14 Financial Feasibility Final Report This report assessed the financial feasibility of a cruise ship terminal at the Gold Coast. Table 12 Gold Coast Cruise Ship Terminal Business Case Financial Feasibility Final Report December Terminal Information Summary This report provides a succinct summary of the findings and implications of the four technical reports that have been undertaken to support the business case for this study: Gold Coast Cruise Ship Terminal Business Case Industry Overview; Gold Coast Cruise Ship Terminal Business Case Market Sounding and Demand Assessment; Gold Coast Cruise Ship Terminal Business Case Economic Analysis; and Gold Coast Cruise Ship Terminal Business Case Financial Feasibility. The report highlights the key messages from each of the technical reports. Table 13 Gold Coast Cruise Ship Terminal Information Summary December Navigation Simulation Council resolved in August 2012 (G ) to proceed with a navigational simulation exercise on the Gold Coast within the Broadwater. A navigational simulation exercise for cruise ships within the Broadwater was undertaken at "Smartship Australia" in Brisbane from the 26th to 30th November The objective of the exercise was to determine the feasibility of navigating selected cruise ships to and from the proposed terminal (Option 3) within the Gold Coast Broadwater in the most safe and effective way having regard to the proposed limits and depths of dredged areas and real time environmental forces. Sixty three simulations were undertaken utilising five different cruise ships representing vessels that are currently, previously or about to trade in Australian waters and are available as validated models at the Smartship facility in Brisbane. The five ships were also selected to provide the best range of size and propulsion systems that could be simulated over the time available. Qualified and experienced practicing pilots were in attendance to operate the simulator representing both Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) and Brisbane Marine Pilots (BMP).

This report presents the findings of a technical study of the engineering, environmental, operational, planning and costing aspects of five locations for a Gold Coast cruise ship terminal commissioned by the Department of State Development. The final report was completed in September The phases of the study involved: (Phase one) definition of the concepts and the capture of all data and existing information relevant to each of the concepts. (Phase two) development of the concept for each of the five options and an assessment of the key issues with respect to technical feasibility, operational issues, environmental issues and planning and development issues. (Phase three) analysis of the risks considering the outcomes of the technical review, definition and description of the schemes, a review of these prior to their adoption, finalisation of quantities and sizes, the development of cost estimates and the preparation of the final option report. The five sites considered by this study were: Option 1: single berth wharf located in the Gold Coast Seaway, with the adjacent passenger terminal at the current location of The Spit carpark. Option 2: finger wharf with double berth located in the Marine Stadium, with the passenger terminal located on the western side of The Spit. Site Context Report - Broadwater Marine Project

18 5. Hydrodynamics and Coastal Processes 5.1 Broadwater/Seaway Conceptual Model A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) incorporating independent experts was jointly initiated and funded by the State (Maritime Safety Queensland) and Council through the Gold Coast Waterways Steering Committee (WSC). The TAC guided the development of a suite of hydrodynamic models and collated relevant baseline data to provide a detailed understanding of the coastal processes at the Seaway as a baseline study to inform the Broadwater Masterplan. The WSC was formed in 2010 between the State, Council and industry (Marine Queensland) to improve the provision and quality of coastal, foreshore and waterway infrastructure within Gold Coast City. The WSC ceased in 2012 with the formation of the Gold Coast Waterways Authority. The conceptual model is the most up to date understanding of the various coastal processes influencing the Gold Coast Seaway and is provided as a series of web pages that includes schematic explanation. Table 18 May Broadwater Hydrodynamic Models One of the WSC s initiated Broadwater Masterplan investigations was to develop a suite of models to ascertain the hydrodynamic conditions of the Broadwater. This suite of calibrated models was developed internally by Council. Three hydrodynamic models were developed, namely the Regional Model, Sub- Regional Model and 3D Sediment Model (incomplete and not provided in the Virtual Data Room via Affinitext). The Regional Model extends from Mooloolaba in the north to Snapper Rocks in the south and is calibrated to 2004/2005 and 2009 recorded tide data. The Sub-Regional Model extends from Russell Island to Nerang River and it is calibrated to the 2004/2005 tide. Both Regional and Sub-Regional Models are based on the MIKE software suite that can simulate both tidal and flood scenarios. Wave and sediment transport capabilities have not been developed in this suite of models.

