Open up about open spaces!

Do you have a vision for Central Otago’s open spaces? Let Council know how these spaces should be used now and in the future!

Background

Council is working on Central Otago District Council’s first Open Spaces and Recreation 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.

Council have listened to what the community had to say in the first survey and now want to know if we're on the right track. Council wants to ask you some more specific questions, to help clarify and prioritise some of the points raised in the first survey.

The Open Spaces Strategy is an information-gathering process which will guide the future development of Council-owned open spaces and reflect any pressures, constraints, conflicts and opportunities for the management and development of these spaces. It is noted that decisions around open spaces are reliant on funding availability.

What are open spaces?

Council is interested in hearing what you think about Council-managed open spaces. Open spaces include:

  • 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

Council would love to hear from you!

Tell us what you think by completing the survey by Thursday 16 November. Hard copies are available at all Council Service Centres as well as the libraries in Cromwell and Alexandra.

We take your privacy seriously. Any personal details you provide will remain confidential. We do not intend to proactively publish any verbatim comments we receive in response to this survey. The results will be collated in a summary report that will include key themes that come through in the comments.

Please note that comments received for any survey are considered official information and may be released if requested under the Local Government Official information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA).

Please read our privacy policy before you begin.
