Objectives

1. Ensure the public open space network for the Elderslie Release Area addresses the recreational, aesthetic and natural systems of the area.
2. Ensure the functional requirements of these spaces accommodate sporting activities whilst creating memorable places that contribute to the legibility and character of the suburb.

Controls

1. The landscape plans for the Elderslie parks and open space network must refer to the Landscape Master Report dated December 2001 and prepared by Context Landscape Architects.
2. The design of the open space areas and riparian corridors with the existing bush remnants and proposed revegetation of Cumberland Plain Woodland must include a Management and Maintenance Plan. The Plan will identify short and long term management requirements and the associated costs including: rehabilitation and replanting methods: protection during construction requirements: weed and feral animal control: and a strategy to allow appropriate recreational use of the area.
3. Two sports grounds are to be provided within Elderslie Release Area (Kirkham Park).
