Edmondson Park South Development Control Plan 2012 - Landcom

Edmondson Park South DCP 2012 November 2012
3.4 Open Space Network
The Edmondson Park South open space network comprises:
22. Regional Park / Conservation Areas;
23. District Parks;
24. Local / Neighbourhood Parks; and
25. Riparian Corridors.
Each level of open space provides various recreational facilities for the community. Additionally, the 150ha of
significant Cumberland Plain Woodland vegetation provides Edmondson Park the opportunity to have a special
natural landscape setting that will attract visitors from outside areas.
Objectives
1. To provide places and spaces that are acceptable to all, accommodates a range of activities for residents
and visitors and capable of responding to changes in demand and future needs.
2. To establish open spaces that promote local character and identity as an interconnected network of open
space comprising conservation areas, parks, squares and streets, rather than a series of unrelated,
unconnected spaces.
3. To incorporate environmentally sensitive areas such as riparian land, bushland, and archeologically
sensitive sites into the open space network and provide appropriate protection and management
mechanisms.
Controls
1. The open space network for Edmondson Park South is to be provided in accordance with Figure 19.
2. Link the open spaces using streets, riparian corridors, pedestrian paths and cycle ways.
3. Orient development surrounding open space towards the park to offer casual surveillance.
4. Provided perimeter streets to all parks on at least three sides. Where a street frontage is not provided
the development must front the park to provide surveillance.
5. Incorporate public art is open space areas where appropriate.
