Last Wave inalways team up with surf buddies to safely exit yer local Seachange Monstrosity. These very costly bandaids never work and continue to fail while extending the problem to adjacent properties that don't have the wall. Nah, buybacks don't put the properties back onto the market, they're acquired by the council at market rates and then emptied, returned to parkland and foredune, both a buffer against storm action. Unlike other approaches like soft beach nourishment, they offer a long term solution to shoreline erosion. You wouldn't accept that in a bridge from an engineer, so why accept it in anything else? Records show the DA for the Collaroy Seawall had been lodged 18 months earlier in July 2018. Sure, but wowee regarding that huge backwash and wave entering back into the surf zone. . Our timber guide wall formwork is not only reusable and 100% recyclable, it also prevents dangerous polystyrene fragments from entering the ecosystem. If anyone used it and saw the second DA let me know. From the last set of minutes from the Wamberal Seawall advisory Taskforce Nov 18 2021. From their perspective building the wall before further erosion took place and moved closer to the road was another advantage as was disregarding the impact on the beach for a potentially more permanent solution. Hey BD. The Palm Beach artificial reef is now completed. Indeed. Seawalls have the inevitable effect of reflecting and concentrating wave energy and accelerating erosion. This would be a better solution, I think. That video represents a nightmare scenario, no beach, no waves and similar to Zen's story ie man made interference gone wrong. Its brutalist engineering, says Gordon frankly. It would be possible to introduce a major sand nourishment program to move the shoreline seaward, says Gordon. And please take a look at all the other ridicules things Coastal engineers are doing around this country so you can see the pattern of incompetence I am referring to. And cap prices for market value pre 2000. Therefore, the group of Narrabeen and Collaroy residents are not successful in addressing the issue of coastal erosion. Council and State Government contribute 10% each. we all end up paying for it directly if we haven't already e.g. Surely, private properties can be protected but public amenities will require huge ongoing costs to keep up with the public requirement (sand nourishment is the first thing that comes to mind). Their ultimate solution was a combination of 3 things- a rock boulder seawall buried in the dunes as a final line of defense in extreme erosion events to protect private properties behind (this seawall actually runs for the full extent of the Gold Coast nth beaches but is rarely seen as it is completely buried under dunes/vege), an offshore reef, also rock boulders, to attenuate wave energy under normal conditions thus widening the beach in its lee, and lastly- sand nourishment, adding more sand to the beach system. Hence, they are of no market value to me. If you are referring to Vertical hard structures then that needs to be specified). Just like when the stock price of a company increases because of a speculated takeover bid. "There's no sense at all in building something like this from an engineering perspective. Granted the Reality series and Aero are ludicrously expensive at the $2,000 barrier, but they're promising to push a more immersive, satisfying VR experience that delivers on incredible fidelity. https://www.dexpan.com/pages/how-to-use-dexpan-break-concrete-rocks-easily. Compare their prediction of how it would look with the reality shown above.. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/climate-change-and-coastal-erosion-the-g GOR coastal erosion webinar link for today at 3pm for those interested. The council had an interest in preventing future erosion impacting Pittwater Rd, the main north-south artery on the NB. These seawalls are easy to design, and easy to construct. The 18-year-old scored a near-perfect 9.50 in the Final, held at Seaside Reef in Encinitas, California. Children protest the building of a seawall at Collaroy-Narrabeen in 2002. That's assuming the properties are still worth something to the market. did depend a lot on steepness of the beach etc. brutus Collaroy was not a typical situation. And thats being generous. Wow, that is ugly even by brutalist/modernist standards. Jeez. I have a blanket policy of not feeling sorry for people owning properties worth multiple millions of dollars, who have lived the better part of their lives walking from their beachfront home directly onto the sand. Nature fights back. Super difficult problem, maybe councils could buy beachfronts then lease back the properties. Looking at that DA via Stu's link, it must have taken a considerable, possibly illegal, effort to keep that out of the hands of those community members with a long record of interest in the matter. With increased ocean levels comes all those properties around Botany Bay, Parramatta river, Georges river. This clearly did not happen at Collaroy. On top of this they have places sand band grounds out perpendicular to the sandunes. Would suck if you got amalgamated into Northern Beaches council then had to pay tax for this. Not rhetorical question ! Death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. For a couple of furlongs it was quite close to the ocean but nobody cared. Good point, Lilas, but I think the issues around hard structures and beach environments have been established for so long and are so well known in the coastal management field that it's taken as read. It never stood a chance. Yes it is. Such a shame that it's not like California or other US states where the owner has no right to protect their land from erosion