Open spaces and places

We want open space in Cardinia Shire to be strategically planned, developed and maintained to create a sense of place, encourage participation, protect the natural environment and promote health and wellbeing.

Increase participation in open spaces and places

We will do this by:

  • strategically planning and maintaining open spaces and places to be safe, accessible, appealing and connected
  • enriching local identity and place making through public art and cultural expression
  • increasing access to leisure, sport and recreation opportunities
  • protecting and enhancing the environmental quality of open spaces and places.
