  • Discussion Paper Submission
    Discussion Paper Submission Chapter 2: Growth, challenges, fundamental principles and key concepts 1. The discussion paper includes the option (option 5, page 16) that Plan Melbourne better define the key opportunities and challenges for developing Melbourne and outlines some key points for considerations in Box 1. Are there any other opportunities or challenges that we should be aware of? Council believes there is great scope to improve Plan Melbourne’s response to the challenges and opportunities facing Melbourne and therefore welcomes clearer articulation and expansion of issues addressed by the plan. It is pleasing to see that the major shortfalls of Plan Melbourne 2014 have been addressed in the Discussion Paper, including many of the matters raised in Council’s submission to the draft Plan Melbourne 2014. Nevertheless, the State Government’s commitment to addressing the issue of development along the Maribyrnong River is a concerning omission which we believe needs adequate attention in Plan Melbourne 2016. A key challenge is to ensure that development along the Maribyrnong River does not undermine the valley’s landscape and social values. Council would like to see the Maribyrnong River Valley Design Guidelines (2010) reviewed to strengthen planning controls to protect and enhance the river corridor. Council is keen to ensure that developments comply with controls, such as height limits and setbacks, and construction does not negatively impact on the waterway. The guidelines also need to ensure quality open space is properly managed and expanded to meet the needs of a growing community. 2. The discussion paper includes the option (option 6, page 18) that the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals be included in Plan Melbourne 2016.
