It includes attributes such as asset name, suburb, ownership, asset sub-type, and land area, and is maintained by City Services. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-04.

Use Cases

• Map and analyze the distribution of park types based on the asset sub-type attribute.
• Assess land management responsibilities based on the ownership and maintained-by fields.
• Calculate total open space area per suburb using the land area attribute.
• Identify assets for maintenance planning based on operational area boundaries.

Strengths

• Detailed attribute schema includes 20+ fields like asset sub-type and land management category.
• Data is maintained through a formal works-as-executed handover process.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GPKG, GeoJSON, and REST API.

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.
