The Public Open Space Strategy has been developed to guide the planning, development and preservation of public open space across the shire over the next 15 years. It was formally adopted at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 24 May 2016.
Guiding principles include open access, connectivity to towns, diversity, sustainability, community participation, healthy communities and protection of flora, fauna and culturally significant sites. The strategy recommends 20 actions in the areas of policy, planning and management and the provision of public space, as well as recommendations for site specific locations.
The strategy was developed following a review of related plans and strategies, an analysis of current and future population and usage trends, and engagement with key stakeholders and the community.
