AO5.2 Development in a storm tide inundation area is

located, designed, constructed and operated to:

(1) maintain dune crest heights, or where a reduction in
crest heights cannot be avoided, mitigate risks to
development from wave overtopping and storm tide
inundation

(2) maintain or enhance coastal ecosystems and natural
features, such as mangroves and coastal wetlands,
between the development and tidal waters, where the
coastal ecosystems and natural features protect or
buffer communities and infrastructure from storm tide
inundation.

AND

 

AO5.3 Redevelopment of built structures in the erosion

prone area within a coastal management district:

(1) avoids intensifying the use of the premises, or

(2) demonstrates that any intensification of use will not
result in an increase in the need for erosion control
structures or riverbank hardening.

AND

The redevelopment is replacement of an existing revetment
wall/erosion control structure. The net amount of riverbank
hardening will not increase.

 

 

AO5.4 Development that is coastal protection work

involves:

(1) beach nourishment undertaken in accordance with a
program of beach nourishment works that source
sediment of a suitable quality and type from outside
the active beach system, or

(2) the construction of an erosion control structure,
where it is demonstrated that installing an erosion
control structure is the only feasible option for
protecting permanent structures from coastal erosion
and those structures cannot be abandoned or
relocated in the event of coastal erosion occurring.

Editor’s note: Applications for coastal protection work should be

supported by a report certified by a Registered Professional

Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) that demonstrates how the

engineering solution sought by the work will be achieved.

Editor’s note: Applications for erosion control structures should
demonstrate the consideration of beach nourishment techniques,

 

 

The proposal complies with AO5.4. The road that the
revetment wall is protecting cannot be abandoned.
