbour objections and cutting approval times, aiming for 800,000 homes by 2035.
Victoria has passed major planning reforms to speed up home construction by eliminating most neighbours’ rights to object to standalone homes, duplexes, and low-rise developments, with approval timelines of 10, 30, and 60 days for different project types.
Only directly affected residents can challenge larger apartment projects, and the changes aim to help meet a target of 800,000 new homes over the next decade amid projected population growth.
The reforms, part of a national effort to build one million homes by 2029, have drawn praise from industry groups for reducing red tape but criticism from opposition leaders and community advocates over reduced transparency and public input.
