Open Space Category and Hierarchy Guide

The Streaky Bay District Open Space Category and Hierarchy Plan recommends that open space should be managed in accordance with hierarchy levels. For example, open space that has a regional or district value could have a greater level of development and be managed to a higher standard compared to other open space. The District Management Plan also recognises that there are various types of open space within the Streaky Bay District and this can influence the approach to development and management.

The purpose of this Guideline is to explain the different types (categories) of open space and hierarchy levels and recommend approaches to development and management. The Guideline relates to open space that is owned or managed by the District Council of Streaky Bay and links to the Community Land Inventory provided in Appendix 6 of the District Management Plan Appendices Report.

The Guideline includes:

§ Definitions for open space categories

§ Management considerations for open space categories

§ Hierarchy definitions

§ Potential standards linked to hierarchy

§ Guidelines for open space development linked to hierarchy

§ Guidelines for open space maintenance linked to hierarchy

The Open Space Category and Hierarchy Guide builds on previous guidelines developed by Suter Planners with Wax Design, including for the City of Tea Tree Gully, City of Rockdale, City of Campbelltown, City of Victor Harbor, City of Charles Sturt and City of Port Adelaide Enfield. However it has been specifically tailored for the District of Streaky Bay.
