Objective 11 Create opportunit<strong>ie</strong>s <strong>for</strong> cultural, social, community and passive and active leisure activit<strong>ie</strong>s<br />
that maximise the potential of the existing heritage and amenity.<br />
Scenario D partially compl<strong>ie</strong>s with Objective 11. As with Scenario C the ability to create a sense of place is<br />
somewhat limited because focus of population has shifted towards the railway line. Existing facilit<strong>ie</strong>s like<br />
Geraldine Park can be fully utilised with the bulk of new residential areas being located adjacent to it. This will<br />
aid the integrity of the local community. However in terms of the overall town, access to Geraldine Park from the<br />
west of the town is limited in terms of travel distance.<br />
