Appendix A – Coastal hazard lines andplanning precinctsDCP 2002 Part J Coastal Erosion Lands planning precinctsreview1. Introduction1.1 Purpose of this appendixThis appendix provides background information to a series of the CZMPrecommendations with respect to review of the coastal planning precinctsand associated provisions, as documented in Byron Shire CouncilDevelopment Control Plan 2002, Part J Coastal Erosion Lands (DCP2002, Part J). These provisions operate in lands affected by coastlinehazards and these extend from the erosion escarpment to the 100 yearplanning line.DCP 2002, Part J is the current planning instrument dealing withdevelopment control in coastal areas in Byron Shire; it also establishesthe coastal planning precincts. The purpose of the coastal planningprecincts is to ensure development on lands deemed at risk fromcoastline hazards is managed in accordance with the level of riskidentified.The location and extent of the coastal planning precincts is delineated bythe coastal planning lines. The location of coastal planning lines isprincipally determined by the coastal hazard lines and also takes intoconsideration factors, such as safety and conservation buffers.Coastal hazard lines delineate the extent of the potential coastal erosion,based on scientific projections for immediate, 50 and 100 year horizons.1.2 Need for review of the DCP 2002 Part J coastal planning linesCoastal hazard lines for Byron Shire coastline were first determined onthe basis of the Hastings Point Erosion Study (PWD, 1978).In 1988, the PWD (1978) hazard lines were translated into coastalplanning lines and documented in the DCP 1 (later to become DCP 2002,Part J), part of the 1988 Byron Shire Local Environmental Plan (LEP).There were two major reviews of the coastal hazard lines since 1978(WBM, 2000; WRL 2009a). However, there was no revision to the coastalplanning lines as a result of these reviews and the original planning linesdating from 1988 are still in force.As part of the CZMP preparation, the following aspects of the DCP 2002Part J provisions have been reviewed:The adequacy of the planning lines, in light of the StateGovernment policy direction on climate change and recentreviews of the coastal hazard lines for Byron Shire

The adequacy of the development control provisions for achievingthe CZMP policy of planned retreat.2. Coastal planning precincts2.1 PurposeThe purpose of the coastal planning precincts is to:2.2 Current provisions Fully accommodate the assessed coastline hazards under a 0.9msea level rise by 2100 assumption, endorsed by the Departmentof Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) in the SeaLevel Rise Policy Statement 2009.Include a buffer zone for safety and uncertainty around future sealevel rise.Include a zone of reduced foundation capacity.Current DCP 2002 Part J provisions identify three coastal planningprecincts, based on the immediate, 50-year and 100-year coastal erosionhazard.Current DCP 2002 Part J coastal planning precincts are based on:the PWD 1978 Hastings Point Erosion Studydata that does not include sea level rise assumptionsdata that delineates the zone of possible wave impact but doesnot include a zone of reduced foundation capacity relative to thestability of development adjacent to an erosion escarpment.DCP 2002 Part J identifies development control provisions specific toeach coastal planning precinct. These provisions aim to ensure protectionof life and adequate management of the property in the event of coastalhazard eventuating.Specifically, these provisions include a prescribed trigger distance for relocation and/or demolition ofdevelopment prescribed building standards (e.g. relocatable or permanentdevelopment).As illustrated in Table A1 (below), these provisions vary in each coastalplanning precinct.

DCP 2002 Part J planning lines review – implications of thecoastal hazard lines reviews3.1 WBM (2000) Hazard lines reviewWBM made a study of coastline hazards (Byron Shire Coastline HazardDefinition Study) in 2000. The WBM (2000) hazard lines were based onthe then most current analysis of long-term coastal recession and thethen current ‘mid-range’ sea level rise projections (0.2 m rise by 2050 and0.5 m rise by 2100, relative to 1990 levels).The WBM (2000) hazard lines show the immediate impact hazard line,and hazard lines for the 50-year and 100-year planning horizons. TheWBM (2000) hazard lines only account for the coastal erosion and do notinclude a zone of reduced foundation capacity relative to the stability ofdevelopment adjacent to an erosion escarpment.

3.2 WRL (2009) Hazard lines reviewIn response to the DECCW draft Sea Level Rise Policy Statement 2009,and to inform preparation of this draft Coastal Zone Management Plan forByron Shire Coastline (CZMP), Byron Shire Council commissioned acontemporary assessment of coastal hazard lines (WRL 2009a).The WRL (2009a) assessment used the same parameters as WBM(2000) assessment with updated sea level rise projections based on thebenchmarks provided in the DECCW Sea Level Rise Policy Statement2009 (0.4 m rise by 2050 and 0.9 m rise by 2100, relative to 1990 levels).The WRL (2009a) hazard lines show the predicted immediate impacthazard line, the 2050 and 2100 hazard lines (refer to Figures A18 toA30).3.3 Zone of reduced foundation capacitySimilar to WBM (2000) hazard lines, the WRL (2009a) hazard linesdelineate the zone of wave impact and do not include a zone of reducedfoundation capacity relative to the stability of development adjacent to anerosion escarpment (refer Diagram A1, below).Diagram A1: Diagram demonstrating location of zone of reducedfoundation capacityTable A2 (below) shows the extra width required to be added to the WRL(2009a) hazard lines to reach the stable foundation zone for differentbeach compartments characterised by different dune heights.It can be seen that for dunes in the range of 5–8 m AHD (the approximateheight of dunes throughout the developed beach compartments of ByronShire), the required extra width to account for the zone of reducedfoundation capacity is 11 m to 15 m. Therefore, to determine the actualimmediate hazard area for development planning purposes, 11 m to 15 mof landward distance is required to be added to the WRL (2009a)Immediate Hazard Line.

DCP 2002 Part J coastal precinct boundaries review –operational issuesThe following considerations with respect to the DCP 2002 Part Jplanning precinct boundaries should also be highlighted: Coastal planning precinct boundaries are not aligned with theproperty boundaries, resulting in situations where differentplanning provisions apply to different sections of one property.Realignment of the planning lines to coincide with a property’scadastral boundary may resolve this confusion.