19 External Provision of Data Letter Council 5.3 Coastal and Hydrodynamic Investigations for Cruise Ship Terminal Options This study provides a high-level, preliminary assessment of potential impacts associated with a stand alone transit port cruise ship terminal inside the Gold Coast Broadwater. This assessment has used suitably validated numerical models to consider: Tidal regime changes; Storm tide impacts; Flood impacts; Morphodynamic changes; and Sedimentation potential. Initial modelling assessments considered six potential cruise ship terminal options, which was reduced to a shortlist of three options for more detailed modelling. The northern channel option and southern most option were removed from further assessment primarily due to generating significantly higher impacts than the other options. The western most swing basin option was removed from ongoing assessment due to the constraint of relatively shallow rock in this area. The completed assessments have intentionally been performed at a high level, with a large number of different assessments being undertaken to inform a broad range of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic impacts. This report will be available in Virtual Data Room via Affinitext in late July Table 20 Preliminary Coastal and Hydrodynamic Investigations for Cruise Ship Terminal Options Model files of the Preliminary Coastal and Hydrodynamic Investigations for Cruise Ship Terminal Options July 2013 July Surfing Assessment In 2012 Council resolved to investigate the potential to progress a stand alone transit port cruise ship terminal in the Gold Coast Broadwater which triggered significant community discussion and resulted in a number of surfing impact related media articles. In order to open discussions with the surfing community, Council facilitated a workshop including Professor Andrew Short to discuss the potential impacts of a cruise ship navigation channel on the famous surf break at South Stradbroke Island called The Other Side (TOS). A number of background documents assisted the discussions including: Notional Seaway Project Appendix H Wave Modelling Report and Historical Seaway Photos detailed within the Broadwater/Seaway Conceptual Model.

21 6. Environment and Sustainability 6.1 Ecological Investigations to Support the Broadwater Masterplan Report This report was undertaken for the WSC as a baseline study for the Broadwater Masterplan in The study area was the Southport Broadwater extending from the Sundale Bridge in the south to Sovereign Islands in the north. A section of the western Broadwater from the Southport Pier to Biggera Creek in the north, on the inside of Wave Break Island was assessed as part of an earlier study. The reporting for this assessment (Stage 1 - Broadwater Regional Infrastructure Project) has been included as Appendix A of the report. The objectives of the report were to provide the WSC with the following information: a desk top review and summary of previous survey reports and related data for comparative analysis and reporting; an ecological survey and site assessment (undertaken in March and April 2012) including: o Wader bird (shorebird) and roosting sites study; o Riparian vegetation including mangroves; o Distribution and composition of seagrass communities; and o Fish communities and habitat. an assessment of the relative ecological and conservation values within the Gold Coast Broadwater; and an assessment of potential opportunities to enhance the ecological health, through improvement in water quality, ecosystem representation and possible offsets. The results of the field surveys were then assessed to determine areas of general and high conservation significance. Table 22 Ecological Investigations to Support the Broadwater Masterplan September Ocean Beaches Strategy The Ocean Beaches Strategy outlines Council s preferred approach to managing ocean beaches so that the community and visitors can continue to enjoy the benefits the Gold Coast s beaches provide. This strategy provides guidance for future funding decisions that will deliver clean, healthy, safe and accessible beaches to the Gold Coast. Table 23 Draft Gold Coast Ocean Beaches Strategy March 2013 Site Context Report - Broadwater Marine Project

22 6.3 Northern Beaches Sand Replenishment Program A Prescribed Tidal Works approval was obtained in November 2010 for the deposition of sand material within the active/dynamic beach profile at Surfers Paradise. The works were undertaken to improve the natural defence of the beach profile against erosion by increasing the volume of sand available within the profile. The Prescribed Tidal Works approval is provided as it details the approved nourishment envelope. Table 24 Northern Beaches Sand Replenishment Program November Gold Coast Seaway Delta Operational Works Approval An Operational Works Approval for Tidal Works was obtained in October 2011 for maintenance dredging in the waters described as the offshore approaches and main navigation channel at the entrance to the Gold Coast Seaway. The Decision Notice is provided as it provides detail on the existing Dredge Area Boundary.

As a result in 2011 Maritime Safety Queensland commissioned BMT WBM to review the stability of the training walls The investigation concluded that there is evidence that the entrance channel is continuing to scour. An investigation of remedial actions was recommended which included rock protection of the bank slopes, channel flow re-balancing or possible re-design of the training wall sections. Table 48 Gold Coast Seaway Channel Scour and Rock Wall Stability Investigation December Gold Coast Seaway Preliminary Training Wall Stability Improvement Investigation The geotechnical assessment in 2011 indicated that the Factor of Safety (FoS) for the stability of sections of the southern training wall (Ch. 375m) and northern training wall (Ch. 00m) had reduced to about 1.0 (Coffey 2011, refer Appendix A) and recommended an investigation of remedial actions. This investigation undertook a preliminary assessment of the option of increasing the factor the factor of safety by placing rock low in the cross section profile.

