VICTORIAN Minister for Planning Richard Wynne has adopted the recommendations made by an independent committee into the Fishermans Bend urban renewal project.
In July last year, Wynne appointed an 11 member team to advise on the overhaul the 455ha.
The committee made 40 recommendations focusing on transport, future infrastructure, design controls, community engagement and sustainability.
Wynne said 34 recommendations have been adopted in full, six in part, including the need for a new planning taskforce dedicated to drafting plans.
“Urban renewal planning for a 455ha former industrial area so close to the city is an extraordinary opportunity to generate jobs and deliver more housing and close to the CBD,” Wynne said.