Development control provisions in Planning Precinct 2 andPlanning Precinct 3 are quite similar. Consolidating PlanningPrecinct 2 and Planning Precinct 3 into one precinct wouldsimplify application and enforcement of development consentconditions (refer to Figures A5 to A17 for a comparision of DCP2002 Part J Planning Precincts and CZMP Coastal PlanningPrecincts).5. DCP 2002 Part J trigger distances reviewThe following outlines considerations for the DCP 2002 Part J triggerdistances review.5.1 A 20-metre development free bufferMaintaining a buffer of 20 m from the erosion escarpment is critical forimplementation of the planned retreat.The development free buffer distance of 20 m is adopted in this CZMPbased on the following: accommodates a significant storm bite 1 its historical application in development consents allows maintenance of natural processes.Whilst the 20m buffer does not include a full allowance for the zone ofreduced foundation capacity and associated potential for undermining ofbuilding foundations, it does accommodate a significant storm bite, beingthe primary risk.5.2 Trigger distance for relocatable developmentCurrently, a distance 50 m from the erosion escarpment is used as atrigger to relocate development in Planning Precincts 2 and 3.This distance is considered overly conservative for development thatcould be relocated in a short period of time. As such, a trigger distance of20 m is considered more appropriate for relocatable development and isproposed to apply uniformly to all relocatable development in PlanningPrecinct 1, Planning Precinct 2 and Planning Precinct 3.Introducing a uniform trigger distance of 20 m for relocation of relocatabledevelopment is associated with a number of benefits: The reduced trigger distance would allow owners of land in thePlanning Precinct 2 and Planning Precinct 3 to occupy theirproperty for a longer period of time. The reduced trigger distance for relocatable development wouldencourage construction of modular buildings as opposed to nonrelocatable(subject to demolition) structures, which are lesspreferable in the coastal hazard areas.1Whilst not a design storm bite, the maximum measured storm bite on the open coast of NSW is 18m at Byron Bay in1989 (WRL, 2009).

6. Proposed changes to the DCP 2002 Part J coastal planningprecinct provisionsIt is recommended that the current DCP 2002, Part J provisions bemodified as follows:Maintain existing coastal planning lines, subject to regular reviewof the IPCC projections for Sea Level Rise. Retain DCP 2002, Part J Planning Precinct 1 with some minormodifications to accommodate the cadastral boundaries whereallotments are small. This precinct is hereafter referred to as‘Coastal Planning Precinct 1’ (refer to Figures A5 to A17). Combine DCP 2002, Part J Planning Precincts 2 and 3 into asingle Costal Planning Precinct. This precinct is hereafter referredto as ‘Coastal Planning Precinct 2’(refer to Figures A5 to A17).Introduce a 20-metre buffer from the erosion scarp as the triggerfor implementation of planned retreat in Coastal PlanningPrecinct 1 and Coastal Planning Precinct 2 for relocatabledevelopment.Maintain a distance 50 m from the erosion scarp as the trigger forimplementing planned retreat in Coastal Planning Precinct 2 fornon-relocatable (subject to demolition) development. Develop uniform standards for relocatable development. Thestandards are to ensure that the scale, bulk, and density ofdwellings are such that relocation of the dwelling is achievable, ascertified by a structural engineer.The following figures depict proposed Coastal Planning Precinct 1 and 2(Figure A1, Figure A2, Figure A3 and Figure A4), the Part J DCP 2002Planning Precincts 1, 2 & 3 and Coastal Planning Precinct 1 and 2(Figures A5 to A17) based on current coastal planning lines.

Draft Coastal Zone Management Plan for Byron Shire CoastlinePart C – Supporting Technical InformationAppendix CUpdated climate changeissues

Appendix C - Updated climate change issuesEffect of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007revisions on hazard linesThe Part J erosion lines were calculated before global sea level rise was understood,widely accepted and subsequently incorporated into coastal hazard planning.However, conservative, (high) long-term recession rates were incorporated into thecalculations following a stormy period. The hazard definition study (WBM, 2000) usedmore recent coastal engineering techniques and the Intergovernmental Panel onClimate Change (IPCC) sea level rise projections from 1996. The IPCC projectionshave been modified in 2001 and 2007 since the WBM (2000) study was done.Hennessy et al (2004) gave the following commentary on climate change, risk anduncertainty:The tool used to explore future climate is the climate scenario. Ascenario is a coherent, internally consistent and plausibledescription of a possible future state of the world. A scenario isnot a prediction, and has no likelihood attached beyond beingplausible. However, it is the basic building block of riskassessment approaches under climate change that usescenarios, ranges of uncertainty and probability distributionfunctions.A summary of various global sea level rise scenarios from IPCC Climate Change2007: Synthesis Report (IPCC 2007) is shown in Table C.1.Table C.1: IPCC (2007) global average sea level rise scenarios for 2090-2099.IPCC scenario or component Lower limit Upper limit Central valueStarting year 1980 1999 1990Final year 2090 2099 2095(m) (m) (m)B1 scenario 0.18 0.38 0.280A1T scenario 0.20 0.45 0.325B2 scenario 0.20 0.43 0.315A1B scenario 0.21 0.48 0.345A2 scenario 0.23 0.51 0.370A1FI scenario 0.26 0.59 0.425The IPCC publications represent the current international consensus position.Although the headline (IPCC, 2007) values appear lower, they do not include an

additional allowance for ice flow contribution. If ice flow contribution were to growlinearly with global average temperature change, IPCC (2007) suggest that the upperrange of sea level rise for the emissions scenarios shown in Table C.1 wouldincrease by 0.1–0.2 m for 2090 to 2100.Simplified engineering estimates (WRL, 2009) for global sea level rise developedfrom the IPCC (2007), as compared to NSW DECCW sea level rise benchmarks, areshown in Table C.2. The values include the (IPCC, 2007) possible additional ice meltcontribution of 0.2 m by 2090 to 2100. The IPCC (2007) publications to date onlyprovide estimates for 2100. The 2050 values are engineering estimates based oncomparable previous IPCC curves and National Committee on Coastal and OceanEngineering (NCCOE) (2004) with similar 2100 values.Table C.2: Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) (2009)sea level rise benchmarks and simplified engineering estimates of globalsea level rise (by WRL) based on IPCC (2007)ScenarioYear*2050 2100Sea level rise benchmark (DECCW, 2009) 0.4 0.9Adopted ‘mid’ range scenario (WRL,2009) 0.2 0.5Adopted ‘high’ range scenario (WRL, 2009) 0.3 0.9Note: * The IPCC 2007 publications to date only provided estimates for 2100.A comparison of simplified estimates of global sea level rise from the last three IPCCreports is shown in Table C.3. It can be seen that, to one decimal place, there hasbeen virtually no change in sea level rise projections by IPCC since between 1996and 2007, meaning that the best estimate or mid-range values used by WBM (2000)of 0.2m by 2050 and 0.5m by 2100 (relative to 1990 levels) are still valid. However,scenarios more severe than the mid are also possible.It should be noted that the Byron Shire hazard lines were revised in 2009 usinghigher sea level rise projections than WBM (2000) in accordance with the NSW SeaLevel Rise Policy Statement (DECCW, 2009) sea level rise benchmarks. The ByronShire hazard lines provide the best estimate of future coastal hazards, but are notproposed to be used as a trigger for planned retreat (refer Appendix A, Part C –Coastal Hazard Lines and Planning Precincts).Table C.3: Simplified engineering estimates of global sea level rise from each of thelast three IPCC assessment reportsScenarioIPCC publication2 nd AssessmentReport 19953 rd AssessmentReport 20014 th AssessmentReport 20072050 2100 2050 2100 2050* 2100

