This report contains the full text of the Land Conservation Council's final recommendations for the Melbourne Area, District 1 Review. These provide an ongoing framework for public use of land in the Melbourne area. The recommendations in the text incorporate those for the west part of the LCC's original Melbourne Study area investigation, and have been edited to reflect government variations and amendments at the time of approval, and subsequent changes.

The recommendations are grouped under major headings, such as Parks and Marine Reserves, Reference Areas, Wildlife, Water Production, State Forest and Timber Production and so on. Key recommendations are for the Organ Pipes National Park, Werribee Gorge State Park, Harold Holt Marine Complex, and additions to the Brisbane Ranges National Park and Lerderderg State Park.

The .pdf maps of the recommendations are scanned versions of the maps as originally published. They have not been edited to reflect any government variations and amendments, and subsequent changes.
