Being a waterfront community it’s not surprising that queries arise from time to time about who can do what and where along the foreshore.
The Progress Association has been sifting through two areas of late, dinghy management and foreshore fencing.
How far can your fence go?
With regard to fences the LMCC DCP 3.1 Lake, Waterway and Coastline Development document outlines what is permissible.
The overall aim is that structures such as fences, walls and enclosures are restricted in height, location and materials, to limit any potential for adverse visual impact, environmental impact, scenic quality or accessibility.
In order to achieve this aim
- the height of any fence or wall or enclosure within a Foreshore Building Line can not exceed 1.2 metres.
- The fence, wall or enclosure can not be constructed of masonry.
- No part of the fence, wall or enclosure can be within 6 metres of DHWM
- No fencing, wall or enclosure extends into the Lakefront Area Development Zone.
- Fencing, walls or enclosures in the Lakefront Area Development Zone are no higher than 1.2 metres.
