At the rear or canal side of the property there is a masonry retaining wall behind the house. In
front of the retaining wall is a grassed area leading down to the canal edged with larger rocks.
There is an existing finger jetty and a small concrete boat ramp, predominantly on the freehold
property on the south-eastern edge of the property. Figure 5 below shows the existing foreshore.

4.2 MARITIME AMENITY OF THE AREA


The property is located on the eastern end of Mossman Court. The DSDMIP mapping facility
identifies the property as not being within a high-risk maritime development zone.

The canal area of Mossman Court and Witta Circle is highly populated with marine structures and
the jetty proposed is in keeping with this amenity. See Figure 7.
