Metropolitan citizen jury report

Abstract

Two citizen juries - one metropolitan and one regional - of approximately 43 people each brought together a representative, random sample of Victorians to consider the question: What should we do to meet Victoria’s infrastructure needs? The two citizen juries were drawn from across the greater Melbourne area and the area surrounding Shepparton. This helped ensure both metropolitan and regional perspectives were considered. Jury members also spent many hours reading public submissions and information materials between sessions. Jury members were able to request additional information and presentations from subject matter experts to help their deliberations. The reports of both juries will be considered by Infrastructure Victoria as a key input into the strategy. The unedited recommendations of both juries have been published on the Infrastructure Victoria website and a response to the recommendations will be given in person by Infrastructure Victoria’s Chair
