Following the completion of the ten pilot centres, including Preston, the Victorian Government announced in April 2025 plans to expand its Activity Centre Program.
The expanded Activity Centre Program involves planning for more homes in 50 additional centres close to train and tram zones across Melbourne. Within Darebin two new centres are being planned in Thornbury: High Street (Thornbury) on the Mernda line and St Georges Road (Thornbury) on the Route 11 tram line.
What’s next:
State-led consultation: The State Government will conduct two phases of consultation, starting in early May. This will include drop-in or online Q&A sessions, online surveys for submissions, and a community reference group process.
