The Inverloch Region Coastal Hazard Assessment is a modelled dataset from the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. It assesses erosion hazard zones based on sea level rise projections of 0m (2020), 0.2m (2040), 0.5m (2070), and 0.8m (2100) and storm events with 1%, 5%, and 10% annual exceedance probability. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-28.
Use Cases
- Model coastal erosion risk based on projected sea level rise scenarios mentioned in the description
- Assess storm event impacts on shoreline stability based on annual exceedance probability data
- Plan for long-term coastal infrastructure and development based on hazard zone delineations
- Validate or calibrate other coastal hazard models using the provided planning horizons
Strengths
- Includes specific sea level rise projections for four planning horizons (2020, 2040, 2070, 2100)
- Models three distinct storm event probabilities (1%, 5%, 10% AEP)
- Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license
- Available in multiple geospatial file formats (DWG, SHP, GDB, etc.) for interoperability
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 Inverloch study area
