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:


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”


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.


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)

Steps in creating the POS data layer


Classification Decision Tree for POS


Classification Decision Tree for POS


Four Categories of Public Open Space

1. Parks

2. Natural or

conservation

areas

3. School grounds

4. Residual green

spaces



Classification Systems for Parks


It’s not just about size……

The good, the bad and the ugly……….

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

What can you do?

Parks Area by Type: Example LGA


• 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)

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: www.postool.com.au


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

Adjustment Tool

Vary the parameters


• 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