The benchmarks can be used forsea level rise adaptation and also for consideration when land-use planning anddevelopment decisions are made for coastal areas. The policy statement’s planningbenchmarks for sea level rise are an increase above 1990 mean sea levels of 0.4 mby 2050 and 0.9 m by 2100 (DECCW, 2009).The NSW Government will periodically review this planning benchmark, based onupdated information, such as the release of future IPCC assessment reports.The adoption of the policy and benchmarks will provide an adaptive risk-basedapproach to managing sea level rise impacts. It will provide guidance to localcouncils tosupport planningencourage appropriate development of land projected to be at risk from sealevel risecontinue to provide emergency management support to coastal communitiesduring times of flood and stormcontinue to provide updated information to the public about sea level rise andits impacts (DECCW 2009).The sea level rise planning benchmarks adopted by DECCW (2009) are based onprojections developed by Australian and International experts. A full description onthe derivation of the benchmarks is provided for in a technical note titled “Derivationof the NSW Government’s sea level rise planning benchmarks” (DECCW 2009).These benchmarks were used to determine the revised coastal hazard lines forByron Shire coastal precincts, as discussed in Appendix A, Part C – Coastal hazardlines and planning precincts.Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation2007 - report on storminess and local sea level riseThe Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) (2007)report provided coastal climate change projections for Wooli in northern NSW (andBatemans Bay in the south). The scenarios presented by CSIRO were for 2030 and2070, which differ from the 2050 and 2100 dates used in most coastal planningstudies.Storm surge levelCSIRO (2007) predicted 100 year ARI storm surges (actual water level minuspredicted tide) for Wooli and Batemans Bay. The assessment does not, however,include the barometric effects of cyclones which may elevate ocean water level in the

Byron Shire beyond that predicted for the more southern locations. Predicted 100year ARI storm surges for Wooli are shown below:Present day: 0.67 ±0.16 m2030: 0.66 ± 0.16 m with CCM2 model0.68 ± 0.17 m with CCM3 model2070: 0.65 ± 0.15 m with CCM2 model0.70 ± 0.19 m with CCM3 modelThese values show only minor (or no) increase over present levels. The WBM (2000,p108) study used a value of 0.53 m, versus 0.67 m (CSIRO 2007) for stormsurge, but WBM added this to highest astronomical tide rather than a mean springtide, so that the present day, extreme still water level of 1.63 m AHD from WBM(excluding wave set-up) is conservative. The addition of CSIRO’s storm surge of0.67 m to a mean high water spring tide (of 0.6 m AHD) would give a design extremewater level of only 1.27 m AHD. The accepted present day, 100 year ARI water levelfor the NSW coast (excluding wave set-up) is 1.5 m AHD (Haradasa et al 1990).Sea level rise and local sea levelCSIRO (2007) quoted global sea level rise of 0.18–0.59 m by 2095 (relative to 1990)with additional allowance for ice melt of 0.1–0.2 m, giving an upper limit value of0.79 m by 2095.CSIRO (2007) predicted the following local sea level changes (relative to global sealevel change) for Wooli:2030: 0–0.04 m with Mark 2 GCM model0.04–0.08 m with Mark 3 GCM model2070: 0–0.04 m with Mark 2 GCM model0.08–0.12 m with Mark 3 GCM modelIt is noted from Figure 9 of CSIRO (2007) that a decreasing trend in local sea levelnorthward of Wooli was predicted with the Mark 3 GCM model, with values aroundByron Bay in the range 0 to 0.08 m. These values are for 2070, not 2100.WRL’s simplified engineering estimate (Table C.2) is consistent with NCCOE (2004)and was derived from a slightly different interpretation of IPCC (2007) to CSIRO’sglobal values. For the high range scenario 2100, CSIRO’s upper limit of 0.79 m witha maximum local variation of 0.12 m added to give 0.91 m is virtually identical toWRL’s estimate of 0.9 m.Effects of climate change on design ocean still water levels anddesign ocean boundary (tailwater) levels for planning purposesDECCW Coastal Risk Management Guide (2009)The NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water has prepared aDraft Coastal Risk Management Guide (DECCW 2009a) that provides guidance onincorporating the NSW Government’s sea level rise benchmarks in coastal hazardassessment. The guideline includes design ocean still water levels for NSW coastal

