Public Open Space Strategy - We need your help

Due to COVID, council priorities have shifted. This project has been placed on hold until late 2020.

Congratulations to our Fitbit winner, a local Swanbourne resident who completed the Public Open Space Strategy Survey.

The opportunity to provide feedback by completing the survey has now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated in this part of the project. The surveys and the feedback received are now being reviewed by the Strategic Planning Team.

On Wednesday, 27 March 2019, the City was invited to Mt Claremont Primary School to discuss the Public Open Space Strategy. The Officers gave Year 5 and Year 6 pupils an opportunity to fill out the survey in order to capture the younger demographic's thoughts.

Upon initial review of the feedback, the students requested more recreational equipment.

Remember, the opportunity for feedback closes 5pm, Monday, 8 April 2019. So don't forget to fill out the survey or drop a pin on the interactive map.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our onsite engagement days and completed a survey. The City had approximately 160 people attend the four sessions at Carrington Park, Mason Gardens, Dot Bennett Park and New Court Gardens.

Don't forget you only have a couple of weeks left to complete a survey or drop a pin on the interactive map,

The City apologises for this tool not functioning properly in the last day.

It is now fixed and we look forward to seeing the parks and public open space that you use and your thoughts about it.

You can map your thoughts by:

Clicking on the “Go to Map” icon, this will take you to the map.

The City of Nedlands map appears. You can make the map larger by clicking on the + button on the bottom right-hand side of the screen or use the wheel on your mouse.

Enlarge the map until you find the public open space, park or reserve you would like to make comment on. Remember the public open space can include all sorts of spaces for example school ovals.

Go to the “add a pin” section on the left-hand side of the map.

To add you comments, please click on the icon, click and hold-down the left mouse button. Drag the icon to the park you would like to make comment on. Un-click the mouse button. The pin will drop into place.

When the pin is dropped into position on the park, a box will appear so you can type your comments into it.

Then click on the submit button.

The Public Open Space Strategy helps shape the need for green, accessible parks and reserves across the City of Nedlands, based on current demand and future growth.

We are now looking at the use of our existing parks and seeking feedback from the community. We want to learn more about how you use your local parks, what you like about them, or what can be improved.

Please complete our short 5 minute survey, and go in the draw to win a Fitbit Charge 3 (Valued at $229).
