Section 17A Review

Parks and Open Spaces Service Delivery

Xyst considered several options to determine the most cost-effective means of delivering open space services including:

  • fully outsourcing maintenance,
  • continuing with the current hybrid model (with or without changes), or
  • bringing the entire operation in-house.

Each option was considered against the principles of value for money, quality, responsiveness, and resilience and a range of recommendations were presented.
