MidCoast Parks and Recreation Strategic Planning Portfolio
Strategic and Master Planning Award
NSW/ACT
Submission Overview
The development of the MidCoast Parks and Recreation Planning Portfolio sets an industry benchmark for the management of public open space in Australia. We sought to identify the key planning components for our 826 parks and reserves, and having done that set about developing strategies for those key components. Managing open space, sport, recreation, play, skate, and the lighting of our sports facilities was acknowledged as being key to delivering outcomes for our community. The MidCoast Parks and Recreation Planning Portfolio presents to the parks industry a different way of doing planning.
