Project Status Updates
Project Status Updates – February 2023
The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) has been progressing the planning for Casey Fields South & Devon Meadows by continuing to build an evidence base through a series of technical reports and ongoing stakeholder engagement. This evidence base will inform our place-based plan for the two precincts.
Since our last update in November 2022, we have:
- Held an in-person co-design workshop with landowners, the City of Casey (Council), and key agencies to further develop the place-based plan with support from key stakeholders
- Commenced work on the co-design workshop summary report to highlight key discussions and outcomes
- Continued work with the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) to plan the future transport network
- Progressed technical work to investigate and identify the issues and opportunities of the future transport network
- Continued work with Melbourne Water on the requirements for the Drainage Services Scheme (DSS), and the implications for the precincts
- Continued to investigate areas of cultural significance in collaboration with the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation
- Continued technical work to assess biodiversity, high level servicing, and integrated water management requirements.
We have also published the following technical reports, which can be found in the Supporting Documentation tab below:
- Arboriculture
- Community Infrastructure & Open Space
- Draft Integrated Water Management
- Economic & Retail
- Landscape & Visual Character
- Land Capability
- Post-Contact Heritage.
In the coming months we will be focused on developing a draft place-based plan with Council and agencies that integrates the findings of the technical studies and reflects the ideas from the co-design workshop in preparation for agency validation.
