1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy is to provide a management framework to guide decision making and to determine how foreshore reserves should be used and managed.

The Foreshore Reserves Policy aims to provide direction and certainty in the future management of these valued resources. It also aims to provide for future recreational needs as well as for property and environmental protection. The Policy will clearly outline Council’s role and will describe opportunities for community involvement in the appropriate management of these areas in accordance with relevant legislation and policy (Appendix One & Two).

Where anything in this policy conflicts with a Council-adopted specific area Plan of Management, State or Federal policy or legislation, the provisions of the adopted plan, policy or legislation will apply.

2. STATEMENT

Foreshore reserves are highly valued for their social, cultural, economic, and environmental attractions. By their very nature, these reserves have a degree of environmental sensitivity as the transition zone between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

Foreshore reserves have been evolving and changing naturally for thousands of years and the rate of change has been dependent on natural forces such as wind and water. It is these active forces that attract people to recreate, live and work around foreshores thereby bringing a new suite of pressures to these sensitive areas.

The following statements provide background to formation of the Foreshore Reserves Policy. 2.1. What are foreshore reserves? Along our coasts, rivers and estuaries, a network of open space has been preserved in public ownership. This network has been developing since the 1860s in recognition of the basic need of the community to access open spaces for their physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. These significant areas have been preserved in public ownership to provide environmental protection to natural bushland and coastal / riparian ecosystems and to provide opportunities for human enjoyment of these unique environments. They are collectively identified as Foreshore Reserves and commence from the high water mark.

All foreshore reserves are public resources under public ownership and are managed by various levels of government. Within the Shoalhaven City Council area, foreshore reserves are described as Council Land (Community Land) or Crown Land (Council as Trust Manager or having a Care, Control and Management responsibility). These reserves adjoin permanent water bodies or intermittent watercourses including oceans, estuaries, lakes, rivers, creeks, watercourses and wetlands.

Under section 36 of the NSW Local Government Act – Council’s charter for the management of Community Land – Community Land is further categorised as one, or more, of the following – sportsground, park, general community use, area of cultural significance or natural area. Natural Areas must be further categorised as bushland, wetland, escarpment, or watercourse or foreshore.

Page 1 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

The Act, and its Regulation provides Councils with guidelines to ensure all community land is appropriately categorised and managed in accordance with identified management objectives, described in the Act as core objectives. The core objectives for management of community land categorised as foreshore are:

a) To maintain the foreshore as a transition area between the aquatic and the terrestrial environment, and to protect and enhance all functions associated with the foreshore’s role as a transition area; and b) The facilitate the ecologically sustainable use of the foreshore, and to mitigate impact on the foreshore by community use.

Land that is categorised as a natural area should be further categorised as foreshore under the Act if the land is situated on the water’s edge and forms a transition zone between the aquatic and terrestrial environment.

Although many parcels of foreshore land extend inland for considerable distances, this policy primarily aims to manage impacts on those areas that represent the transition zone between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, the policy also aims to manage natural and/or human impacts as appropriate, to protect the integrity of natural systems and the capacity of the reserves to meet the recreational needs of users.

Current foreshore reserves under Council’s ownership or management are listed in Appendix Three. 2.2. Public use and value of foreshore reserves Predominant users of Council’s foreshore reserves are the local community. Other users of these reserves are tourists who visit the areas for their natural attractions on a seasonal basis. These areas provide many opportunities for outdoor/nature based recreation pursuits including activities such as walking, fishing, swimming, surfing, diving and other more passive activities such as photography, painting, picnicking and relaxation.

Community values are the attributes which make something important to the community as a whole. Community values have informed the development of legislation to protect these areas. They also provide the basis for the development of Plans of Management, and this Policy.

Permissible uses and activities on Crown reserves are broadly defined by the public purposes of the reservation, in conjunction with any conditions and provisions within the specific zoning of Council’s Local Environment Plan. Crown public recreation reserves are required to be managed by Council for uses and activities which are supportive or ancillary to public recreation. 2.3. Cultural significance of foreshore reserves Foreshore reserves may contain items that are culturally significant to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities. Protection of such items is an objective of the Shoalhaven Local Environmental Plan (LEP) either as heritage items or relics. Historic relics may be any deposit, object or material evidence that is more than 50 years old relating to use or settlement in the Shoalhaven that is a fixture or is wholly or partly within the ground or under the water.

Page 2 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

Non Aboriginal heritage items may include wharves, jetties, bridges, landing ramps, seawalls, swimming pools, saw milling activities, etc. Heritage items are afforded protection (by way of development consent being required) when listed as an item in Council’s Local Environment Plan (LEP), State Government Regional Plan, NSW State Register or the National Estate. Consent may also be required from a State Authority when listed on a NSW State Agency Register. For heritage items, a development proposal which distributes the item or its curtilage must be accompanied by a heritage impact assessment. For heritage relics, development consent will also be required where work is proposed and a permit from the Heritage Council is usually required when it is likely the relic may be disturbed.

Foreshore reserves have the potential to contain Aboriginal heritage items and values which may be represented by shell middens, artefact scatters, axe grinding grooves or Aboriginal burials that are protected under the National Parks & Wildlife Act. These reserves may also contain other elements of Aboriginal heritage such as bush foods and medicines. It is important that significant Aboriginal sites and foreshore places that are of cultural significance to local Aboriginal people are protected and that Council manages such areas in consultation with local Aboriginal people. Council’s LEP also requires Council to consider the effects on Aboriginal significance resulting from any development and to consult with local Aboriginal communities.