locations subject to full ocean tidal regime as derived from extreme value analysis ofFort Dennison (Sydney) tide gauge data from 1914 to December 2008.The DECCW (2009a) design ocean water levels are presented for various annualrecurrence intervals for current day (2009), 2050 and 2100, and incorporateallowance for all components of elevated ocean water levels including tides,meteorological influences (wind and barometric pressure), and other water levelanomalies. They do not include wave set-up and wave run-up influences, or thebarometric effects of tropical cyclones which may elevate ocean water levels in theByron Shire beyond that observed from low pressure systems impacting the Sydneyregion.DECCW (2009a) design still ocean water levels do not include wave set-up due tothe potential variability in wave height and set-up dynamics between NSW coastallocations. As such, wave set-up needs to be considered on a site specific basis(Pers. comm. DECCW, 6 August 2010).DECCW Flood Risk Management Guide (2009)DECCW have prepared a Draft Flood Risk Management Guide (DECCW 2009b).The flood risk management guideline is intended to guide floodplain riskmanagement planning and flood risk assessments for new development in NSW. Theguideline recommends that for the purpose of current day hydraulic flood modelling,a 100 year ARI ocean level of 2.6m AHD be adopted (for 2009). For 2050 and 2100flood modelling and planning scenarios, the corresponding NSW sea level risebenchmark should be added to the 100 year ARI ocean boundary level (e.g. Sealevel rise of 0.4m by 2050 and 0.9m by 2100). The ocean boundary level comprisescomponents related to elevated ocean water levels, tidal anomalies and wave setup.BSC Climate Change Strategic Planning Policy 2009Byron Shire Council has developed a Climate Change Strategic Planning Policy(BSC, 2009) which includes climate change flood planning scenarios for current day,2050, and 2100. The BSC climate change flood planning scenarios were developedto guide floodplain risk management planning and flood risk assessments in theByron Shire. The scenarios project 100 year ARI ocean boundary (tailwater) levelsfor current day, 2050 and 2100, and incorporate sea level rise benchmarks asendorsed by DECCW (2009) of 0.4m (by 2050) and 0.9m (by 2100) respectively.BSC (2009) 100 year ARI ocean boundary (tailwater) level is 2.29m AHD andcomprises components of; elevated ocean water levels (storm surge); projected tideheight of 0.94m AHD (HHWSS); and wave setup. The parameters used in the BSCflood planning scenarios are to be reviewed in accordance with IPCC and DECCWrevisions of climate change parameters (refer Res 09-968, and 09-1069 Appendix B,Part C – Byron Shire Council resolutions that relate to coastal hazard management).The intent of the DECCW (2009a) design ocean still water level analysis is to provideindicative still water levels, over varying annual recurrence intervals, for the purposeof coastline hazards risk assessment (e.g. erosion and inundation). The DECCW

(2009b) and BSC (2009) design ocean boundary (tailwater) levels are intended foruse in floodplain risk management planning and assessment.A comparison of DECCW (2009a) 100 year ARI still ocean water levels for NSW, andthe BSC flood planning 100 year ARI tail-water levels are shown in Table C.4.Table C.4:100 year ARI still ocean water level estimates and calculated 100 year ARItail water condition (BSC) for current day, 2050 and 2100 planninghorizons incorporating DECCW (2009) sea level rise benchmarks.DECCW design stillocean water level(DECCW. 2009a)Byron Shire CouncilFlood PlanningScenarios (BSC,2009)100 yearARI designstill oceanwater level -2009(m AHD)100 year ARIdesign stillocean waterlevel - 2050(m AHD)100 year ARIdesign stillocean waterlevel - 2100(m AHD)Waveset-up(m)1.435 1.775 2.275 n/a n/a100 year ARIdesign tailwater level(m AHD)1.84 2.44 3.04 0.45 2010 = 2.292050 = 2.892100 = 3.49A comparison of DECCW (2009b) 100 year ARI ocean boundary condition (tailwaterlevel) and the Byron Shire Council (2009) 100 year ARI tailwater condition isprovided in Table C.5.Table C.5: 100 year ARI ocean boundary (tail water) conditions for current day, 2050and 2100 planning horizons incorporating DECCW (2009) sea level risebenchmarks.DECCW 100 year ARI ocean boundarylevel (2009b)BSC 100 year ARI ocean boundary(tailwater) level (2010)2009(m AHD)2050(m AHD)2100(m AHD)2.6 3.0 3.52.29 2.89 3.49DECCW design still ocean water levels (2009a), design ocean boundary conditions(2009b) and any revisions from CSIRO 100 year ARI storm surge predictions (forWooli) should be considered when reviewing both the adopted Byron Shire CouncilClimate Change Flood Planning Scenarios (BSC 2009) and the Byron ShireCoastline Hazard Definition Study (WBM 2000). This recommendation is inaccordance with Management Action 2.1.4 and 8.5.1 (Part A, Section 5) of thisCZMP.

Climate Change Risks to Australia’s Coast – A first pass nationalassessmentOn 14 November 2009 the Australian Government Department of Climate Changereleased a report on the findings of the first national assessment of the risks ofclimate change for the whole of Australia’s coastal zone. The first pass nationalassessment of Climate Change Risks to Australia’s Coast (DCC, 2009) focuses onrisks to settlements and infrastructure, ecosystems and industries in the coastalzone.The assessment adopts a 2100 sea level rise scenario (relative to 1990 levels) of1.1m for the purpose of risk assessment. The report notes that the purpose of therisk assessment is to provide an indication of the magnitude and spread of risk froma plausible ‘worst case’ scenario over the longer term.The NSW Governments Sea Level Rise Policy Statement (DECCW, 2009) endorsesa sea level rise benchmark of 0.9m (relative to 1990 levels) by 2100. Whilst this is20cm below the 1.1m sea level rise value used by DCC (2009) in its first passnational assessment, the objectives for use of both the state and federal benchmarksare differing. The DCC (2009) 2100 sea level rise benchmark of 1.1m is considered aplausible worst case scenario for risk assessment, not an endorsed benchmark foruse in planning based risk assessment, as is the case for the NSW sea level riseplanning benchmark.Effect of local sea level increase on hazard linesWRL (2009a) provides an update of the hazard lines determined from the ByronShire Coastline Hazard Definition Study (WBM, 2000, 2002). This update adopted allassumptions used by WBM but utilised the sea level rise benchmarks from the NSWGovernment’s Sea Level Rise Policy Statement.The WRL (2009a) work confirmed that if the assumptions of WBM are applied withthe NSW Government’s sea level rise benchmarks, then the WBM hazard lineswould move landward by the distances shown in Table C.6.Table C.6:Landward transgression of the WBM (2000, 2002) hazard linesYear Sea Level Rise(m)Landward Transgression of the WBM HazardLines(m)Tallow Beach Belongil New Brighton2050 0.4 10 14 112100 0.9 20 28 22The revised coastal hazard lines are shown in Appendix A, Part C (Figures A1, A2and A3 and larger scale Figures A4 to A16).

