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

The amenity of this area would suggest that a higher boundary wall would be deemed necessary for
the very protection of the property against the tidal levels. Our client has agreed to lower the height
of the proposed new wall to an RL of 1.3m AHD (see attached plans). This level is 220mm above HAT
but will ensure that the property is protected from the higher tides similar to the nearby properties
that have built even higher masonry walls above the original wall for this protection.

In relation to the proposed wall being suitably designed, the engineer’s certificate included with the
application documents, includes statements in relation to the design of the wall being suitable for
flood, tidal conditions and expected use. Please refer to “Certification of design of prescribed tidal
work” dated 7 July, 2020 signed by Sean Richardson which is attached for your convenience. In
addition, we attached a Form 15 that has been provided by the engineer with the amended plans.


2. The design plan 30153-J7 includes detail of a “boat tie post” but the location and number of boat
   tie posts is not clearly indicated on the site and section plans.

Please find attached amended plans showing the location of the “boat tie post” locations (noted as P3
on the jetty framing plan) as requested.


We trust that we have provided sufficient evidence for Council to agree that our client’s proposal is
suitable for its purpose and suitably meets with Council requirements. Our client is also happy to meet
with Council on site if they believe that this would give them further insite into the proposal. Please let
me know if you wish to organise such a meeting.

We do not believe that it is in the interest of any of the involved parties for a refusal to be issued on this
Development Application. Rather, should Council wish to discuss this matter further or have any further
questions, please contact me in the first instance.

Our client would like to finalise this matter as quickly as possible so I look forward to hearing from you
at your earliest convenience.


Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.

Yours faithfully
PROJECT URBAN
