Wallis Lake Estuary Management Plan 4.6 Foreshore management M.1 Management Area A, B, C, D, E, F Management Objective Ensure a strategic and sustainable approach to all future foreshore development proposed by public and private landholders Action No M.1.1 M.1.2 M.1.3 M.1.4 M.1.5 Action Follow action 10.1 of the WLCMP to develop and implement a foreshore management plan for the Wallis Lake foreshores, estuarine islands and coastal beaches Develop and implement a Wallis Lake private jetties and foreshore structures management strategy and DCP to manage the future development of all new private pontoons, boat ramps, jetties and moorings. The DCP should outline best practice techniques for all works associated with the Wallis Lake foreshores Maintain conservation zonings on islands to ensure protection from development pressure, and ensure that only low key environmentally sustainable development occurs near foreshores and on islands eg Wallis Island, Tonys Point Island. Be aware of the unauthorised construction of foreshore structures via regular foreshore reviews and order their subjection to the Development Approval process or their removal as appropriate Continue investigations into the construction of an environmentally friendly and educational foreshore boardwalk for Pipers Creek Indicative Cost Priority Responsibilities Progress $50,000 High (B3) WLEMIC, GLC, Wallis Lake Foreshore Plan DEC, DIPNR, in progress DPI, Lands $40,000 Immediate (A2) GLC, DIPNR, Lands, DPI, Waterways Staff time Immediate (B2) GLC Ongoing $10,000 Medium (D3) Lands, GLC $200,000 Medium (D3) GLC, Lands Feasibility study completed in 2005 Comments A foreshore management plan for the Wallis Lake foreshores, estuarine islands and coastal beaches is essential to ensure protection of natural and cultural values and scenic amenity in areas of largely undisturbed foreshore in a holistic manner. Scenic amenity here is a combination of both landscape attributes and water quality. Areas of high natural and/or cultural value and/or with high scenic amenity should be identified with the community for conservation/enhancement. A protocol to assess Aboriginal sites should be included in this plan to ensure the protection of Aboriginal sites on the foreshore and immediate estuary. It is also recommended that a foreshore boardwalk along Little Street be considered in this foreshore plan of management. A Wallis Lake private jetties and foreshore structures management strategy would provide a pro-active strategic approach to assessing applications for the development of foreshore structures on an estuary-wide basis. It may involve zoning the foreshore into ‘no new approval’ areas or ‘conditional approval’ if the structure complies with any agreed management plans and meets NSW DPI and Waterways requirements for low impact environmentally friendly designs. It is recommended that this strategy consider preventing the construction of jetties that extend more than 50 m from the foreshore. Full use should be made of GLC planning instruments, the Rivers and Foreshores Improvements Act 1948, the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995, SEPP 14 and SEPP 71. 62