Beach Scraping at New Brighton and South Golden BeachCommunity Meeting MinutesOn the 4 th September 2007 Byron Shire Council in collaboration with the projectconsultants Parsons Brinkerhoff, held community meetings at Ocean ShoresCommunity Centre and at South Golden Beach Community Hall. The purpose ofthe meetings was to inform the community about beach scraping, to find out from thecommunity about the project area, and to address any questions the community mayhave about beach scraping.The meetings were run as a general discussion and several questions (Q) wereraised, for which answers (A) were provided from the project consultants (ParsonsBrinkerhoff): please see below.Ocean Shores Community Centre Meeting- 4 th September 2007Q: I remember that in the past beach scraping was unsuccessful and we don’t wantthe dune vegetation to be damaged.A: Our study will look at cost benefit analysis and the amount of sand available, alsobeach scraping will not destroy the vegetation.A: It was successful (public response).A: Spinifex which is on the fore dune can be covered and it will reappear (publicresponse).Q: Is there enough sand already on the beach to be able to continue beach scrapingin the future?A: The study will look at this.Q: What about sand drift? Will the removal of sand from the beach prevent sand fromdepositing on the beach in the future?A: Beach scraping will affect the near shore and offshore processes because beachscraping will accelerate the natural sand deposit process, but there shouldn’t be anylong term effects.Q: During a storm how big does the dune need to be to protect development?A: At least 50 metres for a 100 yr storm event.Q: Doesn’t the vegetation help trap the sand and stabilise the dunes?A: It does but during storm events the vegetation cannot protect the dunes.Q: What about the illegal beach accesses?A: This is not really the scope of this project, the Byron Coastline Management Planthat is currently being prepared will cover this issue.Q: What is the environmental assessment?A: It looks at this stage to be a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) as opposedto an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). We think that there will not be asignificant impact, however, it will also depend on who will be the determiningauthority. It may be a joint approval process with Council and other governmentdepartments. An EIA is more costly than a REF because an EIA involves more indepth information and therefore, takes longer to prepare than an REF.

A (from State Government representative): In about 2002 Council used beachscraping at Belongil Beach to make new Geotextile sand bags. The assessment wasan REF.General comments from community members: It has been noticed that south of the rocks the dunes are in fairly goodcondition, but up north the dunes are bad. People are making the sand dunes their own private space and are clearingthe dune vegetation for ocean views, erecting fences, placing tables andchairs on the dunes and making their own illegal tracks to the beach. Dune Care does not work on the mentioned above areas because theresidents don’t care and just pull out, or tread on, the new plants, and removelarge old trees and shrubs.South Golden Beach Community Hall Meeting- 4 th September 2007Q: Will the sand smother the present dune vegetation?A: This study will look at how the vegetation might cope, and will identify the bestway to carryout the beach scraping without causing significant damage to the floraand fauna. For example, determine how much sand can be put onto the vegetationwithout significantly harming it, or if it is best to put the sand near the dunes and letthe wind slowly blow it on to the dunes in a more natural process etc.Q: What about the marine fauna? Because in the past all living on the beach gotpushed onto the new dune and there was no pipes or worm etc. left on the beach.A: The study will look at the potential impacts on marine fauna and we will try andwork out what is the best depth of sand that can be taken without causing asignificant impact, e.g. 100-200mm off the beach as apposed to 0.5 – 1m.Q: Will beach scraping occur at South Golden Beach just because it will occur atNew Brighton? South Golden Beach seems to have its own natural cycle of thedunes washing away and then recovering again by its self.A: South Golden Beach will be assessed on its own. It will not be done only if NewBrighton is, it will be done if it is required. From the preliminary investigations there iscurrently enough of a dune system to protect dwellings and the road from short termstorm damage.Q: If you take the sand from below the water won’t it leave a big hole and then thenatural sand process will result in sand from the beach filling in the hole?A: Yes, this is a natural process, but the sand being put onto the dunes will not betaken from below the water, and the sand should only disappear if a big stormoccurs. But it is natural for some sand to get washed back into the ocean during astorm.Q: How often would beach scraping need to be conducted?A: It depends on natural processes. It may be whenever it is needed. How often cannot be predicted because the frequency of storms can not be predicted.Q: Are you going to assess the short term variation of the beach? For example, thebeach can change from being 5m of beach to 20m of beach, in a short space of time.A: Data is collected and assessed every 2 years by taking new aerial photographs.So there is already substantial data of the present conditions and their will be for afterthe beach scraping.Q: What kind of recovery period for marine fauna would you be looking for?

A: We will put in a monitoring program after doing an environmental assessment.However, the most recent studies on the impact of beach scraping on marine faunashow that beach scraping does not have a significant impact on marine fauna. Theyare already so adapted to living in conditions where they are moved around all thetime and often violently during storms and big seas. If we need to cover somevegetation we will revegetate the dunes.Q: We have a huge pipi population and nesting turtles, will they be affected?A: The studies indicate that beach scraping should not significantly impact marinefauna and we will ensure that it doesn’t, this may mean only taking small depths ofsand off the beach or trying to do it when pipis are not around. We will not beaffecting turtle or Little Tern nesting areas, we will be contacting National Parks andWildlife Service to find out what areas on the beach are important for marine fauna.We also will not being carrying out the beach scraping during nesting seasons andbreeding seasons, or during storm seasons.Q: Once this environmental assessment and beach scraping has been completed,does this mean that this process is locked in and Council can carry out beachscraping whenever they want in the future?A: No, each time Council wants to do beach scraping on this beach they need to gothrough the whole environmental assessment and approval process.Q: Does Council have to do a DA to conduct the beach scraping?A: They have to go through an environmental assessment and approval process.Depending on the impacts and stakeholders they may need to get approval frominternal at Council and other Government Departments. A Review of EnvironmentalFactors is not public exhibited because an REF means that there will be nosignificant impacts. But it still needs approval. If an Environmental ImpactAssessment is required then this document will be publicly exhibited and you will beable to send in a submission.Q: Can you suggest in your environmental assessment for Council to remove someof the rock wall?A: Council currently has a coastline management plan being prepared, it will coverthose type of issues.Q: In your handout in the background notes it says that beach scraping isn’t a longterm solution, beach nourishment is.A: Beach scraping is moving existing sand on the beach to form the dunes. Beachnourishment is bringing sand onto the beach from somewhere else to form thedunes; it is adding sand onto the beach.Q: If you remove the sand won’t you be making the beach steeper and thereforecreating bigger waves and more erosion?A: We are not going to be taking a metre depth of sand off the beach. It will beapproximately 0.5m at the most. So it will be a very small increase in incline and itwill not be taken from the water so there will be no impact on wave formation andintensity. Beach Scraping will most likely flatten the beach (depending on the currentformation of the beach).Q: Where will you be creating the new dunes? On the existing dune systems or infront?A: Traditionally it is on or near the existing dunes to create a gradual incline. We willnot be creating big steep dunes or covering all the dune vegetation.

