states that the lagoon/wave pool is for the use of guests of the dwelling only, and is not proposed
to be opened up to the general public for use.
The applicant advises that the dwelling will accommodate up to 12 people at a time and there will
be a maximum of 12 people permitted on the site at any time. It is noted however that the
dwelling is two bedrooms only.
The application material did not include detailed design plans specific to the proposed design of
the wave pool for assessment, rather plans for ‘a similar designed lagoon’ were lodged with the
application material.
The application material states that the lagoon/wave pool will initially be filled by rainfall and
supplemented by water tanker, with the pool levels to be maintained via two 280,000 litre water
tanks (one to top up the lagoon/ wave pool, one for overflow to drain in to). The pool will vary in
depth from 0 metres to 1.5 metres, and is proposed to be contained within walls approximately
2.0 metres in height in order to retain the proposed wave. The facility will also be fenced as per
the requirements for pool fencing under the Building Act.
