collaroy sea wall protest

Collaroy homes along Pittwater Rd have been cordoned off today. Also any factual statements need reference links to scientific papers backing them up if they are to be taken seriously Just look at the surfcams tommorow morning, will be another case of ugly easterly that will make problems worse. Bullshit. An "Engineer/s" designed this monstrosity and other "Engineers" approved it. Its like stepping forty years back in time. Also, ALL the Numerical modeling was done in comparison to the current altered beach-state and NOT to a natural beach-state so there is bias in modeling things that way even though the beach state is not natural any more. A horizontal reef is also a "Hard Structure" yet it acts in a very different way to a Vertical Sea Wall such as the Collaroy one. Not off topic JS, wouldn't be surprised if there is a hyperlink to that video in the sea wall approval document!. 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. Existing market value must take into account that houses have erosion problems. (AO) All they are protecting are some pretty sparse land and some rice fields a couple of hundred metres inland. But several of those areas experiencing recession are linked to important infrastructure that the authorities want to protect - depending on were you are, the GOR also houses telecoms, sewerage and other infrastructure. What they could all agree upon is that council has lost the trust of all whove opposed the seawall over the decades. 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. It breaks my heart. >> and the ocean will wash it all away again in the next big swell. Northern Beaches Council are the biggest tossers ever. All of Ramsgate, Brighton, Kyeemagh, Dolls Point, Scarborough Park and lots more will be underwater in 50 or 100 years time. I looked into this again yesterday. Maintenance starts 2 months (?) Last Model Run: 15 Jan 11:00AM Local time (AEDT) 15 Jan 12:00AM GMT Data Status: OK. Run Age 9hrs. And since there's been no budget allocated for future buy backs. https://www.smh.com.au/property/news/coastal-properties-at-highest-clima https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-17/will-climate-change-put-an-end-to Kala Grace In Dramatic Rescue While Competing In Backdoor Shootout, 'Corners Of The Earth: Kamchatka' Tour Dates, Watch: Hossegor Super Session January 6th, Australian Designer To Launch Crescent Head Hotel Amid Local Development Concerns, Dead Marine Life Washes Onto South Oz Beaches After Flooding, Watch: Ryan Callinan // Beneath A Pear Tree, Watch: Cronulla's Jarvis Earle Wins World Junior Title. Statements such as the two below can only be classified as opinion unless you link to references. buzzwords include "Improved recreational access. " The only way now is to harness the power of coastal construction science and engineering. This is a massive issue around the world from which there are countless learnings. This sets a very dangerous precedent for the rest of NSW. First completed by the French in 1735, the Pondicherry seawall reaches a height of 27 feet above sea level. It would be fascinating to see the NSW Cabinet documents which advocated for this approach. https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/tarzans-stormy-st-clair-skinny-dip. We have summarised some key facts about the first of the Collaroy owners' seawalls. They needed see this, but still probably wouldnt t have believed it. But there will also be a range of other social and environmental grants on offer that the LGA will use to leverage off for on-going maintenance. Lake that has been going on for the last 20 years. As a result, if the sea erodes the shoreline (and the tidal level moves inland) it encroaches upon land once part of someone's private land title. 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). That is why this option was selected for Palm Beach Qld, and I think should be considered for all the other coastal erosion hotspots along the NSW coast as well. On the MP they blew the heads up and the erosion from Portsea front beach to the heads is crazy. Beaches with hard structures can return, though it takes longer, and rocks and concrete in the wave zone also make for a dangerous combination. 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. 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 . That's a form of speculation I believe. At this point, no-one can say if any consultation occurred, though the cynical view is council ticked the box by distributing flyers to the immediate neighbours, all of whom would want similar works built to protect their properties. The idea has never been proposed for Collaroy. Nothing can ever excuse extremely poor and ill-conceived designs. We have trouble performing numerical analysis on complex near shore environments, so what we'll do is create a slab sided wave tank with perfectly geometrical structures and wave forms and see what "actually happens". "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. The primary mechanism for coastal land acquisition in NSW has been the Coastal Lands Protection Scheme, but it wasn't designed for climate/erosion buy-backs. More than a year after severe storms damaged property in Collaroy, construction of a long-awaited sea wall is underway. Unfortunately groynes or artificial headlands are not part of the certified Coastal Zone Management Plan CZMP (2014). In the future, the problems may well be exacerbated by the above but they did not cause it "in the first place". "We have the Tools and imagination" Might be time to lawyer up. Seawall construction isnt mentioned. Environmental vandalism or gross negligence? They may have a wall, but there will be no beach in front of it. Plop! . "The community is not happy." Northern Beaches Council said there had been comprehensive community consultation about the council's coastal zone management plan for Collaroy Beach. Collaroy sea wall. What a mess. Could be the camera angle but. You don't have to look around the world because the Gold Coast has implemented the only effective "non- ugly as fuck" option at Palm Beach Qld. Stop wasting money and do something that will achieve the intended goals. Spot on. Thanks, Lilas, I agree with there being challenges inherent in generalising, but I'm going to resist the temptation to take our shared pedantry down the rabbit hole this time! why should the taxpayer pay to protect a small number of private landholders who actively choose to profit from purchasing in a tidal zone? Designed to democratise surfing, Tom Morey's invention became a specialised craft for riding treacherouswaves. She had reigned as Queen for 70 years. Can't see sand staying around with all that crazy activity. Tonights high tide is 1.34m, tomorrow morning is 1.96m. The facts stand as such, an Engineer/s designed this monstrosity and no amount of excuses can change that. Holds more water and replenish the beach? However, a few queries regarding your post: "Sure if youve bought the last 5 years ignorance cant be an excuse" - why does five years give one grace? The sooner we (as humans) acknowledge the nature of nature, and work with it instead of against it, the better for everybody. 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. San Sebastian surfers are fighting a wavepool in their hometown, which is also the hometown of Wavegarden's founder. I will try and find some pics of my area. There isnt much fetch so its only ever weak 1-4ft tops of onshore wave after wave onslaught, this a particular problem at high tide caus most bays and points usually go flat at high tide but under an easterly scenario the easterly windswell pushes right up to the dunes, and easterly swells require lots of wind and from what Ive read on swellnet these large storms if the pressure is low enough will raise sea levels higher than normal. Including the residents behind the great wall. This paper by John Corkill is worth reading if you're interested - he's a legend. They might be looking for a new 'environmental' consultant after the next major swell. It just doesn't make the engineering firms any money or contribute to gross state product under the current economic system. OK this is the real one. I wonder whats worse this concrete monstrsity or the digital identity certifcate which is about to be become a reality unless you put some energy into being another voice presenting a social inclusivity rather than If there is an identity card, then people in authority will want to put it to use.What is at stake is nothing less than the nature of our society and the power and authority of the state over the individual.

