Consultation on the Western Plains South Green Wedge Management Plan

Council has prepared the draft Western Plains South Green Wedge Management Plan and we are seeking your feedback.

The plan is a draft document that identifies a vision, objectives and actions for the sustainable use and development for the Western Plains South Green Wedge located within the City of Melton. The Western Plains South is characterised by wide open volcanic plains and scattered rare native grassland flora and fauna. The plan identifies the issues and opportunities in the area, provides guidance for land use planning and land management and highlights opportunities for future projects.

Council is required by the State government to prepare a Green Wedge Management Plan for its green wedges. This plan will have no influence over changes to the Urban Growth Boundary (rezoning rural land to urban land), the Western Grasslands Reserve or the Outer Metropolitan Ring Road.

The draft plan follows on from previous work - a Background Report in 2018 and consultation with stakeholders in 2019. The background report was prepared in conjunction with Wyndham City Council for the entirety of the Western Plains South Green Wedge Area, however the draft plan refers to the green wedge area within the City of Melton only and does not include the Western Plains South area that extends across the City of Wyndham.
