Media Release: Local Shopping Precincts Could Disappear Without Urgent State Government Support

Mainstreet Australia’s 2022 report, Our Gathering Places Under Threat, warned that Victorian main streets face an uncertain future despite increased remote work and community engagement. With vacancy rates climbing to 20% in some areas post-COVID-19, this plan outlined urgent actions needed from the Victorian Government to protect these vital community hubs. Discover how the proposed partnership between government and main street businesses aimed to reverse declining trends, support local economies, and realise the vision of thriving 20-minute neighbourhoods where essential services remain accessible.

Special Rate Programs Information Victoria 2022-23

Victorian councils use Special Rate and Charge Schemes under the Local Government Act 1989 to fund specific infrastructure projects (roads, drainage, footpaths) or services (marketing, economic development) that provide a “special benefit” to selected properties beyond what the general public receives. These schemes are funded by the benefiting property owners through their rates notice and require consultation before implementation. They enable councils to deliver targeted projects efficiently, addressing gaps in standard service provision. This document outlines Special Rate or Charge Schemes operating across Victorian councils in June 2023, compiled by Mainstreet Australia with data provided by each council.
