Yarra Ranges Localised Planning Statement (LPS)

The Minister for Planning has approved the Yarra Ranges’ Localised Planning Statement (LPS) which was adopted by Council on 27 June 2017.

“The Victorian Government is committed to protecting the unique valued features and attributes of Melbourne’s green wedges. As outlined in government’s metropolitan strategy, Plan Melbourne 2017-2050, Melbourne’s green wedges support a wide range of non-urban land uses and activities including biodiversity assets, such as national and state parks, as well as agribusiness activities, forestry, food production and tourism assets. I am pleased that your LPS will enable a good balance to be achieved between the needs of your community, the economy and the environment.
I note that your LPS makes reference to the Upper Yarra and Dandenong Ranges Regional Strategy Plan and it is intended that both of these documents will be used to guide decision-making.”
- HON RICHARD WYNNE MP Minister for Planning.
