Warrnambool City Council Is Committed to Safer Launching And Warrnambool City Council is committed to safer launching and retrieval of boats in Lady Bay In Warrnambool, boating has long been a challenge An 1867 report proposed a port and breakwater. In 1887, after two decades of discussion, the breakwater was built. Once the decision was made, it took eight years to complete It was extended by 100m in the 1910s In the modern era, Council has moved cautiously when it comes to structural modifications in Lady Bay Some believe more infrastructure to cater for more fishing boats would provide an economic boon for Warrnambool Others believe making changes could damage what it is people love about Lady Bay Lady Bay’s future has many stakeholders Boaters The next generation Sailors Walkers Walkers Residents Surfers Developers Anglers Environmentalists CoastCare Cyclists Business Tourists Joggers Government Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Australian boat launching standards recommend launching in waves of less than 20cm All three safer boating options now before the community for discussion will make launching and retrieval of boats significantly safer. Picture: Dan Atkinson Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay The bay is already a dynamic environment Changing or modifying the breakwater could have consequences elsewhere along the bay The Port of Warrnambool In summary . The Port of Warrnambool is located in a sensitive coastal environment. Warrnambool’s identity draws heavily from its coastline. While alterations to this environment have occurred over time, there is a need to consider potential impacts on both the land and marine ecology. Alterations to harbour facilities, coastal, and marine environments are heavily regulated at State and Federal levels. It will be important to understand and avoid potentially harmful impacts on the natural environment including the Merri Marine Sanctuary. Issues of potential changes to sea level and storm / swell conditions as a result of climate change have been fully considered. Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay In late 2014 Warrnambool City Council established technical and community reference groups to investigate options to make launching and retrieving boats at Lady Bay safer. The reference groups comprising scientists, Lady Bay user group representatives and members of the public, identified three preferred safer boating options. Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Option A B C The time under each option 90% 100% 100% that waves at the boat ramp would be below 20cm (Australian standard for boat launching) Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Option A: upgrade existing facilities This option includes continued dredging (hatched area), widening the boat ramp and constructing it from porous material to diffuse wave energy. It is expected that this would make launching and retrieval of boats possible 90% of the time (for the remainder the of time it is likely that conditions would be unsuitable for smaller craft beyond the Breakwater). Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Option B: artificial groyne with spur breakwater A 110m long spur breakwater could be expected to provide additional reductions in wave heights. The artificial headland or groyne will help stabilise the beach to the north and reduce the amount of dredging required at the ramp. Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Option C: fully enclosed harbour Locating the boat ramp within a fully enclosed harbour would also eliminate any swell wave action at the ramp. Care would need to be taken with the design to avoid possible “seiching” (resonance) issues related to long waves. Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Groynes can be constructed from rocks or alternative materials including sand bags Portsea foreshore on the Mornington Peninsular Queensland coast between Cardwell and Innisfail Maroochy River mouth on the Sunshine Coast Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Severe erosion taking place along the beach South of the MaroochyClifton River Springs, mouth near was beginningGeelong to jeopardise The Cotton Tree Caravan Park on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland was protected via geotextile bags Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay South of the Maroochy River mouth at Maroochydore Severe erosion taking place along the beach South of the Maroochy RiverBack mouth of St was Leonards beginning offto jeopardiseGeelong The Cotton Tree Caravan Park on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland was protected via geotextile bags Safer boat launching and retrieval at Lady Bay Severe erosion taking place along the beach South of the Maroochy River mouth was beginning to jeopardise a caravan park on the Sunshine Coast.

    Mudjimba Beach Holiday Park We are talking all things NEW... The NEW Mudjimba Beach Holiday Park office is now open and what a great NEW work place it is for our staff and a perfect space to welcome our guests. Schools out soon and there are plenty of NEW indoor places to explore on the Sunshine Coast. A recent staff night out saw us competing with each other at the NEW bowling and putt putt centre at the Big Top We can highly recommend it for a fun time out. Also NEW at Sea Life Mooloolaba is the grey nurse sharks in the tunnel and the School holiday activity “Creature Quest” which is all about Australian Sea animals. Rachael and I enjoyed a complimentary visit to Sea Life. The seal show was exceptional. Enjoy the coast and all it has to offer and see you soon With the new shiny amenity and modern camp kitchen now open. The facility is a welcome addition to the holiday park, servicing the new 46 sites which was constructed in 2016. From the Mudjimba Team. Cotton Tree Holiday Park History of the Cotton Tree Caravan Park - Part 2: By the 1910s, the encampment, advertised as 'Nature's Pick Me Up', had extended to two weeks duration. Tents were available for hire, erected for a small fee. Meals were offered in the dining tent and a large marquee was used for gatherings, while a kiosk operated by the Salvation Army sold bread, soft drinks, lollies and fruit. Two other private kiosks were in operation on the site by 1913.

  • 6 the Sunshine Coast Shoreline and Preferred Erosion Management
    6 The Sunshine Coast shoreline and preferred erosion management options The process for determining what erosion management option is considered preferable at a particular beach unit involves the identification of coastal processes and resources and the associated natural, social and economic values and determining the impacts and relative significance of each. For the purposes of the SEMP, the coastline has been divided into four shoreline management zones made up of 28 beach management units, or ‘localities’, for individual investigation based on physical boundaries that affect coastal processes, such as headlands and river entrances. Maps for the four shoreline management zones are displayed in Appendix A, namely: • Zone 1: Coolum to Mudjimba • Zone 2: Mudjimba to Point Cartwright • Zone 3: Point Cartwright to Caloundra Headland • Zone 4: Caloundra Headland to Southern Boundary Beach management units are introduced and discussed in this section under their respective zones. This section provides an overview of the zone and beach specific processes, resources, values, erosion issues and management options. Each management zone is introduced through a discussion of the processes and high-level values and is accompanied by mapping. All beach management units within that zone are identified and a brief overview is provided for lower risk beach management units where the erosion threat is low or action to protect public land or other infrastructure is not required in the next 10 years. It is proposed that these lower risk issues will be dealt with in more detail by the coastal land management planning or, for medium to high priority issues in the longer term, be administered and dealt with in future reviews of the SEMP or through other strategic planning processes, as is appropriate.
