4.9 LABOUR AND ECONOMY 4.9.1 Definition of Labour and Economy
In this section, labour and economy will refer to the labour market, local economy, and employment income generated by the golf course.
4.9.2 Positive Impacts
The Links at Dover Coast will provide a number of employment and income benefits, both direct and indirect. To begin, construction of the golf course will bring money to the local economy through expenditures for materials, supplies, excavation, landscaping, etc. Once construction of the course is complete, ongoing maintenance costs associated with the operation of a golf course will have a positive, long-term economic impact. Costs associated with fertilizers, herbicides, fuel, equipment repair, seed, sod, trees, shrubs,

4.10.2 Positive Impacts
A well maintained golf course is visually appealing to local communities living on or near the golf course, and can improve the quality of life for these residents. Golf courses provide people, usually retired people, with opportunities for social interaction through physical activity. For those people living in the Dover Coast community of homes, a golf membership is free, and thus, they are able to engage in recreational activities without having to drive any significant distance.
Moreover, a Wind Turbine Project has been approved for development on the land directly adjacent to the proposed site. The Wind Project features 58 turbines, and received its Renewable Energy Approval from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in July 2012. Thus, while the lands could have remained agricultural, this land would not have been used for additional residential projects because of the proximity to the turbines. Construction of this Wind Project began in 2013.

During the construction phase of the project, road traffic will largely consist of large trucks delivering fill and materials. However, once construction has finished, automotive traffic will increase, specifically in the late spring to early fall months when the golf course is open for regular business.
4.11 LAND AND RESOURCE USE
Land and resource use encompasses the how the land is arranged and used for human activity. What is considered in this section is the current zoning of the current site, as well as the recreational, residential, and commercial activities that surround the project. How the project might impact the visual aesthetics and the adjacent property values will also be considered. 4.11.1 Positive
Between the years 1960 and 1999, Mount Laurel’s population grew approximately 762%, at a rate of nearly 1,000 people per year. Such rapid growth began to negatively affect schools, roads, and municipal services. Fast forward to 1999, the town of Mount Laurel adopts an “Open Space Recreation
To answer the first question, the Appellate Division cited the Green Acre statutes, the Municipal Trust Fund Act, and the Garden State Preservation Act. From these statutes, the court declared that it’s in the publics’ best interest to set aside land for future recreational use, and to help curb congestion and pollution problems. But this does not answer the question, if eminent domain is applicable in this case. In the second question, the court had no problem with whether the plan was dedicated to open space use as, this was an issue of eminent domain not zoning. Lastly, the third question coincides with the first question.
Out of six First Nation groups, we agree Lower Kootenay Band to be the most favorable one to propose our wind energy project to after discussing with my group members. They have a very open territory of 6,000 acres, and a small population. Currently, they are seeking “Clean Energy Opportunities” and our business fits right in the criteria. The reason we did not choose Hesquiaht and Tsawout First Nation is because both are located on Vancouver Island with relatively denser population and many tourists. Ferries and ships occupy the sea nearby, almost impossible to develop offshore wind turbines.
The Founders Club is one of Florida’s pre-eminent country club and golf communities.

There would be activities related to golfing such as, closest to the pin and a chipping contest. But there would also be balloon popping, water balloon tosses, and other carnival games. The goal of setting up these events all over the course is to make people feel comfortable with the course set up. Overall the event would appeal to everyone, so that people would feel welcome by Scotch Pines Golf
The Stratton Township Park (Park) contains two golf courses, a swimming pool, eight hundred acres of woods, and open spaces (Finkler, Purtell, Calabrese, & Smith, 2013). In addition, the Stratton Parks Department offers miles of trails for visitors to hike on the property and commune with nature (Finkler et al., 2013). This budget memo elaborates on the annual program budget for the Stratton Township Park, dated October 28, 2015. In the memo, the annual budget addresses the projection for golf operations, the pool, concerts, and other park activities including tours, nature visitors, and general concessions as well as administrative costs of the Park. Overall, the park manager requires to take the following steps to develop the budget: 1.
1) NEPA and regulation issues by the Council on Environmental Quality require the Forest Service to prepare an EIS that analyzes the combined effects of the proposed road and the timber sales that the road would make. 2) The decision to build the road is inconsistent with the National Forest Management Act because the cost of road will exceed the value of timber it will access. 3) The road is likely to affect the Rocky Mountain Gray Wolf that are endangered species and the Forest Services failed to follow the procedure by the Endangered Species Act.
The majority of great golfers are in better physical condition than most, and have a rigors training schedule. Golf also requires skill that not every common person posses. It is currently a sport in the summer Olympics. Pro golfers also require some sort of teamwork between them and their catties. Pro golfers make more than enough to live a prosperous life.
The golf swing takes in total of 17 muscle groups in the coordinated movement of hands, wrists, arms, abdomen, and legs according to the study in the BMJ (British Medical Journal). Playing golf on a professional level requires ability to be able to walk long distances (on average 4.5 miles) and hit the ball long and straight with consistency. Golf’s demand for physical use often results in injuries. Since golf demands so much physical movements up to 62 percent of amateur golfers and approximately 88 percent of professional golfers end up with injuries each year. Playing golf can lead to injuries in the lower back, wrist, hand, shoulder, or head.
I began to take golf lessons in the 5th grade. At the time, I stereotyped all golfers as rich and lazy people with too much time on their hands, respecting them the least of all sportsmen. It was the cop-out sport that did not require much effort or physical ability, played by pretentious folk who wanted to appear sportsy without putting in the effort. Simply put, the game was unprofessional. Some of these convictions were based on my knowledge that it was one of the only sports in which players hit a stationary ball and walk, while some even had the audacity to smoke, drink, or drive golf carts during play.
This article refers to the criteria for determining whether works would or would not be likely to have significant effects on the environment set out in Annex III to the EIA Directive, as amended. The criteria, as per Schedule 7 of the Planning and Development Regulations are grouped under three headings: (i) Characteristics of Proposed Development, (ii) Location of the Proposed Development and (iii) Characteristics of Potential Impacts. Consent authorities must have regard to these criteria in forming an opinion as to whether or not a sub-threshold development such as the proposed development, are likely to have significant effects on the environment. Environmental impact statement When an EIS is required it should formatted in a clear and precise way to assist assessment by the necessary parties. The report should be systematically organised (see figure 1) and have sections on: • The Proposed Development • The Existing
1. The Tourism industry and Leisure time The time is a very valuable asset, that anyone can ever posses. The time people spend for something is unconsciously defining what is valuable and valueless for them. Few of the main areas, human beings spend time for are leisure and tourism.
