Should the urban growth boundary be extended further in the Yarra Ranges? What sort of development would you allow? Any extension of the urban growth boundary needs to be carefully considered to ensure we retain the environmental integrity and beauty of our region. That said I think there is scope to allow appropriate development in Coldstream such at that proposed by the Coldstream 2020 Group.

Should the urban growth boundary be extended further in the Yarra Ranges? What sort of development would you allow? No. The infrastructure would need considerable consideration for residential growth. There are already three plans eg 2020 vision statement, recent high density living boundaries and an older plan not yet passed up. All way too confusing. Yes to small business/industry that has not had any increase for almost 20 years.

Should the urban growth boundary be extended further in the Yarra Ranges? What sort of development would you allow? Development is another complex issue where individual cases need to be carefully assessed on their merits and their costs. However, overall I believe that our healthy lifestyle, with clean air and water and the tourism industry that is the main employer in Ryrie Ward, are very dependent upon the area retaining its natural attractions. For this reason I would be very reluctant to see a major extension of the urban growth boundary in our region.

Should the urban growth boundary be extended further in the Yarra Ranges? What sort of development would you allow? Do we want to become the outer suberb of Melbourne? Do we want our vineyards and wineries to be surrounded by suburbia? Would urban growth support our region as a tourist destination? I put that question out to the people of Ryrie. Isn’t it for the community to decide?

Should the urban growth boundary be extended further in the Yarra Ranges? What sort of development would you allow? The right to build on land you own must be upheld. Further urban growth will not be necessary in the foreseeable future but if demand calls for responsible growth the n I would consider it favourably,particularly where towns like Coldstream desperately need a n increase in population to be sustainable.
FIONA McALLISTER
Should the urban growth boundary be extended further in the Yarra Ranges? What sort of development would you allow? I do not believe extension of urban growth boundaries is the solution to population growth and affordable housing but do believe that Yarra Ranges Council does play a key role in tackling and resolving these issues. What I do think is the more important question is: Is the current approach at the officer and policy level to planning within our shire having a strong negative impact on our communities, sustainable growth, the local economy, and our physical and natural environment? Yes! I support development and appropriate controls but ones that are based on commonsense, allow for considered urban growth and are applied consistently.

I am unable to respond in an informed way to this question. This is an area I am interested in. I am aware of proposed changes to the green wedge zones. I believe there a review of sorts happening at the request of State Government regarding the 2020 planning framework. There is an overarching Regional planning framework. I think the community expects commonsense in planning decisions, with people s needs coming before drip zones of trees.

We need to get the balance right and be able to provide for our children and grandchildren. During this process we need to hold on to what we value yet allow for some growth. We live in in small rural towns amongst farms that provide a considerable amount of what we value (open spaces and farmland) not to mention why we live here (fresh air and space). Well that’s why we live here isn’t it? But we also want to create space for our children and our grandchildren. It is important to get the balance right. Let us consider our choices and consult everyone every step of the way.
