Historical information

In August 1976, MMBW commissioned Consultants to provide comprehensive planning services for the preparation of a Plan for the development of the Yarra Valley Metropolitan Park, the proposed Park is a linear corridor surrounded by the Heidelberg and Eltham communities to the north; the Camberwell, Doncaster and Templestowe and Warrandyte communities are located to the south. Parklands comprise about 1700 hectares or about 4200 acres of land extending from Burke Road Bridge to Pound Bend, Warrandyte. The consultants (Scott and Furphy Engineers Pty Ltd, Landscape Division) were directed to investigate all recreation, conservation and landscape aspects which would have direct visual, environmental or regional recreation bearing on the proposed parkland. Their final report is published bearing in mind that the development of the Yarra Valley Metropolitan Park must occur over a long span of time.