Areas of cultural significance may include areas and places of special importance to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people through their direct access and use, either today or in the past. They may contain physical evidence of occupation or of natural resources which have been used as teaching tools or other purposes.

The Shoalhaven also contains sites of geological significance such as Tapalla Point at Huskisson, and coastal rock platforms.

Management of Heritage items is facilitated through the preparation of Conservation Management Plans or Conservation Policies. Potential impacts to such items from proposed developments will be addressed through Heritage Impact Statements containing a range of strategies designed to maintain or enhance the stated significance of the item. 2.4. Environmental significance of foreshore reserves Foreshores are characterised by complex interactions within and between species and the physical environment on which they depend. Foreshore ecosystems have been subject to much development pressure. Hence foreshore reserves may contain vegetation communities of conservation significance and prime habitat for threatened species. Shoalhaven’s foreshores include important nesting areas of threatened shorebirds (Little Tern, Hooded Plover, Pied and Sooty Oystercatchers) and foraging areas for a suite of State, National and Internationally protected migratory bird species.

As stated above, foreshores represent a transition zone between aquatic and terrestrial environments. Vegetated foreshores help to reduce erosion through soil stabilisation and through a reduction in the erosional energy of rainfall. Leaf litter and fallen branches/trees provide food and/or habitat for aquatic organisms including fish breeding and feeding sites. These principles apply equally to foreshores in riparian, estuarine and coastal locations.

Council is committed to integrating the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development in all Council’s planning, decision making and actions. The Shoalhaven LEP identifies that the aim of ESD is “to work towards an ecologically sustainable future through the proper

Page 3 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy management, development, protection, restoration, enhancement and conservation of the environment of the City.” The Guidelines for integrating the principles of ecologically sustainable development (ESD) into Shoalhaven City Council activities provides a framework for a holistic approach to the management of foreshore reserves. 2.5. Collaborative management This policy recognises the unique inheritance of foreshore reserves and recognises that Council has a stewardship responsibility to pass these reserves on to successive generations of Shoalhaven residents in a way that does not compromise the integrity or future enjoyment of these resources. In view of the scale and complexity of these resources, effective management of foreshore reserves is dependent on a collaborative management approach equally committed to and supported by Council and the community.

The Foreshore Reserves Policy aims to set out Council’s and the community’s responsibilities and commitment to the appropriate management of publicly owned foreshore reserves. 2.5.1. Community's expectations of Council The nature of settlement in the Shoalhaven reflects the value placed on foreshore locations by the community. Foreshores are the locations where the majority of residents and visitors choose to recreate. Feedback from residents demonstrates an understanding and appreciation of the environmental qualities of healthy foreshore ecosystems. Healthy foreshore ecosystems are characterised by abundance of bird life, presence of native animals, a diversity of native flora and an absence of degrading factors such as weeds, erosion and rubbish.

Community awareness of the important practical function of foreshore reserves is growing. Coastal dune systems provide protection from severe storms by absorbing energy from storm surges. Foreshore vegetation helps provide stable riverbanks that resist erosion. With widespread acceptance among the scientific community of the reality of global warming and the threat of sea level rise, the significance of the role of these important areas as buffers for private property protection is growing.

The assimilation of government policy on Ecologically Sustainable Development into Federal and State legislation recognises the need by Government to manage natural resources in a way that does not compromise the opportunities of future generations. Council is therefore mandated to ensure the protection of these resources on behalf of the community for future generations of Shoalhaven residents.

The challenge for Shoalhaven City Council is how to manage these resources to meet the broad recreation needs of the community and to ensure that such enjoyment does not result in their long term degradation. To this end, Council undertakes to manage foreshore reserves in accordance with this policy and to ensure a continued supply of quality information to improve community understanding, appreciation and conservation of foreshore reserves. 2.5.2. Council's expectations of the community As a measure of public appreciation of foreshore reserves, numerous community groups contribute countless volunteer hours to their protection and restoration. The involvement of community groups is an integral component of Council’s management strategy and provides for community participation through Council’s Bush Care and Park Care programmes.

Page 4 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

Given the demonstrated commitment of so many residents, it is reasonable for Council to further the aim of increased collaboration with residents. This aim recognised our common ownership of these resources and acknowledges shared responsibility for their management and protection.

Collaborative management does not necessarily require direct involvement through one of Council’s Care programmes. Rather it requires an acknowledgement of the inter-reliance between Council and the community for the protection of these areas. The length of coastline supporting foreshore reserves is measured in kilometres. As such, Council cannot guarantee that negative impacts will not be occasioned or that vandalism will not occur. Increasing community and Council awareness of the need to work collaboratively will contribute significantly to the protection of these areas in the long term. 2.6. Legislative & policy framework The management of public land requires compliance with a suite of Commonwealth and State government legislation and policy.

