11.0 COMMERCIAL AND CLUB WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT Brisbane Water has traditionally been characterised by relatively low scales of commercially orientated development along its foreshores, being principally associated with the provision of boat accommodation and service facilities for recreational boating purposes together with other estuary dependant commercial operations including oyster farming, oyster depuration plants, commercial fishing, jetty construction and associated commercial and residential development. Whilst some of these premises have expanded into sizeable club and commercial marina facilities which provide a useful role in the area, it must be ensured that any future expansion of such premises does not significantly detract from the existing natural character of Brisbane Water as a whole or result in an undue reduction in the availability of inshore water space used for general navigation and recreation purposes, or restrict public access to public foreshore reserves. It is one of the aims of this plan to ensure that public access to public foreshore areas is maintained and enhanced. Council recognises the role of existing commercial and club orientated development have played in Brisbane Water and seeks to maintain the level of existing facilities around the waterway while ensuring that the overall natural character of Brisbane Water remains preserved. Specifically, this section of the plan refers to those uses below mean high water mark and any associated shore based facilities above mean high water mark which are intended for commercial use or club based activities but does not include the running of water based transport services. 11.1 Management Objectives MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES Commercial and Club Waterfront Development PRIORITY FOR ACTION RESPONSIBILITY a Ensure suitable boating facilities for the accommodation of boats, their repair and maintenance.
