The City of Marion presents the Open Space Framework 2024 - 2034, a comprehensive plan designed to promote a healthy city and community by improving recreation opportunities and natural environments. This framework guides the development and maintenance of green spaces, ensuring they meet the needs of all residents now and into the future.
This framework focuses on achieving an equitable distribution of appealing and functional open spaces throughout the City of Marion's six wards. It incorporates a needs-based assessment to prioritize projects and upgrades, including playgrounds and reserves. Community engagement is a key component, with opportunities to provide feedback when local open spaces are due for upgrades.
The framework consists of several key documents: Open Space Policy, Methodology, Service Levels, and the Open Space Plan. These outline how upgrades are determined, the standards for maintenance, and the process for community consultation. A mid-plan review is scheduled for 2028 to ensure the framework continues to meet community needs effectively.
The Open Space Framework applies city-wide across all wards in the City of Marion. Residents can identify their local reserves and playgrounds by ward or by searching the Open Space Plan documents. The City encourages community members to contact Customer Service to report maintenance needs or concerns about local open spaces.
The framework ensures that playground upgrades are considered within the context of the entire reserve. Funding allocations are made in consideration of the Annual Business Plan, with benchmarks guiding expenditure. The City maintains assets until upgrades can be implemented and commits to ongoing community consultation throughout the process.
This is a community planning framework and does not require bookings or fees. Residents interested in obtaining a hard copy of the plan or providing feedback can contact the City of Marion via phone or email. Community involvement is encouraged to help shape the future of local green spaces.
