Over a three month consultation period we received more than 100 written submissions. We considered all submissions when we were preparing this final version.

ISBN 0 7311 8325 8 2002. MINISTER’S FOREWORD Melbourne’s world-class network of parks, trails and waterways has been planned, fought for and created over the last 140 years. This precious legacy has many recreational, cultural, ecological and economic benefits that are essential to the city’s healthy functioning and liveability. In December 2001, the Bracks Government finalised the transfer of more than 4000 hectares of metropolitan parkland from freehold title to Crown Land status. For many years these parks have been vulnerable to ad hoc decisions of previous governments. Without adequate protection through legislation, and without a sound strategy, this land could have been sold off without any opportunity for public debate.
