Executive Summary
Sembawang of Singapore - Global Project Underwriters (A
Punj Lloyd Company) has proposed a $4.9 billion mixed-use
development within the Gold Coast’s Broadwater. The proposal,
Wavebreak, includes a cruise ship terminal, superyacht berths,
marina, hotels and apartments, casino, retail and commercial
space, public parklands and flora and fauna habitat.
The mixed-use development is proposed atop future
reclaimed land west of the existing man-made Wavebreak
Island. The proposal’s cruise ship terminal component would
be located at the northern side of the existing island and a
‘Fishermen’s Wharf’-style precinct located to the south.
Findings
During a four week consultation period ending Friday 31
August, the consultation team recorded 3,101 visits to the
project website and 990 feedback responses, comprising:
•
852completedonlinefeedbackresponses
•
138phonecalls
Key findings from the online survey included:
•
76.5%ofrespondentssupportedtheWavebreak

The intent of the consultation process was to determine
whether there was discernible community support for the
Wavebreak concept for Sembawang to commit to a future
application process.
•
morethanthree-quartersofrespondents‘strongly

Feedback platforms included an online survey, embedded
within the project website, and a toll-free phone line. The
website and phone line were promoted via advertisements
and media articles.
•
morethanthree-quartersofrespondentssupported
specific features of the Wavebreak proposal, including
the creation of a Fishermen’s Wharf-style precinct and
dry-access to the existing parkland and beach
Sembawang focused on a consultation process that was
open and inclusive. Statistical models of sampling - whereby
the consultation process would be restricted to selected
subsets of the population - were avoided to allow everyone
interested in the multi-use proposal, a cruise ship terminal, the
Broadwater and Wavebreak Island, to have their say.

Phone callers in support of the Wavebreak proposal referred to
it as being ‘fantastic’; believed it would enable the Gold Coast
to attract the cruise ship industry; and that it should have been
completed previously.
Phone callers in opposition criticised the potential
environmental impact of the proposal; indicated that it would

Respondents from
neighbouring suburbs
Large numbers of respondents resided in suburbs in proximity
to the Wavebreak proposal. The top five suburbs, in terms
of participation, were Southport, Runaway Bay, Labrador,
Biggera Waters and Surfers Paradise.
The level of opposition and support for cruise ship facilities
and the Wavebreak proposal from residents in proximity to the
Wavebreak proposal was comparable to the support from the
wider sample.
Conclusion
Nine-hundred and ninety feedback responses can be
considered a credible result. The level of participation would
be considered acceptable for a major infrastructure project on
the Gold Coast. By way of comparison, if 990 respondents
were selected via statistically valid means throughout the city,

Overall, there was discernible support from respondents
for the proposal, indicated through the online survey and

Supporters commonly believed the proposal would heighten
the city’s tourism potential.
Opponents believed it would largely cause environmental and
ecological damage.
Therewasadequatepromotionoftheconsultationprocess
through major media outlets and the feedback platforms were

Following on from the inclusive community consultation process,
targeted stakeholder engagement activities should be considered
as part of any future progression of the proposal.
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project background
Sembawang of Singapore - Global Project Underwriters (A
Punj Lloyd company) unveiled its proposal for the $4.9 billion
Wavebreak mixed-use development proposal on 27 July, 2012.
The proposal is multi-faceted including a cruise ship terminal,
superyacht berths, marina, hotels and apartments, casino,
retail and commercial space, public parklands and flora and
fauna habitat.
Sembawang, as the proponent, assembled a project team
including Desmond Brooks Architects, ARUP and Urban
Planning Services for the planning and design of the proposal.
The existing island was created to protect the Broadwater’s
western shore from seas created by the Gold Coast Seaway,
constructedin1986.
The proposal focuses on predominantly on future reclaimed
land to the west of the existing man-made Wavebreak Island.
The Wavebreak proposal would locate two cruise ship docks,
catering for vessels up to 300 metre in length, on the northern
side of the existing island. On the southern side of the island, a
‘Fishermen’s Wharf’-style precinct would be created. It would
also include moorings for prawn trawlers. The proposal would
also open up 37ha of parkland - currently only accessible by
watercraft - to the wider community, as well as the island’s
east facing beach.
A new bridge connecting to the intersection of Brisbane Road
would provide road access to the new proposal.
The concept of a cruise ship terminal has previously been
mooted within the Broadwater. The last major investigation, for
a cruise ship terminal being built inside the Broadwater at The
Spitwasdismissedin2006bytheStateGovernment.
1.2 Objectives of the consultation
Sembawang publicly communicated that general community
support was integral to the company progressing the
necessary plans for the Wavebreak proposal.
At the time the consultation process began, the proposal was
conceptual in nature. Planning and design had not progressed
to the level to address anticipated impacts - for instance,
environmental or traffic.
The primary objectives of the consultation process were to:
The detailed design relevant development conditions for
the proposal would be developed following the consultation
process and the public mandate sought by the proponent to
progress the proposal.
•
promoteawarenessandthespecificsoftheWavebreak
proposal
•
gatherquantitativeandqualitativeresponsesto
understand community perceptions of the immediate
area
•
findoutwhetherthecommunitywantedtheWavebreak
proposal to be developed
Secondary objectives were to determine whether the
community favoured specific components of the Wavebreak
proposal; whether they had a connection with the existing
Wavebreak Island; and whether they believed the proposal’s
economic generators - employment and direct spending were important to the wider Gold Coast economy.

