Residential Development Monitor

What is the Residential Development Monitor?

To better understand housing construction in Merri-bek, we developed a dashboard to track significant residential development from:

  1. Approval; to
  2. begin construction; and
  3. completion.

What kind of residential developments does the RDM track?

  • Developments of five or more dwellings.
  • Projects that have been approved (issued a planning permit).

Which device (phone, tablet laptop etc) is best for viewing the data?

  • Because it has a lot of detail, the best way to experience the dashboard is from a laptop or computer.
  • No device? Visit any Merri-bek library, there is free computer access for library members.
