What are open spaces?

In Cardinia Shire, open spaces include:

• sport and active recreation reserves
• nature reserves
• parks and playground spaces
• urban plaza spaces.

What the new strategy will do

It will shape the strategic direction for Cardinia Shire’s open spaces over the next 10 years. It will look at existing open spaces across the shire and identify future needs.

We heard from you

We collected your thoughts and ideas about open spaces, to help us develop a comprehensive plan that reflects the community’s priorities, desires and aspirations. We hope this leads to more people in the community enjoying and getting benefit from the shire’s open spaces.

How we'll use the information we collected

All information collected through the online survey, photo competition and drop-in sessions will assist in the development of the Draft Open Space Strategy. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback on this draft once complete.
