What is the purpose of the Plan Of Management For Open Space?
An open space plan examines the City’s current and future demand for open space, which includes the city’s recreational and sporting areas. Council ‘s objective in commissioning the plan included a desire to: 1. achieve the best outcomes for Council and the Broken Hill community 2. provide higher quality recreational parks and sporting facilities for the community 3. reduce the number of Open Spaces to enable the limited budget to be better used on fewer facilities 4. ensure the long term sustainability of the remaining Open Spaces. The draft plan makes recommendations in relation the management of Council’s parks and open spaces which, if adopted, would enable Council to manage parks and opens space more efficiently and effectively and better meet community expectations. It will also enable Council to prioritise capital and operational expenditure to better meet community expectations.