Site Context Report - Broadwater Marine Project

36 Northern Seaway Release System Broadwater Assimilative Capacity Study (BACS) was a recommendation of two previous advisory committees investigating solutions for extending the capacity of the Northern Seaway Release System. The BACS provided a scientific basis for Council to seek approval for extending its release window from 10.5 hours per day to 13.3 hours per day for the Northern Seaway Release System (under the Coombabah STP Development Approval). The Seaway SmartRelease Project was subsequently instigated to ensure this extension was managed responsibly. This project optimised the release (13.3 hrs/day) by aligning the release times to best utilise the flows within the Seaway. Additional modelling undertaken using this model however demonstrated that the release window could be increased while still having an improvement to receiving water quality through further optimisation. As such, a second extension to the release window from 13.3 hours per day to 15 hours per day (with a relative volumetric and mass loads increase) was approved. 15 hours per day is the current release conditions (under the Coombabah Sewage Treatment Plant Development Approval). Despite these successful extensions to the existing release, the system is fast approaching infrastructure capacity and is expected to exceed capacity between Southern Seaway Release System Following the success of the Seaway SmartRelease Project, the project methodology was replicated for the Southern Seaway Release System. While this project demonstrated that improvements to receiving water quality could be achieved through optimisation of the release timing, this would directly conflict with the local dive industry who prefer to dive at the Seaway during slack high water. This decision was made in the context that a Long Term Recycled Water Release solution would be investigated for the entire city. While from an infrastructure capacity perspective this system has until approximately 2024 before exceeding capacity there are considerable operational constraints within the system.

37 Council (Gold Coast Water), Long Term Recycled Water Release System Options Assessment, Summary Report As detailed in section , Seaway Release Systems, the decision was made by Council to pursue a Long Term Recycled Water Release solution. This summary report details Councils current work in undertaking an options analysis to determine an offshore release location for excess recycled water from the city s four (possibly five in the future) sewage treatment plants. This infrastructure is required to meet the needs of the growing population and associated forecast sewage treatment and water release projections for the next fifty years (until 2061). The decision to evaluate potential offshore release systems was based on a review undertaken by Allconnex (including Council) in This review recommended that a long term release strategy be developed that considers deep ocean release as a potential long term solution in combination with water reduction, recycling and reuse initiatives. Table 53 Gold Coast Water, Long Term Recycled Water Release Options Assessment, Summary Report April Coombabah Wastewater Masterplan The Coombabah wastewater scheme services a fully developed urban area and has a current wastewater demand of about 70,000 equivalent tenements (ET). Significant infill growth is expected over the next fifty years with the population projected to double, resulting in wastewater demands approaching 140,000 ET. Upgrading the existing wastewater network to cater for this growth poses a number of unique challenges, particularly for those areas of the network located in the high density areas of Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Southport. The wastewater network itself is also unique in that it is predominantly pumped with few trunk gravity mains. Consequently the network is complex and presents operational and maintenance challenges. The outcomes of the Coombabah Sewerage Master Plan is being used for the planning of Council s 5 and 10-year capital works programme, the Water Netserv Plan study, infrastructure capacity assessment for development approvals and Commonwealth Games sewage infrastructure requirements.

38 Molendinar Water Catchment Master Plan Report The purpose of this report was to provide Council with short term and long term master planning philosophy for the potable water supply network within the Molendinar and Southport West Water Supply Districts (WSDs). The augmentation strategy presented in this report considers the previous planning strategies recommended in Council s Priority Infrastructure Planning (PIP) study undertaken in 2006, along with recent planning and associated augmentations either identified or installed as part of the following key projects: Gold Coast Rapid Transit (GCRT) project; Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct (GCHKP) development; and Fire-fighting augmentations. Table 55 Molendinar Water Catchment Master Plan Report February Gold Coast Water - Sewerage System and Potable Water Network Models Sewerage Network Model Hydraulic modelling analysis was undertaken for the Coombabah master plan study to identify existing sewerage network deficiency for each planning horizon. Planning horizons are based on the existing base scenario and the succeeding 5 year planning horizons such as 2016, 2021, 2026, 2031 and 2056 (PSD). For the Infrastructure Demand Model (IDM) population projections were used in the modelling analysis to identify sewer augmentation requirements for each planning horizons. The modelling software package used for the Coombabah master plan study was H2OMap SWMM developed by Innovyze. This is the adopted modelling software used for any Council sewerage infrastructure modelling analysis. The H2OMap SWMM model base scenario was set-up reflecting Councils existing sewerage infrastructure systems in the ground. Potable Water Network Model The Potable Water Network model contains all the Water Supply Districts (WSDs) including Molendinar and Southport West WSDs, north of the Nerang River. The water demands in the model within the Molendinar and Southport West WSDs are based on the latest Infrastructure Demand Model (IDM, 2012). The demand patterns are based on the latest Council (GCW) desired standards of service. The hydraulic modelling analysis for this master planning study was undertaken for 2011, 2016, 2021, 2026, 2031 and 2056 planning horizons to identify the water infrastructure augmentations for each planning horizon within Molendinar and Southport West WSDs.

39 The modelling software used for Molendinar Water Supply Catchment Master Planning Study was H2OMap Water, developed by Innovyze. This software is currently used for all Council Potable Water Network modelling analysis. The base scenario in the H2OMap Water Model was set-up to reflect the existing Councils potable water networks which include reservoirs, pump stations, water mains, pressure reducing valves and flow control valves. Each future scenario was analysed for increased demand and identified augmentations for existing networks.
