Councils in collaboration
Each newsletter, the NCA will focus on an example of how Councils collaborate with each other and with external stakeholders to benefit the community.
A partnership for Cloverton
​
Hume City Council, Mitchell Shire Council and City of Whittlesea have committed to a Regional Partnership that underpins how they will work together to ensure the success of the Cloverton Metropolitan Activity Centre.
​
Launched in March 2015, Cloverton is Victoria’s largest master-planned community. The precinct will be the primary employment and service centre for the growing suburbs of Mickleham, Kalkallo, Donnybrook, Beveridge and Wallan – estimated at 380,000 residents and 50,000 jobs when it is complete.
​
This is a key piece of infrastructure for Melbourne’s north. To ensure that its opportunities for success are maximised, the three Councils have signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding that outlines how
they will work together on the project.
At their first meeting in October, they formally endorsed the high-level vision and principles that underpin their approach to planning for the Cloverton MAC.
​
By working collaboratively from the start, Councils are hoping to avoid transport and infrastructure issues faced by major developments in the past.
​
The Councils will seek coordination and assistance from the Victorian Government in planning and
delivery of Cloverton.
