Wamberal Beach seawall DA lodged with Council
A perspective of the proposed seawall from Surfers Rd and the end of Ocean View Dr, looking north to Calais Rd
The first of three development applications covering Wamberal beach has been formally lodged with Central Coast Council by the Wamberal Protection Association (WPA). The first DA known as Section B, covering the beach between 27 Ocean View Rd and Surfers Rd, is now on public exhibition. Section A, covering the stretch from Pacific St to 27 Ocean View Dr, and Section C, covering the stretch from Surfers Rd to Calais Rd, are expected to be lodged in the very near future. A statement issued by WPA said it was confident it had complied with all requirements and was keen to get on
to construction planning as soon as possible. The statement said the proposal would see a seawall constructed as landward as possible away from the beach, outside of the active wave zone, and much further back than any existing ad hoc protection works. The seawall would be located wholly on private property wherever possible, only crossing public land while also protecting government owned blocks and beach access. All public beach access will be maintained and improved. Continued page 5
