1 Before the Environment Court at Auckland ENV-2013-AKL In the Matter of the Resource Management Act 1991 And In the Matter of Notice of Motion under Section 87G requesting the granting of resource consents to Waiheke Marinas Limited to establish a Marina at Matiatia Bay, Waiheke Island, in the Hauraki Gulf Evidence of John Michael Leman on behalf of Waiheke Marinas Ltd Dated 30 April 2014 Richard Brabant/Jeremy Brabant Barristers Broker House, Level 2, 14 Vulcan Lane PO Box 1502, Shortland St Auckland City Ph: Fax: richard@brabant.co.nz/jeremy@brabant.co.nz
2 Introduction 1. My full name is John Michael Leman. I am a Consulting Engineer and hold a Bachelor of Engineering (University of Auckland). I am a Member of the Institute of Professional Engineers New Zealand. 2. I have 32 years experience as an Engineer. My professional services have predominantly comprised marine works, and in particular, marina facilities design. 3. I have been involved in the design of marina developments in New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific, South-East Asia, China and the Middle East. New Zealand projects within the Auckland region include Gulf Harbour and Pine Harbour. 4. My involvement with the Matiatia Marina project commenced in May My commission was to review the design of the April 2011 marina proposal as a result of submissions, particularly those in relation to the wave climate in the bay, ferry wakes and movements, wave protection, recreational/commercial vessel navigation and safety. 5. To further consider wave aspects, a programme of wind and ferry wave measurements was undertaken by MetOcean Solutions 1 and further wave modelling by Cardno 2. These studies, in conjunction with a more in-depth review of acceptable marina wave climate criteria by my consultancy (International Marina Consultants), formed the basis for refinement and finalisation of the marina facilities proposal. 6. I have visited the site on several occasions including March 2014 where I visited other possible marina sites around Waiheke Island that were raised as potential alternative marina development locations. 7. I have read and agree to abide by the Environment Court s Code of Conduct for Expert Witnesses as specified in the Environment Court s Consolidated 1 MetOcean Solutions report P dated March 2012 entitled Matiatia Bay Measured Wind and Ferry Wakes. 2 Cardno Report LJ3020/R2781dated 23 October 2012 entitled Matiatia Wave Climate and Preliminary Marina Design. 1
3 Practice Note This evidence is within my area of expertise, except where I state that I rely upon the evidence of other expert information as presented to this hearing. I have not omitted to consider any material facts known to me that might alter or detract from the opinions expressed by me. Scope of Evidence 8. My evidence covers the following matters: A. Marina Location B. Matiatia Site Conditions C. Marina Design including: - General Design Requirements - Wave Height Limit Criteria - Review of Ferry Wake Waves - Marina Wave Protection - Marina Entrance - Marina Berths - Public Facilities - Reclamation - Dredging D. Alternative Locations Review A. Marina Location 9. The proposed marina facilities are located within the North-East portion of Matiatia Bay as depicted on Figure The proposed marina berths are north of the existing wharves to avoid conflict with existing ferry, wharf and boat ramp activities (refer Figure 2). Similarly, the small associated reclamation area is also to the north of the existing wharves and boat ramp facilities. 11. Road access to the site is well established and by sea it is a gateway to the island from Auckland. The site has existing depths suitable for a marina with minimal dredging and is a designated vessel mooring area. Services infrastructure to the Bay already exists. 12. Matiatia has therefore been selected as the preferred site for a marina facility. 2
4 B. Matiatia Site Conditions B(i) Seabed Levels 13. Within the context of a marina proposal, relevant site conditions are summarised as follows: 14. The embayment within the proposed marina berths location has existing seabed levels typically between 2 metres to 4 metres below Chart Datum, with a comparatively small area of shallower water requiring dredging on its eastern extremity. 15. The marina is located sufficiently south to avoid the shallow area to the north (refer Figure 3). B(ii) Wind and Wave Conditions 16. As depicted on the attached Cardno Figure 2.1, wind data from the Manukau Airport highlights a predominance of higher wind strengths from the South-West quadrant for the region. 17. Matiatia Bay is exposed to winds and waves from this direction, albeit with a limited fetch across to Motutapu Island. 18. As detailed in the Cardno wave study, wave heights for various storm events have been determined as follows: Average Recurrence Interval (Years) Wave Height Hs (m) Wave Period Tp (s) Mean Wave Direction ( o TN) MetOcean Solutions two weeks of wind and ferry wave measurements at the site depicted mean significant wave height for wind and ferry wave ambient conditions was 0.1 metres and largest significant wave height at 0.39 metres. Mean periods for these wind waves were within the range of 1.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds. 20. Regular ferry services operate from the terminal just to the south of the marina site. Ferries entering and leaving the bay regularly create wake waves that will propagate to the site. 3
