Church Point Commuter Wharf
Church Point commuter Wharf
As part of the works adopted under the Church Point Plan of Management (PoM), Council is proposing to redevelop the commuter dinghy wharf. Council will complete the works in a number of stages with Stage One to be completed by early 2012. The initial stage will involve the purchase and installation of new pontoons forming the central spine to the facility with two pontoons re-used from the existing facility to make up the proposed wings. The proposed commuter wharf will accommodate up to 110 boats when completed (Stage One) and alleviate issues of double and triple stacking. The completed project, with all fingers installed, will accommodate 130 boats and provide better protection for individual vessels.
Upon completion of Stage One, a fee of $285 per annum will be charged for use of the facility (as approved in the adopted PoM), used to repay the capital cost of the facility’s construction. Council has also been successful in obtaining grants from both MSW Maritime and the Federal Government’s Regional & Local Community Infrastructure Program (RLCIP ) for the initial works. As funds build from the fee for use charge, further additions to the facility will be undertaken. The proposal to date has been fully liaised with both Scotland Island and Western Foreshore Community representatives.
Any questions relative to this proposal can be addressed to Council’s Landscape Architect, Mr Mark Eriksson, on 9970 1356 or mark_eriksson@pittwater.nsw.gov.au.
