About the project

Open space and community facilities are buildings and land which have been designed and / or designated for recreational activities. This includes: 

• Parks and play spaces 
• Sportsgrounds and sports courts
• Showgrounds and equestrian facilities
• Aquatic, leisure, and indoor sports centres
• Skate parks and BMX tracks / pump tracks
• Public halls / Community centres
• Cultural buildings (libraries, galleries, museums, arts and craft buildings)
• Tourism Information Centres
• Community gardens 
• Specialised community buildings (such as scouts / girl guides clubs, youth clubs, men’s sheds)
• Foreshore and marine facilities (such as surf clubs, sailing clubs, jetties)
• Tracks, trails, and boardwalks
• Commercial / business / professional facilities (such as the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre and the Shoalhaven City Turf Club).

The current CISP was adopted in 2017 and is due for review. It is important that the CISP is reviewed regularly to ensure that the recommendations in the CISP are based on up-to-date population data and consider contemporary trends. 

The CISP Review is an action in Council’s Development Program and Operational Plan 2023/24 (DPOP) and is being led by the Open Space & Recreation Planning team within the City Lifestyles directorate.