5 21. The largest wake wave measured was metres. The highest events (waves larger than 0.25 metres) typically had wave periods in the range of 4.5 seconds to 9.0 seconds. 22. The mean wake wave height towards the western end of the site was metres and metres at the eastern end. 23. Wake waves were predominantly transverse wake waves (travelling in the same direction as the ferry) from ferries entering Matiatia. B(iii) Tides and Currents 24. Typically, as you go further up a harbour, the tidal range increases. As expected, the Matiatia tidal range is therefore less than Auckland s (by about half a metre). 25. As detailed in the Cardno report, the Tidal Plane at Matiatia Bay is characterised as follows (relative to Chart Datum): MHWS MHWN MSL MLWN MLSW 2.8 metres 2.4 metres 1.6 metres 0.6 metres 0.3 metres 26. Highest Astronomical Tide is predicted at 3.1 metres. There are no significant tidal currents within the bay. 27. Long-term tidal data from Auckland shows that sea level rise to 2050 may be 0.1 metres (excluding recent climate change projections). NIWA and Ministry of Environment (2008) recommend a sea level rise to 2100 of between 0.18m and 0.59m. I consider a 50 year time horizon allowance of 0.4m satisfactory for infrastructure design. B(iv) Infrastructure and Facilities 28. Road and services to the bay and public amenities are already established. There is a significant amount of established car parking. However, convenient additional dedicated marina parking is necessary. 29. There are some 52 moorings within the proposed marina area that will be accommodated within the marina development or relocated. 4
6 30. Extension to the marina site of power and telecommunications will be undertaken. C. Marina Design C(i) General Design Requirements 31. General marina design requirements for safety, usability, navigation, services requirements, marina berths configurations and depth requirements are set out in the relevant Code Guidelines for Design of Marinas AS , which is adhered to for design of this marina proposal. 32. It is of paramount importance to provide a safe all-weather haven for vessels and marina patrons. To this end satisfactory wind wave height limit criteria need to be achieved for predicted storm conditions. For the Matiatia location, satisfactory ferry wake limit criteria also need to be achieved. 33. The following section outlines the determination of those limit criteria. C(ii) Satisfactory Wave Height Limit Criteria 34. For the analysis of any wave protection solutions it is necessary to establish an acceptable set of criteria from which a judgement can be reached on achievement of a satisfactory wave climate. Wind Waves: 35. The determination of a set of (wave height limit) criteria is somewhat subjective, ranging from what is the limit to be reasonably sure a vessel won t get damaged, to what is regarded as ideal for berth users (flat calm). 36. The criteria for acceptable limits in storm conditions has been researched and referenced in appropriate marina design codes. However, extrapolating this data has been seen as potentially problematic or inappropriate, particularly with regard to regular vessel wake situations. 37. The primary point of reference in New Zealand and Australia is the Australian Standard AS3962 Guidelines for Design of Marinas, Table 4.2, Criteria for a Good Wave Climate in Small Craft Harbours. 5
7 TABLE C(ii) CRITERIA FOR A GOOD WAVE CLIMATE IN SMALL CRAFT HARBOURS Direction and peak period of Significant Wave Height (Hs) design harbour wave Wave event exceeded once in 50 years Wave event exceeded once a year Head seas less than 2s Conditions not likely to occur Less than 0.3m wave height during this event Head seas greater than 2s Less than 0.6m wave height Less than 0.3m wave height Oblique seas greater than 2s Less than 0.4m Less than 0.3m wave height Beam seas less than 2s Conditions not likely to occur Less than 0.3m wave height during this event Beam seas greater than 2s Less than 0.25m wave height Less than 0.15m wave height NOTE: For criteria for an excellent wave climate multiply wave height by 0.75, and for a moderate wave climate multiply wave height by For vessels of less than 20m in length, the most severe wave climate should satisfy moderate conditions. For vessels larger than 20m in length, the wave climate may be more severe. 