Johnson v Yarra Ranges SC [2007] VCAT 775
20 Connors Lane, Seville
This case involved the re-subdivision or restructure of existing titles within the Shire of Yarra Ranges. The land is zoned Green Wedge (GWZ2).
In determining that a permit should issue the tribunal discussed that of the total area of nearly 20 hectares approximately 6 hectares had been cleared and the balance contained native vegetation. In these circumstances the tribunal concluded that the land could not be regarded as an important agricultural resource and discussed the tension between land in a Green Wedge Zone which also seeks to protect environmental and landscape qualities.
