4.7.4 SUMMARY<br />

The following table summarises the open space provided by the UGP within the<br />

<strong>growth</strong> area (as defined by the Urban Growth Boundary). This conforms with the<br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Geelong</strong>’s Study <strong>of</strong> Open Space Networks, which states Council’s<br />

aim to achieve a minimum unencumbered open space contribution within the <strong>City</strong>’s<br />

<strong>growth</strong> areas <strong>of</strong> 10% <strong>of</strong> subdividable land (incorporating retention <strong>of</strong> positive<br />

features <strong>of</strong> existing landscape). The layout also ensures every home is within 800<br />

metres—or a comfortable 10 minute walk—<strong>of</strong> nature.<br />

Appendix G in Volume 5 provides an analysis <strong>of</strong> the provision <strong>of</strong> open space and<br />

recreation facilities against accepted benchmarks (most <strong>of</strong> which are outlined in the<br />

Community and Social/ Recreation and Open Space Technical Report).<br />
