Physical description

Melbourne’s North – the new knowledge economy is a study commissioned by NORTH Link and the Northern Metropolitan Melbourne Area Consultative Sub-Committee with seed funding from the Victorian Government
Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development and matching funding from industry, education and
local government in Melbourne’s North. It was prepared by National Institute of Economic and Industry Research.
The report provides a detailed analysis of the Melbourne’s North regional economy and builds on the previous report,
Growing Melbourne’s North – developing an integrated economy. It concludes that the region can achieve significant
economic and social benefits if stakeholders share resources and cooperate across local government boundaries to form a discrete economic zone. The report includes recommendations and benchmarks that will support growth and quality employment outcomes for the region into the future as it undergoes the transition into a knowledge economy.
