The Minister for Environment and Climate Change has requested the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council (VEAC) to carry out an investigation of Crown land and public authority land in 29 municipalities* in metropolitan Melbourne.
The purposes of the investigation are to:
(a) systematically identify and assess the uses, resources, condition, values and management of Crown land, and public authority land in metropolitan Melbourne;
(b) assess values of Crown land, and public authority land for areas not committed to a specific use, and report on appropriate future uses relevant to Melbourne's liveability and natural values; and
(c) report on the contribution of Crown land, and public authority land to Melbourne's liveability and opportunities for enhancement of this contribution.
The council will prepare a discussion paper for public comment in 2010 and a final report by May 2011.
The full terms of reference and the map of the investigation area are available from this site or by phoning VEAC on 1800 134 803 (toll free). Working maps showing the Crown land in each municipality within the investigation area are also available.
In June 2009, the Minister extended the completion date for the investigation to May 2011.
SUBMISSIONS
In December 2008 written submissions were invited from interested groups and individuals for consideration in the development of the discussion paper. This first submission period has now closed and submissions can be viewed on this website. There will be a further submission period following the release of the discussion paper.
