ACTGOV Urban Open Space Assets in Australian Capital Territory

ACT Government City Services maintains a polygon dataset of urban open space assets owned or managed by the City and Environment Directorate. Attributes include asset name, suburb, ownership, maintenance responsibility, and detailed asset sub-types like Community Recreational Irrigated Parks and Native Grassland Sites. The dataset is operational and not for legal boundaries, with data captured through works execution handover processes.

Use Cases

• Map and analyze the distribution of different park types based on asset sub-type attributes.
• Track land management responsibilities and ownership status for public open spaces.
• Assess the spatial coverage of urban green infrastructure like native grasslands and pedestrian parklands.
• Plan municipal infrastructure projects using operational asset boundaries and handover dates.

Strengths

• Detailed asset classification includes 13 distinct sub-types such as Community Recreational Irrigated Park and Learn to Ride Facility.
• Contains multiple land management categories, including native grassland/woodland and stormwater drainage areas.
• Data is maintained through a formal works-as-executed handover process, suggesting procedural rigor.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data shows operational areas and should not be used to define legal boundaries, limiting its use for precise boundary analysis.
