collaroy sea wall protest

For the most part I understand buybacks but, how will they appraise the value of these properties? I wouldnt have thought there would be much fetch? There's no homes or businesses, or very few to speak of- doesn't come close to justifying the cost of the wall. Get Pro. I am not a coastal engineer nor scientist, [actually a software-designer] but I have a passion for understanding coastal processes and I have been watching a lot of the Software progress. That's so shithouse I don't know where to start, Zen. If they approached the landowners then the most they would be offered is market value. Zen, it looks like an absolute disaster but Im guessing its not so much about coastal erosion but more about tsunami mitigation?? 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. For some it. Though with 80 properties at risk, and coastal real estate prices at a premium, they gave up on that approach in 2007. Multiple reports have previously shown a better cost effective way to protect public infrastructure on that stretch. Hey BD. That 3-4x the height of the curved revetment? Thanks Lilas, totally get where you're coming from and taken on board. Stupid dumbfucks. Another week, another pumping day in the south-west of France. 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. Ha! The seven metres protruding above sea level is vertical, even going beyond vertical for the final metre to prevent wave overtopping. Edit: The estuary was in an area protected from the ocean and the cliffs only faced small wind chop and the tides. There's been a lot written about the challenges of the various adaptation options, including the purchase of private lands. Posted the story from that link here. These very costly bandaids never work and continue to fail while extending the problem to adjacent properties that don't have the wall. While celebrating his record for coastal protection with a park on the Collaroy-Narrabeen stretch, Northern Beaches council was also processing a Development Application thatd threaten the very same beach. How many parts of the great ocean rd could have to close and the emergency that would lead to. The State Government essentially provided the compensation for the business to relocate to another 'suitable' site. Dates announced for Spencer Frost and Guy Williment's film shot in Russia's far east. Construction costs are 80% homeowner funded. There is a common denominator here, "Coastal" engineers with a lack of knowledge and understanding of coastal processes. Basically the awarding of contracts falls across a couple of ministries. It just doesn't make the engineering firms any money or contribute to gross state product under the current economic system. Make his name famous: Peter Horton. 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.". In their natural state, sand dunes are dynamic and in a constant state of flux. "Once this is up it'll be a momentum for others to do it too," said Orth. Get access to long-range forecasts, hourly graphs and ad-free webcams. The council will buy me out at any price if things get too hot". I can see everybody getting angry here on SN..but what are the solutions to seal level rise , Short term and long term. I've looked at the general location plan of the cables and it seems there is a good say 500m- 1000m distance between groups of them along the beach, and they are buried for the first 500m out from the shore, so I would say there is a good chance of working within those areas in consultation with the cable authorities. I looked into this again yesterday. Photograph: Northern Beaches Council Library Local Studies. This wicked problem is a result of intergenerational dumbness. High-quality Collaroy Wall Art designed and sold by artists. Plop! Futile. Just take the hit cost wise now and return the area to something close to its previous natural state. This is the only plausible outcome from the hard seawall construction and the engineers would have known this. Sorry wasnt specifically referring to collaroy which I completely agree has been a known and long term problem. The National Library of Australia's Copies Direct service lets you purchase higher quality, larger sized photocopies or electronic copies of newspapers pages. The legacy of that approach will be something future generations will have to live with.. People need to be absolutely on top of the approval process in their local area if they want to have a hope of preventing these structures. Its also been the focus point for opposition to coastal development; an abject lesson about what results from bad policy. Fvck the coastline. and who can afford to pay the rates and any rate increases due to sea wall construction costs, which will leave rate payers on low and middle incomes moving toward rather than away from poverty. They have destroyed every built form on the beaches. So whats your thoughts about using tax payers $'s to buy back endangered properties from natural erosion and as I asked Zen.are there any solutions other than just moving people property back from the Coast? 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. EDIT: Just to be clear, the issue of erosion has nothing to do with sea level rise, climate change, or buying the latest board. Unlike other approaches like soft beach nourishment, they offer a long term solution to shoreline erosion. Its brutalist engineering, says Gordon frankly. Would suck if you got amalgamated into Northern Beaches council then had to pay tax for this. 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. Jeez. 