Spot on tango. Craig Brokensha on the Sunshine Coast there is a similar 'future' proposal for a rock wall between Alexandra Headlands and Maroochydore beaches. I dare say the neighbours are on notice too. Better still put them on a rocket for deep-space explorations [the missions that don't return] besides Id rather just shout at my computer. It is worth remembering that this council, as Warringah, council, was twice dismissed for corruption and incompetence. The Collaroy Beach seawall project was put to the test for the first time today with the arrival of a moderate to large east-northeast groundswell from ex-Tropical Cyclone Seth, coinciding with a king tide. These impacts would have been explicitly tied to that particular design option by the engineers and other specialists involved. Thanks Stu, didn't even know such a thing existed here. State govt has been acquiring properties for more toll roads of late and they have been getting low-balled big time, totally screwed over. Water is manageable but comes with a huge expense and loss of nature. https://nationalprecast.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Collaroy-Beach 2020 Surfer keelhauled by Collaroy Stormwater Pipe {RIP} Maybe you New South Weleshpeople do things differently. If the council are desperate to get a liability off their books then they have totally screwed it. Everything else may go but that wall is here to stay. July 28, 2021 - 7:04AM. Who could forget the MOLE building or the spoil from the North Head Sewage Works tipped over the cliff? High rises to sea walls. Another week, another pumping day in the south-west of France. Staged retreats seem the best option, but also some councils are genuinely desperate to embrace the most apocalyptic climate change forecasts. Both Brendan Donohoe and Angus Gordon, and other people Swellnet spoke to, admit to being blindsided by the construction. I cannot see how can this be a feasible long-term strategy from the cost perspective. I liken it to a form of gambling. The Gold Coast has undoubtedly the most at risk coastline in Australia. The Collaroy Beach coastline on May 6, 2016 before major storms swept the shoreline. Around 80 percent of the cost will be shouldered by the property owners themselves while the remaining 20 percent will be jointly funded by the Northern Beaches Council and the NSW government. South Narrabeen beach is now useless to anyone. It also enshrines a process of community consultation before a council adopts any coastal programs.

