Top 5

<html><body>
<p>Following on from Urban.com.au's Top 5 Most Viewed <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/urbans-top-5-for-october-most-viewed-architects">Architects</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/urbans-top-5-for-october-most-viewed-suburbs">Suburbs</a> over the last two days, today we take a look at the Top 5 Most Viewed Local Government Area's (LGA).</p>

<p>Not surprisingly, looking at it in a Victorian context, the City of Melbourne takes out top spot, reflecting its status as one of the most desirable municipalities to reside within. </p>

<p>The inner-city LGA's are proving the most popular with their access to employment, education, retail and dining, and well served by public transport.</p>

<p>Topping the list with 22 projects to its name, Steller's pipeline of projects extends across Melbourne's south-east. Its largest project to date will be on <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/200-204-wells-street-south-melbourne">Wells Street</a>, South Melbourne.
