5References to s 6(2) solution in probable solution

In the table, a reference to the words ‘s 6(2) solution’, in brackets, before a probable solution is a reference to the requirement, under section 6 (2) of this code, that the probable solution must be complied with to achieve the specific outcome stated opposite the solution.

6How to comply with code

(1)This code is complied with for prescribed tidal work if each specific outcome applying to the work is achieved.

(2)A specific outcome mentioned in item 12.10, 13.1, 13.2, 15.1, 15.2, 16.1, 16.2, 16.4, 17.1, 18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 18.4, 18.7, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3 or 20.1 of the table is achieved only if the probable solution for achieving the outcome is complied with.

(3)Also, a specific outcome mentioned in any of items 12.1 to 12.10, 13.1, 13.2, 14.1, 14.2, 15.1 to 15.3, 16.1 to 16.4, 17.1, 18.1 to 18.6, 19.1 to 19.4 and 20.1 of the table is achieved only if the works carried out to comply with the probable solution for achieving the outcome are appropriately certified.

(4)A probable solution for achieving a specific outcome, other than a specific outcome mentioned in subsection (2), provides a guide for how the outcome may be achieved.

(5)In this section—

appropriately certified, for works carried out to comply with a probable solution for achieving a specific outcome, means the works have been certified by a relevant engineer as having been carried out appropriately for the achievement of the outcome.

relevant engineer means a person who, under the Professional Engineers Act 2002 , is a registered professional engineer in any of the following areas of engineering—

7Relationship between particular specific outcomes and probable solutions

(1)This section applies if there is an inconsistency or overlap between—

(a)a specific outcome (a general specific outcome) mentioned in any item in the table from item 12.1 to item 12.10, inclusive; and

(b)a specific outcome (a direct specific outcome) mentioned in any item in the table from item 13.1 to item 20.1, inclusive.

(2)The direct specific outcome prevails to the extent of the inconsistency or overlap.

(3) Subsection (4) applies if the probable solution for the general specific outcome includes an Australian Standard that is more stringent than a stated direct standard included in the probable solution for the direct specific outcome.

(4)The probable solution for the direct specific outcome is taken to include the Australian Standard instead of the stated direct standard.

Example for subsection (4)—

An Australian Standard mentioned in the probable solution in item 12.1 of the table includes a requirement about the minimum load a boardwalk or independent deck must be able to support and the minimum load is higher than the minimum load stated, for the boardwalk or deck, in paragraph (a) of the probable solution in item 15.1 of the table. Paragraph (a) of the probable solution in item 15.1 is taken to refer to the minimum load stated in the Australian Standard.

(5)In this section—

stated direct standard, included in the probable solution for a direct specific outcome, means a standard stated in the probable solution, other than a relevant planning scheme standard.

(s 6(2) solution) The design and construction of the retaining wall, revetment or seawall is consistent with the following standards— (a)  subject to paragraph (c), a retaining wall, revetment or seawall provides for a sub-layer or enough filter material to ensure it is reasonably likely to remain in place for at least 50 years; (b)  subject to paragraph (c), the bottom edge of the base of a retaining wall, revetment or seawall is reasonably likely to prevent any adverse effects from potential erosion of the soil under the retaining wall, revetment or seawall for at least 50 years; (c)  if a relevant planning scheme standard is more stringent than the standard mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b)—the relevant planning scheme standard, to the extent it is more stringent than the standard mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).
19.4  Prescribed tidal work that is a retaining wall, revetment or seawall, is not adversely affected by hydrostatic pressure behind the retaining wall, revetment or seawall.	The design and construction of the retaining wall, revetment or seawall is consistent with the following standards— (a)  subject to paragraph (b), a retaining wall, revetment or seawall provides for drainage holes, and suitable filter material behind the holes, to relieve any hydrostatic pressure behind the retaining wall, revetment or seawall; (b)  if a relevant planning scheme standard is more stringent than the standard mentioned in paragraph (a)—the relevant planning scheme standard, to the extent it is more stringent than the standard mentioned in paragraph (a).
Design, construction and safety—wharves
20.1  Prescribed tidal work that is a wharf is designed and constructed in a way to ensure it is able to support its intended loads, having regard to its relevant loading matters.	(s 6(2) solution) The design and construction of the wharf is consistent with the following standards— (a)  subject to paragraph (c), a major wharf, or a minor wharf accessible to vehicular traffic, is able to support at least the following— (i)  a distributed live load of 5.0kPa; (ii)  a concentrated live load of 13kN; or (b)  subject to paragraph (c), a minor wharf not accessible to vehicular traffic is able to support at least the following— (i)  a distributed live load of 5.0kPa; or (ii)  a concentrated live load of 4.5kN; or (c)  if a relevant planning scheme standard is more stringent than the standard mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b)—the relevant planning scheme standard, to the extent it is more stringent than the standard mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).
