Management and maintenance of public open space
The Department will not adopt public open space; developers must ensure land is retained, managed and maintained in perpetuity as public open space through legal arrangements.
The provisions made for the management and maintenance of public open space required under this policy are a key material consideration in the determination of planning applications. The Department will not adopt such open space areas. The onus, therefore, will rest on developers to ensure that such land will be made available and subsequently retained, managed and maintained in perpetuity as public open space.