2.0 Consultation process
2.1 Approach
Sembawang’s proposal for Wavebreak was publicly unveiled
on Friday 27 July, 2012.
Sembawang wanted the community consultation process to
be open and inclusive. As an initial consultation, Sembawang
wanted everyone who had an interest in its multi-use
development proposal, a cruise ship terminal or the existing
Wavebreak Island and Broadwater generally, the chance to
have their say.
As per the framework created by the International Association
for Public Participation (see Table 1 below Sembawang
sought to ‘Consult’ with the wider community. Sembawang
appreciated that many people would like to have their say
on the proposal and providing accessible opportunities for
feedback was essential.

2.2 Promotion of the project and consultation process
Sembawang chose to unveil the project on a Friday ahead of
the peak in the weekly media cycle. Media audits traditionally
highlight Saturday and Sunday as the highest circulation days
for mainstream newspapers.
A press conference unveiling the proposal was held on Friday
27 July, 2012 on the top floor of the Atrium Resort, Labrador,
overlooking the development site. The media conference
achieved significant coverage. (See Appendix)

Open-ended responses from supporters of the Wavebreak proposal
COMMON THEMES
EXTRACTS OF SAMPLE RESPONSES
General support for the
Wavebreak proposal
“About time someone is wanting to do something positive on the Gold Coast in today’s market that
has a excellent outcome. We support your project fully an trust the Gold Coast City Council & State
Government do as well.”
“Great idea. Change can be a threatening thing to some but unless the Gold Coast is willing to think
big we will be left languishing behind other tourist destinations and there will be the continuation of
patchy small projects here and there that have no overall impact on things. This marina would create
huge opportunities for the entire region so it seems a no brainer really if you want to see a dynamic and
progress region on the international map rather than a sunny piss up place for bogens and their kids.”
“The proposal put forward by Sembawang is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Gold Coast to
capture and enhance all that it has to offer to visitors and its residents. This is the most sensible
proposal that has been put forward & I feel that if this in not approved and built then we will be going
backwards in lack of development, opportunities for investment and attracting more visitors to this
partoftheworld.Thegovernment,bothState&Federallymustbackthis100%,especiallybecause
there is no monetary involvement to be placed on them.”
General support for
cruise ship facilities
“IhavecruisedquitealotandthinktheideaofacruiseterminalontheGoldCoastwouldbe
wonderful. There is so much to see and do in the Gold Coast area, a cruise port here would give
tourists great opportunities to experience a delightful area, and let the area benefit enormously
economically.”
“I totally support a cruise ship terminal and all that goes with it as the Gold Coast needs to attract
more visitors. It would also give more people in Queensland the opportunity to “go cruising” with
more options.”
“I have cruised to many destinations around the world and have always taken an interest in the ports
of call and the cruise terminals we have called at. Some of the smallest cities have built wonderful
cruise terminals and as a result their inbound tourism numbers have increased tenfold soley due
to an efficient and large cruise terminal to cater for all sizes of ships from the various shipping
companies that sail the seas.”
The tourism potential
the proposal provided
“We cannot compete with the big world without a major attraction - there is lots of nice beaches all
over the world to choose from. Bring it on!”
“The Proposal For The Development Of Wavebreak Island Would Be In Keeping With The Standard
Of What Holiday Visiters Expect Coming To Australia’s No.I Tourist Destination. This, Combined With
An International Berthing Facility For The Ever Increasing Fleet Of Cruise Vessels Now Passing By
The Gold Coast Would Not Only Boost The Employment Figures But Would Put Untold Millions Of
Dollars Back Into The Local Economy.”
“The position will allow visitors easy access to Surfers Paradise via bus or water taxi, beaches,
Harbourtownshopping,Movie/Dreamworld...themeparks.Daytripstothehinterland,plusrecreational
activities, such as surfing off Straddie, Jet Ski rides, diving, canoe tours... Currently the Gold Coast is in
a holding pattern, with nothing new to attract visitors. The Gold Coast has always been a tourist city and
with the growth of the Cruise Ship industry, it would be detromental for the Gold Coast not to share in
that tourist market. If we do not seize the oppurtunity, I am sure another place will.”