etc. They are a method of hard engineering. Everything else may go but that wall is here to stay. Step 3: Calculate the number of pilings that will be required. As good as a house on the beach would be imagine how much more beautiful the East Coast would be with a 1km + building buffer from the coast depending on the terrain. Making it deeper? the Senior Environmental Officer" Northern Beaches NSW govt!! The seawall is protected from the direct onslaught of waves by rows of granite boulders which are reinforced every year to stop erosion. Stick your comments up your arse fuckwit engineers dont approve shit like this they get paid to do what they are told direct your retarded comments at millionaire house owners and council you piece of shit. There is a common denominator here, "Coastal" engineers with a lack of knowledge and understanding of coastal processes. OK this is the real one. The UNSW Centre is called the Water Research Laboratory. Any chance of a dedicated ErosionCam, Swellnet? governments recently built a bunch of groynes around the Murray street area. We have over 40 years of combined experience installing, maintaining, and repairing seawalls on both residential and commercial properties. Big walls like this one are getting smashed and although for the most part they are still there, everything behind them is going. It's been seven years since the last, but the event has been called on off for this Wednesday - Hawaiian time. increases social amenity". In the Doc below, They advised to do more Numerical modeling [Physics simulations] to be sure of the walls effect. Not sure why coastal ginger beers (engineeers) assigned by local councils just keep getting it wrong, but it would be fascinating to go through the meetings minutes of how these get passed, and the deceptive and misguided arguments that must be being put forward. Only thing that would be better if they made a foot path on top of it so wheel chair bandits and a like get to use the cost line as well, "Or boarding a jumbo jet to go for a surf and buy the latest board all things responsible for the needing of the wall in the first place.". Northern Beaches council has received a new application by five local property owners to build two new sections of the wall in front of their properties to protect the homes from coastal . The only place for a residence next to Narrabeen Beach was up on the headland. Environmental vandalism or gross negligence? Theyre only a couple of hundred years away from I wonder if they're intended as some kind of device to absorb/dissipate energy rather than as trafficable stairs? Here's a screengrab from the website about the proposed breakwall extension: It seems that the main concern about the extension is the interruption of the natural flow of sand onto Mooloolaba beach and hence increased erosion risk. Contrast man-made against a natural barrier like mangroves (apologies for the sound, not my video), Trees work well for preventing erosion ONLY when the wave power is very minimal. There are plenty of other spots along the coast vulnerable to rising seas and more intense storms but Collaroy is one of the most difficult to address. Embed Forecast. The thing is, the existing site was fine except a motorway was about to be built straight through it. From deep state secret spot to modern media darling, what lessons can we learn from Cape Solander's evolution? Great stuff. What an absolute joke of a mess this has turned into. The process is cyclical, however short-sighted development upon the foredune, built during times of a wide beach profile, impedes the system. PW road and any associated public infrastructure was used as a eligibility factor for public funding to protect the private properties. Mind you theyve only been around for a year. Seeing and continuing a precedent that the government should pay and protect small groups of private landholders while the property owner reap the benefit and profit of rocket fuel property prices. "Once this is up it'll be a momentum for others to do it too," said Orth. A weather-beaten cement plaque with the year 1952 is still visible along a section of the seawall. 2)How much did the Collaroy Carpark Coastal Protection works cost? I was watching the houses on the cliffs at Bilgola the other day. Would be very interested in knowing what other options were considered and why they were discarded Yeah it's easy to get caught up in the house situation, but the road is at exactly the same height and built on sand too. A shame too, as it would probably be a good strategy. besides Id rather just shout at my computer. This can easily be achieved by creating offshore reefs that reduce the energy to a level the beach can cope with. Structures appeared. Def landing size incorrect i reckon900mm min ? Not every beachfront owner is a cashed up prick, some have been there 50 years when climate change etc wasnt on the radar. If the council are desperate to get a liability off their books then they have totally screwed it. And ALL received in a 3 day period 17-19 July 2017. At this point, the relocation business case doesn't seem to stack up. An increase in storm activity - particularly from the east and north-east, as has been proposed by Associate Professor Ian Goodwin - and the looming threat of sea level rise are X-factors for East Coast beachfront development. https://www.acma.gov.au/zone-protect-sydney-submarine-cables, That makes sense Ben. Completely agree that not all beach owners are cashed up pricks. It makes perfect sense doesn't it, stop/dissipate the energy before it has the chance to have an impact. Maybe start a thread in the Forumsand you must have a few Wild sea tales to tell with 560 Lord Howe trips under your