Have your say

A Major Development Plan outlines a significant development proposed at Melbourne Airport, including what is planned and the potential impacts of the project. Major Development Plans are required for certain developments under the Airports Act 1996 before they can proceed.

Public consultation gives the community, organisations and other stakeholders an opportunity to understand the proposal and provide feedback before the Major Development Plan is finalised. Making a submission is the formal way to share your views on the proposal.

Yes. Submissions received during public consultation are reviewed and considered before the Major Development Plan is finalised. Feedback can help identify issues or opportunities and may lead to changes to the plan where appropriate.

We consider feedback received during public consultation when finalising the Major Development Plan. The final plan is then submitted to the Australian Government for review and a decision on approval.

No. Australian Government approval of a Major Development Plan allows the project to proceed, but it doesn't necessarily mean a project will be built. Other decisions and project considerations may still need to occur before construction begins.

Choose a project that is currently open for consultation to learn more about what’s proposed. You can then make a submission during the public exhibition period to have your feedback formally considered.
