The objective of the strategy is to provide a framework and principles for the planning, design and management of Council’s network of play spaces. It will also provide the service framework for the assessment of play space provision on a site-by-site or area basis and the development of an asset management plan for play spaces. The plan will inform Council’s future capital works priorities and will assist in ensuring that the service can be sustained into the future. This is a strategic document that considers trends in the provision of play spaces, guidelines, current standards and changes in the City of Whitehorse.
