The National Park and the coast offer unique opportunities to plan for a future community with superb recreational opportunities. The management of the property should conform with a future land use plan that integrates the natural features and the human use of the area.

The area contains three separate settlements with a total of 3400 residents. This is a unique feature of the Study Area. Unlike other large development areas in the Corridor, there is the unusual advantage of an established community, with existing social and recreational infrastructure.

Not only does this mean that there is a base population with a mature range of age groups as a platform for near-term development, but this community deserves an agreed planning framework to organise future growth and service provision. The needs and views of the residents have been taken into account in the process of preparation of the Structure Plan.
