Table 2.1 City Values from CSP 2016 and LSPS 2019
City Values Description Our Unique Landscape
A place where the natural environment (bushland coast, lake, and mountains) is protected and enhanced; where our existing urban centres are the focus of our growth, maintaining their unique characteristics. Munibung Hill is part of the bushland environment of the City. It is an important and highly visible natural feature, occupying the skyline to the northwest of the lake. Bushland on Munibung Hill is recovering after many decades of severe impacts; it retains important environmental conservation values including threatened ecological communities and species. Conservation is a key focus of the Management Plan.
Lifestyle and Wellbeing
A place that encourages safe, active, and social opportunities. The community has told us that they enjoy visiting Munibung Hill for walking for fitness or with family or their pets and sometimes for bike riding. Bushland context and views are both important. Some currently used tracks have safety risks and some cross private property. The Management Plan focuses on making selected tracks safe and on providing access on public land. It aims to encourage increased, controlled, and safe use, while protecting important cultural and biodiversity values.
Mobility and Accessibility
Effective transport systems that provide options to conveniently move people, goods, and services.
A Diverse Economy
Which is resilient and adaptable to change, making the best use of the unique advantages of our location and lifestyle. Recreational access to Munibung Hill contributes to the City’s lifestyle. The potential for economic benefits through access to Munibung Hill for tourism was investigated in the Context, Values and Constraints Report (Umwelt 2021a, SMA 2021). The constraints affecting Munibung Hill mean that in the short to medium term, there are limited tourism or economic diversification opportunities associated with recreational access.
Munibung Hill Value and Potential Contribution
This is not directly related to the management of Munibung Hill. There is an indirect connection through linking access points for recreation on Munibung Hill to the City’s active transport network and to public transport and providing trail head parking areas.
