Gold Coast approval pathway
The Gold Coast Waterways Authority recommends seeking advice before lodging a tidal works development application. The City of Gold Coast is commonly the assessment manager for local projects, while GCWA may act as a referral agency.
Common documents
- Registered property plan and owner details
- Site and layout plan
- Structure dimensions and construction details
- Vessel information where relevant
- Survey and levels
- Structural or marine engineering
- Details of changes to existing works
Repairs versus new works
Routine maintenance may not follow the same pathway as replacement, extension or a new structure. The exact approval position should be checked before committing to construction.
Tweed and Northern New South Wales
Projects south of the Queensland border follow different local and state requirements. Do not rely on a Gold Coast approval pathway for a Tweed property.
