Change to Jetty OPW18-0150 - Planning Report

and improve access to and from a moored vessel.

The proposed change to the existing approved jetty is negligible in the sense that the floating fender
which adjoins the southern face of the jetty is 650mm wide. With an approved length of 12 meters, the
addition of 650mm represents an increase of 5.4% increase. The design of the fenders allows for sufficient
area to accommodate the mooring of a vessel against the fender whilst still maintaining safe and clear
access to the navigator corridor of the canal.

3.2 Jet ski Dry Storage Pontoon

A jet ski dry storage pontoon is proposed to the inside of the jetty. The pontoon is 3.5 metres square and
accommodates two jet skis. The location of the jet ski pontoon permits the safe storage of watercraft as
to not encroach upon the canal’s navigation corridor.

3.3 Kayak Step

A kayak step is proposed to the western side of the jetty, forward of the boat fender. Steps to the eastern
side (internal) of the jetty were included in the approved plans. These have been relocated to the external
side to assist in accessing the water from the jetty. The proposed relocated steps are the same width as
the floating boat fender and therefore do not intrude upon the canal or the operation of adjoining
properties.