'This Pristine Beach Is One of Japans Last. And find outwhy you'll soon hear a hell of a lot more about them. Lance Knight. The above video might be of interest to help understand the design of the wall. Staged retreats seem the best option, but also some councils are genuinely desperate to embrace the most apocalyptic climate change forecasts. Installing the Pilings is the fourth step. High-quality Collaroy Beach Wall Art designed and sold by artists. Having said that, nature usually finds a way to overcome most "permanent" human structures, and they often seem to forget that the wall isn't continuous.yet. Here are the bloke credentials So would you like to inform me as to WHO designed this monstrosity if it wasn't an Engineer? It's propped up by the NSW and local governments way beyond the importance or value of that stretch of private land. This was done to ensure the wall would be up before people realised what it was. I cannot see how can this be a feasible long-term strategy from the cost perspective. Take a chill-pill mate, or possibly the whole packet as it appears you need them. "Sea walls do nothing to ensure the ongoing conservation of the beach in front of them," Mr Donohoe told crowds. The reason is the appearance of a concrete seawall along a stretch of beach between Wetherill Street and Stuart Street, which both run off busy Pittwater Road. Please include direct and indirect costs. If they were 100% against it but felt they had no choice but to design/sign it, then they simply have no morals/ethics/backbone. A quick trip Todos Santos way during a belting nor'west swell. Craig - we are expecting you to be down there at High Tide 11pm tonight with your Torch and Box Brownie for some more pics, Nah wait 'til tomorrow mornings high. It's going to be interesting to see how it holds up after this weekend/early next week with another round of resonably solid E/NE cyclone swell hitswho's going down to take more photos and show the aftermath?!! Rise seems nearly double than the run. Making it deeper? We all know there is significant increases in sea level rise..are we setting a precedent that if your coastal property succumbs to coastal erosion, you should be financially compensated? That's assuming the properties are still worth something to the market. OMG!!! 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. I liken it to a form of gambling. https://www.acma.gov.au/zone-protect-sydney-submarine-cables, That makes sense Ben. I think the wall is actually a good warning of exactly what governments mean by "adaptation and mitigation"..expensive projects for the construction industry rather than sound ecological management. The DA for the Collaroy seawall was approved while the Northern Beaches Council was under administration. That ABC article is spot on when it comes to waterfront properties. It appears that because of the relative lack of access to PC, the equation would be out of kilter to begin with. The UNSW Centre is called the Water Research Laboratory. gsco, I'd have thought that the first hurdle for any enhancement - besides the environmental impacts - would be the issue of access and whether the investment creates something with the most benefit for the most people. 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. In 2017, Gold Coast City Council funded, in conjunction with threatened property owners, an artificial reef offshore from Palm Beach. The council had an interest in preventing future erosion impacting Pittwater Rd, the main north-south artery on the NB. Hi Mark. 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. Thanks Lilas, 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. Should this critical lens be applied to other topics such as the Coolum wavepool? If no acquisition or buyback is made, then good luck to the owners trying to sell these properties. Sea level rise equation is based on the Bruun Rule to ascertain erosion in open coastal areas like Collaroy. Im just saying its a difficult issue, beachwall terrible and if its sets a precedent huge chunks of the coast stuffed. Do you know how deep the bedrock is? The best thing about it is that you can output actual 3d animations of the simulation so that EVERYONE can understand the results. https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/01/28/world/28israel6/28israel6-sup https://files.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/g Basque Wavegarden Project Has Far-Reaching Implications, Watch: Ryan Callinan // Beneath A Pear Tree, Kala Grace In Dramatic Rescue While Competing In Backdoor Shootout, 'Corners Of The Earth: Kamchatka' Tour Dates, Watch: Cronulla's Jarvis Earle Wins World Junior Title. 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. Councils of times gone by should never have approved houses to be built on the beach in known spots of erosion aswell as houses on the beach full stop as sand dunes have there purpose . With increased ocean levels comes all those properties around Botany Bay, Parramatta river, Georges river. Is it designed to behave like a bottle-neck? Not sure if that happened though. Ive already done some research but the swellnet knowledge base is one of the best in this area. Most of these dunes have been heavily impacted by the La Nia easterlies over the last 2 years causing several car parks next to the beaches to be roped off. Theyve introduced these gently sloped walls to broaden the widths of the roads to protect them from erosion. I asked a mate who works at MHL this exact question. Almost certainly the latter lilas, given the problems Sydney has had with apartment blocks I would think regulation is minimal to non-existent. You said "They get paid to do what they are told to do" Were they told told to design a system that would not work for the purpose and only exacerbate the problem? This can easily be achieved by creating offshore reefs that reduce the energy to a level the beach can cope with. My view is if it cannot be protected by environmentally sound methods then that is the owner's problem. A number of properties along the oceanfront from Narrabeen to Collaroy were seriously endangered by erosion during a large storm swell in 2016. Perhaps the omission was because in 2002, protestors, led by Brendan Donohoe and Surfrider Foundation founder Tom Kirsop, formed a line in the sand stretching from Collaroy to Narrabeen opposing the construction of any seawalls. If anyone used it and saw the second DA let me know. I can't believe that those structures have been built in 2021 and that the legislation still hasn't been amended to counter the property rights of the owners. I saw the construction going in, says Donohoe of seeing the area cordoned off earlier this year, and thought they were building rock revetments. My understanding is that the hard seawall was constructed with the specific intention to protect the private property behind the wall. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=144437777895204. 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. 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. Guess where that temporary rock wall has ended up! 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? The activism of Tom Kirsop is legendary and in December 2019 Northern Beaches Council honoured him with a park at Narrabeen called Surfrider Gardens. Is there a sea wall at Collaroy? I tear up and swear to myself. Please please please don't let those greedy fucks do this to Australia. Its like something out of a dystopian movie. To add a bit of controversy, I've often wondered: Is Carties borderline just a novelty wave? The NB has always excelled at extreme ugliness. Plenty others have discussed it. Yes and do they have tactile indicators in the correct place? Shop unique custom made Canvas Prints, Framed Prints, Posters, Tapestries, and more. I suspect the engineering report will say thatif we ever get to see it. For me, the value of these properties is in the negatives and at the very least, its a big fat round calamari. I wrote to Many Hydraulics Laboratory to ask for the details regarding the sea wall assessment they produced. Unfortunately, what we see in Collaroy might become a norm to protect this lifestyle. and the sick irony of the beach access sign detailing the seawall works with all "enquires to be made We can mess things up in a colossal way, and then keep doing it repeatedly. This clearly did not happen at Collaroy. Hows the Seawall holding up? Craig Brokensha on the Sunshine Coast there is a similar 'future' proposal for a rock wall between Alexandra Headlands and Maroochydore beaches. The lessons, it would seem, are still being learnt. The most notable benefit of sea walls is that they provide excellent protection against coastal erosion and flooding. 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. The coastline in SW Vic has evolved to respond to a dominant SW swell and storm pattern - that's why the beaches face the way they do. If they are falling into the ocean or they require extensive works or continual maintenance, then what is the market value? Damaged houses and a collapsed swimming pool at Collaroy beach after waves of up to 8 metres hit the coast on June 6, 2016. A development application (DA) before Northern Beaches Council would see two additional sections of vertical wall built 50 and 30 metres in length straddling the South Narrabeen Surf Club. Rock barrels at its best! Engineered to Australian Standards. 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. Soon It Will Be Filled With Concrete.'. Cheers for the knowledge Craig. Wow, that is ugly even by brutalist/modernist standards. They are a method of hard engineering. "We have the Tools and imagination" 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? "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." Men sand-bag properties on Collaroy Beach Arlington Building and a run of houses to the north circa 1922. Yeah nah. The engineers would have likely argued against this for the reasons given above (and then some). Just wondering if the stairs built into the wall are private property? 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. Collaroy resident Tony Cagorski lost more than 10 metres of his yard during the weekend's wild weather, undermining the foundations of his home. A quick trip Todos Santos way during a belting nor'west swell. Looks like the council are aware of the liability concerning the still submerged rocks. A quick Google informs me that they are part of the State government, either Planning or Public Works, which was news to me because its mainly staffed by UNSW academics and is associated with the uni as a research centre. I think the re-sale value of their properties trumped their ability to access the from their back garden. A much higher amplitude as well. "When a hard structure is introduced to the equation we see an increase in reflective energy and turbulence, slowing the accretion of sand while also accelerating erosion in storm conditions." And there's no risk. I'd reckon the road, arterial services (electrical, sewerage, etc) and the houses all factors. High rises to sea walls. 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. Rather than a natural ebb and flow of wave energy, a hard structure increases reflective energy and turbulence, making it difficult for sand to settle and accrete. I'm a huge tree-hugger but they will not stop powerfull ocean waves. Didnt hear boo about that from anyone ? All they are protecting are some pretty sparse land and some rice fields a couple of hundred metres inland. 2 metre swell at 13 seconds combining with a 1.8 metre high tide at nearly 9am should provide some good viewing this morning. These are the taxpayer funded grants that LGAs will apply for, to repair the wall. Bite the bullet and start buying the properties back and bulldozing them. Those properties are the responsibility of the owners. Might be time to lawyer up. 