A brief description of relevant government legislation and policy follows with a more detailed description provided in Appendix One & Two. 2.6.1. Legislation influencing foreshore reserve management The main pieces of legislation that guide and direct management of Council owned and managed foreshore reserves include:

3. PROVISIONS

The following policy provisions are based on management issues identified through a range of public consultations for successive Council Management Plans as well as for City Plan, Estuary Management Plans, Stormwater Management Plan, generic Plans of Management and specific area Plans of Management. Public consultation has taken the form of public meetings, written submissions and direct comment through Estuary Management Task Forces. These plans are also informed by ad hoc requests from residents in response to perceived environmental threats. Management issues have also been identified by a range of Commonwealth and State legislation introduced to manage identified conflicts.

In the following section, a clear statement of intent with regard to Council’s position supports the description of the specific Management Issue. In many cases, Council’s position has already been articulated via an adopted Management Plan, Estuary Management Plan or other strategic planning document. This policy aims to draw together all identified Management Issues to more clearly enunciate Council’s commitment to foreshore reserves. 3.1. Community involvement The role of the community is especially important to ensure restoration and ongoing protection of foreshore reserves. As described above, Council’s ‘Care’ programmes provide the opportunity for persons to be involved in a range of Council-authorised activities through ‘Care’ groups (i.e. Bushcare/Parkcare groups). The work of these groups provides ‘value added’ outcomes and a sense of community pride in these reserves. Where possible, the activities of ‘Care’ groups will be locally promoted to highlight the activities of the group and to raise awareness of local environmental issues.

Through improved management of the volunteer program, Council is achieving practical and meaningful outcomes that provide volunteers with social, educational and health benefits as rewards for their efforts.

Policy Statement

 Council will continue to actively support, promote and develop ‘Care’ groups (i.e. Bushcare / Parkcare groups) working on approved restoration and improvement projects. Community members who wish to contribute to the management of a foreshore reserve(s) are encouraged to join the programme.

Page 6 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

3.2. Community education Scientific inquiry has confirmed the complexity of natural systems and processes. Quality outcomes in foreshore management are a product of sound scientific information blended with sound decision making processes. Community involvement in decision making is critical to good, workable outcomes. However, given the complexity of information on natural systems, Council is obliged to work with its staff and the community to ensure appropriate information is provided to facilitate quality decision making.

Council has identified this need in a range of strategic planning documents, in particular, Estuary Management Plans. To effectively meet the stated objectives of these plans, Council shall develop an education plan to cover the specific issues raised in these plans.

Policy Statement

 Council will foster collaborative and responsible foreshore management through the preparation of educational material to raise awareness in the form of newsletters, interpretative signage, leaflets and brochures.

 Council will facilitate a common understanding among staff of the foreshore policy by training staff involved in implementation. 3.3. Protection (buffer) zones Healthy, intact foreshores are necessary for the protection of private property from extreme weather/climatic events as was seen in a number of locations including Mollymook and Collingwood Beach in 1974 and as is currently evident through natural processes at Culburra and Currarong. Under storm wave attack the sand stored in our dune systems is transported offshore where it forms bars across which waves break, dissipating their energy before reaching the shoreline. Lack of a healthy store of sand in a dune system exacerbates erosion at the shoreline and increases the distance inland that waves can penetrate.

Foreshore reserves therefore play a critical role in protecting property from the threat of erosion from ocean storms, flooding following heavy rains and stream bank erosion along rivers and creeks. Many dune systems and foreshores have been weakened through development and vegetation clearing. This policy aims to highlight the importance of these systems in storm-proofing urban areas.

Recognition of the buffering capacity of foreshore reserves will facilitate responsible collaborative management of the Shoalhaven’s foreshore reserve network to ensure the integrity of these protection zones is maintained to a high level. Given the scale of impacts on foreshores across the City, it is appropriate to raise public awareness of the important function of these areas through public education as discussed above.

Policy Statement

Page 7 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

 Council shall further its collaborative management approach through appropriate public awareness-raising of the buffering (protective) role of foreshore reserves to ensure improved levels of protection for private property.

 Council’s preference is for approved remediation of foreshore buffer zones that have been malicious damaged by an identified person(s) prior to the use of available legal provisions.

3.4. Vegetation removal Healthy foreshore vegetation communities are central to the sustainability of foreshore reserves for current and future generations of Shoalhaven residents.

The need for intact coastal/foreshore vegetation communities has been noted above in terms of the important role they play in protecting private property and public infrastructure. The extrinsic value of foreshore vegetation for wind-breaks, bank stabilisation or shade is strongly recognised by the community. This policy also recognises the intrinsic value of foreshore vegetation for the protection it affords to wildlife – particularly native birds – and for its representation of original vegetation communities. These values have shaped Council policy in Estuary Management Plans and Plans of Management for public reserves.

Council is committed to combating the wilful destruction of vegetation on public land. Where there is irrefutable evidence of tree destruction by poisoning, cutting or other means, Council will take steps to raise awareness of the specific act of vandalism through regulatory/advisory signage. In addition, Council’s Ranger Services will letter-box-drop the adjoining properties informing them of the important role of foreshore vegetation and Council’s commitment to its protection, requesting information and advising of the penalties under the legislation. Attempts will also be made to raise community awareness through the media to publicise the scale of the problem in some localities.

It is recommended that signage convey a simple but effective message to residents. In the past, signs contained a variety of wording. It is appropriate to simplify and standardise this approach by simply signposting ‘Tree Vandalism Site’. This step is recommended in view of growing concern as shown by a significant increase in the number of such incidents reported by the public. An example of the recommended sign is shown as Appendix Four.

