ACT Environment Directorate 2023 Contract Research: Blue-green spaces and urban ponds: A summary of existing surveys in the ACT to identify trends, gaps and future opportunities

This project aims to collate all past surveys conducted in the ACT, and put them in the context of the international literature. Together, this will provide an overview of existing understanding of community values with respect to blue green space in the ACT and identify gaps in knowledge which can help inform further research. In light of projected population growth in the ACT and urban planning, it will also inform the design of these areas to meet multiple community values to enhance health and well-being and identify which aspects of environmental degradation cause the most harm to the communities.