38. The source of the above criteria was a paper presented at a Coastal Engineering Conference in Cape Town in As this is contained within the Code, it is still regarded somewhat as a benchmark and is also quoted within the Matiatia Marina reports. However, although IMC was significantly involved in the formulation of the overall Code, we also recognise the limitations of some criteria. 40. Table C(ii) is oriented towards wind generated wave criteria with reference to 50 year and once a year events and does not specifically address frequent wake wave scenarios. 41. It should also be noted that Table C(ii) specifies Significant Wave Height (Hs). Maximum wave heights can be up to 1.84 Hs as pointed out in the 2011 proposal see the A.J. Raudkivi 3 report. 42. If you wish to justify a wave height as being acceptable within the Code parameters you could then look at an extreme case of multiplying the 0.6m significant wave height for head seas by 1.25 for the moderate wave climate and then by 1.84 to determine a maximum height that could be experienced within a Code Satisfactory marina: 0.6m x 1.25 x 1.84 = 1.38m, which is definitely not acceptable in any marina situation. 3 Raudkivi 2011 Proposal Report 6
8 Wake Waves: 43. By the same token, I do not think it is advisable to try to justify a satisfactory wake wave criteria by picking or multiplying a number from Table C(ii), particularly if you try to apply once a year storm wave criteria to regular daily wake waves. 44. I consider there are four primary criteria that need to be addressed when assessing satisfactory wake criteria. These are user comfort, safety, facility longevity and maintenance. The latter two are very dependent on the detailed design of the chosen marina system so cannot be dealt with in any detail at this stage. 45. As discussed, the choice of acceptable criterion is somewhat subjective, and complaint-based assessment is obviously a primary source for acceptance criteria. Marinas (such as Bayswater in Auckland, marinas on the Brisbane River and around Sydney Harbour) that regularly experience (wake) waves of as low as 150mm, produce complaints. 46. The primary comfort sensitivity for people in boats is roll, pitch, surge and sway that can easily fall within the typical sensitive frequencies of marina sized vessel motion. Experience suggests that any waves within these typical vessel motion frequencies should be avoided (refer Attachment 1). 47. As evidenced by the Code criteria, head seas are far less problematic and wave heights around twice that of the beam seas are required to be categorised as outside the required comfort criteria. 48. Safety typically equates to situations of personal instability onboard due to vessel rolling and pitching motion, transfer from vessel to dock and potential injury from limbs between vessel and dock. Instability criteria are typically towards the upper bounds of the comfort criteria. 49. The US Navy has limits on the maximum amount of acceleration and roll (or pitch) acceptable on the bridges of vessels. Maximum horizontal acceleration: 0.2g Maximum vertical acceleration: 0.4g Maximum roll: 8 degrees Maximum pitch: 3 degrees 7
9 50. These limits reflect survival of equipment and a well prepared crew so are considered too severe for the casual environment of a marina. 51. Research in the Netherlands reviewed stability criterion for response of the body to acceleration for various body orientations. A surprise stability coefficient was recommended at 55% of maximum acceleration. Assuming an initial casual stance, a surprised or disabled body will topple if the acceleration exceeds 0.09g (0.9m/s 2 ). 52. Comfort criteria research for tall building sway found that walking becomes difficult when building accelerations exceed 0.04g (0.4m/s 2 ). 53. This is consistent with allowable/tolerable accelerations computed for docks and the premise that safety criteria are typically twice that of comfort limit criteria. 54. Having established some benchmark criteria, the challenge is then to translate this to a reasonable form of wave limit criteria (to cross check against the all important complaint based criteria). 55. The Australian Marine and Offshore Group undertook a study to review acceptability of pontoon movement. Two pontoons were modelled, Type A, being a 9m x 3m with Ai having a 6 tonne displacement and Aii 12.7 tonnes and Type B, a 12m x 4m pontoon with Bi having a 9.9 tonne displacement and Bii 19.8 tonnes. Results are tabulated in Attachment The B type pontoon is considered to reasonably resemble a 40 to 45 foot power boat and the A type a 30 to 36 foot power boat. As can be seen from the results, at Hs = 0.1m the horizontal accelerations for head seas have gone above the abovementioned limit criteria. 57. Attachment 1 depicts results from a Canadian Government Report Study to Determine Acceptable Wave Climate in Small Craft Harbours. As can be seen from the response graphs, resonance for pitch, heave and roll for wave periods between 1 to 3 seconds is particularly problematic with sway dominating at longer periods. Horizontal accelerations due to sway in longer periods therefore needs due consideration also. 58. It is noted that roll criteria for horizontal acceleration of a body standing on a floating pontoon is not included within the pontoon and vessel response results. 8