Open-ended responses from supporters of the Wavebreak proposal
COMMON THEMES
EXTRACTS OF SAMPLE RESPONSES
The need to embrace
employment
opportunities
“really wish the project would start ASAP the coast could really do with this construction”
“The Gold Coast needs this developement to go ahead, it needs investment to be a major tourism
destination, as the Gold Coast is not in good shape we all know this, high unemployment & high
crime rates are the result of,our poor economy.”
“The lack of employment prospects on the GC has already lead to one of our kids to move away,
and another is likely to follow soon. There are many other GC families in the same situation as us.
We urgently need projects which will stabilise, and eventually grow, the GC employment market.”
The desire to start
the project as soon
as possible, and
have it ready for the
Commonwealth Games
“The proposal is fantastic and an absolute must to go ahead. The sooner the better!”
A belief that the ‘vocal
minority’ often dictated
decisions about the city
“I believe the Gold Coast does need something of this nature to allow it to compete with other
locations world wide as well as those in Australia. Regardless of the Global downturn, developments
of this nature if well planned and executed are necessary and far more beneficial to the community
as a whole. I feel saddened that a small and very vocal minority group of people can have such a
huge effect in whether or not developments of this type actually occur. I believe many of them have
never been to the area, let alone visited the opposite shore line (The Spit) by road.”
“Please please please make this happen, what a win for the Gold Coast this would be and also an
amazing advertisement and showcase for the Commonwealth Games!”
“I visit the current wavebreak in my boat and it is a good place, however it will be even more
interesting and offer more benefits to the community with the development. The gold Coast needs
a cruise ship terminal and the associated financial benefits. This will elevate the Gold Coast in the
list of new tourist attractions and hopefully it will be completed prior to the Commonwealth Games.
With the new government and their positive outlook to tourism and development, this will be a real
benefit to every Queenslander an Australian.”
“There will always be some people who oppose any new development like this, on any grounds they

protest. The Gold Coast needs this in order to mature and develop as a prime holiday destination.”
“As one of the” silent majority” it is now time not to be silent anymore. Too many individual vested
interests have dictated on the coast too the detriment of the community.”

