OCM.029/13 Submission to Metropolitan Planning Strategy 2012 Discussion PaperAttachment 1Executive Summary This submission provides the Shire of Nillumbik’s response to the issues and ideasraised in the Discussion Paper: ‘Melbourne, let’s talk about the future’.Nillumbik Shire Council (Council) commends the State Government on its commitment tothe considered and careful planning of Melbourne.The outcome principles of the Discussion Paper are generally supported.Council is concerned however, that the Discussion Paper as a whole appears toadvocate for the abandonment of many of the sound and supported policies establishedunder Melbourne 2030, most particularly Activity Centre planning and Green Wedgecontrols.Council has worked hard on and committed significant resources into implementing thecurrent metropolitan strategy, in particular through its work on the Eltham and DiamondCreek Major Activity Centre Structure Plans. There are only so many ways that amodern, global city can sustainably function and the established hierarchy of ActivityCentres is strategically sound.The Discussion Paper appears yet again, to be re-opening the debate about hard andsoft urban edges which is not useful. Council wholly supports a hard line between urbanand rural areas that cannot be moved without legislative change. The new zone reformsonly serve to further de-regulate land uses in the Green Wedge, and allow high-tripgenerating activities to locate in dispersed rural areas.Green Wedges designated for their conservation values must continue to be recognisedprimarily for those values. Introducing policies specifically aimed at increasing theeconomic value of those areas is in direct conflict with their conservation.Council agrees with the statement in the Paper that the current metropolitan strategylacked an Infrastructure Development Plan and urges the government to produce andcommit to one. But Council does not see a need for a drastic change in the direction ofMelbourne’s planning policies. Council would urge the government to do more toimprove the current strategy in line with the Melbourne 2030 5 Year Audit, with particularemphasis on infrastructure.26
