| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the National Golf Club's 36 hole link development, stating that "with the development of the additional 36 holes it will be the only 54 hole golfing facility in Australia and offers the prospect for the design of the first true links championship courses in Victoria [Australia]." Describes the planning and design process, stating that "a number of specialist consultant studies were undertaken, including geomorphology and groundwater studies, flora and fauna assessments together with archaeological surveys to determine the site's suitability for the development and the most appropriate ways to preserve and restore the area's original character." Also describes efforts to preserve native vegetation, stating that "exclusive use of indigenous planting with an emphasis on the restoration of the Moonah open woodland will be undertaken in certain areas including those areas adjacent the Residential Estate." Also discusses maintenance procedures. |
