Green Wedges Coalition - A vision for Melbourne

 

 The 1968-71 metropolitan planning process officially established nine Green Wedges as non-urban zones between Melbourne's main urban development corridors. It outlined acceptable non-urban uses, including recreation, flora and fauna conservation, landscape protection, resource utilization and farming. The protection of public land and of public open space - including Crown and public authority land - is integral to the first two of these uses, but not necessarily to the others.
