Submission on Behalf of Yarra Council to the Draft Yarra Strategic Plan Panel
1 Submission on behalf of Yarra Council to the draft Yarra Strategic Plan Panel. Introduction 1. This submission is made on behalf Yarra Council as one of the Responsible Public Entities (RPE) nominated in the Yarra River Protection (Wilip-gin Birrarong murron) Act 2017 (the Act). 2. Council submitted a preliminary submission to the draft Yarra Strategic Plan (YSP) in April this year. Subsequently, Council at its meeting on 5 May 2020, endorsed this submission and by resolution provided some further comments it wishes to put to the Panel. The resolution of the Council is attached to this submission. 3. Council’s submission regarding the Land Use Framework (LUF) is confined to the Suburban and Inner City reaches. The Suburban Reach extending west of Darebin Creek through to the Merri Creek confluence including Yarra Bend Park and the Inner City covering the remaining area westward to Punt Road in Richmond. General 4. Council acknowledges the significant amount of work that has gone into developing the draft YSP. Council considers that whilst the draft YSP is a significant step towards meeting the requirements of the Act and generally sets the right directions there are aspects of the draft that need further consideration and improvement. 5. Council does not consider that the draft YSP is fully developed nor does it account sufficiently for the protection of the ecological values and significant biodiversity of the Yarra River and surrounds, or the impact that climate change will have on these values. 6. Further, Council considers that balancing the interaction between human activity and the ecological functions, including wildlife habitat of the Yarra River corridor, needs to be further refined. -
