Chapter 5: The Master Plan

The Corridor as an Event The projects along the corridor are planned to unfold as a series of “events” over the course of the route, and will be implemented in stages over a number of years to add continuous value to the community.Thirty key projects identified are considered important in building and maintaining the framework of the community over the period of transition from the highway bypass, and have been developed using a criteria that corresponds with both the community’s vision and expectation, coupled with the practicality and achievability of funding and implementing the projects.Each project fits within the framework of the master plan, the cornerstones of community engagement, sound urban design principles, economic prosperity and community wellbeing and in so doing, will weave a new creative impetus into the existing town and village fabric.