In locations/areas where Council has identified ongoing and/or significant unauthorised removal of vegetation, Council will act to implement measure to identify the offenders to remediate/rehabilitate the damaged area. Council will also consider installation of signage or pursue other measures deemed appropriate. In such instances it is proposed to report the circumstances and extent of damage to appropriate Committees of Council for guidance and direction on action to be taken.

Fallen or cut timber in low use non-maintained natural foreshore areas will be made safe to ensure no risk to reserve users. Fallen timbers in natural foreshore areas shall be left in the location in which they fall or are placed if they impinge upon public use. Whether they fall into the water or on land, their role in the provision of habitat, shelter or food is recognised.

Policy Statement

Page 8 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

 Council will raise the community’s awareness of the negative impacts of vegetation removal within foreshore reserves through media releases, regulatory/advisory signage and letter-box-drops of adjoining residences.

 Fallen timbers in low use non-maintained natural foreshore areas shall be made safe by Council and remain on site to provide for habitat, shelter or food for dependant organisms.

 Fallen timbers in high use maintained foreshore areas shall be removed in accordance with Council’s maintenance schedule to minimise evident public risk.

 Council’s preference is for approved remediation where illegal removal or damage to foreshore vegetation has occurred by identified person(s) prior to the use of available legal provisions.

 In locations/areas where Council has identified ongoing and/or significant unauthorised removal of vegetation, Council will act to implement measures to identify the offenders to remediate/rehabilitate the damaged area. Council will also consider installation of signage or pursue other measures deemed appropriate.

3.5. Public enjoyment & aesthetic qualities Foreshore reserves are recognised and valued for the recreational opportunities they provide. Council is committed to effective recreation planning to deliver a range of products and services to meet diverse recreational needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. Foreshore areas will be developed to a range of standards. In some instances, foreshore reserves will be highly developed to meet the needs of high visitation (e.g. boat launching facilities; large capacity picnic facilities) while others will be developed at a lower level commensurate with the community’s desire for walking or relaxation or the protection of cultural or natural heritage values.

High use areas will be appropriately appointed to ensure that the level of use does not degrade the resource or detract from the aesthetic or environmental qualities of the area. Low impact areas including walking tracks will be managed to reduce risk to users and potential environmental impact. These commitments have been described in Council- adopted Estuary Management Plans, Recreation Strategy, Walking Tracks Strategy and Parks Enhancement Policy.

Policy Statement

 Through community consultation, Council will accurately identify community demand for a range of facilities on foreshore reserves.

 Council will meet identified recreational demand through a hierarchical reserve system that is appropriately resourced to meet the stated objectives of adopted plans and strategies. 3.6. Views The tension between healthy coastal/foreshore vegetation communities and views in foreshore areas is recognised. In recognising this issue, this policy aims to provide direction on the matter.

Page 9 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

Given that the majority of foreshore land is Crown land, Council recognises the state-wide constituency of interest. Given also local community input into natural resource management plans and the stated environmental commitments in Council’s Community Strategic Plan and which reflect the broad environmental values of Shoalhaven residents, it is recognised that community opinion is in favour of protecting trees and other vegetation on public land.

As stated above, foreshore vegetation is critical to the stability of foreshore reserves and in turn, the safety of private property. For this reason, maintenance of well vegetated foreshores is paramount.

Where Council is required to revegetate foreshore lands following unauthorised removal of vegetation, such revegetation will aim, at a minimum, to restore the former quality of the Reserve – the status quo. Where Council is required to revegetate foreshore lands in response to erosion or other identified environmental threat, and where such action might remove views previously enjoyed by residents, it shall attempt to revegetate with a mix of tall and low growing plants with a view to preservation of visual amenity for residents potentially affected. This will encourage community participation in planning for and planting of the foreshore reserve.

The retention of intact foreshore vegetation communities not only protects public and private assets, it also preserves a backdrop of native vegetation for beach-goers. This will confirm resident’s expectations for their enjoyment of the Shoalhaven coastline as an area of significant and accessible natural beauty and will prevent beaches being overlooked or dominated by large foreshore developments.

Policy Statement

 Where Council is required to revegetate foreshore lands following unauthorised removal of vegetation, such revegetation will be done in consultation with surrounding property owners with the aim to restore the status quo.

3.7. Pedestrian & vehicle access Public access to public land is a core component of government legislation and policy. In particular, the Local Government Act and the Crown Lands Act specifically mandate the land manager (usually Councils) to provide for appropriate use of the land. Appropriate use is defined for each specific categorisation/reservation under the legislation. The legislation recognises the relative environmental significance of each categorisation/reservation. The Local Government Act is very specific with regard to what are appropriate uses for community land categorised ‘foreshore’ (see Generic Community Land Plan of Management – Natural Areas; and S36 of the Local Government Act).

Council aims to provide appropriate pedestrian access to facilitate enjoyment of foreshores under its ownership or management via approved maintained areas or walking tracks. Council’s Walking Tracks Strategy actively promotes this use.

Page 10 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

Uses that can cause negative environmental impacts include vehicular access to the rear of properties or the construction of illegal structures such as concrete boat ramps to facilitate access to the water from private property. The construction of structures without authorisation has the potential to alienate public land, and is prohibited. Removal of such structures, if installed for personal or exclusive use, shall be at the owner’s expense.

