It wasn't until 2002 that the term 'Green Wedge' was formally recognised in the metropolitan planning strategy 'Melbourne 2030: Planning for Sustainable Growth'. Together with the introduction of an 'urban growth boundary,' green wedges were enshrined in legislation and the Victorian planning provisions.

​

In order that green wedges are properly managed, the victorian government requires that involved councils develop a 'Green Wedge Management Plan,' which identifies the values and features of their particular green wedge and specifies how these environmental and natural resources can be protected.
