24-01-2020 - Appeal No. 245 of 2019 - Final Order of Judge Rackemann · 51987.2951.01

Working Notes:
M Design and Fourteen Enterprises Pty Ltd as trustee v Noosa Shire Council -
42 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach

1.     Introduction
Paul Prenzler of Omtrek Pty Ltd has been engaged by Fourteen Enterprises Pty Ltd via McInnes
Wilson Lawyers regarding the matter of the Planning and Environment Appeal No 245 of 2019 with
respect to the Disputed Issues relevant to coastal management. In response to the Court Order
dated 24 July 2019, a meeting of coastal engineering experts is to commence on 2 August 2019 and a
Joint Experts Report (JER) in relation to coastal management and engineering was prepared for the
Court by 16 August 2019.

This report has been prepared by Omtrek Pty Ltd under the supervision of Paul Prenzler to support
the JER and addresses issues relevant to coastal management and engineering, specifically coastal
hazards and associated beach erosion. This report documents the site specific conditions that will
influence the modelling and calculation of the Erosion prone area.

The appeal relates to Noosa Shire Council’s refusal of an application to construct a swimming pool at
42 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach. The swimming pool is proposed to be located seaward of a
Coastal Building Line located on the property but in alignment with similar development on
neighbouring properties along Seaview Terrace.

The following sections of this report document a critical review of the Erosion prone area variables
calculated by others, the data collated and used in empirical modelling, an overview of the empirical
modelling that was prepared and a recalculation of the Erosion prone area for two design event
intervals being 30 year and 100 year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI). The 30 year period
corresponds with the asset lifespan of the pool which is the subject of this appeal and 100 year
period corresponds with the Queensland Government methodology for calculating an Erosion prone
area.
