Informed & aware communities
Management outcomes

Amenity
Accessibility
Cultural heritage
Changes to the social state impacting:
Awareness, skills

Project Objectives
Indices for the site’s capacity to support activityRecreation Capacity Index and/or Cultural and Heritage Capacity Index
An increase suggests potential for enhanced activity (through improved condition of the physical resources supporting such use)
A maximum score is not the aim. Indicators and their trajectory recognise a site’s unique context

Recreation Capacity Index
Two measures and 5-point ratings for components:On and In Water = Rec fishing, non-motor boating, motor boating, swimming,
camping*Beside Water = Tracks, sightseeing, picnics and barbecues, hunting, environmental volunteering
Index is the sum of the activity metrics as a

New Metric – Environmental volunteering
Value Score
Descriptor
5
Multiple (>3), active community groups and networks* regularly contribute to maintaining or improving the site OR 80-100% of the ‘target audience’** are consistently engaged in environmental activity across the site
4
2-3 active community groups and networks often contribute to maintaining or improving the site OR 60-80% of the ‘target audience’ are consistently engaged in environmental activity across the site
3
One active community volunteer group or network contributes to maintaining or improving site condition OR 40-60% of the ‘target audience’ are consistently engaged in environmental activity across the site
2
Informal community group or network present
OR
20-40% of the ‘target audience’ are consistently engaged in environmental activity across the site
1
Community group present but have not undertaken any significant group activities or projects on the site OR
<20
% of the ‘target audience’ are consistently engaged in environmental activity across the site
0
No community group present or ‘target audience’ activity
*
Both on-ground works and monitoring, funded and unfunded. Fluker posts would count as one ‘group’ given they encourage community-based environmental monitoring
