The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) and City of Melbourne’s (CoM) vision for Moonee Ponds Creek is for it to become “a thriving corridor that supports the liveability and resilience of the city”. To achieve this aim, CoM sought community feedback on the draft Moonee Ponds Creek Strategic Opportunities Plan, which highlights strategic opportunities and management issues along the creek. The creek is envisaged as an exemplar corridor for water management, public space and community activity, active transport, biodiversity, heritage and culture.
Nature Strip Guidelines (Stages I & II) ~ City of Port Phillip
The City of Port Phillip, Melbourne, Victoria, engaged the public from December 2021 to February 2022 to gather information about opinions on the Draft Nature Strip Guidelines - a plan that outlines the ways in which nature strips may be planted and used in the area. Information from the public engagement was intended to inform the guidelines for providing clear direction on how the community can garden on nature strips within the municipality, while ensuring nature strips remain safe and functional and that street trees are protected.
