Decision details

The Service Delivery Manager presented an encroachment application for the removal of one floating jetty, extending and altering the two remaining jetties with the addition of finger jetties to increase the berthing capacity from 24 to 36 berths. The two jetties would measure 44 metres and 32.5 metres respectively with a 1.8 metre walkway and include thirteen finger jetties with lengths between 6 and 12 metres. The overall encroachment would be increased from 185 metres²  to 307.9 metres² which would be confirmed by the assets team upon completion. The jetties would be manufactured off site from galvanised steel and treated hardwood non-slip decking.

A detailed survey had been carried out to identify any impacts on the navigation channel and adjacent mooring field including three swinging moorings being moved to the western edge of the mooring field with customers being fully consulted.

RESOLVED – That authority be delegated to the Director of Customer and Commercial Services to grant permission, subject to the completion of a new commercial encroachment agreement for the following:-

(1)        to remove one floating jetty; and

(2)        to extend and alter the two remaining floating jetties.
