Open Space Strategy

Key Objectives in the Strategy
Specific objectives of the strategy are to:

• Address the need for more open space in parts of the City, especially in Collingwood, Richmond and Cremorne
• Complete the gaps in the linear trail networks along the waterways
• Provide for diverse needs of Yarra's residents in open space
• Improve the provision and design of infrastructure in open space including seats, tables, shelters, toilets etc.
• Develop an open space contribution framework so that new residents in the city contribute fairly to open space
• Improve the environmental values along the waterway corridors including the Yarra River, Merri Creek and Darebin Creek
• Incorporate environmental sustainability principles into future park design, maintenance and management practices
• Address conflicts between different users including cyclists, pedestrians, dog walkers, sporting users and informal passive use
• Improve the interface between adjoining development and open space
• Adequately research, protect and celebrate the Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultural heritage values in open space
• Improve the sense of security in Yarra's open space to make it accessible for all
