Define the geographic extent of proposed 'restrictions on access' and develop a legally binding 'Recreation and Access Guarantee' for local trail networks.
Strategic Rationale
The Proponent's submission admits to 'unavoidable changes' and 'restrictions on access' for safety and security. For the residents of Melgund, the Revell site is a vital area for hunting, fishing, and recreational trail use. Vague references to 'perception' downplay the physical loss of land use. By defining these zones early and guaranteeing the replacement of any lost trails, the Proponent can mitigate the permanent loss of heritage and food security for locals. This proactive approach will improve community relations and ensure that the project's security needs do not unnecessarily destroy the rural way of life in Dyment and Borups Corners.