The use of community land to access private properties is prohibited by the Local Government Act and would in most cases contravene the gazetted public purpose of a Crown reserve. The driving of vehicles on public reserves can create conflict with the public’s general use of the area and often contributes to soil erosion and vegetation loss. Council will control unauthorised vehicle access use of public reserves by erecting physical barriers, issuing infringement notices, fines and/or legal action.

Policy Statement

 Council shall provide appropriate pedestrian access to facilitate enjoyment of foreshores under its ownership or management via approved maintained areas or walking tracks.

 Council prohibits unauthorised vehicular access to private property across a reserve. 3.8. Boating Foreshore reserves play an important role in meeting the recreational needs of residents and visitors to the Shoalhaven. Boating is recognised by Council as a significant recreational activity and foreshore reserves are recognised as generally providing appropriate points of access to the water.

Boat launching and boat storage have been identified in Estuary Management Plans as having the potential to damage foreshore areas. This policy aims to clarify Council’s management intention with regard to these issues.

Council’s adopted Waterways Asset Management Plan meets the bulk of demand for boat launching. This strategy provides for Council’s future development of major and minor boat launching facilities. In addition, there are a large number of informal facilities that service local needs. These are not recognised in the Asset Management Plan, but are identified and will be managed in accordance with this policy.

The main environmental impact of informal boat launching is bank erosion. Council’s responsibility applies to areas above high water mark only. To counter this problem, Council will, in consultation with the local community, assess demand and formalise launching at designated points through construction of appropriate facilities. Action will be taken to revegetate eroding banks following such upgrades. This work shall be funded through an allocation under Council’s Waterways program.

Inappropriate boat storage causes negative impacts on foreshore vegetation. Where this issue has been previously identified in Council adopted plans, action is proposed to construct boat storage racks. Where dinghies are stored on non-native grassed areas, long-term negative impact can be avoided. Where boats are stored in natural areas, loss of foreshore vegetation frequently occurs, leading to a cascade of environmental degradation. For this reason, it is proposed to implement the planned action of boat storage racks for dinghies only

Page 11 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy in those areas where persistent negative impacts occur. The concurrence of the local community will be sought to providing such storage where such damage is evident.

Storage of larger boats (those which cannot be launched or retrieved by hand) and/or trailer mounted boats on foreshore reserves, is prohibited. Council will meet its legal obligations through improvement notices, fines or legal proceedings to ensure compliance with this policy.

Policy Statement

 Council recognises boating as a significant recreational activity and foreshore reserves are recognised as generally providing an appropriate point of access to the water.

 Council will endeavour to formalise boat launching or seek alternative sites where such activity is causing environmental degradation.

 Council will endeavour to construct boat storage racks where boat storage is causing damage to foreshore vegetation.

 Council prohibits unauthorised storage of large boats (i.e. those which cannot be launched/ retrieved by hand) or trailer-mounted boats on its managed reserves. 3.9. Unauthorised encroachments Unauthorised encroachments are considered illegal extensions of property boundaries, buildings, gardens or other features onto public land. It also applies to the unauthorised occupation of public land through the storage of trailers, caravans, vehicles, large boats (see definition above), wood piles, barbecues or any other materials. Unauthorised encroachments have the ability to alienate land from public use, pose significant environmental and/or public risk, or compromise service vehicle/emergency access.

Council is committed to the removal of unauthorised encroachments on foreshore reserve areas. This will involve Council Officers first assessing (assessment sheet provided as Appendix 5) and consulting with the community about an unauthorised encroachment prior to notifying the owner of the encroachment. If the owner of the encroachment is not easily identifiable, Council will notify surrounding residents.

In the circumstance where Council has determined that an unauthorised encroachment has demonstrable community benefit, the encroachment will be registered as a Council asset. Unauthorised septic tank, septic line or building encroachments will be referred to Council’s Director, Development & Environmental Services for assessment.

Unauthorised encroachments which do not provide demonstrable community benefit, pose significant environmental and/or public risk, compromise service vehicle/emergency access, or conflicts with legislative and policy obligations will be removed and if required the reserve rehabilitated at the expense of the owner.

Page 12 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

Where unauthorised encroachments are identified, officers from Council's Ranger Services are authorised to take action to resolve the matter which may include issuing an infringement notice, fine or legal action to remove the encroachment from public land and restore the area.

Policy Statement

 The construction of unauthorised structures on public land is prohibited.

 Council will assess, consult and work with the community to remove unauthorised encroachments from public lands that do not provide demonstrable community benefit, pose significant environmental and/or public risk, compromise service vehicle/emergency access, or conflicts with legislative and policy obligations.

 Unauthorised septic tank, septic line or building encroachments will be referred to Council’s Director, Development & Environmental Services for assessment.

3.10. Bushfire mitigation Council has a responsibility under the Rural Fires Act, 1997 to “prevent the occurrence of bush fires on, and to minimise the danger of the spread of bush fires on and from…any land vested in or under its control and management”. Additionally, significant natural areas need to be protected from wildfire.

Bushfire management in the Shoalhaven is undertaken according to the Bushfire Risk Management Plan adopted by the Shoalhaven District Bush Fire Risk Management Committee in 2010.

