Does maritime development include private pontoons and jetties?
Pontoons or jetties providing access to private land abutting a natural tidal waterway constitute maritime development. The Draft State Planning Policy Coastal Protection (Draft SPP) includes specific provisions about this type of development where it is proposed to occur outside a maritime development area.
Pontoons or jetties providing access to private land abutting a natural tidal waterway constitute minor maritime development. The State Planning Policy for Coastal Protection (SPP) includes specific provisions about this type of development where it is proposed to occur outside a maritime development area. Other private structures over tidal waters, such as roofed decks that do not provide access and are outside maritime development areas, are generally not supported under the SPP.
