IDAS Code for Prescribed Tidal Works
The IDAS code sets out a number of specific outcomes and probable solutions for the works. The
following specific outcomes are of most relevance for the assessment.
Outcome 3.1
Prescribed tidal work is of a height, scale and size to ensure the work is compatible with the
character and amenity of its location, having regard to the following:
a.    The height, scale and size of the natural features of the work’s immediate surroundings and
      the locality within which the work is located,
b.    The height, scale and size of the existing buildings or other structures in the work’s immediate
      surroundings and the locality within which the work is located,
c.     If the relevant planning scheme states the desired height, scale or size of buildings or other
      structures in the work’s immediate surroundings or the locality within which the work is
      located – the stated desired height, scale or size.
The form of the development is compatible with the surrounding natural environment and the
existing built form within and outside of the lease area.
Outcome 7.2
The location of prescribed tidal work ensures vegetation is cleared or disturbed only to the extent
reasonably necessary for the work.
No vegetation removal is required for the works.
Outcome 8.1
Prescribed tidal work does not have a significant adverse effect on the availability of public access
to foreshores, including public access proposed in the relevant planning scheme.
The works are contained within the lease area and do not significantly affect public access to the
foreshore.

5.    CONCLUSION
The application for an Operational Works Permit to develop alterations and additions to the jetty
and pontoons at 9 Cardell Road is recommended for approval. The proposed works provide for an
upgrade of an existing marine facility and complies with State and Local Planning Codes. The
works will allow for improved access to the site to comply with current building standards and
facilitate an improved capacity to moor vessels within the lease area. The new buildings will be an
enhancement on the existing building within the lease and provide improved public safety by
locating it closer to the jetty entry.
