The purpose of the Open Space Landscape Infrastructure Manual (also referred to as the 'LIM') is to provide guidance during the design, development and delivery of council controlled open space. The LIM promotes quality, compliance and sustainability, which minimises ongoing maintenance and ensures longevity.
