The Allan Labor government has announced 25 “Train and Tram Zone” activity centres to promote higher-density housing near key transport corridors. It aims to deliver over 300,000 new homes in Victoria by 2051.

The plan includes rezoning affluent suburbs like Prahran, South Yarra, and Windsor, where the state will assume planning control to boost housing supply.
