Open Space Strategy – planning for future growth
The City of Melbourne manages over 500 hectares of open space. This represents almost 15 percent of the total area of the City of Melbourne.
To meet the needs of the growing and changing residential and worker population, and to respond to issues such as climate change, we have prepared our first draft Open Space Strategy for the entire municipality.
The draft Open Space Strategy provides the overarching framework and strategic direction for open space planning in the City of Melbourne for the next 15 years.
A key objective of the strategy is to plan Melbourne’s open space network to one that is within easy walking distance to the community, particular in areas of forecasted population growth.
