19 What is a foreshore scenic protection area?
(1) The objective of the foreshore scenic protection area is to limit the scale of development and protect the landscape and visual character of foreshore areas of Sutherland Shire.(2) A foreshore scenic protection area is shown on the maps by hatching. It applies to land within a number of zones next to Bate Bay, Port Hacking, the Georges River and Woronora River.(3) Buildings in a foreshore scenic protection area are required by the development control tables to have more landscaped area than buildings outside the area.
20 Foreshore building lines and waterfront development
(1) The objectives of this clause are:(a) preservation and enhancement of the natural features and vegetation near where the land meets the water,(b) restoration of the land below the foreshore building line, so far as practicable, to a natural state, with a minimum intrusion of man-made structures,(c) no buildings below the foreshore building line other than buildings excepted by this clause,(d) a significant reduction in the number of structures below the foreshore building line, particularly on redevelopment of a site,(e) conservation and enhancement of waterfront buildings of heritage value,(f) avoidance of adverse ecological effects on the waterways, and(g) public use of the intertidal areas below the mean high water mark or high water mark, where appropriate.(2) In this clause:foreshore building line for an allotment means:(a) if the maps indicate by a black line that a foreshore building line applies to the allotment—the line across the allotment parallel to, and at the greater of the following distances from, the mean high water mark at 24 April 1980:(i) the distance specified on the maps, or(ii) 7.5 metres from the mean high water mark for the time being, or(b) if the maps do not indicate by a black line that a foreshore building line applies to the allotment, and the allotment adjoins or is adjacent to the mean high water mark for the time being—the line across the allotment parallel to, and 7.5 metres from, the mean high water mark for the time being (except in respect of land at Sandy Point, where the line is taken to be the greater of the following distances from the tidal water:(i) the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability flood line, or(ii) a line across the allotment parallel to and 7.5 metres from the mean high water mark for the time being), orFor the purposes of this definition, the mean high water mark at 24 April 1980 on any land is taken to be as shown on the last Deposited Plan or other plan which defined the mean high water mark and was registered by the Registrar-General on or before 24 April 1980. It is not affected by reclamation, works or other changes before or after that date. Establishing the foreshore building line for an allotment to which paragraph (a) or (b) applies will require reference to the mean high water mark at 24 April 1980 on adjoining or adjacent land in some cases.(c) regardless of paragraphs (a) and (b), if the allotment adjoins a waterfront reserve—the line across the allotment parallel to, and 7.5 metres from, the landward boundary of the waterfront reserve.(3) A person must not erect a building or carry out a work on land between a foreshore building line and the tidal water in respect of which the line is fixed.(4) However, subclause (3) does not apply to:(a) boat sheds,(b) watercraft facilities,(c) in-ground swimming pools, no higher than 300 millimetres above ground level at any point (unless located in the area of Bundeena or Maianbar),(d) works, including mechanical works, to enable pedestrian access,(e) landscaping and barbecues.(4A) Additionally, in respect of land at Sandy Point that is located on the landward side of a line parallel to and 7.5 metres from the mean high water mark, subclause (3) does not apply in relation to the following:(a) development for the purpose of tennis courts and ancillary development (but only if any structures resulting from the ancillary development are non-habitable),(b) development for the purposes of a dwelling-house to be partially located on flood liable land, but only if the Council is satisfied that:(i) the land is categorised as low hazard by a flood study undertaken in accordance with the Floodplain Management Manual prepared by the New South Wales Government, and(ii) the development will not have a significant effect on the depth, velocity or distribution of floodwaters, and(iii) all pedestrian and vehicular access to the dwelling-house will be provided to the part of the dwelling-house that is located above the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability flood line, and(iv) the dwelling-house will be designed and constructed to reduce or eliminate flood damage, and(v) the relevant height limit imposed by clause 34 (2) will not be exceeded, and(vi) the dwelling-house will not unreasonably restrict views from buildings on adjoining lots, and(vii) the appearance of the escarpment defining the limit of the flood plain will not be adversely affected by the cumulative impact of dwelling-house construction.(5) Development consent must not be granted to any development on an allotment of land affected by a foreshore building line, or to any development below the mean high water mark from time to time on an allotment or within the 7 (a) Environmental Protection (Waterways) zone adjoining the allotment, unless the consent authority is satisfied that the following buildings or works (if any) will be removed before, or within a reasonable time after, the development is carried out:(a) any building or work on the allotment between the foreshore building line and the mean high water mark or high water mark, in each case as shown on the latest registered Deposited Plan showing the allotment, not being a building or work specified in subclause (4), or(b) any building or work below the mean high water mark or high water mark, in each case as shown on the latest registered Deposited Plan showing the allotment, being a building or work on the allotment or on land adjacent to the allotment which is in the same ownership as the allotment or to which the owner or occupier of the allotment has some form of occupancy rights, but not being a building or work specified in subclause (4) (b).(6) However, subclause (5) does not apply to a building or work if the consent authority is satisfied that requiring removal of the building or work:(a) would be inconsistent with any of the objectives of this clause, or(b) is not necessary to achieve the objectives of this clause, or(c) is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, having regard to the provisions of any relevant development control plan.(7) This clause does not apply to buildings or works on reclaimed land, or on land adjacent to reclaimed land, in Sylvania Waters.(8) To avoid doubt, State Environmental Planning Policy No 1—Development Standards applies to a requirement made by subclause (3) in the same way as it applies to a development standard.
