Principal Public Transport Network
The Principal Public Transport Network (PPTN) reflects the routes where high-quality public transport services are or will be provided. It supports integrated transport and land use planning by encouraging more diverse and dense development near high-quality public transport to help support public transport usage.
A key component of Plan Melbourne(opens in a new window), the PPTN is a statutory land use planning tool that supports integrated land use and transport planning by providing certainty to planners and the community about locations that are or will be, served by high-quality public transport.
The PPTN, which is reflected in planning schemes(opens in a new window) across Victoria, is designed to support integrated transport and land use planning by encouraging more diverse and dense development near high-quality public transport to help support public transport usage.

The PPTN is an incorporated document under clause 81.01 of the Victoria Planning Provisions(opens in a new window).
It must be taken into account by responsible authorities in decision-making.
Incorporated documents can only be amended by the Minister through a planning scheme amendment process.
Updates to the PPTN will be made as part of ongoing planning for integrating land use and transport planning.
