Update on Bayside Open Space Strategy On 15 December, Bayside City Council approved the Community Engagement Program for its Open Space Strategy. The Community Engagement Program identified the steps, and the approach that will be used to engage the community in developing an Open Space Strategy for Bayside. The Program was scrutinised and improved by a focus group drawn from a range of open space users from different sectors of the Bayside community. This was done to ensure that the Program identified all those who had an interest in the project and that acceptable and useful methods of communication would be used. The recommendations of the group were incorporated into the Program which was then adopted by Council. At the same meeting, Councillors noted their thanks to those who had participated in the focus group. Consultation will commence in the New Year and will be fully promoted at that time. If you have any enquiries, please contact: Mark Ritch
