Being a Gemini city it’s not hard to imagine why Melbourne has a reputation as a vibrant and progressive city. A city I am proud to call my home.
“The City of Melbourne has been consulting across the community for the past 11months to develop Future Melbourne, a long-term strategy for Melbourne guiding all aspects of life in the city until 2020 and beyond. Now the draft plan has been made available online as a “wiki” or collaborative website where everyone is invited to log-on, comment and contribute their ideas.
As far as we know, this is the first time a local government has used this style of consultation to develop a shared strategic vision for its municipality. This is a bold and exciting opportunity for the people of Melbourne, so please take advantage and have your say on Future Melbourne.”
- John So, Lord Mayor.

Hi Cilla and thanks for your post! I had no idea Melbourne was a Gemini city.
As far as we can tell, this is the first time in the world that a local government has used a wiki to enable anybody to directly edit the content of a city plan.
Thought I might also mention the direct address for the Future Melbourne wiki is http://www.futuremelbourne.com.au
Thanks again and look forward to your contributions. Public editing of the plan wraps up on 14 June!
Dale,
Future Melbourne Team.
