Page 134 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016

The planning, designing and delivering a range of open

space types across the municipality is delivered by a

range of departments within Frankton City Council.

The implementa! on of the open space strategy includes

further inves! ga! ons, planning and policy development,

opera! onal, renewal and maintenance programs,

partnership liaison or new and upgraded capital works

programs.

The following steps – detailed in Frankston City Council’s

Capital Works Framework – summarises the process

undertaken in designing and delivering integrated open

spaces:

Public Space and Leisure play a cri! cal role during the

project planning and delivery phases. Opportuni! es exist

to work collabora! vely with other Council departments,

other agencies and authori! es to share funding and

management responsibili! es, align strategic direc! ons

and increase benefi ts for the community.

3.3 Project scoping and prioritisation

3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Page 135 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016

Council intend that a detailed Open Space Asset

Management Plan be developed to implement new,

upgrade and renewal projects iden! fi ed in this strategy.

It iden! fi es specifi c projects to be implemented across

the municipality and neighbourhoods to meet our open

space objec! ves. The ! ming of ac! ons should be based

on priority and achievability, and categorised as:

Short term Within 5 years

Medium term Within 10 years

Long term Within 10 - 20 years

Service delivery and priori! sa! on is a complex

task, requiring mul! disciplinary co-opera! on and

partnerships. The open space priori! es in the capital

works program are subject to annual review and the

approvals process. They are subject to changes in the

alloca! on of resources, funding, council budgets, market

trends and partnership direc! on. Other unexpected

changes may impact the priori! sa! on and delivery of

open space.

Planning and policy development

In addi! on to physical works (either through capital

expenditure or maintenance programs), support for the

public open space network will occur through a variety of

planning and policy ini! a! ves, including the resolu! on

of Planning Scheme issues and the prepara! on of

master plans for higher-order parks and open spaces.

Some of these have been iden! fi ed in rela! on to the

broad strategic direc! ons, while others will be raised

through neighbourhood based improvements.

Funding open space

Several funding op! ons are available to support the

planning, development and management of open

space. The open space projects iden! fi ed in this

strategy include; the acquisi! on of land for new open

spaces as well as the upgrade to facili! es, design, and

management.

Funding sources diff er depending upon the func! on and

purpose of the open space. Diff erent combina! ons of

funding sources are available for the acquisi! on of new

open space, the upgrade of exis! ng open space, or the

management and maintenance of open space.

Circumstances will change over the life of this strategy,

with changes to the market rate of land acquisi! on, rate

funding, external grants, partnerships and collec! on of

developer open space contribu! ons.

Annual Council budgets vary, but annual funding for

open space, foreshore, unstructured and structured

recrea! on was broadly es! mated at $4,183,643 for

2013/2014 and $5,944.000 for 2014/2015. Other capital

works and opera! onal budgets include ini! a! ves for

maintenance programs, paths, major built form, public

toilets, roads, streetscape upgrades, habitat restora! on,

drainage infrastructure, sustainable water, ligh! ng and

street tree plan! ng. They are not a direct cost to open

space but improve the value of the open space network.

Council intends that the most appropriate funding

op! on be iden! fi ed to support the implementa! on of

the strategy, with further inves! ga! ons undertaken.

Cost estimates and the prioritised program

Criteria have been developed to assist Council to

develop a framework that will allow ac! ons in the Open

Space Strategy to be priori! sed (see priori! sed program

on following page). The criterion aims to priori! se

direc! ons so that Council can systema! cally develop an

open space network that off ers diversity and equity in

a range of se% ng across the municipality. The criteria

were weighted whereby each ac! on was scored. All

scores have then been mul! plied by the weigh! ng. The

sum of all scores for each ac! on provides a total score to

determine the ranking of each ac! on. The ranking of all

ac! ons within a neighbourhood will then be compared

to determine neighbourhood priori! es and across the

municipality to determine municipal wide priori! es.

New works and programs proposed to be funded by

Council will be assessed against all Council priori! es

through its annual budget process. Cost es! mates

noted within the priori! sed program are es! mates only

and the true costs may vary once more informa! on is

available. The majority of ac! ons will be met within

exis! ng budgets, while new works and programs will

only proceed once funding has been allocated and/or

obtained by Council.

Page 137 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016

Open space contributions and the Subdivision Act

1988

Frankston City Council currently collects open space

contribu! ons under the Subdivision Act 1988. Sec! on

18 of the act allows Council to collect a contribu! on

at the ! me of subdivision as a percentage rate of the

undeveloped land, either as a percentage of land area or

equivalent value as a cash contribu! on, or a mix of both.

Contribu! ons collected cannot be used for maintenance

of open space. Frankston City Council currently has no

schedule in the Frankston Planning Scheme, defaul! ng

to a 5 percent rate across the municipality.

The open space strategy has considered the use of

contribu! ons to meet the open space needs of future

popula! ons, with any contribu! on funds collected to be

spent on new land and capital works for new residents.

Open space strategy and how it informs contributions

The open space strategy considers; popula! on and

dwelling forecasts, changing housing trend for increased

density, less private open space and smaller household

sizes, and considers their impact upon the exis! ng use

and development of land within each neighbourhood.

Frankston City Council has iden! fi ed ac! vity centres,

structure plan areas, substan! al housing change areas,

and larger opportunity sites as loca! ons where new

residen! al and commercial growth is an! cipated.

