Landscape appraisal of Sandy Point Domain Invercargill : with emphasis on gravel pit restoration : a research study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of Landscape Architecture at Lincoln College, University of Canterbury

Abstract

The objective of this study is to access the potentials and limitations of the Sandy Point Domain, Invercargill. It is to form the basis for a recreational policy statement by the Invercargill City Council on planning of the Domain, so that the most desirable landscape practices are incorporated in the future development.

General planning criteria for the development of the extensive gravel pit areas shall be outlined so that their optimum potential can be realised.

In this way development should maintain and enhance the natural environment as well as provide a variety of recreation facilities.
