Gippsland Lakes Shoreline Erosion Hazard Extent Under 0.8m Sea Level Rise

Geospatial data from the Gippsland Lakes Local Coastal Hazard Assessment maps the potential change in shoreline position due to erosion under a 0.8-meter sea level rise scenario. The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action produced this information, which was last updated on April 9, —. Users are directed to project reports on the Our Coast website for detailed assumptions and limitations.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal erosion risk based on the 0.8m sea level rise scenario mentioned in the description
• Assessing physical impacts of sea level rise on the Gippsland Lakes shoreline as described in the Local Coastal Hazard Assessment
• Informing land-use and development planning based on mapped hazard extents for the coastal environment
• Comparing the scale of inundation-driven shoreline change versus erosion-driven change as noted in the description

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, quantified sea level rise scenario of 0.8 meters
• Provides geospatial data in multiple industry-standard formats (DWG, GDB, SHP, etc.)
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse

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
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
