  • The Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Port Fairy coastal environment. This data considers setback of the present day shoreline due to coastal erosion if existing seawall (where present) remains in place. The four key components of coastal setback that are incorporated into this hazard line are: - S1, allowance for short term storm erosion (storm demand 100 year ARI); - S2, allowance for dune stability (zone of reduced foundation capacity); - S3, allowance for ongoing underlying recession; and, - S4, allowance for recession due to future sea level rise. The total design setback (S) for three planning horizons comprises: - Present day: S = S1 + S2; - 2050: S = S1 + S2 + S3(2050) + S4(2050); - 2080: S = S1 + S2 + S3(2080) + S4(2080); and - 2100: S = S1 + S2 + S3(2100) + S4(2100). Sea level rise projections utilised for the planning horizons were 0.4 m for 2050, 0.8 m for 2080 and 1.2 m for 2100 respectively. Where appropriate, the +6 m AHD contour was used as a reference as it was considered to represent the coastal alignment reasonably. The crest of the rock revetment was used as the reference contour on the southern half of East Beach. For low-lying dune systems the +2 m AHD contour was used.

  • The Gippsland Lakes Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Gippsland Lakes coastal environment. The coastal shoreline hazard assessment maps the potential coastal hazard zone under 0.0m, 0.2m, 0.4m and 0.8m mean sea level rise scenarios. The coastal hazard zones were determined using a range of methods, and include hazards associated with storm erosion, longshore sediment transport gradients, equilibrium profile adjustment and wave overwash processes.

  • The Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Western Port coastal environment. Information has been collected on inundation hazards (storm surge and catchment inflows) using modelling for different sea level rise scenarios. This data represents the extent of storm tide inundation for the 1% Average Exceedance Probability (AEP) storm tide for the current mean sea level (based on hydrodynamic modelling).

  • The Gippsland Lakes Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Gippsland Lakes coastal environment. The extent of high and very high risk shoreline in lakes shoreline erosion susceptibility based on revised analysis of wave and wind currents, geomorphology, shoreline vegetation and presence of structures under 0.8m sea level rise conditions. the scores were revised based on removal of all artificial structures and incorporating wave and current exposure modelled for the 0.8m scenario. For the sea level rise scenario the biological score was based on the existing land use and vegetation communities present at the 0.9 m AHD contour.

  • The Bellarine-Corio Bay Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Bellarine-Corio Bay coastal environment. Dynamic inundation modelling was carried out to create this data layer for 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) coastal inundation under the assumption of 0.8 m Sea Level Rise in 2016, for the following study areas along the coast of the Bellarine Peninsula and Greater Geelong area: Barwon Heads / Lake Connewarre; Breamlea; Newcomb; and Queenscliff / Lakers Cutting.

  • The Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Port Fairy coastal environment. This data represents the inundation extent for the Port Fairy study area. It has been derived from the combined analysis of the results of "bathtub" inundation modelling (considering astronomical tide, barometric setup and wave setup) and "dynamic coastal inundation numerical modelling" for the coastal area of the Port Fairy township (estimating combined ocean and catchment flooding). The following conditions were assumed: -10 year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) Riverine Boundary Condition -50 year ARI Ocean Boundary Condition -Present Day, 0 m Sea Level Rise Details of the assumptions made in the derivation of this information can be found in project reports on the Our Coast website: http://www.ourcoast.org.au/cb_pages/resources.php.

  • The Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Port Fairy coastal environment. This data considers setback of the present day shoreline due to coastal erosion if existing seawall (where present) was to fail. The four key components of coastal setback that are incorporated into this hazard line are: - S1, allowance for short term storm erosion (storm demand 100 year ARI); - S2, allowance for dune stability (zone of reduced foundation capacity); - S3, allowance for ongoing underlying recession; and, - S4, allowance for recession due to future sea level rise.

  • This table decodes the random integer IDs found in the REPORT_NO field of many flood schema datasets. Its purpose is to condense lengthy comments regarding the feature's source flood report, into a numeric value to store against spatial features in the respective attribute tables. There may be many to one relationships between features and report codes. Report codes are not a mandatory field and many features have a null report code.
