Development is       located,    designed    and
constructed to:

1. maintain dune crest heights and minimise
   and mitigate the risk to development from
   wave overtopping and storm tide inundation;
   and

2. maintain or enhance coastal ecosystems and
   natural features such as coastal creeks and
   marine plants including mangroves, salt
   marshes and coastal wetlands, to assist in
   protecting and buffering communities and
   infrastructure from sea-level rise and coastal
   inundation impacts
