Proposal

The applicant proposes to repair and improve the existing marine facility by:
   • Renewing and widening the existing jetty structure from 1.165m to 1.8m metres wide to
       comply with current access standards and improve public access safety;
   • Installing a security gate and jetty handrail;
   • Reducing the length of the existing timber jetty and installing a new hinged aluminium
       walkway within the lease area;
   • Installing 4 ‘finger’ pontoons parallel to the shore to allow access to moored boats within the
       lease area.
   • Relocate the existing office and decking area currently located near the end of the existing
       jetty closer to the shore and entrance to the jetty (with no increase in the jetty/decking use
       areas);
   • Construct a new 5.3m x 2.3m (12m2) x 2.4m high ‘storage’ building on the southern side of
       the new walkway;
   • Removing all existing unused pilings and pontoons within the lease area; and
   • Maintenance dredging works for approximately the first 15 metres from the Low Water Line to
       comply with lease conditions and safely utilise this area without regular dredging.

Figure 5 shows the proposed new lease areas and new jetty works, with a full list of drawings
included as Appendix 2.

within the leased area necessary so as to comply with current anti-discrimination standards, building

boats at the marine facility.
