How does the State Planning Policy for Coastal Protection address private pontoons and jetties outside maritime development areas?
Applications for private pontoons or jetties may be approved in natural tidal waterways if applicants demonstrate that adverse effects on coastal resources will be avoided. Demonstrated measures include protecting ecological values and coastal landforms, and maintaining scenic amenity values and public access to the coast. Private marine access structures outside maritime development areas will generally not be approved if they require the construction of coastal protection works, such as a revetment wall, or are likely to require such works in the future. There are also requirements relating to the size of the structure, the number of structures per allotment and the placement of structures on or over State land above mean high water spring tide.
