Ordinary Meeting <strong>of</strong> Council - 26 April 2005 12 / 4 Item 12 S04028 8 February 2005 Acquisition strategies need also <strong>to</strong> consider the local, district and regional provision <strong>of</strong> open space against financial reality <strong>of</strong> land values in the short term, construction <strong>of</strong> facilities in the medium term and ongoing maintenance cost in the longer term. This will have implications for proposed and future Section 94 Plans. An Open Space Land Acquisition Study has <strong>be</strong>en identified in Council’s Draft Management Plan 2005-09 as a task <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> completed. Other outcomes <strong>of</strong> the strategy have included: • Establishment <strong>of</strong> a rational basis for classifying current and future open space assets <strong>to</strong> guide appointment and service levels in the context <strong>of</strong> resource allocation • Providing clarity <strong>to</strong> assist in the revision and implementation <strong>of</strong> Plans <strong>of</strong> Management, policies and strategies <strong>to</strong> ensure consistency and connectivity • Direction for the development <strong>of</strong> future Management Plan targets and key performance indica<strong>to</strong>rs and budgets from an operational, capital works, research, policy and management perspective. CONSULTATION The development <strong>of</strong> this draft strategy involved drawing from past consultations with key users and other stakeholders and existing Council policies, strategies and plans. However, there is a need <strong>to</strong> ensure that the directions proposed reflect both contemporary and predicted changes in the ways our community use our open space facilities and services. With this in mind detailed discussions <strong>of</strong> the draft strategy with the Parks, Sports and Recreation Reference Group and the Bushland, Catchments and Natural Areas Reference Group have <strong>be</strong>en undertaken. Broader community input in<strong>to</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> the document and its subsequent implementation is now required. While the Strategy has drawn on past studies <strong>of</strong> demand, needs, expectations and demographic analysis, it has not directly sought public comment on its direction nor has it validated its assumptions in terms <strong>of</strong> future program. For example, evidence <strong>to</strong> date suggests a need for a greater provision <strong>of</strong> recreation opportunities for teenagers, young adult females and the highest growth demographic in the LGA (the 55 + years). As a consequence, it is recommended that a consultation program involving general comments and review <strong>be</strong> undertaken <strong>to</strong> provide for greater confidence in the strategy <strong>be</strong>fore its final adoption by Council. Input will <strong>be</strong> sought through Council’s web page, advertising in the North Shore Times, an article in the Mayor’s column and use <strong>of</strong> Council’s resident feedback panel. Following this process a report will <strong>be</strong> brought back <strong>to</strong> Council for final adoption. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The draft strategy identifies a range <strong>of</strong> program and projects that should <strong>be</strong> implemented over the short, medium and long term. Where these require funding these will need <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> considered in the development <strong>of</strong> future management plans and budgets. Whilst implementation <strong>of</strong> all the recommendations is clearly <strong>be</strong>yond Council’s ability <strong>to</strong> resource in the short term, the strategy will assist in the prioritisation <strong>of</strong> tasks over an extended period.

Ordinary Meeting <strong>of</strong> Council - 26 April 2005 12 / 5 Item 12 S04028 8 February 2005 CONSULTATION WITH OTHER COUNCIL DEPARTMENTS Planning and Environment, Technical Services and Finance and Business Development have <strong>be</strong>en involved in the preparation <strong>of</strong> the Open Space Strategy. SUMMARY The development <strong>of</strong> past strategies and programs has involved extensive consultation with our community, key users <strong>of</strong> our open space assets and other stakeholders. This consultation has formed the basis for many <strong>of</strong> the directions set in the draft strategy. However, the strategy clearly identifies a need <strong>to</strong> validate some <strong>of</strong> the findings through workshops and other forms <strong>of</strong> consultation <strong>be</strong>fore the strategy can <strong>be</strong> completed. To this end, this report seeks Council’s support <strong>to</strong> take the draft strategy <strong>to</strong> the community for their input <strong>be</strong>fore returning it <strong>to</strong> Council for endorsement as a final strategy. An important element in the implementation program is the need <strong>to</strong> collect and analyse community information related <strong>to</strong> needs, demands and levels <strong>of</strong> satisfaction all <strong>of</strong> which can <strong>be</strong> used <strong>to</strong> refine the strategy and its implementation. RECOMMENDATION That the Draft Open Space Strategy 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.
