The Integrated Open Space Plan (IOSP) analyses the City’s existing pubic open space and makes clear recommendations on how open space can be conserved, enhanced and extended to meet the community’s recreation and leisure needs, both now and into the future.

The aims of the IOSP are to:

  • establish a clear understanding of the types of open space and their distribution across the City
  • recognise the recreational, environmental, social and health & well being values of open space
  • establish a clear understanding of stakeholder and community needs in relation to open space
  • establish clear linkages and corridors between key points of interest, town centres and transport nodes and suggest enhancements
  • identify future actions to ensure that the values of open space are sustainably managed
  • inform an open space enhancement program to improve facilities and encourage their use.
