The Town of Bassendean recognises the many social, economic, environmental and health benefits in providing the community with appropriately located, functional and attractive public open space (POS). These spaces play a fundamental role in increasing the liveability of the Town by providing recreational opportunities, conservation and environmental benefits, high amenity and venues for community interactions, events and programs.

The Town is currently responsible for the management of over 60ha of local open space (POS), including local parks, active playing fields and nature reserves. The Town also has an additional 83ha of regional open space reserved under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS), including the Swan River foreshore areas and Bassendean Oval.

The strategy will provide clear direction and a framework for the provision, development and management of open space within the Town of Bassendean. It highlights several key actions that will enable the delivery of an integrated POS network that enhances the quality of life for the community and recognises the associated challenges.
