*** Parks Victoria is seeking comments on the draft concepts until Sunday 2 July 2017 ***

The Haining Farm Working Group (Working Group) is a community based working group that was established in February 2017 to help guide the Haining Farm development, including coordinating the bushfire planning process, identifying the key themes to be considered for planning future use and developing concepts for community consultation.
The Working Group is made up of six Don Valley community members, and representatives from, Parks Victoria, DELWP, Yarra Ranges Council, CFA, Yellingbo Conservation Area Coordinating Committee and Yarra Waterways Group. The Working Group has been supported by independent technical experts, who have provided information about a range of factors, including bushfire risk, that impact the site and influence what the site can be used for.
Based on this process the opportunities for the site include conservation, farming and agriculture, education and recreation. The Haining Farm Working Group has, over the course of 10 workshops, developed three concepts for the future of Haining Farm and is presenting these to the community for comment. Each of these concepts address a range of criteria to reflect the objectives for the future of Haining Farm.

All three concepts address the criteria to varying degree and in different ways. Please view each concept plan by clicking through the concepts below.
