                      Coastal Protection
               19.    Any rear fencing adjacent to the beachfront must not exceed 1.2 metres in height, be of open
                      construction, constructed of lightweight materials (e.g., timber) and be dark in colour to blend
                      with the natural landscape.
               20.    Gates must not be installed along the eastern property boundary to gain direct access to the
                      beachfront.
               21.    External colours and finishes must be of muted/environmental tones that blend with the
                      natural environment and low-reflective roofing and cladding materials.
               22.    All lighting must be positioned and managed to reduce sky glow and light spill onto the beach
                      to minimise disruption to turtle nesting and sea-finding behaviour of hatchlings. The following
                      must be undertaken:
                      a.      All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE)
                              must have 15% visible light transmittance tinting.
                      b.      All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE)
                              must be fitted with opaque blinds, to be drawn from 8pm during turtle nesting and
                              hatching season (October – May).
                      c.      All outdoor lights must have a maximum of 2700 K correlated colour temperature
                              (CCT). All indoor lights must have a maximum of 3000 K CCT. All lighting (interior and
                              exterior) must avoid the use of halogen, metal halide, or fluorescent lights.
                      d.      Amber LED (590-610 nm) or low pressure sodium lighting must be used as a standard.
                              Warm white is to be used only where colour rendition is required. LED lights must not
                              contain short wavelength blue light and supplier should be asked to provide spectral
                              power curve of requested LEDs to prove the absence of short wavelengths.
                      e.      The number and wattage of lights must be minimised.
                      f.      All lights must be recessed into structures and roof, and directed away from the turtle
                              nesting habitat.
                      g.      No lighting is permitted on the roof of the building.
                      h.      All outdoor lights, including balcony lights, must be turned off between 8:00pm and
                              sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season (October – May).
                      i.      External feature lighting to the building must be positioned below 8 metres in height
                              and turned off between 8:00 pm and sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season
                              (October – May).
                      j.      No upward lights or vertical illumination of the building, vegetation or other structures
                              using lighting that shines into the sky to be used.
                      k.      Where lighting is required for safety purposes (including all corridors above ground
                              level, stairwells, entry points etc.), the lighting of these areas must be activated by
                              proximity sensors or motion detectors with an associated deactivation of the lighting
                              after no more than 10 minutes during turtle nesting and hatching season (October –
                              May). For lighting in other areas, timers, proximity or motion activated light sensors
                              must be used wherever possible.
                      l.      No decorative outdoor lighting is to be fitted to the buildings, open space or recreation
                              areas (e.g. Fairy/Christmas lights) during nesting and hatching season (October –
                              May).
                      m.      Pool lighting must be switched off after 8:00pm during nesting and hatching season
                              (October – May).
                      n.      All exterior lighting must be shielded by a minimum of 30 cm vertical shielding.
               23.    Certification must be submitted to Council which certifies that the lighting requirements of
                      this Decision Notice have been met.
