Newcastle City's open space

The amount and the quality of the City’s open space, greenery, and other recreation facilities is crucial to its liveability, and the health and well-being of residents and visitors. These facilities provide areas for active and passive recreation as well as greenery and visual relief in the urban area. It is vitally important therefore that the City Council protects and improves the existing stock of open spaces, and requires the creation of new spaces associated with new development.城市开放空间、绿化植被及其他休闲设施的规模与品质，对城市宜居性以及居民与访客的健康福祉均至关重要。 此类设施可为城市区域提供动、静态休闲场所，同时兼具绿化景观与视觉舒缓功能。因此，市议会保护并优化现有开放空间存量，且要求新建开发项目配套建设新增开放空间，这一举措极为关键。
