Scenario 1

A large developer is planning to build a 5-star multi-storey resort, including a fun park, a nightclub and a boat jetty from the beach in front of the resort, for exclusive use by hotel guests. The developer plans to attract conferences to the hotel during the winter season.

The area is a pristine environment with a small population. It is a neat and tidy town and there is a low rate of crime. Currently, there is a high level of casual employment in summer at the numerous small hotels and motels, but there is little work in winter.

The community is concerned about the social, economic and environmental impacts on the area. They are in disagreement with the local council, which is trying to push through approval for the development.

Please make a list of:

negative impacts on the community, and
positive impacts on the community.