10 59. Analysis of roll for various wave heights and periods has been carried out with results as follows: Wave Period Wave Height Body Acceleration * 3 seconds 0.15m 0.04g 3 seconds 0.3m 0.08g 5 seconds 0.15m 0.005g 5 seconds 0.3m 0.001g 7 seconds 0.15m g 7 seconds 0.3m g * Body acceleration calculated at body centre of gravity 2.0m above still water level. 60. It is noted that the shorter 3 second wave period results for 0.3m wave height and 0.15m wave height roughly coincides with the earlier derived casual stance surprised or disabled body topple acceleration of 0.09g and 0.04g for the comfort limit. This also correlates with Marina Code Good once-a-year wave climate criteria for the 0.3m and marina complaint feedback for the 0.15m. 61. The conclusion to the above research and analysis, considering complaints at 0.15m, pontoon dynamic results for horizontal acceleration limits at 0.1m and body topple acceleration comfort limit at 0.15m, is that regular vessel wake limits of less than 0.15m must be achieved and that 0.1m is a satisfactory outcome objective. 62. Similarly the wind wave maximum of 0.3m must also be achieved for a satisfactory outcome. C(iii) Review of Ferry Wake Results General: 63. I note that the MetOcean report measurements are for current ferry vessels. Although this provides a good data source for appropriate wave protection strategies review, the question is raised as to flexibility to accommodate future vessel characteristics. 64. Studies (and problems) throughout the world have clearly identified that catamaran ferries cause the most trouble. The critical wakes recorded in this case are from catamaran ferries so any future change to more mono-hulls would not increase wave protection requirements. 9
11 Wake Results: 65. The largest catamaran ferry, as expected, created the largest measured waves. As outlined in the MetOcean report, the largest wake heights were 307mm to 344mm. The corresponding wake period of the highest events is typically in the range of 4.5 to 9.0 seconds. 66. Catamaran ferry wake results, for a situation where they are slowing to arrive at a terminal, are dominated by their transverse waves which are orientated more perpendicular to the direction of travel (refer Figure 2.1 of the MetOcean report and photos 1 to 6 in Attachment 3 from the Ade Consultants letter of 10 June 2011 for the 2011 proposal). 67. Mono-hull vessels will display the same broad characteristics, but the persistence of the transverse wave (in the direction of ferry travel) by catamarans is more pronounced. 68. Although the results do not provide wave direction data, experience suggests that the wake wave direction will be roughly in the direction of ferry travel to the Matiatia Ferry Terminal (refer Attachment 3, Photo 6). 69. The statement in the 2011 proposal Christian 4 report that the wake waves are more likely to be beam-on to marina vessels is not therefore valid. However, the comment that the long wave length of these waves will pass through the floating attenuator almost un-attenuated is valid. Wind Generated Waves: 70. As discussed in the Cardno report, the storm wind generated waves are of much lesser wave length but have a greater height. During the two week wave data collection period, significant westerly sector wind wave events were recorded which suggests the ambient wave conditions are relatively mild but extreme event wave height protection is required. 71. As tabulated in Section B(ii), the One Year ARI storm wave height is 0.56 metres and 50 year is 0.76 metres. 72. Wind wave energy combined with regular wake waves on marina comfort, safety and marina structure longevity and maintenance is far more concerning 4 C D Christian 2011 Proposal Report 10