The impact the
proposal would have
on the environment and
ecology
“This is an environmentally sensitive area that we as gold coasters pride on having at our doorstep. A
developmentlikethiswillundoubtedlyimpactwithsignificantfactorssuchas:-1/Theseawayishometo
anabundanceoflivingseacreaturesthatwillhavetorelocatedduetohugedestructionoftherehabitat.2/
When will the first large vessel run aground and loose a tank load of diesel or waste in our water.”
“The shallows around Wavebreak have become important habitat for fish breeding in the sea grass beds.”
“This development will result in a substantial loss of important seagrass habitats which; supports a
diversity of commercially and recreationally important juvenile fish and prawn species; migratory and
residential birds and provides food for threatened dugongs and turtle populations which reside in the
broadwater. Dredging to provide access for Cruise ships will smoother this exceptionally important
habitat type and may adversly affect both tourism and fishing industry on the Gold Coast over the
short and long term.”
The proposal was the
wrong site for a cruise
ship terminal
“The Gold Coast is over developed already. Keep the area natural. Cruise ship terminal should be off
shore as to not impact on the Broadwater.”
“It is rare in any city to have this natural resource so close to the heart of a city- Surfers Paradise.
It gives gold coast residents the beauty of an untouched beach and bushland within minutes drive
from a city of skyscrapers. When you stand on the beach on the Spit you see them in the distance
and it looks awesome but you don’t want to be standing amongst them. To distrupt this ecosystem
with more high rise and commercial precincts would be criminal.”
“Wouldn’t it be more favourable to build such a facility on the inside of South Straddie at Brown island
with an articficial isthmus providing sea access? Vehicluar traffic could then be directed by way of
bridges/tunnelsvialowerCoomeraIsland&JabiruIslandtotheOxenford-Southportarterialroadway
alleviating the current abyssmal traffic congestions around the Broadwater. Another railway station
could then be created between Helensvale & Coomera with light rail access to the Shipping Terminal.”
The cost of dredging
and associated impacts
“Whowillpayfordredging?Asat10/8/2012thedredgethatworksinBroadwaterhasbeenat
Mooloolaba for some time. At low tide there is a build up of pressure waves across southern side
(Nerang Head) this is dangerous how do you propose to stop this happening.”
“I am more concerned about the constant dredging that will be needed. The moving sediments and
turbidity that it will create will not be good for the broadwater. Dramatically widening and deepening
the Seaway will have a huge impact on tidal flows throughout the Broadwater which will eventually
result in a change to fish habitats as we know them now. Deep holes will fill with sand and other
areaswilldigoutandformdeepholes.Sandbars/bankswillprobablymoveduetoachangeintidal
flow,weed beds could possibly die off from siltation and a whole host of problems can occur or change
once they open up the Seaway. Changing the Seaway rock walls could also change the inshore
currents and sand movements along the beach which could in turn have a huge impact on the SPB.”
“I believe there will be ongoing costs to the Gold Coast rate payers in keeping the broadwater
depths to allow ships in.”

General opposition to
the concept
“The Gold Coast is plastic enough as it is, we don’t need a cruise ship terminal and an extra casino.
Thecoasthasabadrepofbeingtoosuperficialandwithoutitsownuniquecharacter....Ithinkwhen
people see this they will think ‘that’s the last straw’ and either boycott or not bother to visit. The Coast
is known for its integration of a liveable city into a natural landscape, PLEASE keep it that way.”
“Just Leave It Alone And Keep It Natural And Untouched The Area Is Too Small For Such A Large
Development Why Do We Have To Ruin Every Piece Of Natural Spare Space That We Have Just For
The Almighty Dollar As It Is We Have Already Ruined Parts Of Our Beautiful Gold Coast.”
“Believe it or not, Australians don’t like themed tourism facilities and artificial environments like
thepoortragicrelicsofthe1980seraofgreed,theGoldCoastbeingatragicexampleofthis
greedy developer mentality in what was a pristine environment 100 years ago. The Gold Coast will
be exposed to increasing hazards in the future, such as erosion, sea level rise and pollution, and
whatever last remaining areas even those that were originally man made such as wavebreak island
butwhichnowprovidevaluablehabitat,arerequiredtobuildresilienceinthefaceofthesethreats.
This development is profoundly disgusting and incredibly ugly.”
Concerns about the
impact of the proposal
on recreational pursuits
“stop trying to ruin south stradbroke island surfing!!!”
“Your talking about all the jobs what will be made available what about all the jobs and small business
owners which will have to close down if this goes ahead for example scuba diving shops which use
wave break and the spit to conduct dives lessons and courses boat hire company’s will go broke
because wave break tends to be where everyone takes them for family picnics and what ever else.”
“There are a lot of people who use this island for weekend boating trips, camping, fishing..... if this
development go’s ahead they will no longer be able use this area anymore and wave break is the only
island in the southern part of the bay with protection from almost every wind direction, most of all the
north side of wave break protected from the southeast trade wind it’s hands down the best beach on
the Broadwater in south weather, so if that’s not there anymore we will have no where to go boating that
offers this type of protection from the wind and that being said you might have a fight on ya hands....”
Claims that the
consultation process
was biased, and
deliberately excluded
environmental
considerations
“Itstotalyanenvironmentalissues,notonequestionwasaskedaboutenvironmentconcerns.It
seems that there is going to be no balance between what matters the most which is the environment
against profit. Sure it would be great for this project, it actually sounds exciting BUT not as a cost in
destroying our true locals which are the marine animals.”
“Thissurveydoesn’tasktherealquestions.Weneedtoleavethebroadwateralone.Onceit
has been changed, it’s gone forever. You mention ‘no cost to the community’ , I disagree.
Development in the broadwater will affect the environment as well as the way the existing community
use a cherish the broadwater.”
“Perhaps you should include in your survey “Do you agree to the introduction of potential
contaminants which are part and parcel of any shipping industry” and “Do you think the transport
system is able to cope with the influx of tourists, residents and others involved in the Wavebreak
project?” - after all, it cannot cope at present!”

