Protecting the Green Wedge, one of Victoria’s most important assets, is always front of mind. We’ve introduced a Green Wedge Management Plan, as well as strategies and actions to protect our environment for the long term.
Back in 2019 we delivered a Green Wedge exhibition. This was done as part of Our Arts and Culture Plan 2020-2024, to achieve Goal 1 and specifically to inspire and enrich the community through free, accessible and family friendly events.