I like the cut of your pedantic job, there Lilas. Its a wicked problem theyve got, in the true sense of the word.. Five years ago, residents along Collaroy Beach watched helplessly as enormous waves smashed into their backyards, collapsing pools and patios of their multimillion-dollar waterfront properties. Any system that affects the coast from a different angle upsets the balance of that orientation and the system then takes considerably more time to re-adjust. The public should not suffer loss of amenity or pay the costs to protect it. Are the exposed quarried rocks part of the construction/ foundation or are they from pre existing efforts. You can cry about why it wasn't their fault but that doesn't change anything at all. 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. a report a number of years ago by the Great Ocean Road Coastal Committee, GORCCshowed there were more than 47 areas that were of immediate concern where the ocean would cut the road. And there's no risk. 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. Bite the bullet and start buying the properties back and bulldozing them. The Collaroy seawall was in part constructed after a significant storm event in 2016 eroded 50 metres along the Narrabeen and Collaroy shoreline, causing damage to waterside properties. This is an example of the walls theyve been placing. The 18-year-old scored a near-perfect 9.50 in the Final, held at Seaside Reef in Encinitas, California. 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. A man whose million-dollar beachfront property on Sydney's northern beaches was damaged by king tides says he and his neighbours are happy to chip in for the construction of a sea wall.

By creating offshore reefs that only interact with the largest [damaging] swell events, the normal beach processes can be maintained by allowing small to medium swells to pass unaffected and continue the normal flow of sand. No fuckers complained about the rebar reef. A few years on when I visited I suggested a stroll along the cliffs at the estuary and they replied that its to dangerous now as theres been heaps of erosion for some reason. More often than not, the pollies retiire and are parachuted onto the boards of these companies and live out their lives having enriched themselves quite nicely. I guess that the levees will give me a 100% guarantee that it'll never happen in my lifetime". I am actually shocked the collaroy houses in particular have gone up in value - i wouldnt be able to sleep at night living there! 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. Yep need to see front on pic Weve long known that putting a hard structureparticularly a hard, vertical structure, on the beach increases erosion., Northern Beaches Council puts up the big don't argue (Photo Craig Brokensha). I definitely disagree with a buy back. Much bigger. Drone footage over Collaroyafter the June 2016 'Black Nor'easter swell' (Photo: UNSW Water Research Laboratory). Not to mention the many brutalist houses dotting its once beautiful headlands. This is where I live. The concern about the seawall stems from the dynamic nature of sand dunes and how introducing a hard structure onto the foredune interferes with the natural state of flux. The seawall is protected from the direct onslaught of waves by rows of granite boulders which are reinforced every year to stop erosion. For example, during sunny conditions in Collaroy beach, constructive waves transport eroded sediments from cliffs and headlands to build up the beach. He said when the work is complete, sand will be pushed up to cover most of the seawall. They aint getting crushed. Surge and erosion even on protected beaches on the Mid North Coast today is nuts. It would be the same as for any development adjacent to the cables where they make landfall. [ask GaryG] "I really like living here deep in the bush, close to nature. Should have taken the high road. "The only feasible way forward without wasting any more council and tax payers money to protect the properties in question is to acquire the properties at any cost and return them to a naturalised stated." >>How can you say there is no evidence unless you have the facts to prove it? I posted links to the relevant council pages in the previous story. Turned this place into a concreters paradise. A band of knowledgable people have gotten together and are in discussions about it and coming up with arguments and alternatives against it. 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. At this point, the relocation business case doesn't seem to stack up. So says Brendan Donohoe of the conundrum facing Northern Beaches Council in relation to the Collaroy beachfront. Im worried they will put one of these in at a beachie around here as the carpark and rd are imminent to be taken by the ocean and Im sure that will dramatically change the profile of that beach. The track became a road. There's no sense at all in building something like this from an engineering perspective. We all have valuable opinions, but they need to be separated from facts at all times, especially when it comes to Journalism. I have the mhl report but cannot find the link again. The State Government essentially provided the compensation for the business to relocate to another 'suitable' site.

