OPEN SPACE STRATEGY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
To seek Council's endorsement on the Draft Open Space
Strategy.
BACKGROUND:
The 2004-8 Management Plan requires the completion
<strong>of</strong> the Open Space Strategy. As part <strong>of</strong> its initial
development, comprehensive review <strong>of</strong> studies,
resources and opportunities for Ku-ring-gai’s public
open space assets and the demands and needs <strong>of</strong> our
population were undertaken.
COMMENTS:
The Draft Open Space Strategy provides a framework
for the coordination and integration <strong>of</strong> Council’s Open
Space program. The intention <strong>of</strong> the Strategy is <strong>to</strong> guide
the delivery <strong>of</strong> short <strong>to</strong> long term outcomes for Open
Space assets.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Draft Open Space Strategy <strong>be</strong> publicly
exhibited and that following the public exhibition period
a further report <strong>be</strong> brought back <strong>to</strong> Council addressing
outcomes <strong>of</strong> consultation
