The Moreland Open Space Strategy sets Council a cohesive direction for the future provision, planning, design and management of publicly owned open space that is set aside for leisure, recreation and nature conservation purposes. The main aim is to preserve and enhance its environmental values and provide for future community needs. The Strategy recognises the value of open space not managed or owned by Council, including parks and reserves that abut Council’s boundary in other municipalities, and other open space owned by other agencies.
