Our Open Space Plan 2013 has been developed to guide the future provision, development and management of open space within the City. Open space refers to community land that is available or potentially available to the public for recreation or sport, or has a conservation, aesthetic or buffer purpose.

A diversity of open space exists in our City, including sporting grounds, parks for informal recreation, linear parks and corridors including the River Torrens Linear Park and Dry Creek, the coastline, natural areas and wetlands, drainage areas and road reserves.

Each year we allocate resources to developing and maintaining open space, to improve the quality of parks and reserves. Our Open Space Plan assists us to address issues, gaps and needs in terms of of the use of open space. In particular, helps us determine the priorities and directions for open space improvements and guide the future design and function of open space, particularly in new development areas.

Refer Council Plans for further information. To put forward your ideas in regards to the Open Space Plan please complete the Form refer "Community Forms - Open Space Plan Feedback" and submit to Council Customer Service.
