Beyond the toe at Radical
|
In 2002, not long after Juniper Development Group purchased its land at Radical Bay, they commissioned Coastal Engineering Solutions (CES) to, in effect, determine what distance from the ocean would be safe to place what is now to be a, 24 residential block, gated community. This distance would be the buffer zone, in official terms, the ‘erosion prone area’. But, since examining documents Juniper have recently made public, Magnetic Times has found that the width of this vital safety area has been reduced by 35 metres and that the seaward line from which it is measured now appears to be significantly further out to sea than Juniper's own consultants recommended.
