It is sometimes a controversial issue to talk about what gives an area its own character or sense of place.    Stockton has been variously described as “like a country town” , “with a village feel to it” and “a suburb going through change”.  The Heritage Study attached to this report was produced to enable the possibility of future planning to enhance and protect the unique nature of Stockton.   There is also some information from the Department of Planning which explores issues that are facing coastal towns.