Q: Isn’t this (beach scraping) creating a false sense of security for the community?A: No, it is giving more protection to the community’s houses. It may not be a longterm solution, depending on climate change and sea level rise, you may need toretreat, but it may give you more time.General comments from community members: Last time beach scraping was done, it was done in a way that made thebeach wider and there was no real impact on the beach, the beach evenappeared to cope better in storms. In the past beach scraping at New Brighton has worked really well. The sanddid get pushed onto the grass, but it always grew back. The sand mining in the past took the original dunes, it was completelyflattened. This project is just trying to put the dunes back to their originalstate.

Background to Native Title claim and Indigenous LandUse AgreementsThe following documents a timeline with respect to key agreementsbetween the Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) people, New SouthWales Government and Byron Shire Council.Native Title claims lodged, 1995, 1997, 2001The Bundjalung People of Byron Bay lodged three Native Title claims(1995, 1997 and 2001) seeking recognition of their native title rights andinterests in various areas of Crown land, beaches and coastal waters inand around Byron Bay, as far north as Brunswick Heads, as far south asBroken Head, westward to Mullumbimby and Bangalow andapproximately three nautical miles east of the mean high water mark.Native Title Agreement, 1997In April 1997, a Native Title agreement between the State Governmentand the Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) people created the CapeByron Trust and a State Recreational Area. The Trust includesrepresentatives from the Bundjalung People of Byron Bay to ensureAboriginal people play a role in decision making on the care, control andmanagement of Cape Byron State Recreation Area.The Heads of Agreement, 1998The Heads of Agreement signed in 1998 between the Bundjalung ofByron Bay (Arakwal) and the Byron Shire Council, set out a frameworkfor ongoing consultation. It formalised the role of the Byron Shire CouncilAboriginal Advisory Committee, which made recommendations onstrategic plans for the Byron Shire. The committee also ensured theBundjalung of Byron Bay was involved in the management and protectionof culturally significant places within the Shire.The Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA), 2001The Indigenous Land Use Agreement registered with National NativeTitle Tribunal in 2001 saw the creation of the Arakwal National Parkwhich is a joint managed Park between the State Government and theBundjalung (Arakwal) People, with employment, training and comanagementopportunities created for the native title claimants (referMap1–ILUAmap).ILUA 2, 2003ILUA 2 was registered in 2003 and the parties agreed to:a Native Title claim by the Bundjalung (Arakwal ) People over land inthe Sandhills Estate Byron Baythe transfer of a parcel of land in the Sandhills Estate to Byron ShireCouncil for a new library in exchange for land at Taylors LakeCouncil handing over the management of Broken Head CrownCaravan Park to the Arakwal Bundjalung people

the Minister agreeing to transfer the title of the Broken Head Crowncaravan park to the Bundjalung (Arakwal) People.ILUA 3, 2006ILUA 3 was registered in 2006 being a former section of the ILUA 2agreement:that Council owned Land at Taylors Lake be acquired by the Ministerfor reserving under the National Parks and Wildlife Act in recognitionof cultural importance to the Bundjalung (Arakwal) people as a sacredarea for women (refer Map 2 – ILUA 2 map (Taylors Lake)).In November 2008, Byron Shire Council resolved (resolution 08-726)that Council authorise the General Manager to attach the Council seal toall documents necessary to effect the transfer of Lot 4 in DP830202 fromCouncil to Minister Administering National Parks and Wildlife, and assuch to effect the ILUA 3.Source: National Native Title Tribunal Media Release 20 March 2008http://www.nntt.gov.au/media/1170898567_6180.html

The Act encouragesthe improvement in condition of existing native vegetation, and preventsinappropriate clearing of vegetation.Marine Parks Act 1997 and Fisheries Management Act 1994The Marine Parks Act 1997 provides a management framework for the conservationof marine biological diversity and marine habitats by declaring and providing for themanagement of a comprehensive system of marine parks.The Fisheries Management Act 1994 provides a management framework toconserve, develop and share the fishery resources of the New South Wales for thebenefit of present and future generationsEnvironmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979Planning and development in New South Wales is carried out under theEnvironmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) and EnvironmentalPlanning and Assessment Regulation 2000.The EP&A Act 1979 sets objectives thatencourage appropriate management, development and conservation of theenvironment through principles for Ecological Sustainable Development (ESD). Itfosters shared responsibility for environmental planning between the different levelsof government in the State, and aims to provide increased opportunity for publicinvolvement and participation.Coastal Protection Act 1979The Coastal Protection Act 1979 regulates the use and occupation within, as well asthe protection of, the NSW Coastal Zone.The Coastal Protection Act 1979 sets objectives that encourage the protection of theNSW coastal environment through ESD principles. It aims to recognise and fosterthe significant social and economic benefits of a healthy coastal zone to the State,and ensure public pedestrian access to foreshore areas. The Act facilitates theintegration of management activities between different levels of, and departmentswithin, Government.The Act contains provisions with respect to CZMP preparation, approval by theMinister, and enforcement of CZMP provisions (Part A, Divisions 1 and 2).Local Government Act 1993The Local Government Act 1993 provides a legal framework for an effective,efficient, environmentally responsible and open system, of local government in NewSouth Wales.Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995The Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 provides a legislative framework forthe conservation of biological diversity and promotion of ecologically sustainabledevelopment. The Act seeks to prevent the extinction and promote the recovery ofthreatened species, populations, habitat and ecological communities.

