Parks, recreation and community infrastructure
Planning for need, capacity and affordability
A1 provides strategic and investment advice for parks, open space, sport and recreation facilities, libraries, community facilities and related infrastructure.
The focus is on understanding future demand, existing capacity, utilisation, service standards and the practical implications of capital and ongoing costs.
Making better use of existing assets
New infrastructure is not always the best response.
A1 considers whether existing facilities can meet future needs through renewal, expansion, reconfiguration, shared use or improved management before additional infrastructure is proposed.