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). Kook survives a brutal seawall bashin' well almost! They must only exist on a dense (and expensive) schedule of maintenance, no doubt. 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. My experience is that if the responsible authority wasn't involved in the valuation process they struggle to comprehend it, let alone see how it legitimately applies to their own patch via things like benefits transfer. Therefore, the group of Narrabeen and Collaroy residents are not successful in addressing the issue of coastal erosion. 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. The Feds and States are the only ones with sufficient means to do anything, but for them its a case of not my problem. https://eservices.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/ePlanning/live/Public/XC.Tr And this (Item 4) gives the reasons they changed to a wall. development, carparks & roads behind the hind dunes leading to biketracks, walkways, supporting the community including I'd be happy to help draft it offline. That means that the Feds have all the money, the States some and the councils bugger all. Maybe "Collaroy" is the aboriginal word for "Stupid White people"? Btw when I say 4ft these waves 99.99% of the time are sloppy, they break for half a second and then dissapear and its an ugly wash for kms out to sea. In one of the pics you see plant equipnent tearing up the beach in preparation for constructing a wall. The problem is one of vertical fiscal imbalance. 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 just a done deal. Thanks lilas. Some family recently went through this as their house sat above the construction zone for the Spit / Northern Beaches Link tunnel. https://www.swellnet.com/comment/772908#comment-772908. The question is why did the owners go for such an unattractive solution that by all appearances seems to have blocked their beach access. Stop wasting money and do something that will achieve the intended goals. Yep need to see front on pic 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. An "Engineer/s" designed this monstrosity and other "Engineers" approved it. Can't wait to see the classic "Dick and Balls" painted on that big ugly fucker. I'm not entirely sure, but one of the reasons why an offshore reef structure hasn't been considered for Narrabeen may be because it's part of the Northern Sydney Protection Zone, hosting submarine cables that connect Australia to various parts of the Pacific (including Japan). We spoke to expert coastal engineer, Peter Horton, about the current situation and the coastal protection works he designed to protect the properties from large and powerful surf. 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. Who could forget the MOLE building or the spoil from the North Head Sewage Works tipped over the cliff? How was Collaroy Beach made? Not off topic JS, wouldn't be surprised if there is a hyperlink to that video in the sea wall approval document!. Proven time and time and time again that sea walls do not work- period. It would be the same as for any development adjacent to the cables where they make landfall. Look at offshore reefs around all the pacific islands. I recently tested an Open-Source Wave modeling software called "Celeris" and the result are really good although I didn't go too in-depth with it. For the swellnet readers here's some background info, and here. But it wasn't about the road - it was about appeasing multimillionaires who would have or should have known better. I put up links to both DAs the other day. The majority of these companies are legitimate businesses set up by Yakuza. Death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. You got to have demand/competition in order for a buyback to increase value of supply. I looked at the Bruun rule - i think it was roughly 10cm sea level rise = 1metre of beach vanishes? An awkward situation, but only for one of the parties, as the Woz suspends the current Longboard World Champ. Both!! Dates announced for Spencer Frost and Guy Williment's film shot in Russia's far east. The seawall is protected from the direct onslaught of waves by rows of granite boulders which are reinforced every year to stop erosion. 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. Their email is: [emailprotected]. Like I said at the start, IF he is an "expert coastal engineer" then we are in a much deeper hole than I imagined. Separately at the Collaroy pool end of the beach when the walk way became unstable they just craned in these massive bags of rocks on top of each other and said job done - ugly as fuck. 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. There are some fed govt areas that listen to this thinking. 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. they might be right basis forecasts but beachfront owners bought in an area that didnt previously exhibit high erosion issues. Between these three, you can protect any shore from water erosion. The owners of those properties must have the most amazing collection of dirt on the political class. Pipeline specialist injured while duckdiving in heavy waves. Surfers, sun bathers and swimmers. Of the people that Swellnet spoke to, the opinions of how we got to this point swung from nefarious (It was rushed through during COVID because they knew people were occupied) to inept (It was signed off by a mid-level planner with no knowledge of coastal processes). Yulex geta second chance at a first impression, and this time they makeit count. I imagine the ocean will eventually claw away under and around and over the structure. It's orders of magnitude more than a bunch of multi-million dollar properties at risk.
