REGIONAL
CONTEXT2.0 REGIONAL CONTEXT 2.0 Regional Context
Port Broughton is located approximately 174 kilometres north of the Adelaide CBD and is largely identified and defined as a seasonal holiday destination for visiting family members, recreational fishers and as a coastal retreat. The town is situated along the Spencer Highway which runs parallel to the Princess Highway. Visitors often migrate from Adelaide City through the northern suburbs and Port Wakefield, with Port Broughton being a two hour journey from the CBD.
This section of the report investigates the existing Port Broughton district in the context of long term planning for the Barunga West Council area. It analyses Port Broughton as a Regional Centre that sees an increase in population of up to 400% during high-season.
This section of the report will Identify the key drivers in transit infrastructure, health facilities, education facilities and leisure activities. This allows us to highlight the disconnection and opportunities of the Port Broughton Regional district as it will consider the centre’s geographic relationship to other regional towns and areas.

This development plan from the Barunga West Council, published 19th March 2015, shows the zones applicable for four different zoning policies within Port Broughton Regional Centre.
The zones include the Tourist Park Policy Area, Port Broughton Centre Policy Area, Port Broughton South Policy Area and Port Broughton Waterfront Policy Area.
The greater residential area is contained within the Port Broughton Centre Policy Area while the foreshore is a combination of Tourist Park Policy Area and Port Broughton Waterfront Policy Area.
The existing Port Broughton Regional Centre has low density, lacks permeability and occupies a vast area of land. The opportunity exists to consolidate activities within the centre and in further points (Fisherman Bay & Southern caravan park) in order to achieve appropriate and sustainable activation, and ensure long term staging and phasing of reinvestment.

In addition to the direct feedback on key elements of the Port Broughton Foreshore Master Plan development opportunity, other handwritten comments, including those drawn as maps at the consultation day, were incorporated and considered as part of the feedback and considered in the interim report findings. The Consultation Day drew a total of 120 responses.
From discussions with the elected members and the engagement of the public, several themes were identified; that facilitating health and well being and reinforcing the safety of residents and tourists was a key outcome; and that the connectedness to the area, personal memories and family ties to and within the community are of considerable significance.

KINGSCOTE, KANGAROO ISLAND SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The largest town on Kangaroo Island, Kingscote has a resident population of approximately 1,800 people. Kingscote has developed as the Island’s civic, commercial and community focus. The township is significant as the original settlement of South Australia and is a gateway for many visitors arriving by air and sea.
In 2010 the Kangaroo Island Council received a 2.6 million dollar development grant for a range of works. In an eight month period the council were able to implement 12 BBQ shelters, 20 other small shelters, 60 waste and recycling stations, 2 shower blocks, 7 bin banks, 150 hardwood and recycled plastic tables, 2500m of walkways, 2000 timber bollards, 700m of coastal fencing and 3 stair cases. They were also able to develop 4 bridges, 3 entrance roads, 5 toilets, 3 iron ranges, install 50 signs and upgrade lighting and camp grounds.
With a similar development structure, coastal site attributes and sustainability intent, the tourist trail and coastal development undertaken on Kangaroo Island serves as an important precedent of what is possible with a structured design and implementation scheme and successful applications for grant funding,

MACKENZIE FALLS GORGE TRAIL VICTORIA
Engaged by Parks Victoria, Hansen Partnership developed a parks recovery Master Plan for the Mackenzie Falls Precinct after the destruction of a key footbridge in early 2012.
The proposal defined a bold design solution for enhanced visitor experiences at one of Australia’s largest waterfalls, located with the Grampians National Park, Victoria.
Hansen’s Master Plan proposal included a realignment of the Mackenzie Falls Trail path and a new footbridge crossing the Mackenzie River. The new alignment takes visitors through steep and at times challenging terrains with new steel bridges and expanded mesh platforms bolted into the rockface of the trail.

THE BOGEY HOLE NEWCASTLE
Listed on the State Heritage Register, The Bogey Hole was hand-hewn out of a wave cute rock platform by local convicts for Major James Morisset in 1819. Under the responsibility of the Land and Property Management Authority - NSW, The Bogey Hole had deteriorated over time so heavily that the lower section of stairs had been completely washed away, the handrail was non-compliant and rusting. The sea-chains were lost, rusted or removed.
After some time the Management Authority decided to reinstate access to the Bogey Hole, designing an entrance that would be acceptable to the Heritage Office, able to withstand the harsh sea wave conditions, provide good access for the public, reference and be sympathetic to the history of the site and minimise the impact on the surrounding area.