Appendix E – Legislation and Policy FrameworkSubject to Byron Shire Council’s policy regarding Planned Retreat2. State policyCoastal Hazards Policy 1979The primary objective of the Coastline Hazard Policy is to reduce the impact ofcoastline hazards on individual owners and occupiers of coastal lands, and toreduce private and public losses resulting from such hazards.Coastal Policy 1997The Coastal Policy has as its central focus the ecologically sustainable development(ESD) of the NSW coastline. The Coastal Policy is based on four principles of ESD:conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrityinter-generational equityimproved valuation, pricing and incentive mechanisms for environmental andsocial equity considerationsthe precautionary principle.Based on these principles, the Coastal Policy establishes nine goals for planningand management of the coastline.The Coastal Policy is a prescribed matter pursuant to Section 90(1)(s) of theEnvironment Planning and Assessment Act. This means that local governmentsneed to have regard to relevant provisions in the policy when assessingdevelopment applications.In addition, the Coastal Policy, through Section 117 Direction, has a requirement forlocal environmental plans (LEPs) to include provisions that give effect to, and areconsistent with, the Coastal Policy.As such, provisions of a CZMP prepared in accordance with the Coastal Policy arerequired to be reflected in the LEP.State Environmental Planning Policy 14 (SEPP14) – Coastal wetlandsSEPP14 protects mapped wetlands in the NSW coastal zone (outside of the Sydneymetropolitan region) for environmental and economic interests of the state. It is arequirement under this SEPP that development consent be sought for the clearing,draining or filling of wetlands or levee construction.State Environmental Planning Policy 71 (SEPP 71) – Coastal protectionSEPP71 protects and manages the natural, cultural, recreational and economicattributes of the New South Wales coast. The policy encourages a strategicapproach to coastal planning.State Environmental Policy 26 (SEPP 26) – Littoral rainforestsSEPP26 protects littoral rainforest areas within NSW. It provides a mechanism forthe consideration of applicable development that is likely to damage or destroylittoral rainforest areas.North Coast Regional Environmental PlanThe SEPP aims to protect natural areas, wildlife corridors and habitats, and scenicareas.The SEPP objectives in relation to coastal environment are to:enhance the visual quality of the coastal environmentprovide for the appropriate recreational use of beaches

Appendix E – Legislation and Policy FrameworkSubject to Byron Shire Council’s policy regarding Planned Retreat3.2 State frameworkNorthern Rivers Catchment Action Plan 2004The Northern Rivers Catchment Action Plan (CAP) is a 10-year statutory,non-regulatory, plan developed by the community and the NorthernRivers CMA that was approved for implementation by the NSWGovernment in 2004.The Coastal Management program is one of five natural resource themescontained in the Northern Rivers CAP. The theme focuses on a single,aspirational, Resource Condition Target (RCT):“By 2016 there is an improvement in the condition of Coastal Zonenatural resources.”The intent of the Coastal Management Program is to deliver on this targetby improving the condition of coastal zone natural resources. Theprogram focuses on the land-sea interface, incorporating three mainlandscapes: the coastal fringe, including beaches, coastal dunes, andheadlands; estuaries, including coastal creeks, lakes and lagoons; andislands.The program supports the preparation of natural resource managementplans, and implementation of on-ground works priorities within theseplans, which contribute to this intent.The program provides financial assistance through investment intoprojects conducted by various land use managers.3.3 Local frameworkByron Shire Council’s operations rely on a number of managementdocuments and land-use planning instruments. The CZMP should link tothese documents in order to ensure the coastline management isconsistent with BSC’s major planning instruments and is supportedthrough all its management operations.Council’s major planning instruments are outlined below.Byron Local Environmental Plan 1988The Byron Local Environmental Plan (Byron LEP) aims to promotesustainable development in Byron by furthering the objectives of theEnvironmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The objectives of theByron LEP are: to enhance individual and community social and economic well-beingin the context of economic development that safeguards the welfareof future generations to facilitate equity within and between generations to protect biodiversity and re-establish and enhance essentialecological processes.As mentioned above, the LEP is required to be consistent with theobjectives and policy direction of the REP and the NSW Coastal Policy1997.

