As the eastern section of the park was originally a waste 7 fill site and later used for waste transfer, the ground condition/subgrade varies with the result that the roads tend to be uneven in many places and tend to deteriorate with use. There is very little kerb and channel or edging. The park is split in two with east and west not connected by road. Road names are poorly defined which creates issues when emergency 10 services are called out for sporting events. The road layouts within the 8 PACIFIC AVENUE park in the lower areas serving football and athletics are difficult to use and lack connectivity with road line markings non-existent in these areas. A system of gates deters “rat running”, and at the same time affects park Road corridor user connectivity.

No pedestrian path » Ensure destinations are clearly connected with No pedestrian path entries and car parks. PIZZEY DRIVE COMMUNITY CONSULTATION FINDINGS: Currently the path system lacks connectivity and is unsafe. The path system throughout the park has developed in an ad hoc manner to suit the immediate needs of the time. A layer of designed path connection has been attempted but is incomplete. The path hierarchy is poorly defined. Access into the park from the entries is poorly defined with no pedestrian path access from Pacific Avenue and Cottesloe Drive. Throughout the park pedestrians must share the road pavement in many areas. There are no clearly defined connected cycle paths. Despite these shortfalls the path PACIFIC AVENUE network is highly utilised by walkers, joggers and casual cyclists. The paths are a mix of sealed (concrete), unsealed and informal tracks. Miami State School has very high levels of active transport that utilise the park as part of their journey. SONIA ST In some areas the paths benefit from mature shade trees making them popular during summer.

PACIFIC AVE PIZZEY DRIVE COMMUNITY CONSULTATION FINDINGS: With a wide mix of uses and sporting codes – a system of fencing is required for a range of purposes. Over time the fencing has been installed to suit the needs of the park users and or satisfy safety requirements. The majority of fencing is galvanised chainmesh and steel post of varying heights. Assorted bollards, timber log/ rail barriers are typically found around the car parks. Gates are positioned at access points and along some of the roads for maintenance access and PACIFIC AVENUE event/park management. There are four main fencing types: 1. Barrier fencing to exclude access generally from playing fields – the height and location determined by the sporting code. 2. Boundary fencing to the park perimeter against adjoining property with the height and fence type determined by the neighbouring use. SONIA ST 3. Sports fencing to tennis courts. 4. Safety barriers which work as warning devices against hazards such as Dense vegetation to water bodies or car parks etc. waters edge limits PARADISE AVENUE interaction with water The fencing varies greatly, is inconsistent and in many areas redundant. The potential change of use will allow large sections of fencing to be removed providing access to the open space.

    Run Report 2171 VD This Run was notable in having 17 Runners. They were drawn in by the Hare’s promise of a short Run, around 4k he thought. So, off they went! The final Runner, MADEMOISELLE LATRINE was arriving back as the rest of the pack had been fed, watered, entertained and were repairing to their transportation at around 9.15! He offered to pay for his meal but was excused. Other Runners returned at various times, most recording at least 9k on their high tech equipment. In these days and nights of electronics you can’t fool anyone VD. However VD worked tirelessly to produce an exceptional 3 course meal, two hot dishes followed by an outstanding dessert in my opinion. Others had different views, possibly jaundiced by their Run experience. Brutus enjoying his entree After the meal there was a flurry of table washing by Brutus, chair collection and places secured in the Circle. RUN: Skyhook saw tennis courts and a soccer oval and thought he was Home until advised that these were not the right ones and to keep running for another 5k. CIRCUMFERENCE had a cutting comment. VD came forward to defend himself and explained that the computer on his bike - BIKE?? had failed at 4.5k which led him to make a judgement on distance even though he was only halfway through setting the Run at that point. Down Down deserved! Not rated. WALK: SHAT explained that SIR RABBIT AND FERRET got lost but that it was a wonderful Walk. NOSH: MISCARRIAGE muttered that he had no food due to his late return from the 4k Run and complained about his bad back.

    Appendix D Social Impact Assessment 41/15762/09/339481 R0 Notional Seaway Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement Coordinator•General Report for Gold Coast Notional Seaway Project Social Impact Assessment August 2006 Important Notice – Disclaimer SIA on a Notional Project including a Concept Design The Social Impact Assessment (SIA) has been developed and conducted to address the Terms of Reference of the Notional Seaway Project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS is based on a concept developed by GHD Pty Ltd (GHD). The concept design is based on a brief provided by the Queensland Government (Initial Advice Statement) and relevant design codes. Because this SIA has not been undertaken on a ‘real Project’ much of the information that is usually available to identify and assess social impacts is not present, therefore case studies and industry (both cruise ship and super yacht) information have been heavily relied upon. Participation of Notional Seaway Project Stakeholders Any participation in the SIA by Notional Seaway Project Stakeholders has been on a voluntary basis. Their participation in the SIA does not condemn nor advocate the development of the Project, rather it states the social impacts they have identified with the information they had at the time. 41/15762/343332 Gold Coast Notional Seaway Project Social Impact Assessment Contents Executive Summary xvi Introduction xvi Methodology xvi Community Profile xvi Community Services and Facilities xviii Existing Social Environment xviii Identification of Social Impacts xix Significance of Social Impacts xx Mitigation/Management and Enhancement Strategies xxiii Monitoring of Social Impacts xxiv Summary xxvi 1.
