How do you think Victoria will look in 2056? Government forecasts tell us that by 2056 Victoria will be home to more than 11 million people, about 4.5 million more than in 2022. As our population grows, our cities will grow and change too. The choices governments, businesses and individuals make now will shape our cities of the future. We need to be intentional in how we grow our cities and what infrastructure we provide. Our research finds that more compact cities are better overall for Victorians and our economy. By living closer together, people can have better a quality of life, higher incomes and a more sustainable environment. Cities is just one of 10 key topics on our website.

Our recent poll showed that many people do use, or would like to use, their local school grounds for play and exercise. This is also what we heard from Victorians in our research report, 'Getting more from school grounds: sharing places for play and exercise'. You can also watch our webinar recording, 'Sharing is caring: how sharing more school grounds can unlock benefits for the community' where we discuss how sharing school grounds can make better use of existing government land and benefit more Victorians. We talk through our recommendations to the Victorian Government to help more schools share outdoor areas with their local community.

School's out! Are you in? As we hit mid-January and the tail end of school holidays, shared school grounds can be a great way to get kids outside and playing with friends. Tell us, is your local school ground shared with the community outside of school hours? Have you been using your local school ground to get out and play or exercise? In our recent research report, 'Getting more from school grounds: sharing places for play and exercise' we found that outdoor space on state government school land presents a huge opportunity to give more families access to open space to gather and socialise.

With high temperatures forecast for the rest of this week and record drowning deaths Australia-wide this summer, more experts are calling for better access to public pools. Publicly accessible aquatic centres and pools provide a safe place for people to cool down and meet up with friends. They are the places where most of us learn to swim, and offer Victorians lifesaving swimming and water safety education. But as important as public pools are, not every Victorian has equal access. The outer Melbourne suburb of Melton only has one publicly accessible aquatic centre for every 178,960 people, compared to inner-city areas like Merri-bek and Yarra, with just over 30,000 residents per public pool facility. Our 2021 research report 'Social infrastructure in Melbourne's growth areas' found that while aquatic centre can be some of the most expensive social infrastructure to build, the benefits to communities far outweighs the cost.