Press Release
27 July 2012
Singapore's largest engineering and construction
firm unveils $4.9bn vision for the Gold Coast
Gold Coast, Australia: The company responsible for some of the world’s most iconic developments,
Sembawang of Singapore - Global Project Underwriters Limited (Sembawang), today unveiled a
proposal to independently fund a $4.9 billion cruise ship, residential, marine and tourist precinct on
the Gold Coast's Broadwater.
The world-class destination, to be called Wavebreak, could be delivered ahead of the 2018
Commonwealth Games. It is proposed to accommodate two cruise ship terminals, 12 superyacht
berths, a 400 berth marina and Fisherman's Wharf-style trawler centre among its marine
infrastructure.
Tourism facilities including 1500 hotel rooms - from four to six stars - an aquarium, theatre and casino
are also proposed. The project would be one of the largest undertaken on Australia’s Eastern
Seaboard and its proponents say it would provide a substantial economic boost to the Gold Coast and
Queensland.
It will also be a thriving community providing apartments, shopping and dining facilities and 'dry'
access to Wavebreak Island's parkland and east-facing beach.
The cruise ship terminal will be located on the north end of Wavebreak Island, with the majority of the
remaining 37 hectares of man-made island protected as parkland. The majority of the development
would be established on the western side of Wavebreak Island and separated by a navigable
waterway. Tourism, marine and residential facilities will be housed on reclaimed land west of
Wavebreak Island, and accessed via a new bridge to Brisbane Road.
Economic projections indicate Wavebreak would generate approximately 19,000 positions for the
construction sector. The cruise industry alone would bring an additional 264,500 visitors to the Gold
Coast by 2018, increasing to an additional 913,000 in 2031.
Wavebreak would add to Sembawang's portfolio of signature international projects including Jumeirah
Island Villas in Dubai and the Marina Bay Sands Resort in Singapore. Wavebreak would add to
Sembawang's seaport and terminal experience, with the company previously delivering Singapore's
first centralised multi-utility facility.
Company President and CEO, Mr Ric Grosvenor, said if approved the proposed development would
be 'world-class' and heighten interest in the Gold Coast and Queensland internationally. He said the
company was finalising its plans so that it could be lodged and formally considered.
"Sembawang is pleased to unveil the initial plans for Wavebreak, which is a vision for a world-class
destination,'' said Mr Grosvenor.
"The cruise ship terminal will allow the Gold Coast and Queensland to better cater for the region's
cruise ship industry.
"But first and foremost, Wavebreak will serve the Gold Coast community. There will be a rich mix of
leisure and recreational facilities, parklands and swimming areas open to the public, helping cater for
significant population growth forecast over coming decades. “People can come and have a picnic on
the foreshore with their fish and chips or they can choose sophisticated waterfront dining. “They can
shop, they can arrive by boat and moor, they can stay for a holiday or they can stay for life in one of
the residential precincts.
"Sembawang also recognises the importance of the Broadwater to recreational boating on the Gold
Coast and is committed to improving the access, safety and navigational ease of this channel. To this
end, the design team is considering a range of options to ensure recreational boating activities can be
accommodated in a sheltered area of the Broadwater.
"The company is well-positioned to deliver Wavebreak and make a significant investment in the Gold
Coast and Queensland economies at the same time, at no cost to local or state governments. The
aim is for the eventual owners and operators of facilities to cater for ongoing costs where
appropriate.''
Mr Grosvenor said the proposed project would need to be approved by all relevant authorities
including Local , State and Federal Governments and agencies. The scope and nature of this project
means it will require dedicated State government legislation to become reality.
“It is early days as yet, but we are confident this proposal can tick all the relevant boxes,” he said.
Wavebreak is proposed to include:

