Comments<br />
If signage on islands marking the location of toilets cannot be easily sighted from the waterway, installation of new larger signs should be considered.<br />

M.5.4<br />
Action<br />
Restrict vehicle access to the informal foreshore road from the end of Wharf<br />
Road to Green Point Drive, Green Point, by constructing boom gates at either<br />
end to ensure that it is accessed by approved user groups only<br />
Assess and remediate drainage problems on the eastern edge of the informal<br />
foreshore road from the end of Wharf Road to Green Point Drive, Green Point<br />
Seal the Paradise Marina car park on Little Street, Forster, to prevent erosion<br />
and the input of sediment into Breckenridge Channel<br />
Identify and prioritise areas of erosion and sediment input to the <strong>Lake</strong> and detail<br />

Comments<br />
<strong>The</strong> informal foreshore road from the end of Wharf Road to Green Point Drive was originally only intended as a walkway and to allow emergency services access to the foreshore<br />
in case of fire. Current use of this unsealed road exceeds this with a number of private vehicles using the road increasing erosion pressure and the risk of introducing weed<br />
species. Approved user groups to have access to the road may include GLC staff, Fires Brigade and the Green Point Landcare group. Additionally, the road experiences drainage<br />
problems after periods of heavy rainfall. Water tends to pool on the eastern edge of the road and becomes stagnant creating ideal conditions for mosquitos and a source of foul<br />
odours.<br />
Initial cost estimates to seal the Paradise Marina car park are $45,000 for resurfacing and $15,000 for a necessary retaining wall.<br />