Bushfire mitigation activities on Council owned/managed lands are undertaken in accordance with: Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (Shoalhaven) 2010, Guidelines for Asset Protection Zones, (RFS), Planning for Bushfire Protection (RFS/DPI), Shoalhaven LEP 1985 and Shoalhaven City Council Community Land Plan of Management – Natural Areas.

Generally, bushfire mitigation activities are only required on land mapped as Bushfire Prone although consideration is given to sites that are not mapped as Bushfire Prone but have a history of ignitions.

Isolated areas of vegetation such as riparian corridors and foreshore areas may not be considered a significant bushfire hazard as they are not large enough to produce fire of an intensity that will threaten dwellings. Riparian areas are generally characterised by species with relatively higher moisture content than woodland/heath species and create a humid microclimate. Foreshore areas, particularly dune systems can be more flammable as they consist of species containing volatile oils and small dry leaf structures. However, their location on the eastern seaboard and the influence of the coastal environment generally

Page 13 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy tempers the ferocity of fire in these locations. Further, the fragmented nature of these ecological systems within the urban environment lessens the ability of fire to spread.

Owners of adjoining lands do not have the right to undertake bushfire hazard reduction activities on public land without approval. Asset Protection Zones (APZ) must be established for any new development. Permission to establish APZ’s for an adjoining freehold development on public land will only be granted in exceptional cases, such as proposals involving infill developments or additions to existing developments where no other options are available. Any proposal to establish an APZ for new freehold subdivisions on adjoining public land will not be supported.

Policy statement

 Applications for fire hazard reduction will be assessed by Council’s Fire Mitigation Officer.

 Permission to establish APZ’s for an adjoining freehold development on public land will only be granted by Council in exceptional cases, such as proposals involving infill developments or additions to existing developments where no other options are available.

 Council will not support any proposal to establish an APZ for new freehold subdivisions adjoining public land.

3.11. Stormwater Foreshores are the interface between aquatic and terrestrial systems and can be heavily impacted by stormwater flowing into rivers, lakes, estuaries, wetlands or the ocean. Foreshore reserves play an important role in Council’s stormwater management. They can provide stormwater detention and/or cleansing prior to discharge into receiving waters.

The practice of direct discharge of stormwater from private property into foreshore reserves can impact on the public enjoyment of the reserves through the creation of wet areas with consequent damage to vegetation unused to saturated root conditions and/or proliferation of weed growth. Stormwater from adjoining residences shall be managed via inter-allotment drainage and should discharge directly into a stormwater facility of Council (pit, drain, channel, pipe etc.). . High impact solutions will be considered in circumstances where:

 The site is within Areas of cliff/slope Instability (5.1.2) or ‘other areas of potential coastal instability (s5.1.3) identified in Chapter G6 in the Shoalhaven DCP 2014;  The proposed development will not result in an increase geotechnical risk;  Other options for stormwater disposal have been exhausted (e.g. charged system, use of stormwater pump); and  The proponent is able to demonstrate that the discharge of collected stormwater from their property through the community land will meet the core objectives of the plan of management applying to the land.

Policy Statement

Page 14 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

 Stormwater from adjoining residences shall be managed via inter-allotment drainage and should discharge via an approved easement directly into a stormwater facility of Council as permitted by the Local Government At. High impact solutions will be considered on a case by case basis.

3.12. Illegal dumping Foreshore reserves are often used as a place to dump garden clippings and other rubbish. The dumping of green rubbish causes a variety of environmental problems, in particular the growth of weed species which reduces the aesthetic attraction of the reserve. Generally, weeds tend to out-compete and often smother native vegetation and destroy native fauna habitat.

The relative isolation of some foreshore reserves results in the dumping of household or industrial rubbish. Apart from the negative aesthetic impact, the dumping of such rubbish may destroy vegetation or create a pollution risk.

Policy Statement

 Council’s preference is for approved remediation where a person(s) is found dumping rubbish within a foreshore reserve prior to the use of available legal provisions.

 Council will raise the community’s awareness of the impacts of rubbish dumping within foreshore reserves through letter-box-drops and/or regulatory/advisory signage. 3.13. Mowing Council, residents and organised ‘Care’ groups mow foreshore reserves. In many cases, mowing of reserves by residents commenced following the subdivision of new areas. In most cases such mowing is appropriate and desirable to provide for the recreational, access and safety needs of residents and visitors.

Council values voluntary mowing of grass/lawn by residents and organised ‘Care’ groups on its managed land as a valuable maintenance contribution up to an appropriate distance from a property boundary, providing this activity does not damage a riparian or natural foreshore area.

The requirements on Council for responsible foreshore reserve management have increased over the years with the development of Federal and State legislation and policy. As they relate to foreshore areas, laws and policy generally encourage the use of native vegetation to provide physical stability and biodiversity conservation. Conflict emerges sometimes with residents when mowing operations appear to damage or otherwise compromise the structural stability of riparian areas or natural foreshore areas.

This policy aims to allow a sensible approach to Council’s environmental obligations and the community’s need for surrounding property maintenance. Grass cutting can therefore be allowed to an appropriate distance in riparian or natural foreshore areas to allow for the mixed depth of root development for bank stabilisation provided by native vegetation.

