Most of Manningham’s eastern half (more than 4,000ha, largely east of the Mullum Mullum Creek) is defined as a ‘green wedge’ area to protect natural and rural values.
Protecting the Green Wedge
Safeguarding the Green Wedge is vital for maintaining ecological balance, enhancing our quality of life, and promoting sustainable development.
We are committed to protecting the Green Wedge, as expressed through several policies and protections in our planning scheme.
We have adopted the Green Wedge Infrastructure Design Guide, which aims to ensure sympathetic engineering works in this environmentally sensitive area.
We provide educational programs to our community, including:
- seminars
- field trips
- walks aimed at protecting native plants and preventing pest related damage.
Living in the Green Wedge
Residents living in the Green Wedge have different responsibilities to those living in suburban areas.
If you live in the Green Wedge, download the documents below to understand what is required.
If you live on a property that is within our designated Green Wedge, you may be eligible to apply for assistance to preserve your bushland.
