NSW Government encourages residents to help shape the future of open spaces

The NSW Government is encouraging residents to help shape the future of open spaces with NSW Department of Planning and Environment’s Commissioner of Open Space Fiona Morrison inviting the community to provide its thoughts by completing the NSW Regional Outdoor Survey.

Minister Morrison notes “access to open space is incredibly important to the health and happiness of our communities. We want to know what is important to the people of NSW in their open spaces.

“Whether it be picnicking with friends and family, walking the dog, jogging, cycling, or just relaxing in the park, we want to hear how you access the great outdoors.”

“The results of this survey will help us understand the needs of the community and help plan for the future.”

Morrison said the survey takes a few minutes to complete and adds “we appreciate communities know what they want and need in their local area.

“We hope to receive more than 10,000 responses from all corners of the state to help shape the future of NSW.”
