9). This issue was raised with STDC at the time of the inspection and they arranged for a
contractor to remove the builders to eliminate the risk of them falling onto the beach. During the 2023
inspection, the erosion at the northern end had worsened from previous monitoring period, posing an
imminent risk to the dwelling located there.
STDC also carried out inspections of this structure during the year under review. Their report was
provided to Council on 30 June 2023. Recommendations

consider that the Mr McDonald’s workshop/business would fall within this

event and was buried by large boulders and other debris, which caused the decline in richness and diversity
observed in the previous monitoring period. However, the 2023 data shows that this site experienced an
increase in these parameters from the previous year, which suggests the local intertidal community is
beginning to recover.
Overall, these results indicate that the marine outfall discharge was not having detectable adverse effects on

(6) all parties are satisfied that all matters proposed for the Court's endorsement
are within the scope of relief sought in the appellants' notices of appeal, fall
within the Court's jurisdiction, and conform to the relevant requirements
and objectives of the Act including, in particular, Part 2.

intact, with no cracking or slumping evident on either the fill area or the tip face. No unauthorised material
was noted. There was no ponding observed, despite heavy rain the previous day, and the material was damp
underfoot. The pre-fill gully was well grassed with no sign of exposed soil or sediment runoff. The stage 1 fill
area was damp underfoot and had been recently grazed, and showed no sign of
minor amount of erosion at one point that was likely to have been caused by the heavy
rain in the previous week.
The stormwater ponds were all nearly full, with approximately 0.3-0.5 m of freeboard.
The contents were a relatively clear brown colour, and the lowest pond had an iron
oxide sheen present on the surface. The downstream stormwater drain had recently
been cleared of vegetation and there were no obstructions to flow. Silt controls were in
place, and appeared to be effective as the