a two berth cruise ship terminal (vessels up to
300m in length could access the Seaway)

a super yacht marina (12+ berths)

a marina (400 berths)

hotels (1,500 suites)

apartments

a casino

education and training facilities

public parklands (37ha)

a bridge to Brisbane Rd

an aquarium

retail space

a cultural centre

commercial space

theatre

prawn trawler moorings
The proponents are also proposing to repair damaged sections of the Seaway's southern wall and
offer new moorings for prawn trawler operators whom may be displaced by future plans for The Spit.
Mr Grosvenor said utilising the man-made Wavebreak Island for a cruise ship terminal, instead of the
nearby Spit, had always made sense.
"Indeed, the concept for a cruise ship terminal on Wavebreak Island was first originated in 1998,'' said
Mr Grosvenor. “We have had it on our list of possible projects to activate worldwide and it has
progressively risen to the top of that list. The time is now perfect to proceed.
"But reviving the concept to create a world-class, visionary project such as Wavebreak needed the
certainty and innovation of industry leaders, which is why Sembawang has brought together a team
including Desmond Brooks Architects (DBA), Urban Planning Services (UPS) and ARUP to deliver
the project.
“We have harnessed some of the best minds and talent worldwide to create something here on the
Gold Coast which will have State and national significance.”
As Master Architect for Southbank, Desmond Brooks brought his vision for Brisbane to reality and
changed the way the city relates to the river and its Parklands.
It is Desmond's and DBA’s passion for the Gold Coast (his home), that gave creation to this concept.
Desmond first brought the concept to Ric some 10 years ago - a client who shares his vision and
demands excellence in his creations.
This concept has the potential to bring the Gold Coast into the bright future it really deserves.
Timing is everything. In partnership with Ric, Sembawang and Queensland - the time is now.

A $4.9 BILLION
GAME CHANGER
SEMBAWANG OF SINGAPORE IS SEEKING YOUR FEEDBACK ON ITS PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP
THE GOLD COAST’S MOST SIGNIFICANT NEW COMMUNITY AND TOURISM PROJECT IN DECADES.
Unveiled on Friday, the proposal includes the
development of a cruise ship, marina, residential,
commercial and entertainment precinct, and
community parklands and facilities, on Wavebreak
Island within the Southport Broadwater.
Sembawang of Singapore - Global Project Underwriters,
is behind some of the world’s most iconic developments
of recent years and will create a major new international
tourism hub for the Gold Coast if plans released for the
first time last week are approved and meet with strong
community support.
Sembawang has been working on the plans with local firm
Desmond Brooks Architects (DBA) for the past 15 years
and believes now is the right time to kick start the project.
Sembawang want the community to look at this closely,
to familiarise themselves with it and to embrace it. If the
response is positive Sembawang will move forward - if the
public is against it, the company will move on.
Sembawang of Singapore President and CEO Ric Grosvenor
said the community would have plenty of opportunity to
voice its opinion and concerns. “I am sure we’ll be able to
address all the issues, but this has to be a win win for all
concerned and Sembawang wants the community behind it.”
Sembawang and DBA said the world class destination, to
be called Wavebreak, would be independently funded at no
cost to the City or the State and could be delivered ahead
of the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The project would be
a ‘game-changer’ for the Gold Coast - as one of the largest
tourism developments in Queensland, it would provide a
substantial economic boost for the City and the State.
“But first and foremost, Wavebreak will serve the Gold
Coast community,” said Mr Grosvenor. “What Sembawang is
proposing is much more than a cruise ship terminal.”
......................................................................................................................
“IT IS AN INTEGRATED TOURISM AND
RESIDENTIAL DESTINATION WHERE
PEOPLE CAN LIVE, WORK, HOLIDAY,
PLAY AND ENJOY LIFE UNDER THE
QUEENSLAND SUN.”
......................................................................................................................
“The project team also recognises the importance of the
Broadwater to recreational boating on the Gold Coast
and is committed to improving the access, safety and
navigational ease of this channel.”
The cruise ship terminal will be located on the north end
of Wavebreak Island, with the majority of the remaining
37 hectares of man-made island to be totally protected as
parkland for the enjoyment of the local community and
visitors. The development will be primarily established
