Welcome to City of Melbourne's 3D Development Activity Model (3D DAM). This provides a representation of major development activity in the Melbourne Local Government Area. The visualisation is underpinned by information from the City of Melbourne Planning systems.
All 3D Models are simplified interpretations of complex built forms and should not be used for planning purposes.
Data for the 3D Development Activity Model can be found on the City of Melbourne open data platform:

The site content includes information about development activity located within the City of Melbourne municipal area. Developments may have one of three statuses with a different colour for each status. Applied (blue), Approved (green) and Under Construction (yellow).
Site content is derived from a range of sources at various times and as such the content may not be free from errors, omissions or defects. Inconsistencies may occur in some data sets. The City of Melbourne uses its best endeavours to ensure that the information is reliable.
The building models are representational only and are not intended for analytical or comparative purposes. The site content does not contain natural features such as the terrain. The building models are simplified extrusions of the indicative floor plate for the podium (if relevant) and tower. The extrusion is an approximation of the height of the building and does not show the architectural features of the buildings.
The information in the table below is provided to help users understand the currency and reliability of the site content which often involves complex processes to derive the information. The aim is to provide users with some facts about the source of the content and when it was collected. Users can then make an informed decision as to whether the site content is appropriate for their particular purpose and information needs.
