The Greater Sydney Public Open Spaces Audit was prepared using data collected in 2014 by Office of the Government Architect to identify all public open space within the Greater Sydney Region and supplemented with additional data in 2016.
Open Space Categories
From a recreational planning perspective, public open space can be differentiated into the categories of reflecting the likely catchment and the facilities provided. This audit has focused on the provision of regional and non-regional open space. These are defined as follows:
Regional City-wide metropolitan
Non-regional
Multiple neighbourhoods that may extend beyond LGA boundaries
Single neighbourhood located close to or within residential areas
Regional and Non-regional open space is further differentiated by whether its primary use is for active or for passive recreation.
Active open space is land set aside for the primary purpose of formal outdoor sports for the community. Active open space supports team sports, training and competition and typically features sports facilities such as playing fields, change rooms, grandstand and car parks.
Passive open space is land set aside for parks, gardens, linear corridors, conservation bushland and nature reserves. These areas are made available for passive recreation, play and unstructured physical activity.
Bushland is passive open space that includes vegetation which is either a remainder of the natural vegetation of the land or, if altered, is still representative of the structure and floristics of the natural vegetation. Bushland can include biodiversity corridors, reserves, national parks and wetlands. Many of these spaces provide more limited recreation or public access opportunities than other open space types.
