                      1        INTRODUCTION
                      Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) has been engaged by Christian Seymour, the owner of 17 The Esplanade
                      (Lot 678 on RP48111), Sunshine Beach to undertake a site-specific coastal hazard assessment.
                      It is proposed to demolish the existing residential building and construct a new residential building on
                      the site. The site is subject to coastal planning constraint layers, and this coastal hazard assessment
                      is required to address the assessment requirements of Noosa Shire Council.
                      The assessment reported herein provides a site-specific assessment of erosion hazard risk, including
                      a site-specific assessment of the erosion prone area width and an assessment of the beach erosion
                      likely to occur due to an extreme storm event. Accordingly, it provides an estimate of erosion
                      vulnerability along this section of beach and will be used to address the assessment criteria
                      considered by Noosa Shire Council. It should be noted that the reported erosion prone area is an
                      estimate of erosion vulnerability over a 100-year planning period and is based on a conservative
                      assessment methodology.
                      For this development application, an extreme event consisting of; a 100-year ARI storm tide level, sea
                      level rise of 0.8 metres and a 100-year ARI significant wave height has been adopted.