In par! cular, substan! al residen! al and commercial

change is an! cipated within the Frankston Structure

Plan boundaries, and open space in this loca! on will

need to cater for increasing residen! al, worker and

visitor popula! ons. The demand for open space and

use of exis! ng open space will intensify in these higher

growth areas. In other loca! ons, natural residen! al

infi ll is an! cipated at varying intensi! es.

In these higher growth areas, open space contribu! ons

will be required to fund demand for new and expanded

open space, links, or the upgrade of exis! ng open space

to provide a range of facili! es to service the needs of

the new popula! on. Contribu! ons may generate all,

or only part of, the addi! onal open space needed in

neighbourhoods with a limited exis! ng supply.

In areas where exis! ng open space provision is adequate,

contribu! ons will fund the expansion and upgrade of

exis! ng open space facili! es. In addi! on, contribu! ons

may fund future open space opportuni! es in loca! ons

where exis! ng open space is constrained, or with limited

poten! al to meet the recrea! onal needs of residents.

3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Page 138 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016

Adjusting for changes in development

Open space recommenda! ons are linked to an! cipated

popula! on and housing change and growth may shi"

over ! me. Further inves! ga! ons are required following

the recent adop! on of the Frankston Structure Plan,

current review of the Municipal Strategic Statement

(MSS), likely development projec! ons for land use in

neighbourhood ac! vity centres, substan! al housing

change areas and opportunity sites.

It is recommended to undertake further inves! ga! ons

to iden! fy likely net dwelling numbers and an! cipated

worker popula! ons in areas of strategic redevelopment

over the short, medium and long term. The

implementa! on of open space projects located near

these loca! ons may need to be priori! sed in accordance

with the ! ming of the open space contribu! on collected.

Given the diff erences in forecast growth across the

municipality iden! fi ed in the Frankston Housing Strategy,

further planning inves! ga! ons are recommended

to support a review of the current contribu! on rate,

currently defaul! ng to 5 per cent across the municipality.

Reviews should iden! fy residen! al, non-residen! al and

likely scale of the development surrounding ac! vity

centres. This will inform future reviews of current open

space contribu! on method and rates to be% er align

with greater open space demand in these areas.

Developer contributions collected as land or cash

Legisla! on requires that open space contribu! ons

collected through the subdivision process must be used

for new open space or capital work improvements in

open space. Most subdivisions in Frankston City will be

expected to pay cash contribu! ons toward acquisi! on

and development of open space on behalf of the

forecast popula! on. Cash contribu! ons are likely to

only fund a propor! on of a projects funding, with the

diff erence derived from other funding sources.

Open space as land may only be needed in certain

loca! ons, and Council needs to be sa! sfi ed that there

will be a need for land as a result of the development.

Many development sites within Frankston are not large

in size, and the resul! ng land contribu! on would result

in small open spaces that do not meet recrea! onal

need. A limited number of subdivisions will be asked

to contribute land to achieve the strategic goals of

the open space strategy, the majority of which are in

Frankston, Carrum Downs and Langwarrin. The loca! on

and confi gura! on of any land contribu! on will be at

Council’s discre! on.

The strategy provides a strategic basis to amend a future

schedule of open space contribu! ons rates to include in

the Frankston Planning Scheme. Un! l the contribu! ons

schedule is amended, Council’s open space levy of 5

per cent land or cash contribu! ons will be at Council’s

discre! on, in accordance with the Subdivision Act 1988,

Frankston Planning Scheme and recommenda! ons of

open space strategy.

Management of contributions and cost apportioning

for new residents

It is important to ensure open space contribu! ons

are recorded, tracked and allocated towards the area,

project and popula! on the funds are intended to

benefi t.

Management of open space contribu! ons should

demonstrate a nexus between where the funds are

collected, whom they are being collected for, the loca! on

of the open space, purpose of the funds collected and

whom they are to benefi t.

Cost appor! oning for each open space project should

to be undertaken and the open space contribu! on

should represent a reasonable propor! on of the value

of the open space improvement on behalf of the future

popula! on.

3.5 Open space indicators

3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Page 139 Frankston City Open Space Strategy 2016 - 2036 Final V11 2016

Open space indicators are used to assess the

eff ec" veness in providing open space that meets the

needs of the community, without being excluded due to

economic or social condi" ons.

Open space indicators need to be regularly measured

and easy to understand. For example; ‘open space per

neighbourhood’ measures the percentage of open space

area in the neighbourhood. This measure iden" fi es that

the local community has opportuni" es to visit areas of

public open space within their neighbourhood.

Data to measure open space indicators comes from

a variety of sources. Establishing a data source, data

collec" on and monitoring is important method of

measuring the success of the strategy over the long

term.

Many of the priori" es and ac" ons in this strategy will

take many years to complete. The following sec" on

includes open space indicators for Frankston City, with

20 year long term targets.

3.6 Monitoring and review

Regular monitoring of the Frankston City Open Space

Strategy should ensure that ac" ons are s" ll relevant,

priori" es are being addressed, and management

approaches and decisions are consistent with the vision

and proposed outcomes iden" fi ed in this strategy.

Implementa" on and monitoring of the Strategy is

the responsibility of the Public Space and Leisure

Department and will aim to:

• Monitor and assess the how the plan has been

implemented and the outcomes of the Strategy.

• Assess and annually report to Council on the

progress, unforeseen issues, success and failures of

the strategy against the measures of success.

• Establish a system of planning, documen" ng and

recording completed works.

• Review the Strategy every 4 years in collabora" on

with internal stakeholders. A review should take

into account any signifi cant policy or other changes

that have occurred over the life" me of the strategy.