belt. https://www.sydneycoastalcouncils.com.au/sites/default/files/JRCorkill_A(2)_Prop_L_Rev_67-84.pdf, yes, Blindboy, I am guessing they had absolutely no input on the final [or initial] design what-so-ever as they were only used as a consulting service by the Coastal engineers. There are some fed govt areas that listen to this thinking. Establishment and set out of site survey control points. But obviously no owners want to give up tax free capital gains.. dunno has to be a solution that doesnt destroy the beach like collaroy or completely crush home owners, they arent all pricks. https://www.linkedin.com/mwlite/in/peter-horton-coastal-engineer. High rises to sea walls. Market value is driven by what people are willing to pay for it. Unfortunately, what we see in Collaroy might become a norm to protect this lifestyle. Links relating to the City of Sydney, and NSW in general - please read our rules before Or boarding a jumbo jet to go for a surf and buy the latest board all things responsible for the needing of the wall in the first place. Its no wonder the climate brigade aren't on board telling us all there garbage but erosion been around a tad longer than the 80s. What insanity! So where public assets like roads are involved things get really sticky. Not sure if that happened though. Japan may be a perfect case study. On the release of his latest edit, R-Cal chats to Swellnet about love and other acrobatics. 100% agree Craig, the only option is to buy back the properties and be done with it like they should have done years ago. This sets a very dangerous precedent for the rest of NSW. Ratepayer/taxpayer bailout, so business as usual whatever happened to caveat emptor? Well, it (and a lot of us) could possibly be in for a real test within 3-5 years with the Thwaites Glacier (Doomsday Glacier) suggested to be at risk of sliding into the sea and potentially raising sea levels by 65cm. "I really like living here deep in the bush, close to nature. I have limited state / lga experience but my perception is this broader thinking can get lost in short term self interest (putting it politely) as touched on by BB and others. which is why the video is so interesting. Agree 100%. the hardest decisions should be the easiest. Its a wicked problem theyve got, in the true sense of the word.. I suspect the engineering report will say thatif we ever get to see it. On Saturday November 27th hundreds of locals came down to Collaroy Beach / North Narrabeen Beach in grim weather conditions to protest the monstrous 7 meter . Given that it seems to fly in the face of best practice, has anyone asked what the NSW Coastal Council has to say about it? Mr Horton said current conditions have exposed a temporary rock bund that was put in place to protect the construction site, but it will be removed when works are complete. Northern Beaches councils have been sacked for dodgy dealing twice before. This is an example of the walls theyve been placing. San Sebastian surfers are fighting a wavepool in their hometown, which is also the hometown of Wavegarden's founder. Your browser has JavaScript disabled. I do know the metro area was excluded from the NSW Coastal Policy for a long time because it was seen as too difficult, and that the CLPS was focussed on environmental values. It might be cold comfort to the home owners, but there's always a certain risk to be taken, anywhere you might choose to live. Comparing the swell to those of last year it wasn't of any major significance but it shows the futile efforts trying to protect property with a hard structure. And in the approval documents was there a long-run cost benefit analysis evaluating the 2 treatment options of wall versus buy back and restoration. btw- that one is a tiddler compared to what they have here. Kimura (2016) "When a seawall is visible: Infrastructure and obstruction in post-tsunami reconstruction in Japan" Will this mean sand depletion north and a build up south? There's been a lot written about the challenges of the various adaptation options, including the purchase of private lands. Pipeline specialist injured while duckdiving in heavy waves. Though not failsafe in extreme events, isnt it amazing how reefs and well-place gabions somehow protect small atolls in middle of the ocean for most of the time? property owners in Collaroy have seen the value of their asset increase by around 20-30% in the last 12 months alone. There is a significant risk that, as Craig suggested, end wall erosion will simply move the problem and lead to calls for extending the wall. And I previously worked in a firm that did work in this area (it's not my specific expertise but I get the broad concepts). oh yeah and someone call security. Again this can only be taken as opinion without proper scientific references. Precarious! In the early 2000s, Warringah Council (as it was then known, its since been amalgamated with Manly and Pittwater) spent $6 million dollars buying three properties. And more recently there was a local magazine piece discussing future sea level rises and the Noosa beach rock wall not being able to contain that, plus the homes along the Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach stretch being at future risk, and councils would be needing to address that. Its like something out of a dystopian movie. It is all about the road. Please enable it to continue. Kook survives a brutal seawall bashin' well almost! What a pity as the potential for offshore reefs around there is really good. Action: Casey Johnston to forward initial site visit details to Taskforce members, noting there will be a further site visit as the project progresses". If you don't know know shit about the processes of the ocean and coastal erosion then please put your hand up and say so. It would be the