flag Victoria’s Liberal Party proposes high-rise development and faster approvals to ease Melbourne’s housing crisis, but experts doubt its impact on affordability.

flag Victoria’s opposition Liberal Party, led by Jess Wilson, has unveiled a housing plan to tackle the state’s crisis by expanding Melbourne’s CBD with high-rise apartments and speeding up development in outer suburbs. flag The proposal allows taller buildings in inner-city areas, potentially affecting heritage-listed homes, and streamlines approvals for projects on the urban fringe. flag It marks a shift from the current Labor government’s approach, though experts like RMIT’s Trivess Moore caution that neither party’s strategy is expected to significantly improve affordability. flag The initiative reflects growing political focus on increasing supply through zoning changes and faster approvals, but its real-world impact remains uncertain.
