Half the problem is business wants to centralise itself around CBD locations, the city is where the work is there is no opportunities out regional unless you work at Maccas or make methamphetamines for bikies.
If there was government incentives for business to relocate regional, areas with good public transport access - Bendigo for example has a fast rail line and a very good service between Bendigo-Melbourne we probably wouldn't need everyone going in and out of Melbourne every day.

You can get to Seymour in around an hour via freeway as it is 100/110kph almost the entire way. It also on one of the main country train lines. It's also less than 40mins from the northern suburbs where much of Melbourne's industry is (or what's left of it). A lot of people complain about not being able to buy close to the city, and yet many of them don't actually work there. There's a great lifestyle in regional areas if you want it.
