Yes, if this is to truly be an urban place, the open space provision should be as efficient as possible and provide access to all residents and workers, and the spaces should be programmed at a district-wide level. Provisions of open space should be evaluated across the district and not on a parcel-by-parcel basis.

The open space provision should provide a wide variety of recreational opportunities, but it should not over provide inside the district, nor should it replicate recreational provisions that are easily accessed outside the district for the sake of variety. It needs to be planned in consideration of existing offerings as well as a distributed system across the district.

The development industry needs certainty, certainly at the point it embarks on attaining planning permission for a new development. It is not reasonable to have a policy position that could shift following the start of that design and planning process. Any advancing sustainable agenda should be clearly set against clear and transparent policy milestones.
