REPORT
On 21 April 2022, Council at its Ordinary meeting resolved to refuse an application seeking
retrospective approval for a jetty (constructed contrary to an approval issued in 1994) and the
addition of a jet ski dry storage pontoon at 10-12 Ravenwood Drive for the following reasons:
1.    The proposal is contrary to PO1, PO9, PO13, and PO19 of the Waterways Works Code as
      it:
      1.1   will lead to cluttering and adverse amenity impacts on the character and amenity of the
            waterway and adjoining lots;
      1.2   includes works outside the prolongation of boundaries of the lot;
      1.3   will result in berthed vessels encroaching over the prolongation of boundaries of the
            lot;
      1.4   when all vessels are moored, prevents the jet skis from leaving its dry storage pontoon;
      1.5   will result in adverse amenity impacts and potential conflicts with users of the
            neighbouring jetty and put at risk users’ safety.
