Melbourne Gardens Master Plan 2020 - 2040, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria
Established in 1846 under the Directorship of botanist Ferdinand Mueller and designed by Director William Guilfoyle between 1873 and 1909, the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria’s Melbourne Gardens were planned as a single Garden, displaying and nurturing a collection of over 8,000 species of plants from across the globe. Since 1997 the management of the site has been directed by a Master Plan, with Andrea Proctor being engaged by the RBGV to assist Andrew Laidlaw and Executive Director, Chris Cole to produce the Melbourne Gardens Master Plan 2020-2040.
The new Master Plan responds to the latest opportunities and challenges facing the Gardens, including the need for a new building to house the National Herbarium of Victoria, the new Anzac Station, the Domain Parklands Master Plan, the impact of climate change on the plant collections and a growing recognition of the importance of green space within the city. The new plan, developed with staff, stakeholders and the community will guide its management for the next 20 years. |
