City Plan code template This code template supports the preparation of a development application against either the acceptable outcome(s) or performance outcome(s) contained in the code. Development assessment rules are outlined in Section 5.3.3 of the City Plan. Please note: For assessment against the overall outcomes, refer to the appropriate code. Impact assessable development requires assessment against the strategic framework prior to using this template. Coastal erosion hazard overlay code Application This code applies to assessing material change of use, reconfiguring a lot or operational work for development subject to the Coastal erosion hazard overlay where indicated in Part 5.10 Levels of assessment – Overlays. When using this code, reference should be made to Section 5.3.2 and, where applicable, Section 5.3.3, in Part 5. Purpose The purpose of the Coastal erosion hazard overlay code is to outline the minimum requirement to reduce the exposure of development within close proximity to the ocean or waterways from the threat of erosion and provide for the maintenance of natural and engineered protection measures. Note that developers of coastal hazard zones are encouraged to consider coastal hazard reduction measures that exceed those required by this code. The purpose of the code will be achieved through the following overall outcomes: People and premises are protected from the adverse impacts of erosion and climate change. Adequate access is provided for foreshore seawall maintenance. Sand resources are protected and replenished for preservation and restoration of the city’s beaches. The hydraulic performance of waterways are maintained. The environmental values of the foreshore and the waterways are maintained and protected. The scenic amenity of waterways (including bed, banks foreshores, dunes riparian areas and ocean beaches) are protected. The bed, banks, foreshores, dunes and riparians of tidal waterways are adequately stabilised. Public access to
