Canberra’s urban open spaces are popular places to relax, exercise, play and connect with nature and contribute to our reputation as one of the most liveable cities in the world. As our population continues to grow, there will be increased demand for high quality public spaces that are accessible, safe and meet the changing needs of the community.
A draft Urban Open Space Land Management Plan has been developed to provide a framework for the management of the Canberra’s urban open spaces including town, district and neighbourhood parks, sportsgrounds and dryland ovals, pedestrian parklands and semi natural urban open spaces and landscaped areas around shopping centres as well as public cemeteries.
Feedback is now invited to help refine the draft plan, to help us better understand the community’s priorities for our urban open space network and to ensure the final plan reflects the needs of the community.

Consultation closes 15 August 2023.
