planning issues & considerations Rising land values are contributing to the displacement of community service agencies and other community groups. Community organisations are also affected by rising rents and in some cases the loss of community office space due to the commercial reality of leasing space in a CBD location. Holistic solutions to affordable office space problems will be required, for example use of ground floor in commercial building to activate space. The proximity of Planning Area 10 to Planning Area 8 may explain the limited availability of social infrastructure in this area. For example the proximity to the 3 hospitals in Planning Area 8 negates the need for local level community health centres. Similarly, the presence of regional level cultural facilities/spaces in Planning Area 8 can explain the lack of local and district level facilities/spaces in Planning Area 10. Future provision in Planning Area 10 and Planning Area 8 should be cognisant of shared facilities/spaces and access. identified needs, provision strategies & recommendations
