UDIA Victoria

The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) was established in 1975 and is the peak membership body for the urban development sector.

The Victorian division of the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA Victoria) is a non-profit, peak industry body. We are supported by a membership of land use and residential property development organisations, across the private sector and Victoria’s public service.

Since 1975, UDIA Victoria has given industry a voice in the policy-making process. We tackle the issues having the biggest impact on Victoria’s liveability – spanning topics such as the planning system, housing affordability, infrastructure, sustainability, employment and the economy.

Our suite of research and education initiatives ensures the urban development industry is best-placed to meet Victoria’s housing, employment, and social needs.

Our events and annual awards program connect and celebrate the people who breathe life into Victoria’s urban heartbeat.

Since 1975, UDIA Victoria has given industry a voice in the policy-making process.
