Key - Main Plan
Boundary of Gross Development Area
The space will be designed to
incorporate a number of linked
but differently themed areas for
various uses. Play elements will
be incorporated along with active
spaces but opportunities will also
be there for passive areas. By
creating various rooms within the
overall spine areas can be versatile both in design and management terms.