THE 606/BLOOMINGDALE CHICAGO, UNITED STATES
The 606, or Bloomingdale Trail is a 4.5km trail and park in Chicago that runs along an unused, elevated rail line between Ashland and Ridgeway. The urban trail opened to the public on June 6, 2015.
Numerous public meetings brought community input into the park and trail system’s design, function, and the aesthetics of the parks trail, and event spaces. That process culminated in an unveiling of the final design plans and overarching project name in June of 2013.
The 606 brings together arts, history, design, trails for bikers, runners, and walkers, event spaces, alternative transportation avenues and green, open spaces.
The 606 provides another example for the pedestrian connection through the Port Broughton Centre Precinct with move significantly designed areas and from the Fisherman Bay Area through to the Port Broughton South Precinct with the incorporation of history, art, activity and open spaces.

PEDREIRA DO CAMPO URBAN PLANNING VILLA DO PORTO, PORTUGAL
Located on the island of Santa Maria in the eastern group of the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, Pedreira do Campo is a Natural Monument of Portugal, known for its abundance of oceanic fossils.
With sensitivity to the existing landscape, two trails were created across a section of the Pedreira do Campo coast. The raised pathway covers the irregular and rocky terrain, unobtrusively ending at a cantilevered viewpoint facing the ocean.
This trail installation is an indication of how the simplicity of materials and subtle design allows the existing terrain and context to retain its significance and continue to exist as the focal point of the experience. This approach could be adopted along the Port Broughton foreshore with the vast horizon lines, coastal views and stunning sunsets embraced as the most significant natural assets.

Positioned along the Federal Channel and Lake Michigan, the Erie Street plaza connects downtown Milwaukee to a revitalised zone out of the city centre.
It is part of a five kilometre long green corridor that promotes activity along the city’s reclaimed waterfront.
The project is based around maximizisng programmatic, environmental, and ecological variety within the space while recalling the site’s industrial past and surroundings .
The idea of fostering flexibility through varied ecology within the design of Erie Street Plaza can be used as a model for further urban reclamation projects such as the Port Broughton Foreshore Masterplan. Understanding how the Erie Street Plaza relates to complex contextual and programmatic relationships will be of significant importance to the successful design and development of the Port Broughton and Fisherman Bay districts.

The Canal Swimmer’s Club, a new multifunctional public space for meeting, relaxing, sunbathing and even swimming in the canals of Bruges opened in 2015, 40 years after the river had initially been closed to swimming because of poor water quality.
The project is as much an exercise of public space development as it is an indicator of the improved water quality in the area by the people and the city. Youths were expected to utilise the new structure as well as the elderly who could remember the enjoyment of swimming in the canal when they were younger.
The site is divided into two areas, one side providing a main access point for swimmers entering the water and on the other side tourist boats pass by on a regular basis and swimming is prohibited.

Collaborating with the City of Tea Tree Gully, Arketype redeveloped the design of citywide non-mandatory signage throughout the council area. A comprehensive style guide capturing signage hierarchy, design specifications, materials, drawings and style sheets was created to reflect the Council brand and ensure consistency during the staged rollout. This could serve as an exemplar for the Port Broughton Foreshore redevelopment.

FEEDBACK SUMMARY
+Toilet Facilities: Future development around the existing children’s playground, close to the proposed Lookout 2, drew considerable attention with interest in installing new toilet facilities.
+Solar Lighting and Public Shade: Solar lighting and increased public shade shelters within immediate proximity of the existing facilities were an immediate desire.
+Pedestrian Access: Clearly marked pedestrian access is necessary.
+Bird Hide: Development of a bird hide at the proposed Lookout 2 should be avoided as the use of the playground and movement of people would detract from the experience. Instead providing connection to a potential bird hide at the proposed Lookout 1 along the coastal walk had greater support.
+Cycling Infrastructure: The upgrade of cycling infrastructure was identified as an issue of immediate concern as was the retention of natural features and coastal ecologies.
+Netting: The community were also vocal of their concern regarding the issue of netting along the Port Broughton and Fisherman Bay coastline.
+Dunny Lane: Although the future of ‘Dunny Lane’ continues to be debated, it seems retaining what is left of the iconic feature is of value to the community for its historic significance and character. +Beach Access: Several pieces of feedback included the positioning of the proposed Beach Access 3 (BA3). This was regarding whether the current suggestion is the most appropriate position or if situating such access on what is currently crown land could be of greater value.
