Festivals, theatre, music, art and craft, public art, galleries, modern sculpture, boutique hotels, quality restaurants and cafes, health spa’s and retreats.

The great outdoors
The Bay also has plenty of areas of outstanding natural beauty boasting fantastic walks, cycling and bridleways, which appeals to those who wish to escape from the city for a long weekend, or a family holiday enjoying this environment.

Local Retail and Organic produce
Local products, organic foods and boutique shops are increasingly popular, and we expect to see an increase in these types of retail within the Bay area.

Design
Building design and public realm should reflect the beautiful natural environment found in the Bay. Use of natural materials such as wood, stainless steel and modern planting schemes will be encouraged. These modern, high quality materials will create a new ambience about the area.
