The Whitehorse Open Space Strategy sets out a cohesive direction for the future provision, planning, design and management of publicly owned land that is set aside for leisure, recreation and nature conservation purposes. This direction aims to build upon the excellent existing system of open space already established in Whitehorse to cater to the growing and changing needs of the community and the protection of the natural environment. This includes land that is owned by a range of public authorities including Council, Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and VicRoads.
