Objective

This initiative seeks to understand existing biolinks/habitat corridors across the Port Phillip and Western Port region, identify the gaps in these corridors and where there are opportunities to connect fragmented biolinks or habitat corridors. It is acknowledged that this project and the Eastern Region Connectivity Planning initiative have similar aims although at different scales. It is also recognised that there is an opportunity to leverage and align the work of both initiatives

Next steps

Explore the opportunity to partner with the Eastern Region Connectivity Planning Working Group to agree on a sub-regional approach and seek funding to pilot a connectivity plan in the eastern region of Melbourne.