Policy Statement

Page 15 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

 Council values voluntary mowing of grass/lawn on its managed land as a valuable maintenance contribution up to an appropriate distance from a property boundary, providing this activity does not damage riparian or natural foreshore areas.

 Grass cutting can be allowed to an appropriate distance in riparian or natural foreshore areas to allow for the mixed depth of root development for bank stabilisation provided by native vegetation.

 Voluntary mowing of grass/lawn on Council managed land may be endorsed under one of Council’s ‘Care’ programmes.

 Where a member of the public wishes to commence mowing of grass/lawn on Council managed land, they must first approach Council for authorisation and guidance.

3.14. Pets & feral animals Council’s Strategic Companion Animals Policy addresses a range of issues relating to pet animals and their appropriate management in the public domain. Issues specific to this policy include the potential for unsupervised pets such as dogs and cats to significantly impact on native fauna within foreshore reserves.

Council has designated a number of sites Citywide where dogs are permitted off-leash in its Access Areas For Dogs Policy. Dogs are permitted on-leash at all locations unless signage states otherwise. Officers from Council's Animal Management Unit are authorised to impound unsupervised dogs and to issue infringements for breaches under the Companion Animals Act.

Feral cats and foxes prey on native fauna. Rabbits negatively impact reserves by grazing on shoots/seedlings and eroding areas with their burrowing. Council will work with Livestock Health and Pest Authority officers to eradicate feral animals from foreshore reserves when their numbers/activities constitute a threat to the health of local plant or animal communities.

Policy Statement

 Council is committed to taking necessary action by authorised officers to deal with unsupervised domestic animals in foreshore reserves and with breaches in accordance with the Companion Animals Act 1998.

 Council will work with the Livestock Health and Pest Authority to eradicate feral animals from foreshore reserves when their numbers/activities constitute a threat to the health of local plant or animal communities.

 Matters pertaining to the management of domestic dog access be referred to Council’s Access Areas For Dogs Policy. 3.15. Seaweed and/or other deposits of natural materials In many foreshore locations, natural processes periodically combine to impact on normal human enjoyment of the area. These can include erosion/sedimentation plumes, deposition of upper catchment detritus along watercourses or deposition of seaweed and other algae on beaches.

Page 16 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

In some cases these outcomes are a result of human activity. In others, it is an entirely normal reflection of the seasonal rhythms of nature. In the former case, Council’s main function is to minimise human impacts through effective on-site management of activities which may have a negative downstream impact. Where such impacts occur, it is recognised that attempts to ameliorate damage may result in more damaging environmental outcomes. In such cases, expert evaluation will be engaged to assist with determination of the most appropriate action given the inevitably complex nature of foreshore, estuary or coastal management processes.

Where the identified impact is a result of natural processes, Council recognises the seasonality of such processes and their significance to dependant ecosystems. Unless they represent an unacceptable level of risk to users of an area, Council will take no direct action and will recommend suspension of normal recreational activities in those areas until such time as the natural process has cycled and the area is once again fit for recreational purposes. As an example, the seasonal dumping of seaweed and algae on some Jervis Bay beaches is recognised as significant to the normal nutrient cycling in the Bay and to the wide range of organisms that depend on this seasonal distribution of nutrients. The Department of Primary Industries has adopted a policy of allowing the collection of small quantities of seagrass/seaweed wrack (defined as 20kg/person/day) without the need for a permit.

Policy statement

 Council considers seaweed and/or other deposits of natural materials on foreshore reserves to be part of natural processes and no intervention is proposed.

 Council will engage expert evaluation to assist with determination of the most appropriate action where large seaweed or other deposits of natural materials are a result of a natural process which may involve suspension of normal recreational activities and off peak tourist activities in those areas until such time as the natural process has cycled to remove the recreational impediment.

Policy Statement

 Matters pertaining to the management of wharves and jetties shall be referred to Council’s Wharves & Jetties Policy. 3.17. Aboriginal cultural heritage As foreshores support a highly productive ecosystem it is not surprising that Aboriginal sites and places of significance to Aboriginal people are common within Council owned and managed foreshore reserves. Some of the sites such as shell middens are fragile and subject to degradation through such activities as unauthorised vehicle access or the

Page 17 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy formation of unplanned pedestrian tracks. Erosion exacerbated by visitor use may expose relics or sites.

Council recognises the legitimate interest of Aboriginal people in Aboriginal sites management. Therefore Council commits to consult with the local Aboriginal Land Council and relevant Aboriginal community groups with regard to the management of sites and aboriginal places on foreshore reserves.

Policy Statement

 Council is committed to the protection of significant Aboriginal sites and foreshore places that are of cultural significance to local Aboriginal people.

 Council will manage Aboriginal sites and foreshore places that are of cultural significance in consultation with local Aboriginal people. 3.18. Shorebirds Shoalhaven’s foreshore reserves are important habitat of the beach nesting Hooded Plover (Thinornis rubicollis) (endangered), Little Tern (Sterna albifrons) (endangered) and Pied Oystercatcher (Haemotopus longirostris) (vulnerable), and the Sooty Oystercatcher (H. fuliginosus) (vulnerable), which prefers to nest on offshore islands. Major declines in the population and distribution of all four species are attributed to a combination of natural and human-induced threats, including habitat loss, flooding of nests, accidental trampling by humans and off road vehicles. Shorebird eggs and chicks are also highly susceptible to predation by both native (e.g. Australian Raven and Silver Gull) and introduced (e.g. Red Fox, cat and domestic dog) species.