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 1.1. INTRODUCTIONThis report addresses options for the Jonson Street protection works as part of the ByronShire Coastline Management Plan.The present rock wall at the end of Jonson Street was built in the early 1960s (c1962,Figure 1.1) and provides protection to the memorial pool and car park. To the north-west, itprovides some protection to First Sun Caravan Park, however, its longshore extent(approximately 350 m) is insufficient to fully protect the caravan park. Furthermore, to thesouth-east there is some rock protection fronting the surf life saving club, however, it doesnot constitute a functioning seawall, and again, its longshore extent is insufficient to fullyprotect the surf club.Byron Shire Council (BSC) has committed to protecting the town centre by retention of theJonson Street rock works, however, BSC may not be responsible for funding such works.The present seawall is degraded and does not meet contemporary engineering standards.The present seawall needs to be upgraded to contemporary engineering standards andintegrated with landscaping upgrades involving the existing car park.D R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 2.2. DESIGN CONDITIONSTypical existing profiles obtained from the 2004 photogrammetry show that the existingseawall has a crest level in the car park of approximately 4.5 to 5 m AHD. Theembankment is much higher than this in First Sun Caravan Park (to approximately 9 mAHD). Ground levels around the memorial pool are typically 6 m AHD and drop againtowards the town centre. The upper portion of the existing seawall (crest down to +2 to +1m AHD) has a typical slope of 1V:1.5H to 1V:1.7H. The lower portion (from about +2 mAHD down to 0 to -1 m AHD) has a flatter gradient due to armour movement anddegradation, giving overall typical structure slopes between about +5 and -1 m AHD of1V:2.5H to 1V:3H. For preliminary design of an upgraded rock seawall, a gradient of1V:2H has been used.The conditions used for preliminary design are shown in Table 2.1. These are for theconcept design only and should be reviewed at detailed design stage. The detailed designshould be optimised with a physical model test.An engineering rule of thumb for seawalls at the back of beaches in NSW is to design for ascour level of -1 m AHD. However, the Byron town centre seawall protrudes furtherseaward than seawalls at the back of beaches (it is not at the “back” of a beach).Photogrammetry cannot extend out to levels below approximately 0 to -1 m AHD, socannot be used to determine extreme historical scour levels seaward of the existing seawall.The photogrammetry from 2004 indicates a toe level of approximately -1 m AHD. Asshown in Table 2.1, an estimate of -2 m AHD has been used for a design scour level, whichshould be refined with a review of historical bathymetric surveys and/or erosion modellingsuch as SBEACH.D R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 4.3. CONCEPT DESIGNS3.1 OptionsTwo options are presented below, namely:An upgraded seawall with rock or concrete armourA stepped concrete seawall.It is envisaged that the current 350 m crest length would be extended to approximately 450to 500 m in order to protect fully the surf life saving club and First Sun Caravan Park, and asmoother alignment be adopted. Both options would incorporate a high quality ramp fromthe surf club to allow access onto the beach for lifesaving equipment and disabled people.The design would need to integrate the seawall and ramp structures with the surroundinglandscape to provide a focal point for the town centre’s beach.3.2 Upgraded Seawall – with Rock or Concrete ArmourThe existing rock works would be regraded, a proper toe formed, and two layers of properlysized basalt (density of 2700 kg/m 3 ) rock armour would be placed over the existing wall (ornew underlayer where needed) as shown in Figure 3.1. Preliminary calculations indicatethe rock armour would need to be in the range 8 to 19 tonnes (1.4 to 1.9 m cube sideequivalent) subject to detailed design. Detailed design optimisation should involvephysical model testing (Figure 3.2). Rock of this size may not be economically attainable,so consideration should also be given to precast concrete units. Examples of possible unitsinclude Seabees (Figure 3.1) and Ecopodes® (Figure 3.1) should the rock design processfind that rock procurement is uneconomical. An alternative may be the use of smaller rockat flatter slopes.Rock or armour of this size and slope would be dangerous for the public to walk over, soconsideration should be given to restricting or discouraging access, or incorporatingsuitable warning signs. Costs, advantages and disadvantages for the rock seawall option incomparison with a stepped concrete seawall are summarised in Table 3.1.Preliminary calculations indicate that if the crest level of the new seawall is kept similar tothe present one, major overtopping would occur during large storm wave events. A wavereturn wall (Figure 3.2) would reduce this, but is unlikely to remove the risk altogether.D R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 5.The optimisation of the wave return wall would need to be undertaken using a physicalmodel study.3.3 New Concrete SeawallAn example of a stepped concrete seawall is shown in Figure 3.1. As with the rockseawall, preliminary calculations indicate that if the crest level of the new seawall is keptsimilar to the present one, major overtopping would occur during large storm wave events.Furthermore, the lower portions of the wall would be subject to regular wave impacts,should these areas be accessible to the public.A concrete wall has the advantages of occupying less space and providing additionalseating and useable public space.3.4 Comparison of AlternativesCosts, advantages and disadvantages for both seawall options are summarised in Table 3.1.D R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 7.3.5 Additional Studies NeededThe following additional studies would be needed:Develop the design of the two options and integrate with a landscape plan.Investigate the effectiveness of the spur groyne(s) in considering their removal.Detailed investigation of alongshore impacts through modelling and data analysis.Selection of preferred option.Detailed design of preferred option including inundation potential and physical modeltesting.Some preliminary values for some of these factors are presented in the next section.D R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 8.4. IMPACTS OF PROTECTION WORKS4.1 List of Physical ImpactsThe following list summarises the main impacts of properly engineered future protectiveworks. The present protective works perform this to some extent, but do not have sufficientalongshore extent, and are not properly engineered to guarantee performance.Protection of the town centre, surf life saving club, memorial pool and First SunCaravan Park.Stabilisation of main beach to the south-east.Additional erosion of the beach to the north-west (see following Section).Overtopping and inundation during large storm events.4.2 Beach PlanformThe following techniques are available for assessing the downdrift effects of a structure onthe planform of a littoral drift coast: The desktop technique of Komar and McDougal (1988).An analysis of available survey data to examine this effect.Numerical modelling through programs such as GENESIS, LITPAK and UNIBEST.Physical modelling in a wave basin, though it is noted that sediment transport modellingis subject to scale effects.A combination of all four techniques would provide the best insight into this complexproblem. It is generally accepted that the Jonson Street protection works do have someimpact on the planform of the beach to the north-west, but it is not known what thenorthward extent of this is.WBM (2000) found increased long term recession to the north-west of the Jonson Streetworks. They noted the recession was higher for the area up to 1 km north-west of JonsonStreet and was lower in the area 1 to 2 km north-west of Jonson Street. Their main analysisinvolved averaging in these 1 km blocks and was not focussed on quantifying thealongshore extent of the effects of the Jonson Street works. They noted the complexity ofdefining shoreline recession rates with the presence of disjointed protection works.D R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 9.As stated above, the current seawall has an alongshore extent (L) of approximately 350 m.Application of the principles of Komar and McDougal (1988) indicates that the downdrifterosion effects (to the north-west) of the current seawall (ignoring the small spur groyne)extend for 0.7 L, that is, approximately 250 m (Figure 4.1).If the seawall was extended to a total length of 500 m, then the downdrift erosion effects aspredicted by Komar and McDougal (1988) would be 350 m, which is only approximatelyone third of the downdrift distance to the nearest direct beachfront property in BorderStreet. This answer is a first approximation using a single desktop technique and wouldrequire the additional studies listed above before it could be accepted. A more detailedstudy of the downdrift erosion would also be necessary if the risk to the railway corridorwas considered to be important.4.3 Wave OvertoppingIt is not considered feasible to raise ground levels behind the wall. Subject to the detaileddesign of the seawall, inundation of areas behind the wall needs to be considered in futureplanning. Similarly, the hazard due to wave overtopping for people and/or vehicles needsto be assessed. This could be managed through:Educational signage.Permanent exclusion of people from certain areas.Temporary exclusion of people from certain areas during major storm events (withforecasting or on a reactive basis).Engineering design of overtopping barriers.4.4 Performance Measures of Protection WorksThe following performance measures would apply to the protection works:Preservation of protected assets – that the protected assets are not damaged througherosion or wave impacts for the design condition. An annual condition index report (Oliver et al, 1998) would give a score (out of 100)for the upgraded seawall, so that its fitness for purpose could be confirmed, and anydeterioration over time could be tracked.Subject to a risk assessment and detailed design for allowable overtopping, aperformance measure should be the absence of injury to people or damage to vehiclesor property due to wave overtopping -or that where such incidents occur, individualsD R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09

WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 2009/13 11.5. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSByron Shire Council has committed to protecting the town centre by retention of the JonsonStreet rock works, however, BSC may not be responsible for funding such works. Thepresent seawall is degraded and does not meet contemporary engineering standards. Thepresent seawall needs to be upgraded to contemporary engineering standards and integratedwith landscaping upgrades involving the existing car park.Two options are presented, namely:An upgraded seawall with rock or concrete armour.A stepped concrete seawall.Both options are technically feasible. There are advantages and disadvantages in each.An armour seawall has the advantages of greater flexibility and generally lower cost.A stepped concrete seawall has the advantages of occupying less space and potentiallyproviding useable public space subject to wave and water level conditions.The following additional studies would be needed:Develop the design of the two options and integrate with a landscape plan.Investigate the effectiveness of the spur groyne(s) in considering their removal.Detailed investigation of alongshore impacts through modelling and data analysis.Selection of preferred option.D R A F T R E V I S I O N 1 12/6/09
