Update on Draft Open Space and Sportsground Strategies

In February 2009, Council withdrew its draft Open Space and Sportsground strategies from public comment. Having heard a strong community desire for a more integrated approach to meeting the needs of many different open space users, Council is now committed to presenting a clearer strategic direction for community consultation.

Background

Council needs to develop a new open space strategy to meet the many different and changing community needs of how open space is used.

Once Council agrees on the process for developing a new integrated strategy, this will be communicated to stakeholders, organisations and residents who were involved in developing the now withdrawn drafts, and those who made a submission or enquiry, completed a survey and/or registered their details at the Draft Sportsground Strategy community information sessions.

If you would like your contact details to be included on this database, email npaton@bayside.vic.gov.au. This will ensure you receive any future correspondence regarding the new integrated Open Space Strategy.

On progressing the development of this new strategy, the feedback, submissions and surveys received through consultation on the now withdrawn draft strategies will be considered to guide future proposals on how all open space is provided in the future to meet community needs.
