[On-screen text: The vision for cities, suburbs and towns]
Speaker: From Sunshine to Spotswood, Melton to Werribee South, Macedon to Footscray, communities connect and flow through our water corridors. In Footscray Park, Point Cook, Coastal Park, Birmingham Reserve and many other parks along our waterways, we see families from different cultures gathering and celebrating.
Communities are interacting in harmony with the natural environment, joggers, cyclists commuting to and from work. We hear people laughing together with the sounds of children splashing in the water, frogs croaking, birds singing and the hum of urban life.
Along waterways in our cities and towns, like Moonee Ponds Creek, cyclists pass protected natural areas with native vegetation and wildlife.
Urban development is designed to protect and improve the health of the creek.
Communities are proud of their contribution to restoring and growing landscapes that enhance the wellbeing of people and the environment.
We wander through hidden natural refuges, pockets of greenery, a place to escape from the city and along the way we are reminded of the layers of history and different lessons of the waterways.
