The ledger
| Stated | Cost | Completion | Status | What was said |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Never publicly costed | Not published | Funded, not started | Planned as 15,000 hectares to offset growth-corridor development under the Melbourne Strategic Assessment, funded by a developer levy, so acquisition tracks the pace of development. 12,800 hectares lie in Wyndham, more than 20 per cent of the municipality's land area. It would be the largest protected area in metropolitan Melbourne. Wyndham City Council | |
| Never publicly costed | Not published | Under way | About 21 per cent, roughly 3,205 hectares, acquired. This figure is from February 2024 and needs refreshing from the Melbourne Strategic Assessment before it is relied on. Melbourne Strategic Assessment |