In 2002, about 3000 people took to the beach to protest a planned sea wall, concerned it could destroy the beach. This can easily be achieved by creating offshore reefs that reduce the energy to a level the beach can cope with. The Collaroy seawall was in part constructed after a significant storm event in 2016 eroded 50 metres along the Narrabeen and Collaroy shoreline, causing damage to waterside properties. 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. The software built for Kelly's wave pool was also a big leap forward to modeling actual breaking waves and I really hope they share that knowledge with the rest of the scientific community to help forward our understanding. Such a shame. My working assumption is that they have behaved unethically on this matter. Even though they are sure to meet codethey dont look to going by the pic. This process must require wind over thousands of years but people and waves stomping over dunes seems like any dune system near a popular town once destroyed wont come back? Dates announced for Spencer Frost and Guy Williment's film shot in Russia's far east. A "macabre" scene greeted surfers followinga mass kill of invertebrates. It's actually quite simple to install and get going unlike a lot of open-source software. exports the same quantity of energy in green electricity and hydrogen as it exports in thermal coal and liquefied natural gas. Also, "some councils are genuinely desperate to embrace the most apocalyptic climate change forecasts" - in your view what are "apocalyptic forecasts" of climate change and which councils are you referring to? It's been seven years since the last, but the event has been called on off for this Wednesday - Hawaiian time. Locate courts, tribunals and offices. Multiple reports have previously shown a better cost effective way to protect public infrastructure on that stretch. 314k members in the sydney community. The road is the public asset to be protected yes linked to their actions - but if it was really only just about PW road then surely a more cost effective way would have been to introduce less expensive and arguably more effective measures as I understand earlier reports have indicated including reveg and rock? Our timber guide wall formwork is not only reusable and 100% recyclable, it also prevents dangerous polystyrene fragments from entering the ecosystem. "Environmental vandalism or gross negligence?". A concrete seawall designed to stop coastal erosion is being built from Collaroy to South Narrabeen on Sydney's northern beaches. Records show the DA for the Collaroy Seawall had been lodged 18 months earlier in July 2018. Collaroy Sea Wall Client: Citilink Piling With such close proximity to the ocean, our client tasked us with producing an alternative to the commonly used polystyrene forms. I wonder if they're intended as some kind of device to absorb/dissipate energy rather than as trafficable stairs? It makes perfect sense doesn't it, stop/dissipate the energy before it has the chance to have an impact. My view is if it cannot be protected by environmentally sound methods then that is the owner's problem. You got to have demand/competition in order for a buyback to increase value of supply. In blustery, unfavourable conditions, people began lining up at 4.00pm Saturday afternoon (27 November) between Collaroy and Narrabeen to form a 'line in the sand' against the seawall's construction. Check this out. You would never be allowed to build an incorrectly designed bridge, so why do these people get away with doing that at our beaches ? The project is part of the 1.3-km seawall proposed from South Narrabeen to Collaroy to protect both private and public assets in the suburb. However, while they prevent further shoreline erosion, they do not deal with the causes of erosion (French, 2001). Rad demo john interesting as Craig said to see the changes in shock waves returning seaward. Thanks Craig aod if you are THE Jody P, yes you are a ledge. Whether the NSW state government / local council want to backflip with a pike on their current failing seawall master plan is another thing. There are some fed govt areas that listen to this thinking. Pre-existing or failing seawalls (if any) should be removed as part of Step 2. Shows what not to do, i mean it'd have some value in an inlet or lake subject to openings to the ocean in storm surge/high tides. No-one wants to see visible structures built along the beachfront.

Ocean Pools > Skate Bowls > Wave Pools > "Boomer'z Backwash Booger Bowl", Crew requested the Turning Japanese Tool Box, History of Collaroy Erosion / Wave Pools / Tow Surfers. Just ugly, clog up the waterways etc. I would rather have seen the money go into a couple of California style piers. 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. Thanks BB. There are many software suits now that can handle very complex near-shore modeling, including sediment transport from wave and current action. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=144437777895204. Yep totally agree. Now digging up the facts of this case would prove fascinatingthe applicant, the judges, the arguments, the ruling etc one if there is precedent for seeking compensation for judicial rulings made in error.

Thats awesome. https://eservices.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/ePlanning/live/Public/XC.Tr And this (Item 4) gives the reasons they changed to a wall. The UNSW Centre is called the Water Research Laboratory. and the second last line of your article states- Same old issues, with a more educated market. Or as the comment above lists - quoted by Prof Short - not let the property developers and real estate industry interfere with good management strategy decades ago that would have avoided council being left with a steaming pile of shit. Your browser has JavaScript disabled. Is it designed to behave like a bottle-neck? But there will be pushed up to cover most of the estuary where they make landfall infrastructure on stretch.
