9:30 am - 10:00 am Melbourne Innovation Districts Plan: Connecting Spaces to Drive the Knowledge Economy
The Melbourne Innovation district (MID) is a partnership between the City of Melbourne, the University of Melbourne and RMIT University. The area is home to 21% of all knowledge sector jobs in Melbourne and aims to support and develop next- generation Melbourne. This initiative is set up to drive investment in the knowledge economy and help shape the cities future. The opportunities created for Melbourne’s knowledge workers, researchers, students, business and community organisations will be vital for the city to thrive and prosper. This session will explore:
- Understanding how this partnership was created and how it was developed
- Exploring how this partnership has benefitted the knowledge sector through sharing investment and innovation
- Exploring the 5 work streams that the MID is focusing on and the draft urban realm action plan they have created

10:30 am - 11:00 am MORNING TEA AND NETWORKING BREAK
11:00 am - 11:30 am Integration of Autonomous Vehicle Technology at Tonsley Innovation Park
In 2018 a $4 million driverless shuttle trail was completed, resulting in autonomous buses operating on public roads in South Australia. The trail had the intention of exposing the community to the capabilities and benefits of autonomous vehicle technology. Tonsley Innovation District has quickly become a hub for advanced manufacturing and other future facing industries. This session will explore:
- The future of mobility within smart precincts
- Introduction of autonomous vehicle technology into smart precincts
- Building an acceptance of autonomous vehicle technology
11:30 am - 12:00 pm New Generation Infrastructure to Create more Sustainable Precincts
Open cities is a peak association representing infrastructure and urban design advocates working together to create a more sustainable, resilient and affordable energy, water and digital mobility future. This association are advocates of next generation infrastructure such as recycled water and waste, smart poles, solar batteries, connected microgrids, mobility as a service – including shared microgrids, mobility as a service, shared data networks including IoT and open telco networks. This session will explore:
- Strategies to meet the needs of precincts through enabling 21st century infrastructure and services to be installed in open areas
- Developing a policy framework for next gen- utilities and future infrastructure
- Exploring the technology – enabled solutions to create a ‘smart’ sustainability chain
12:00 pm - 12:30 pm Creating a Precinct for Industry, Training & Research to Come Together through Effective Planning & Design
The $1.25 billion Tonsley Innovation District is a community for industry, research, training and residential to come together and interact. This session will explore:
