The Upper Yarra Sustainable Development Alliance (UYSDA) is holding a community meeting in Warburton on the Warburton Urban Design Framework (WUDF) in February.
Following the Yarra Ranges Council’s verdict to defer any decision on the WUDF until March 26 due to a lack of community consultation, the UYSDA wants to engage residents to bring their ideas and learn more about what they can do to halt the WUDF being voted through in its current form.
The UYSDA is concerned about the following, which are directly or indirectly proposed in the WUDF:
The relocation of the tennis courts to make way for a road and convert the heritage listed tennis club into a potential commercial enterprise.
Encouragement of three storey building development along the river.
Creation of 61 car parks between The Redwoods oval and the Yarra River.
Replacement of the historic community-built Warburton Millgrove Football Netball Club rooms
The community meeting will be held at ADRA Redwood Community Centre on Tuesday 6 February at 7pm.
All enquiries can be directed to yarravalleysdalliance@gmail.com.
