It's also worth reading the National Infrastructure Plan Update:
"Create the conditions to ensure the successful development of an oil and gas industry in the Falkland Islands, providing clear policy and legislative frameworks, and implementing policies to ensure the industry develops in a way that ensures
its commercial success and the delivery of sustainable economic and social benefits to the Islands."
Vision:
By 2026 the Falklands will continue to grow its reputation as a favourable place to do business, where
the environment is respected and enhanced and where there is appropriate infrastructure.
Stanley will remain a single coherent settlement with substantial housing and employment growth
being well related to existing areas. Within a well maintained historic core, a modern and attractive
retail, office and hotel hub will respect the wider setting and facilitate a positive visitor experience to
the town. Key strategic infrastructure to facilitate the development of oil/gas, tourism and fishing will
be in place, alongside the utilities and social infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing population.
The town will be a safe, attractive and convenient place to live, providing opportunities for healthy
lifestyle and a range of recreational activities. Appropriate access to Stanley Common will be
facilitated whilst maintaining a focus on nature conservation within key sites and areas.
Camp will be a thriving and diverse place, offering a viable alternative location to Stanley for living
and working. Its diversified economy will benefit from a modern agricultural sector, growth of land
based tourism and fit for purpose infrastructure and services. The built and natural heritage will be
respected and enhanced, including protection of our internationally important wildlife.
