• Excavation is a huge 4.8 hectares (12 acres)

• 90,000 cubic metres of excavated seabed to be dumped across the estuary (15-18 months barging.)

• Intensive and prolonged pile driving activity (4 – 6 months)

• Vast quantities of building materials (3,500 cubic metres of stonewalling alone) to be trucked in via Sandspit Road.

• 8,500 cubic metres of unwanted fill to be “temporarily stored" on the spit.

• The design is primarily for large launches (12 – 20 metres)

This proposal on rent free public land, is for the benefit of a small elite ... few of whom are Sandspit Residents.
