VIC Premier
Birrarung, with stronger, permanent planning protections.
The Minister for Planning Richard Wynne today announced permanent planning controls to protect the river and its surrounding lands from Richmond to Warrandyte. The controls will ensure the health and amenity of the Yarra River is safeguarded for future generations.
The changes lock in permanent landscape and built form controls, including height restrictions to prevent overshadowing, and setbacks to protect the river from inappropriate development.
Mandatory height limits of between 6 and 25 metres have been set along the Yarra River between Richmond and Warrandyte and a minimum mandatory setback of 30 meters means no development can occur on the sensitive riverbanks.
