5 Aims of POS Tool 1. To develop a web-based geospatial tool that provides the opportunity to visualise and analyse the spatial distribution of POS, Parks and Park Facilities in Perth and Peel Region 2. Support planning decisions and research by providing new data on POS, Parks and Park facilities Project Funded By:

6 Overview 1. Development of POS Tool Definitions POS Park Classification systems 2. Overview the POS Tool Functions and Outputs 3. Show how you can use the data: Example LGA 4. Forthcoming advanced functions 5. Preview some Perth/Peel Metro data - hot off the press

7 Definition of Public Open Space (POS) For this work public open space has been used as an overarching concept that refers to: All land reserved for the provision of green space and natural environments (e.g. parks, reserves, bushland) that is freely accessible and intended for use for recreation purposes (active or passive) by the general public.

8 Steps in creating the POS data layer

9 Steps in creating the POS data layer Sourced and combined the following existing digital data layers to create a draft set of base polygons 2011 spatial cadastre database (Western Australian Land Information Authority/Landgate) Vesting reserve report (Western Australian Land Information Authority/Landgate) Land use classification using PLUC codes 51, 52 and 6 Valuer General s Office (VGO) information linked with cadastral and Town Planning Scheme (TPS) data. Geocoded locations of all primary, secondary and tertiary school Each polygon was visually inspected using digital orthophotography (obtained from Landgate) classified into one of four categories PLUC Codes 51, 52, and 6: Public Open Space, Sporting infrastructure, primary/rural (includes extractive industries, farming and conservation areas)

10 Classification Decision Tree for POS

11 Classification Decision Tree for POS

12 Four Categories of Public Open Space 1. Parks 2. Natural or conservation areas 3. School grounds 4. Residual green spaces

13

14 Classification Systems for Parks

15 It s not just about size The good, the bad and the ugly.

16 Park Facilities: Audit using POSTDAT * Sports and recreation Pets Nature General Amenities Activity Spaces: Tennis Soccer Football (AFL) Netball or basketball courts Cricket Baseball Hockey Athletics Rugby Other Skateboarding / BMX Dogs Are dogs allowed On river or foreshore Adjacent to bushland Water Features: Lake or Pond Water fountain Stream Wetlands Other Features: Waterbirds / Wildlife Gardens Trees Number / Placement Paths yes/no / shade Barbeque facilities Seating Public Toilets Public art Car parking Lighting along paths Lighting around courts, buildings, BBQs or equipment Childrens playground Play equipment shade Reticulated grass * Edwards et al. Development of a Desktop Auditing Public Open Space Tool (POST): POSDAT. Applied Geography, 2013: 38: The POSDAT available at:

17 POS Tool: Scope and Scale Coverage Perth Metro and Peel Region 32 Local Government Areas (not Waroona) 398 suburbs POS data layer includes: 3813 Parks 1860 Natural 771 Residual 820 Schools 7680 Total

18 POS Tool: available at

19 What can you do? 1. Search by Address: Enter an address to find the 5 closest parks 2. Search by Park Name: Search for a particular park to find information on facilities 3. Search by Suburb or Local Government Area: Search by suburb or local government area to get summary statistics on the number and types of POS and park facilities

20 Search by Street Address

21 Search by Address: Results

22 Search by Park Name

23 Search by Park Name: Results

24 Search by LGA

25 Search LGA: Results Provides number and area: - by POS type - by Park type

26 Search by LGA: Results..

27 So, how can I use these data in an LGA?

28 Number of POS POS by Type: Example LGA Parks Natural Residual Green Spaces School Grounds

29 Area (ha) POS Area by Type: Example LGA Parks Natural Residual Green SpacesSchool Grounds

30 Number Parks by Type: Example LGA 90 Total number of parks = Pocket (0 0.29ha) Small Neigh ( ha) Medium Neigh ( ha) Large Neigh 1 ( ha) Large Neigh 2 ( ha) District 1 ( ha) District 2 ( ha) Regional (> 15 ha) POS Tool park classification

31 Number Parks by Type: Example LGA - DSR Classification 90 Total number of parks = Pocket (0 0.39ha) Local ( ha) Neighbourhood ( ha) District ( ha) DSR Open Space Classification Framework Regional (20+ ha)

32 Area (ha) Parks Area by Type: Example LGA Total park area = ha Pocket (0 0.39ha) Local ( ha) Neighbourhood ( ha) District ( ha) DSR Open Space Classification Framework Regional (20+ ha)

33 Park Catchment Definition: the % of the population of an LGA within the specified park service area (defined by distance) Catchment Population: computed for all ages; for sub populations e.g. by age groups 0-4; 5-14; 15-19; 20-24; 25-34, etc Data Source: Population data obtained from the ABS 2011 Data Packs and used at SA1 geographic level (the smallest spatial unit relevant population data is collected)

34 Park Catchment: Distances by park type DSR Open Space DSR catchment Local park (0.4-1 ha) 400m / 5 min walk Neighbourhood Park (1-5 ha) 800m / 10 min walk District Park (5-20 ha) 2km / 5 minute drive Regional Open Space (20+ ha) 5km (POS Tool applied)

35 Search LGA: Results on Park Catchment

36 % total LGA population Catchment by Park Type: total population Any Park Catchment Pocket (0 0.39ha) 300m Local ( ha) 400m Neighbourhood ( ha) 800m District ( ha) 2km DSR Open Space Classification Framework Regional (20+ ha) 5km

37 PARK FUNCTION AND QUALITY WHAT FACILITIES DO PARKS CONTAIN?

38 Number of parks Number of parks* with specific facilities: LGA (n=218*) Playgrounds BBQs Toilets Picnic tables Lighting around amenities Water feature (lake / pond) * Includes all park categories except Regional Open Space

39 Number of parks Number of parks with specific sporting facilities: LGA Any Sports Tennis Soccer Footbal (AFL) Netball or Basketball Cricket Baseball Hockey Athletics Rugby Fitness Equipment

40 In Summary: POS Tool provides you with access to data to summarise a suburb or LGA by POS type and area Parks number, area, by type Catchment (access) Amenities Some combinations of amenities by type and catchment are not possible contact CBEH Please visit POS Tool:

41 Forthcoming Advanced Features 1. Define your own area of interest Draw or upload your own area of interest and generate POS statistics 2. Scenario testing: Model change in population and/or POS Alter the population statistics to scenario test the impact of population growth on current provision of parks and requirements for park amenities 3. Upload geocoded point of interest and Upload your own geocoded points (of houses, schools, places of interest) and create catchments and generate POS statistics

42 Scenario testing: Model change in population and/or POS Adjustment Tool Vary the parameters Total Population 1527 Park Area All (ha) Facilities Pocket Park 10.2 Tennis 6 May S.

Nbourhood Park 14.6 Fitness Circuit L Nbourhood Park Hockey L Nbourhood Park Athletics District Park 1 0 Rugby District Park 2 0 Skate Park Regional Park 45.4 Playground Playground Shade Playground Fenced 8 Over Paid Sporting Facility 5

43 In conclusion POS Tool is now on line (beta testing): we look forward to feedback and request your patience with glitches! Report on POS in Perth: due later this year; invite and welcome potential partnership on this output get it touch. Advanced Features: due within 1-2 months; notification will be circulated Future Plans: invite partnership on updating POS/Park data; adding functions; developing and applying POS tool
