Background
Council is working on Central Otago District Council’s first Open Spaces and Recreation Strategy (the Strategy), which will guide how to locate, maintain, and develop Council-managed open spaces in the long term.
Council conducted an online survey in August 2022 as the first step in the consultation process. The survey asked the community how they want Council to approach the use and development of open spaces and play on Council’s land across the district over the next 30 years. The survey also helped identify issues and opportunities affecting Council’s open spaces. A second survey was conducted in July and August 2023 to help clarify and prioritise some of the points raised in the first survey.
Based on feedback received from the two previous surveys, the draft Open Spaces and Recreation Strategy has been drafted and is ready for final review to make sure we've got it right.
What are open spaces?
Neighbourhood parks and reserves (close to residential areas)
Public gardens (flower gardens at Pioneer Park)
Sports fields, courts and turfs
Playgrounds
Greenways
Walking and cycling tracks/trails
Skateparks, BMX parks, bike safety parks and pump tracks
Cemeteries
Other open spaces