A South Coast Shorebird Recovery Program has been underway for a number of years. The program involves monitoring breeding activities and protection of important areas through fencing, fox control, signage, partial temporary closure of beaches, and restrictions on the walking of dogs. The program also aims to raise public awareness of the conservation status, recovery efforts, habitat importance and the biology of shorebirds through publicity, media and active community involvement.

Policy Statement

 Council will work with the Office of Environment and Heritage on recovery programs for the protection of threatened species and their habitats. 3.19. Policy provisions summary The following policy summary has been derived from the above policy provisions and where any conflicts with a Council-adopted specific area Plan of Management, State or Federal policy or legislation, the provisions of the adopted plan, policy or legislation will apply: 3.19.1.

Page 28 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

8. APPENDIX TWO - RELEVANT POLICY

The main policy documents that influence management of Council owned and managed foreshore reserves include:

8.1 NSW Coastal Policy 1997

The primary objective of the NSW Coastal Policy is to protect the coastline and beaches for the enjoyment of future generations and to ensure that coastal development is balanced, well planned and environmentally sensitive.

The Policy addresses a number of key coastal themes including:

 population growth in terms of physical locations and absolute limits;  coastal water quality issues, especially in estuaries;  disturbance of acid sulphate soils;  establishing an adequate, comprehensive and representative system of reserves;  better integration of the range of government agencies and community organisations involved in coastal planning and management;  Indigenous and European cultural heritage; and  integration of the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) into coastal zone management and decision making

8.2 NSW Coastline Hazard Policy 1990

The primary objective of this policy is to reduce the impact of coastal hazards and to reduce losses resulting from natural coastal forces through the application of effective planning and development controls by local councils, and by undertaking timely and effective mitigating works and other measures.

8.3 NSW Wetlands Management Policy 1996

The NSW Wetlands Management Policy aims to minimise any further loss or degradation of wetlands and where possible, restore degraded wetlands. The policy does this by encouraging the management of wetlands so as to halt or, where possible, reverse: loss of wetland vegetation; declining water quality; declining natural productivity; loss of biological diversity; and declining natural flood mitigation.

8.4 City Plan (Shoalhaven City Council) June 2000

Shoalhaven City Council’s City Plan is a strategic plan for the Shoalhaven that will help guide the future direction of our City over the next 20 years and beyond. It identifies the following Vision:

“We will work together in the Shoalhaven to foster a safe, attractive place for people to live, work, stay and play; where growth, development and environmental protection are managed to provide a unique and relaxed lifestyle”.

Page 29 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

The plan identifies key objectives and strategies that Council will use in day to day decision- making and actions to ensure the Shoalhaven achieves its vision under four Principal Activity areas – Environment, Economy, Community and Council. The objective for protecting the environment is to maintain and improve the high quality of our natural resources as well as for Council owned assets.

8.5 Generic Community Land Plan of Management for Natural Areas (SCC) July 2001

The Plan of Management for Natural Areas covers all Community Land categorised by Shoalhaven City Council as Natural Area and the further categories of bushland, wetland, escarpment, watercourse or foreshore. The Plan’s management objectives and actions are guided by the Local Government Act 1993 and Part 3 of the Local Government (General) Regulation 1999.

8.6 NSW State Rivers and Estuary Policy 1996

The objectives and principals of the State Rivers and Estuary Policy stem from the need to achieve sustainable management of the State’s rivers and estuaries. The policy is based on the fact that aquatic and semi aquatic ecosystems fulfil crucial ecological, geomorphic and chemical functions within a catchment. These functions are essential for the maintenance of both human and natural systems and therefore the long term viability of all the uses and values of the riverine environment.

8.7 Estuary Management Plans (Shoalhaven City Council)

Estuary Management Plans provide a comprehensive and integrated set of strategies to enhance, protect and conserve the natural resources of a specific estuary system and its catchments so as to ensure that its use is ecologically sustainable in the long term. These plans are guided by the NSW Coastal Policy.

Council has adopted Estuary Management Plans for:

 Currarong Creek  St Georges Basin  Swan Lake and Berrara Creek  Tabourie Lake  Burrill Lake  Lake Conjola  Narrawallee Inlet

8.8 Shoalhaven City Council Wharves & Jetties Policy

The policy states that no private jetty or structure will be permitted off publicly owned waterfront land other than for a community use or for an approved commercial purpose when it can be demonstrated that water access is essential, (e.g. hiring of boats) and it does not conflict with the public interest.

Page 30 Shoalhaven City Council - Foreshore Reserves Policy

This policy has been in operation since 1963 and is necessary to retain valuable waterfront land for its primary purpose, i.e. to provide access to the water for the general public. The policy will also help maintain the visual amenity of foreshore areas.

8.9 Shoalhaven City Council Local Environmental Plan (1985)

The aims of the Shoalhaven City Council LEP are:

a) to provide guidelines in accordance with the objects of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (1979) for orderly and timely development and management of land use in the City; b) to enhance individual and community well-being and welfare by following a path of economic development that does not impair the welfare of future generations; and c) to work towards an ecologically sustainable future through the proper management, development, protection, restoration, enhancement and conservation of the environment of the City.
