Gippsland Lakes Coastal Inundation Extent for 10% AEP with 0.8m Sea Level Rise

The Gippsland Lakes coastal environment in Australia is covered by this dataset. It represents the inundation extent for a 10% Average Exceedance Probability water level, incorporating a 0.8-meter sea level rise condition based on hydrodynamic modeling. The data was produced by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model coastal flood risk based on the 10% AEP water level scenario.
• Plan land use and infrastructure development based on projected inundation extents.
• Assess climate change impacts using the incorporated 0.8-meter sea level rise condition.
• Validate hydrodynamic models using the published extent data.

Strengths

• Specific scenario defined: 10% AEP water level with 0.8m sea level rise.
• Based on hydrodynamic modeling, suggesting a physics-informed approach.
• Available in multiple GIS formats (SHP, GDB, TAB, etc.) for interoperability.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Assumptions and limitations are documented in external project reports, requiring additional reading.
