MID City North Planning Reset

The Melbourne Innovation District (MID) Opportunities Plan (Plan) outlines guiding principles and opportunities for connecting, enhancing and activating priority streets and spaces. The Plan encourages the use of City North as a precinct for trialling interventions and activations that contribute to strategic long-term aims and guides urban design and public realm improvements within the precinct.

Since Council’s adoption of the Plan in 2020, Council and partners have made substantial investment in public realm upgrades within the precinct including streets, spaces, public art, test beds for data collection, events and programs.

The City of Melbourne’s Future Melbourne Committee resolved in December 2024:

  • That MID has delivered over 40 projects that align with the ‘Urban Realm Objectives’ and ‘Next Steps’ of the Melbourne Innovation District (MID) City North Opportunities Plan 2020.
  • To renew the MID City North Opportunities Plan 2020 as a guide to inform future urban design and public realm improvements within the MID City North precinct.
  • That management will deliver concurrent short-term strategic planning projects as part of Council’s work program for 2024/25 under Major Initiative 17 and 20 of the Council Plan 2021-25.