12 when the embayment exposure direction is also from this direction, which is the case at Matiatia. C(iv) Marina Wave Protection 73. As outlined in the Cardno wave study report, the marina primarily requires protection from West through to South-West waves. Particular attention needs to be given to marina protection considering that the predominant strong winds come from this direction as does the potentially troublesome regular ferry wake waves. 74. There are three basic options for providing such protection, namely rock breakwaters, panel breakwaters or floating attenuator structures. 75. From previous analysis and observations in Auckland, 30 plus knots from the W- SW is not uncommon (436 observations from 1970 to 2008). The 1970 to 2008 records analysis determined that a 1-year return period Westerly 10 minute wind speed was m/s (34.9 knots). 76. The use of a wave attenuator design, which allows a significant amount of energy through, should therefore be approached with caution, considering comfort, potential marina structures maintenance and longevity. 77. The fact that ferry wakes have been measured regularly over 0.3m within a two week period (MetOcean s measurements) is also cause for concern when these waves will not be significantly reduced by a wave attenuator design and research suggests that they should be kept to well under half this value. 78. In my opinion the required wave height objective of 0.1m within the marina for regular ferry wake waves and absolute maximum of 0.15m cannot be achieved for longer period transverse waves using floating wave attenuator structures along the South-west perimeter. 79. MetOcean highest wake heights measurements depict wake periods typically in the range of 4.5 to 9 seconds. Largest wake heights were 307mm to 344mm. 80. For an 0.3m transverse wake with a 4.5 second period the required width of a double skirted floating attenuator structure would need to be in the order of 9m to achieve a 0.1m wave height on the lee side of the structure. For wave period of 7 seconds (the approximate mean of the abovementioned range) the 11
13 attenuator width would need to be over twice this width. This is clearly impractical and this is the reason attenuators are not considered a viable solution with wave periods significantly above 4 seconds. 81. A panel breakwater or rock breakwater therefore needs to be considered. Either of these solutions, if acceptable from a planning, aesthetic and environmental perspective, are satisfactory in terms of being able to achieve the necessary marina wind/wave climate. C(v) Breakwater Protection Solutions 82. As discussed above and within the Cardno report, the main exposure for wind and wake waves is from the South-west. Satisfactory wave protection requires either fixed panel or rock breakwaters for this direction. Fixed Panel Option: 83. We have determined a (vertical) fixed panel option would need to go from the sea bed to around 4 metres above mean high water to ensure there was significant wave energy cut-off, no significant wave crest overtopping in severe storms with high surge levels and allowance for potential sea level rise. 84. This would obviously be a substantial visual issue. It is also a comparatively high cost structure with potentially high longer-term maintenance and replacement costs. 85. This long vertical panel structure would also create a high degree of reflected wave energy back into the bay with a potentially very confused sea state in front of the marina. Rock Breakwater Option: 86. With less wave build-up against a rock slope, the rock breakwater provides a lower structure top height solution. I have estimated that it can be as much as 1 meter lower than the panel option. 87. It is also more conducive to providing public/recreational access with rock slope to the water rather than a vertical wall. A footpath with berms each side can be provided (as proposed) rather than a safety barriered platform on top of the vertical wall for the panel option. It should also be noted that if someone were 12
14 to fall into the water, they cannot be readily retrieved with a vertical wall scenario. 88. In light of the above, and the understandable longevity and low maintenance of rock structures, the rock breakwater option has been adopted and modelled by Cardno. A satisfactory wave climate to all parts of the marina is achieved with the double breakwater option as depicted in Figure 3. Floating Attenuators: 89. As discussed previously, a floating wave attenuator is not a satisfactory solution for the long period transverse ferry wake waves which will regularly approach the site from the South-west. However, as with the 2011 proposal, a floating attenuator structure is appropriate for providing wave energy protection from the South. 90. This southern fetch across the bay to the site is approximately 300 metres. Potential wind generated waves from this direction would be in the order of 0.3m with an associated wave period less than 1.5 seconds. 91. The proposed 4 metre wide Southern Access Pier floating attenuator structure (refer Figures 3 and 5) has a transmission coefficient of approximately 0.1 for such short period waves and therefore easily achieves the marina wave climate criteria. 92. The diverging bow wake waves from ferries approaching the wharf (at slow subcritical speeds as they are preparing to berth) will be low height (less than 0.2m) with a typical angle of approach of around 35 degrees. The transmission coefficient for such waves would be in the order of 0.4 resulting in a wave height of less then 0.1m on the marina berths side of the floating attenuator. C(vi) Marina Entrance The 2011 proposal configured the marina entrance at the Southwest corner. 93. Concerns were raised with respect to ferry activity conflicts. The entry has now been configured to the North-west to minimise such conflict. 94. To avoid entrance channel capital and maintenance dredging and provide a satisfactory navigable entrance width, the primary breakwater finishes approximately 75 metres from the shore. However, to achieve the satisfactory 13
