Living locally is more important than ever. Learn about challenges and opportunities to implementing 20-minute neighbourhoods in Melbourne’s greenfield growth areas.

In partnership with the ABC, we are excited about this opportunity for young people across metropolitan Melbourne.

A resilient Melbourne will draw on the strengths of our diverse communities and geographies, to pursue our shared interests, embrace our differences and be stronger together. We will help communities prepare for change and whatever the future may hold. We will work today, tomorrow and together, towards a viable, sustainable, liveable and prosperous Melbourne

We're implementing strategy actions with partners across the community, academic and business sectors, as well as local and state government agencies.

By working together on these actions, partners will improve Melbourne’s collective resilience and will learn by doing. 

With cities across Australia experiencing rapid urban growth, meaningful collaboration between developers and residents is critical to building resilient neighbourhoods that truly meet residents’ needs.

Resilient Melbourne is part of the global challenge 100 Resilient Cities.
100 Resilient Cities – Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation – helps cities around the world build resilience to the economic, social and physical challenges of the 21st century.
