Chapter 7.1

1) Currently there is a trend for people to move from large cities to smaller coastal towns and villages where the lifestyle is more relaxed. This has caused a negative affect on the coastal line because the population is rising meaning that there is an increase in pollution. This can cause a health risk to humans. Also recreational activities like four-wheel driving places pressure on the infrastructure and environment of the area. If not carefully managed large dunes areas and beaches can be highly susceptible to erosion.
2) Because of all the inappropriate development the government now includes strict rules in an effort to ensure appropriate development. However, there are still poorly planned developments that alter the natural environment.
3) When Australians move from large cities to smaller coastal towns and villages where lifestyle is more relaxed
4) Some towns have imposed residential caps or a population ceiling for their town in an effort to stop over development of the area.
5) Inappropriate development, Pollution, Population Growth, Tourism and recreational pressures
