	*Open space in Lincoln township performs several functions ~~from~~ managing stormwater (blue network), providing habitat (green network), an aesthetically pleasing place for recreation (social network) and linking key features (movement network). It also provides a transition between different land uses. These in turn help contribute to the community outcomes (goals for which the council is accountable).		*Open space in Lincoln township performs several functions including managing stormwater (blue network), providing habitat (green network), an aesthetically pleasing place for recreation (social network) and linking key features (movement network).
