Coastal Inundation Model for Bellarine Peninsula with 0.2m Sea Level Rise

Static inundation modelling for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability coastal flood event under a 0.2m sea level rise scenario in 2016. The data layer covers 14 study areas along the Bellarine Peninsula and Greater Geelong coast, including Avalon, Breamlea, and Portarlington. It was produced by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and is available in multiple geospatial file formats.

Use Cases

• Map coastal flood extent for planning purposes based on the static inundation model.
• Assess physical impacts of sea level rise on specific coastal communities based on the listed study areas.
• Integrate hazard layers into regional risk models based on the provided geospatial formats.
• Validate or compare dynamic flood models using this static baseline scenario.

Strengths

• Model covers 14 specific coastal study areas.
• Data is available in 7 different geospatial file formats (DWG, MIF, DXF, SHP, etc.).
• Project reports detailing assumptions and limitations are referenced.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The model is a static 'bathtub' type, which may not account for dynamic flood processes.
