Bellarine Peninsula Coastal Inundation Model with 1.1m Sea Level Rise

Static (bathtub) inundation modelling was carried out for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability coastal inundation scenario assuming 1.1m Sea Level Rise in 2016. The data covers 14 study areas along the coast of the Bellarine Peninsula and Greater Geelong, including Avalon, Breamlea, and Portarlington. The dataset was created by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and is available on data.gov.au.

Use Cases

• Model coastal inundation extent based on static (bathtub) modelling assumptions.
• Assess physical impacts of sea level rise for specific coastal study areas.
• Plan for coastal hazard mitigation based on 1% Annual Exceedance Probability scenarios.
• Compare inundation risks across 14 different locations on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Strengths

• Model assumes a specific 1.1m Sea Level Rise scenario for 2016.
• Covers 14 named study areas along the Bellarine Peninsula coast.
• Units are explicitly defined as mAHD.
• Project reports detailing assumptions and limitations are referenced.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific local coastal hazard assessment.
