Introduction

The planned redevelopment of the port Pirie beach to include tourist accommodation zones and waterfront has both merits and demerits. The main aim is encourage influx of visitors which in turn translate to several benefits both to residence of Solomontown and the states. To increase the number of tourists, the state must redesign an environment that favours tourism such as infrastructure. This infrastructure includes car parks, entertainments and recreational facilities, tourist accommodations, motels, foot paths and roads within Port Pirie beach. From the plan it is evident that the allocated accommodation site is adequate and no likelihood of congestion during peak hours.

Tourist Accommodation Zone

Currently, it is anticipated that diverse activities take place in the accommodation area Port Pirie beaches some of which are insignificant while other are significant. Another factor making port Pirie beach an ideal tourist destination is the site near to the main road at Solomontown. This is not only making it accessible but also encourages commercial activities.

From the plan, it is evident that Port Pirie Beach intends to encourage a wide range of accommodations to varied number of tourist across the world given its wide area allocated for accommodations. The design plan provides the best pathways and footpaths allow the tourist to walk around the beach very easily. The location of the accommodation area provides with a clear scene to the beach and its environs. The presence of both caravan and camping facilities and the Cottage and cabin-type tourist makes the site outstanding destinations because of the related services. Shops, restaurants and cafes also cater for special needs of the tourists.

The presence of the menders streets allows easy access to transport services while at the same time reducing noise pollution by having only one road across the accommodation area. The pedestrian’s footpaths favour the tourist to walk along to and from the beach. The buildings adjacent to the road near the accommodation area must be carefully designed to reduce the effect of heavy traffic. Vibrations and noise from heavy traffic and trucks can affect tall building and make tourist uncomfortable.

Activities and infrastructure such as fuel depot, industries and prescribed mining operations stock saleyard, store, warehouse, road transport terminal are known to either pollute the air or cause unrest to the tourist. Therefore, they must be discouraged in the redesign of the Pirie beach. In addition, animal keeping, waste disposal depot, waste transfer depot are also not favourable in the tourist destinations since they cause air and environment pollution. Conversely, banks and consulting rooms need to be established next to the accommodations to ensure tourists are able to withdraw cash easily and conduct business in closed rooms.

Waterfront

The redesign of the Port Pirie beach at the waterfront must focus on recreation facilities, shelters, shops and kiosks, changing rooms and open space with a good landscape for both passive and active tourists. It must also provide car parks, boats, clubs and restaurants and commercial related services to waterfront. Regulated activities from the neighbours which ensure that service to the tourist are optimum.

The design of the waterfront Pirie beach is ideal in that trades areas, waterfront and the service trade areas are located strategically close to the beach thus accessible to the tourist. From the map it is evident that the waterfront surrounding has no residence, restaurants, and shops thus making it exclusive for recreation activities. It has a vast space allocated for grassed and landscaped ground, change rooms, shelters, and emergency services. The plan can easily be combined with the accommodation plan since the features included does not contrast but are in tandem with each other. Off street parking as depicted in the plan is also optimal and does not interfere with waterfront activities. Building adjacent to the plan should also be designed thoughtfully to encompass certain characteristics of colourfulness, strength, closeness to the traffic, far from the sea, accessible to the tourist as depicted in the plan. With regard to the roads and footpath, it should be designed to allow quick access to the beach without a lot of navigation as depicted in the plan which has several streets roads.

In addition to the plan, the following issues must also be addressed in such so as to create an ideal tourist beach. Banks and consulting rooms should be closer to the waterfront just in case the tourist run out of fund can access the very easily aprtv10 The from providing room for discussion for tourist since some of them are in business trip. Hotel, motels, stores, Office, retails show room, motor shows, service trade premises, stockyard, shops, services trade premises all must erected close to the waterfront for easy access by the tourist.

Conversely, the following must be discouraged with the entire mean. The Warehouse Waste Disposal Depot, Waste Transfer Depot, Prescribed Mining Operations, Intensive Animal

Keeping, Industry all cause pollution to the environment that is conducive to tourism development.

Conclusion

The aim of the redesign is to improve revenue from the potential of tourism at Solomontown. The increased number of tourist and encouraged tourism go hand in hand with improved infrastructure. The state must redesign an environment that favours tourism such as infrastructure. This includes car parks, entertainments and recreational facilities, tourist accommodations, motels, foot paths and roads within Port Pirie beach.