same as for any development adjacent to the cables where they make landfall. The devil is in the detail and the more we understand the science behind it the better. Some family recently went through this as their house sat above the construction zone for the Spit / Northern Beaches Link tunnel. Make his name famous: Peter Horton. Great article highlighting the competing interests of the natural environment and local councils (which are too easily manipulated by wealthy stakeholders). The second DA is now here. Futile. https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/Policy-and-Legislation/Coastal-and-marin "The scheme operates along the entire NSW coastal zone except for the Greater Sydney metropolitan area, identified as between Broken Bay (Central Coast) and the Minnamurra River (south of Shellharbour).". If a construction like that ends up being the only realistic option then so be it, but at least they need to be transparent about how they got to that point, and ideally accountable in future if it goes south. This is where I live. In their natural state, sand dunes are dynamic and in a constant state of flux. Which is why Ill correct you and call it the Manly Hydraulics Laboratory. Thanks Stu, didn't even know such a thing existed here. That's the only thing stopping all the sand at the base of the wall getting washed away. In this case there is evidence that the council and land owners subverted the approval process. Take a chill-pill mate, or possibly the whole packet as it appears you need them. Isolated, desk top engineering at its finest. There's no sense at all in building something like this from an engineering perspective. Why would you bother acquiring the affected properties "at any cost", when they're likely to be washed into the sea? For Sydney its not just beach suburbs. We had made a big mistake that would become bigger. The properties were bought in good faith, said one local who wished to remain anonymous, and the owners must feel an obligation for the authorities to protect them, but a seawall is last century thinking.. Yet for some reason the Collaroy/Narra stretch seems to get flogged not only by mother nature but by poor coastal management approaches time and again. Good balanced post tango. Te Puna Aonui is the joint venture of government agencies that will deliver Te Aorerekura. The Surfrider Foundation Australia organised a protest against the seawall that is being erected between Narrabeen and Collaroy. Its an issue the whole coastline, councils desperate to get what is a liability off their books and some homeowners, beachfront, genuinely caught out by it. Anybody heard of rising ocean levels & retreat by wealthy landholders who where allowed to build in the dune systems which nature designed to replenish the beaches? As far as I know their job was to asses the designs given to them by the Coastal engineers, not to actually create any designs. Between these three, you can protect any shore from water erosion. The area has been slowly receding due to storm damage - theres evidence of erosion dating back to the 1920s - while at the same timebeing intensely researched by coastal geographers. Has any one ever suggested an off shore reef, seems like a win-win or is the sea floor unsuitable? Old dude making a dash for it, budgie smugglers and a cricket cap. The very thing we live for one the beaches is full of concrete and man made fuck ups. Check this out. Yep need to see front on pic that concrete is a lovely blank canvas for some choice words. I'd be happy to help draft it offline. In a story on Northern Beaches Review, Bob Orth, who lives in one of the houses behind the seawall, said the seawall should inspire others to do likewise. Painful to see such a blunt object of a solution.

Please enable it to continue. Collaroy homes along Pittwater Rd have been cordoned off today. "Update from Council on possible site visit to Northern Beaches: Casey Johnston advised a site visit to Narrabeen-Collaroy is being canvased for early December 2021 to allow review of their seawall in construction. Donohoe has presided over the Northern Beaches branch of the Surfrider Foundation for over twenty years, and hes currently livid with the council. Cheers for the knowledge Craig. Planning Minister Rob Stokes told the Telegraph there was a recent plan to build a sea wall in Collaroy at the scene of the devastation but the owners would not agree on making a contribution, so it never happened. As I understand it, governments have been reluctant to purchase vulnerable properties because there will be so many of them and the public purse could never afford it. And the properties either side?? Tetrapods work but don't protect the adjacent beach very well unless there are multiple groynes. One thing about mankind. You have a decade of good conditions somewhere along the way and everybody builds on the beach or on a river bank and then there reminded of the risks being swell generated by a low and annual big tides in cyclone season who woulda thought ..or flooding by jingoes fuk wouldnt you rather walk an extra couple of hundred metres and leave nature to do what it does . stupid white poeple ..classic. The National Library of Australia's Copies Direct service lets you purchase higher quality, larger sized photocopies or electronic copies of newspapers pages. I suppose there are still those with more dollars than sense, but for me, the land is as good as built below the high-tide mark. Plenty others have discussed it. 30 years of volunteers doing Dunecare (eg. Wow Zen saw those photo's , it's really sad that they couldn't come up with something else , which raises the question.what other alternatives are there?? There is currently an online petition to stop it