Minor Change Request report INCE Arakoon · MCU19/0008.02

Given the encroachments are to the first floor and its roof eave and the balcony is 4.1m
above NGL and the eave is 7m above NGL, it is unlikely these structures will have any
impact on the natural cycle of the foreshore. It is also very unlikely that wave overtopping
will occur because of the encroachment, noting how high the structures above NGL. Noting
also that these structures are not unlike uncovered cantilevered balconies in that they are
cantilevered and significantly above NGL and the coastal foredune system.

An exception is the small portion of building (starting from the first floor) which encroaches
into the 15m setback. This portion does not extend to the ground level but sits over the top
of the lower level and will not be subject to any impacts of or will not be impacted by any
coastal cycles. The setback to the seaward boundary allows for natural processes of
erosion and accretion to occur naturally, including as a result of sea level rise and therefore
meets the relevant Overall outcome, PO and AO’s of the Coastal Protection and Scenic
Amenity Overlay Code.

An updated geotechnical report prepared by Pacific Geotech and stormwater management
plan prepared by SCG is provided to ensure dune stability.
