| The Merri Valley: Nature on Melbourne’s northern doorstep | 3:05 PM, Jan 22 2009 |
|
In December 2008, the State Government announced investigations for a significant expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary. One investigation area covers most of the Merri Creek catchment from north of Craigieburn to Wallan. In response, the Friends of Merri Creek present their vision of parklands, habitat links and rural and urban landscapes that sustain natural ecosystems and provide spaces for recreation:- A Melbourne of 5 million people without sacrificing the plants and animals that have made the Merri home for millennia. The Friends of Merri Creek seek protection for creeks, wetlands, significant native vegetation, volcanic cones, Aboriginal and historic heritage. We envisage a network of habitat links through urban and rural areas, to connect larger conservation reserves within and beyond the Merri catchment. Green wedges would be retained between growth corridors, and rural communities and landscapes sustained, both for their own sake and as breathing spaces for the metropolis, complementing the habitat in conservation areas. These measures will help to maintain Melbourne’s liveability for people, and maintain the diversity of life on our northern doorstep. Click here for more information |
