Australand development director Glenn Colquhoun said various studies had been carried out from the early stages of planning to look at possible impact on local surf breaks.
"Various numerical (computer based simulation) and physical modelling (a model built to scale) has been done.
"This modelling has indicated that there will be no impact on local surf breaks.
"We initially had pre-cast concrete for the breakwall but have since changed it to locally sourced rock and while it is not guaranteed, we are hopeful the breakwall will create a new break at South Beach."