15 marina wave climate criteria, a secondary breakwater, as depicted on Figure 3 is required. C(vii) Marina Berths 95. As depicted on Figure 4, the marina berths are orientated in a south-west orientation in keeping with the bay s exposure and predominant strong wind direction. 96. Berths are configured with fairways based on 1.75 times the berth length as recommended by the Marina Code and in keeping with a good international standard facility. 97. Pier (A, B, C and D) walkways are configured at a width of 2 metres and the Southern Access Pier at 4 metres width. This South Access Pier walkway has a double skirt underwater configuration (refer Figure 5) to provide attenuation of wave energy that diffracts around the southern end of the primary breakwater and locally generated wind waves and boat wakes approaching from the south across the bay. 98. Marina berths services will comprise power and low-level lighting via services pedestals. Firefighting services will also be included. A sewage pump out facility will be available on the floating pontoon to the south of the marina. Power outlets are proposed to be metered to deter over-use. 99. It is proposed that the floating marina system would be a high mass, low maintenance, concrete deck system in keeping with the philosophy of constructing a high international standard facility The mix of berth sizes has been proposed in keeping with current marina market demand and trends and expressions of interest received during feedback for the proposal The proposed size mix is depicted on Figure 3 with 160 berths ranging from 10.5 metres to 20 metres with the ability to accommodate vessels above 20 metres, if required, on the ends of Piers B and C A floating marina office is located at the start of the marina walkway. This office has been configured on the basis of keeping it to an efficient minimum area requirement. 14
16 C(viii) Public Facilities 103. As depicted on Figure 4, public access continuity is provided around the proposed reclamation (and around the deck option) which includes a boardwalk from the north to the footpath around the parking area and the viewing platform Public access is provided along the primary breakwater which includes a footpath and viewing platform at its southern end. The Southern Access Pier is also available to the public, which includes a viewing platform at its western end and gangway access to the breakwater Dinghy racks are included near the start of the Pier adjacent to the marina office with a berth for the Coast Guard on the pier s southern side. The new floating dinghy racks will be similar to those in place at south-west end of Westhaven Marina (Pier X). A total of 17 rack spaces are proposed for the pile moorings Seventeen pile moorings have been included within the proposal as part of implementing suitable swing mooring relocation arrangements. The proposed vessel size mix for these are 2x8m, 6x10.5m, 7x12m, 1x14m and 1x15m with water depths between 1m and 2m below lowest tide (refer Figure 3). They are within the protected waters of the marina and conveniently located for access from the marina or from the adjacent beach area The existing four mooring holder and two disabled parking spaces have been retained in the area adjacent to the existing boat ramp. C(ix) Reclamation 108. As discussed previously, a small reclamation is proposed adjacent to the marina berths Locating the marina management office on a floating structure within the marina is consistent with the philosophy of keeping the reclamation to an unobtrusive minimum The proposed reclamation area seaward of Mean High Water Springs is approximately 0.3 hectares. 15
