TECHNICAL REPORT 99/43, EL 1. COSTING PROCEDURES Budget costings for the four viable management plans were undertaken, ‘The viable management plans considered in the main body of this report are: damage control plan with development controls; groynes with beach nourishment with development controls; revetment with beach nourishment and development controls; and * revetment removal. eee It should be noted that these costings are for budgeting purposes only, with the actual project cost dependent upon the final detailed design and scope of works, and the market conditions prevailing at the time of tendering. ‘The cost estimates were prepared from the following sources: © WRL’s previous experience with similar actual and planned projects; * Rawlinsons Australian Construction Handbook (1997). Enquiries with local quarries had not been made at this preliminary design stage, the costings for rock supply being based on rates for other NSW coastal locations, ‘The allowances for landscaping and ancillary works are based on speculative provisional quantities only. ‘The ‘development control” portion of the management plans was not incorporated in the costings. FINAL DRAFT REVISION 2 13/08/01WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 99/43 R2 2 PRELIMINARY DESIGNS AND COSTINGS 2.1 Damage Control Plan Development Controls regarding foundation conditions and floor levels would be implemented on future building applications in the northern Precinct. No further ad foc revetment wall construction would be allowed. All future revetment works would be subject to approval and would be carried out in accordance with a standard revetment design. In the two southem precincts fronting the Foreshore Reserve and the Lagoon, the existing rubble revetments would require significant maintenance work to ameliorate their dangerous conditions. Stormwater discharge points would require suitable treatment and beach access stairways would require repair and/or reconstruction. ‘Where unprotected, the dune face would require regrading snd stabilisation works in the form of Sarlon (or similar) nylon mesh fencing and dune planting, Maintenance work would be ongoing as future storm damage causes the revetments to deteriorate, damage to the stairways and dune erosion. ‘The cost estimate for this option has been undertaken without major attention to detail. A detailed survey and assessment of the existing revetment would need to be undertaken so as to properly quantify the scope of works. Estimated costs are summarised in Table E.1 where it can be seen that this option would have an initial capital cost of approximately $200,000. Annual maintenance costs of approximately $20,000 are estimated, with the full $200,000 works program needing to be repeated following the passage of major storm events. As the option exists for a reduced scope of works with this option, a suggested range for initial capital costs is $100,000 to $200,000 ..

All future revetment works would be subject to approval and would be camied out in accordance with a standard revetment design. Groynes, ini the form of inlet training walls, Would be constructed as indicated in Figure E.1 and some 25,000m? of sand nourishment would be brought in to restore the beach in front of the Foreshore Reserve. ‘The training walls would extend scawards to a depth of ~6m AHD and have a crest elevation of Sm AHD. Detailed cost estimates were not prepared for this scheme due to its high initial indicated cost, Initial indicated costs are presented in Table B.2. A bulk'rock volume of 191,000m? was estimated for this scheme, On the basis of 60% solid/40% void and a rock dry density of 2.7/m', a total rock quantity 310,000 t was estimated. Other major cocstai projects estimated by WRI. indicate that the placed rock coit comprises approximately 60% of the total project cost, that is, the total project cost is approximately 1.67 times the placed rock cost. As seen in Table E.2, the capital cost for training wall construction at the Lake inlet with the associated creek bank FINAL DRAFT REVISION 2 13/08/01WRL TECHNICAL REPORT 99/43 B4 revetment works has been estimated as some $20.7M. Sand nourishment has been estimated at $250,000. The existing revetment along the Foreshore Reserve would need to be tidied up at a cost of $200,000, giving a total of approximately $21.1 M.

Enquiries with local quarries had not been made at this preliminary design stage, with the costings for rock supply based on rates for other NSW coastal locations. The allowances for landscaping and ancillary works are based on speculative provisional quantities only. ‘The preliminary revetment was designed using the Hudson method within the ACES computer software (CERC, 1992) and the Shore Protection anual (1984), A cross section of the design and the extent of the new revetment arc shown in Figure E.2.

The summary shows that the total cost for 1650m of revetment and ancillary works is $5.25 million, with a further $250,000 for 25,000m? of beach nourishment, ‘The revetment cost is approximately proportioned as: '* Foreshore Reserve revetment: $4.2M_ © Creek frontage revetment: SLIM For the detailed designs, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement or Assessment and a Development Application, an allowance of $100,000 is suggested.

The scheme involves removing all rock revetments fronting the beach, except for the revetment protecting the beachfront houses at Cakora Inlet. This option could be more accurately costed if a full survey of the existing revetment becomes available, and a properly designed removal strategy is developed. Some preventive actions would be needed, such as removal of norfolk pines at risk from further undermining, lest they collapse on beach users. The remaining dunes would need fa be regraded to a stable slope and vegetated.
