Council is working with the community in Yarra Junction to develop a Place Plan. This involves:

  • Identifying issues and opportunities
  • Understanding what is valued by the community
  • Developing a community vision, establishing priorities and creating an action plan for the future of Yarra Junction

The feedback from this phase of the project will be used to develop a Yarra Junction Place Plan. The Place Plan will influence future local developments and projects. Yarra Junction is your town and we want to know

  • What do you love?
  • Where are the opportunities?
  • What would you like to see in the future of Yarra Junction?