17 111. As discussed in Section C(vi), public access is maintained around this area via a footpath around its seaward perimeter and access promoted by inclusion of a boardwalk connection to the north and incorporation of a viewing platform within the north-west corner The area so created is sized to provide 55 car parking spaces including shortterm and long-term zones The reclamation finished level is +4.5m above chart datum. With an allowance of 0.4m for sea level rise and 0.5m for storm effects (refer Christian report), the extreme water level for MHWS m = 3.7m is still well below the +4.5m proposed pavement level. C(x) Dredging 114. The marina has been sized, located and configured to reasonably minimise the amount of dredging without pushing the marina too far off-shore. Whilst locating the marina and its entry sufficiently north to avoid potential conflict with ferry activities, the northern extent has been limited to provide all-tide navigable access to Piers B, C and D without the need to dredge the bay on the northern side The smallest berths with least navigation depth requirements have been located within the near-shore pier (Pier A) to also minimise dredging requirements In accordance with the above, the proposed marina dredging volume is 5,023 cubic metres with a dredge seaward slope profile from -2m to -2.5m to minimise siltation Water depth requirements as outlined in the marina code (AS3962) are as follows: Vessel Size Draft Keel Clearance Design Depth 10.5m 1.8m 0.3m 2.1m 12m 2.0m 0.3m 2.3m 13.5m 2.2m 0.3m 2.5m 14m 2.3m 0.3m 2.6m 15m 2.5m 0.3m 2.8m 16m 2.6m 0.3m 2.9m 20m 2.9m 0.3m 3.2m 16
18 118. As depicted on Figure 6 the only dredging required to achieve satisfactory alltide navigation depths is within Pier A and the associated adjacent navigation channel Any smaller sized vessels that could be accommodated within Pier A that have abnormally deep drafts requiring deeper water would be allocated to a larger berth further seaward, thus keeping the proposed dredge depths to a minimum As depicted in Figure 3 the remainder of the marina has existing depths typically between 3m to 4m below chart datum, which is more than sufficient for their vessel/berth size category As detailed in the 2011 Raudkivi report, expected siltation inputs are so low that their overall effect is less than the predicted sea level rise. With such low siltation potential the effect of the breakwaters on such insignificant siltation is correspondingly also not going to have any significant effects. C (xi) Suspended Car Park Deck Option 122. WML has been given advice that there may be a planning requirement to avoid reclamation. IMC has therefore been instructed to review this Figure 9 depicts a suspended car park deck option which is based on the same car park layout as for the reclamation proposal. The suspended deck is designed as a precast reinforced concrete deck to minimise over water site works and is supported by driven reinforced concrete piles The viewing platform is proposed as a pile supported timber deck structure. D. Alternative Locations Review 125. Having been advised of submissions suggesting a number of alternative marina locations, a review of these sites has been carried out. The alternative sites review included an inspection of each site by boat in March These alternative sites are (refer Figure 7): Owhanake Church Bay Rocky Bay Huruhi Bay Putiki Bay Kennedy Point 17
19 D(i) Owhanake 127. This site has significant exposure to wave energy (including ocean swells) from the North-West As such, extensive breakwaters would be required across the bay, which would significantly close off the upper portion of the bay. D(ii) Church Bay 129. Notwithstanding there is no public road access, this site has a very wide window of wave energy exposure from the South through to the North-East. As such, extensive breakwater protection would be required. D(ii) Rocky Bay 130. Rocky Bay is exposed to the South-West (predominant) strong wind direction. It also has extensive shallows and numerous navigational obstructions when entering the bay Extensive breakwaters would be required and the practicality of constructing these on the expected soft mud sea bed is questionable. D(iv) Huruhi 132. Again, this location has exposure to the South-West requiring significant breakwater protection and questionable breakwater construction practicality due to expected soft seabed materials. D(v) Putiki Bay 133. This bay has extensive shallows requiring extensive dredging to achieve satisfactory all-tide water depths. It is also expected that the dredging requirement would create an on-going maintenance dredging issue As with the other South-West facing locations, extensive breakwaters would be required and soft sea-bed materials would make breakwater construction practicality questionable. 18
20 D(vi) Kennedy Point 135. This site is less exposed to the South-Westerlies but still would require rock breakwater protection works. D(vii) Alternative Sites Conclusion 136. On review of the sites, Kennedy Point was the only one considered worthy of a further review. Figure 8 depicts an indicative concept of similar size to that proposed for Matiatia Although not as directly exposed to the South-West as most other sites reviewed, there are significant breakwater construction requirements and associated reclamation to address access and parking demand issues. It is also expected that soft seabed materials are likely to hinder breakwater construction practicalities All of the above suggests that Matiatia is a more favourable solution.
