Project Overview
The draft Yarra Park Master Plan proposes a series of both individual and interlinked projects to ensure the park’s longevity in both its use and function. These projects aim to improve safety, protect and enhance the avenues of trees, make the park’s spaces more functional, and recognise the park's important significance of place. It also identifies a series of other opportunities that might not result in immediate physical changes to the park, but that once complete will provide important guides, strategies and frameworks for the use and maintenance of Yarra Park in the future.
Consultation
Consultation on the draft Yarra Park Master Plan 2025 was open from 17 October to 16 November, 2025. We are now reviewing the feedback received and making any necessary updates to the Master Plan. A consultation summary report is also being prepared and will accompany the formal request for a Planning Scheme Amendment to the Minister for Planning.
Once finalised, the Master Plan, along with supporting reports and draft statutory documentation, will be submitted to the Minister later in 2025 as part of the amendment request. If approved, the amendment will be incorporated into the Melbourne Planning Scheme through gazettal.
