Our Communities Our Places

Our Communities Our Places: The Kinglake Ranges, Flowerdale and Toolangi Plan and Design Framework was created to help plan the futures of these communities.

This site remains accessible so that key documents can be accessed and downloaded from the library and so that the feedback from the community in each of the online discussion forums can remain accessible.
