The governmental strategic plan is focussed on commercial and leisure infrastructure development in the area surrounding the man-made Kalba Lagoon, which will boast gardens, parks, retail spaces and public facilities, such as Kalba Waterfront Mall scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2019.

Outside of the protected area, a variety of hospitality projects are planned, including a five-star hotel, luxury tented resorts and tourist camping sites. Developments are limited within the conservation zone, ensuring the protection of the ecosystem whilst offering visitors an opportunity for observation.