extending to the Marquees. @dawnperiscope And without getting too political its a good chance that the persons who own these properties will be liberal voters so called free marketers who abhor the intervention of government in their day to day life.. except when it concerns their interests.. Nup it is anchored to the bedrock. The state government and council are together tipping in 20 per cent of the costs for the construction of a wall stretching from Collaroy to South Narrabeen after heavy surf and powerful storms . Guess where that temporary rock wall has ended up! If that is to be avoided there needs to be a concerted effort to gain the support of the wider NB community to create pressure on the council to develop a more acceptable plan. It didn't last long and within 12 hours the sand that was built up against the near finished first wall was 2/3rds washed away. Cyclonic activity isnt forecast to increase at all - I think the jury actually out on that at the moment, east coast of Australia in a 500 year dip too on cyclonic activity. The point i guess im coming to is, and i know an old couple whose property is very exposed to this issue, who have lived there since 1960's and are now in their 80's and likley won't see the impeding issues in their lifetime - but really they have done nothing wrong, bought an old shack in a place they love when no one lived up here, I wouldnt say there are a lot of people left like that but there are a few I know up here a version of that and the whole "screw those rich pricks" mantra is just divisive. A much higher amplitude as well. Sorry wasnt specifically referring to collaroy which I completely agree has been a known and long term problem. It will still be a bargain now compared to 60 years from now if they do the same. Here's the Maritime Safety Queensland website link and here's what appears to be the numerical modelling report upon which a lot of decision-making on the issue is based. (This statement also doesn't specify what type of HARD structure. My comment was maybe too obscure but was meant to be sarcastic. Yep. The seawall is probably built over them. He said when the work is complete, sand will be pushed up to cover most of the seawall. This isn't a new issue, as has been mentioned in the article above, and the longer we ignore the elephant in the room the harder it will become to resolve. Lets do the modelling and begin building offshore wave traps and manmade surf-breaks. I assume this would all depend on the power of the state government/council etc to cap buyback prices, similar to land buybacks for roads, airports etc. Mr Horton said there has been some very minor erosion at Collaroy/Narrabeen Beach this week, along with other NSW beaches, but it is not a cause for concern. If you look further to the north you can see an old, crumbling seawall (due for replacement- fucking industry perpetuates itself) and you can see the water breaks right on it, there's no sand. We can mess things up in a colossal way, and then keep doing it repeatedly. What they could all agree upon is that council has lost the trust of all whove opposed the seawall over the decades. Perhaps at best, the council acquires the land and owners get a sum to relocate to a 'normal' house west of Pittwater Road (god forbid). Stupid dumbfucks. Tonights high tide is 1.34m, tomorrow morning is 1.96m. I cannot see how can this be a feasible long-term strategy from the cost perspective. A quick trip Todos Santos way during a belting nor'west swell. Will try and find out. Hey guys I need to write an informative paper based on remedial measures used to protect infrastructure against erosion. The market knows the insurance companies know this. bit of a worry but, when you buy a nice piece of land by the ocean in high risk erosion zone..why do tax payers have to buy the property back,,,surely the owner knew the risks ? !.Basic, crude, primitive, a fcukn disgrace and no regard for the beauty of the areajust shit!.Year 7 school project standard. That this kind of construction was approved with the obvious impacts on the public domain (the beach) simply beggars belief, and the real focus should be on the process to consider the design options and then issue the approval. Edit: The estuary was in an area protected from the ocean and the cliffs only faced small wind chop and the tides. Hopefully there's someone with deep pockets able to go after the truth of the matter. They must only exist on a dense (and expensive) schedule of maintenance, no doubt. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=144437777895204. Lance Knight. On the MP they blew the heads up and the erosion from Portsea front beach to the heads is crazy. Was the carpark damaged by the 2016 storms and if so-to what extent? Much better to work out a solution where the public doesnt lose their beach as per collaroy, but councils/government do need to help landowners. If you look a bit to the north you can see the relatively intact beach with a decent amount of sand. https://www.celeria.org/ Hourly Multiple Swells Wind Highlighting Model Units ft, mph. It breaks my heart. If it were replicated along vulnerable areas of the NSW coast (and that of other states) we would never be able to afford adaptation. Could be the camera angle but. They have just set a precedent for the whole east coast of poor me multi millionaire landowners to set up squeaky wheel collectives. Will be ironic if they have to pull it down for not meeting code on the steps. The whole buy back argument being too expensive is a crock of shit. For the most part I understand buybacks but, how will they appraise the value of these properties? I have written to the Office Of Local Government about my concerns over the hiding of the second DA.
