Introduction
Through the planning and design process, including community and stakeholder consultation and site review, eighty (80) separate waterfront related initiatives have been identified. These initiatives include both physical/infrastructure improvements as well as operational improvements. The initiatives are organized into ten waterfront locations/topic areas:
- West Beach & Headland
- Harbour
- Marina
- East Pier
- Victoria Beach
- Campground
- Victoria Park
- Parking & Traffic Management
- Waterfront Linkages & Connections
- Other Waterfront Parks & Open Spaces
