Brisbane City Plan 2014 Coastal Erosion Hazard Overlay

Brisbane City Council's coastal hazard overlay map identifies erosion-prone areas for urban planning. The dataset is part of the Brisbane City Plan 2014, which is regularly updated. It is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license by the Brisbane City Council.

Use Cases

• Model coastal erosion risk for property development based on the defined erosion-prone area sub-category.
• Inform land-use planning and zoning decisions based on the coastal hazard overlay map.
• Assess long-term infrastructure vulnerability to sea-level rise based on the planning overlay framework.

Strengths

• Data is part of a formal, regularly updated city planning document (Brisbane City Plan 2014).
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Last updated timestamp is provided (2026-06-28 14:51:00.454718).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data freshness should be verified as the last update is in the future (2026).
