29 The Promontory, Noosaville, QLD 4566
Regarding the Height of the Jetty in Relation to the Revetment Wall
My wife and I (Marylou & Paul Shaw), as the owners of the property located at 29 The Promontory in Noosa
Waters, recently engaged Noosa Jetty Builders to construct a new jetty.
Noosa Jetty Builders obtained Council consent to construct the jetty and, at about the same time, we, as
owners of the property, obtained Council consent to construct a timer deck in the waterside yard.
A recent survey of the revetment wall abutting the property shows that this particular section of the
revetment wall has moved both laterally and vertically.
In places, the lateral movement of the revetment wall exceeds 60 mm – as is indicated in the pictures below.
Vertical movement (above and below RL 1.0) may exceed 40 mm – again, as is indicated in the pictures below.
Because of the abovementioned horizontal and vertical movement, the revetment wall itself is no longer level.
Accordingly, it is not possible to construct a jetty, that abuts the revetment wall and that transitions to and
from the timber deck in the waterside yard, that has the requisite “level-walking surface” that is also “level
with the top of the revetment wall”.

As a consequence of this vertical movement, and recognising also that there may well be further lateral and/or vertical movement at some in the future, during the construction of the timber deck Council officers determined that the timber deck could sit slightly higher than (but not pass beyond) the revetment wall. The picture below shows the agreed, as built, position of the timber deck. Given the existing height variation (and possible future movement) in the revetment wall, and with a view to establishing and maintaining a safe and level transition from the Council-approved position and height of the timber deck, we believe that the height of the jetty should be the same as the timber deck – approximately 60mm above the revetment wall.
