LANDSCAPE FRAMEWORK FINAL REPORT 4 5 THE SOUTHERN PARKLANDS — THE NEXT CHAPTER A big park needs a big plan SOUTHERN PARKLANDS The Southern Parklands is a unique piece of land with many outstanding features. In the midst of the large, flat Cumberland Plain, its ridges and gullies are striking sights. Central to these is the north–south ridge, which defines the site and peaks in the north at the Beauty Spot, where sublime views extend to the Blue Mountains. The area is also home to some fascinating bodies of water, from mirrored dams that sit on either side of one ridge to the Upper Canal, a snake-like ribbon that unfurls along the land’s length. SOUTHERN PARKLANDS FRAMEWORK 2018 A park of this scale requires a solid plan for how the land could be used. Our plan works from the land up, fitting the different types of land use to the appropriate landforms. Places to relax, places for adventure, viewing spots and sporting venues, areas of conservation and recreation, spaces for cooling down and even for camping overnight – all these have been considered in terms of where they would fit in the landscape. The following pages show suggestions for different ways the Parklands could be used for the benefit of all. Wylde Mountain Bike Trail, Southern Parklands. 6 7 PARKLANDS LAND USES UNSTRUCTURED RECREATION ACTIVE RECREATION AND SPORTS AND EVENTS The Objective The Objective A variety of regional sports fields and courts, complexes An enticing array of regional picnic spots and such as elite and community sports training centres and playgrounds, open spaces, nature and water indoor recreation venues. play, walking, cycling and riding tracks, cafes and events areas.

  • Why and How We Value Open Space
    GENERATION AFTER GENERATION: WHY AND HOW WE VALUE OPEN SPACE Nancy Marshall, Linda Corkery UNSW, Sydney NSW, Australia INTRODUCTION When urban open space is perceived as ‘green infrastructure’ essential to the natural functioning of a city’s ecological, sociocultural and economic systems, its contributions can be measured and are valued. Value comes in many forms with recognition that large scale parklands are measured in different ‘currencies’ by different constituencies. These values and some example measures include: the parklands’ economic land value (calculated by the amount of money the land is worth if sold on the market), social value (usage levels, community capacity to protect the open space from potential development, social inclusion), cultural worth (diverse historical and current assets, social cohesion metrics), educational; health and developmental value (personal health metrics, recreation and play opportunities, relationship to nature) environmental value (natural respite area, aesthetic greening of urban areas, stewardship), ecological worth (air, water, flora and fauna contribution to the biosphere) and emotional or spiritual value (measured by advocacy, public support and sense of ownership, useage, mental well-being, shared public consciousness and meaning of the place). Traditionally, planners, landscape architects and other design professionals use their disciplinary knowledge and expertise to value, design and manage public open space. Decision-makers however, often opt for ‘the highest and best use paradigm’ when valuing open space, that is, indicating its worth as being equivalent to its potential developable land value. In contrast, citizens value parks more broadly and translate their value into socially constructed meanings based on their experience with them, and their connection to that place and to nature.

  • (1010046) Policy Challenges for Metropolitan Greenspace in Sydney
    POLICY CHALLENGES FOR METROPOLITAN GREENSPACE IN SYDNEY Catherine Evans, Robert Freestone UNSW, Sydney, UNSW, Australia INTRODUCTION Greenspace has long been recognised as a crucial urban amenity for environmental, social and economic reasons. Garvin (2001, 11) maintains that ‘it is impossible to understand fully the functioning of cities and suburbs or plan adequately for their future’ without a ‘deep appreciation of parks and the way they affect every aspect of our lives’. Internationally, a wide range of research projects, strategic plans and planning guides, prepared by and for government authorities and not-for-profit agencies, attests to an increasing demand for well integrated and high quality greenspace in urban regions (Veal, 2009). Recent Australian work has ranged from evaluating the adequacy of standards of provision for the compact city (Byrne and Sipe 2010; Searle, 2011) to considering the contribution of regional open space to metropolitan form and quality of life (Dooley and Pilgrim, 2010; Low Choy, 2010). Greenspace is vital to the character and amenity of Sydney yet can fly under the radar when other seemingly more pressing issues such as employment, transport and housing dominate contemporary discourse (Freestone et al 2006). Metropolitan Sydney is well endowed with greenspaces which in aggregate comprise approximately 630,000 hectares or 49% of the total land area (NSW DoP 2005). These greenspaces vary widely in type, program, administrative structure and size. They include the extensive and iconic national parks which rim and punctuate the built-up area, three botanic gardens, many sporting grounds and diverse, small pockets of bushland. Nor is Sydney plagued by issues of limited accessibility: 91% of residents live within walking distance (5-10 minutes) to a greenspace; the same percentage is less than a 30 minute drive to a large regional greenspace (NSW DoP 2005).
