Parks Facility Strategy
The City of Armadale’s Parks Facilities Strategy aims to strengthen the design, implementation and management of public open space and associated infrastructure.
The Park’s Facilities Strategy is intended to address the diverse community needs and expectations through the appropriate provision of space, form and infrastructure ensuring parks and facilities are planned and allocated accordingly, whoever the provider, manager or deliverer of the facility service might be.
This document provides an assessment framework to guide the provision of public open space and infrastructure by establishing a hierarchy of parks based on their size, function and infrastructure, founded on existing City of Armadale provision and benchmarked externally.
The purpose of the Parks Facilities Strategy is not only to provide information to developers operating within the City of Armadale but to guide and positively influence the City to improve and develop the City’s parklands in terms of the following:
The nature of POS sites desired by the City
The size and possible layout of local and district recreation and sporting spaces
The functionality of POS with respect to local context
The link between state and local POS expectations
