Mosman Council is involving the community by releasing the Draft Management of Open Space Policy for review after its recent decision on 3 October 2023.

This draft policy keeps things simple, combining four existing policies: Temporary Access to Private Property Across Council Reserves, Donation of Memorial Seats, Foreshore Reserves – Encroachments, and the Parks and Garden Policy.

The main goals for open spaces are clear:

  • Keep Mosman’s open spaces safe and well-maintained.
  • Allow relaxed outdoor activities, with active ones needing Council approval.
  • Protect and enhance special natural, scientific, historical, cultural, or aesthetic areas.
  • Deal with extra activities in open spaces.
  • Keep public lands public.

Share your thoughts until 30 November 2023 to help shape the policy. The Council will review your feedback in early 2024.
