The development has been designed to coordinate with the
key values and attributes of the site. These are to be
integrated into the package and will become key elements
of the interpretive and educative services provided by the
site. Petrac believes that the use of significant landscape _

objectives of the DCP. Apart from the need to create a safe
node at the western end of Beach Road, Petrac believes that
