Purpose

Suburban_Parkland_Boundaries is a spatial representation of the proposed Suburban Parklands within the Melbourne area. The Suburban Parks Program was an election commitment in 2018. The boundaries may overlay multiple reserves and assets as the SPP groups boundaries by the SPP theme. Constructed and proposed linkages in the forms of walking trails, bike trails etc are not included in this data (refer to fact sheets or the relevant future directions plan (where appropriate). Linkages to further information are attributed in the dataset. The parklands are broken down to three types; Co-managed Parks, Connecting Parks and Three New Parks (3NP). The 3 new regional parks give communities in Melbourne’s growing west and south-east suburbs more opportunities to connect with nature and for recreation. These public open spaces will improve lifestyle options for local communities, help protect our native wildlife, increase climate change resilience, attract visitors and strengthen cultural heritage. Connecting Parklands - connects existing and new parklands to create a chain of parks and linked recreational spaces. in Melbourne's south-east. Co-managed Parklands - A key component of SPP is the creation of 4 of Melbourne’s largest metropolitan parklands in partnership with future parkland managers. For each park, a Parkland Partnership Group comprising Traditional Owners (TOs), local councils, water corporations, Parks Victoria, and the Merri Creek Management Committee (represented on the marram baba Merri Creek Partnership Group only) collaboratively develop parkland plans to guide the expansion and creation of new parklands. The parks will be co-managed by multiple landowners that are represented on the Parklands Partnership Group. Each park has a commitment to self-determination and returning land to TOs. Addition of land to the parks will be achieved via a number of land acquisition mechanisms, including developer contributions, a cost-effective way of delivering new parkland for Melbourne.
