PLANNING Minister Matthew Guy has begun an internal review of the green wedge in Nillumbik and other green wedge councils.
The wedges are open landscapes that were set aside more than 30 years ago to conserve rural activities and significant natural features and resources in the growth areas of metropolitan Melbourne. The green wedge audit, as promised during the state election, could result in schools, churches and eco-hostels being built in the zones.
Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s spokeswoman Brownwyn Perry said the internal review of the green wedge was in the preliminary stages, and the full process and timeframe was yet to be established.
‘‘Local councils and communities will be consulted in due course,’’ she said.
Comment: Thank you Mr Guy.
