Part 3 - A - Information Response Final · OPW20/0118

In this location, the sand leading up to the wall is much higher than typically found in other areas so the
original revetment wall does not sit 500mm above the sand height as suggested by Council. The images
below show the location of the revetment wall at nearby properties confirming that the sand level is
much higher up the original revetment wall and in some cases, completely covers the top of the wall.

It is evident that the tidal levels come right up to (and above) the top of this original wall level and
evidence of scouring is also noticeable. It seems that many properties in the area have built additional
masonry walls above this to keep the adjoining property safe from tidal inundation. With HAT at
1.08m (AHD) this evidence shows that the tides come over the height of the revetment wall at RL 0.9m
AHD.
