GIPPSLAND LAKES COASTAL HAZARD EXTENT

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.

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. Users of this information should read these project reports to understand the limitations of the data.
