AusDev Melbourne Desk
The AusDev Melbourne Desk files The Australian Developer's coverage of Melbourne and Victoria. Since 13 Oct 2026 it has published 74 stories, 40 of them linking a public record such as a council, court, planning or ASIC filing.
How this desk sources a story
Stories start from public records (council and state planning decisions, courts, titles and ASIC notices), data feeds, company announcements and other publications. Each story carries a label saying which, and links the primary source or the outlet that reported it. A company announcement is a lead, not proof. Stories are drafted with AI and automation, then checked against the source.
Record sources this desk cites most: publishednotices.asic.gov.au (13), premier.vic.gov.au (9), discover.data.vic.gov.au (3), data.melbourne.vic.gov.au (3), vpa.vic.gov.au (2).
Standards and corrections
We check figures against the source, write our own text and use at most one short, attributed quote. To report an error, email hello@australiandeveloper.com.au with the story's URL. Corrections are noted, with their date, on the story. Full policy: how we report.
