INVERLOCH_CHA_08SLR_2021_SIMP: Inverloch Coastal Erosion Hazard Zones for Sea Level Rise

A modelled geospatial dataset assessing coastal erosion hazard zones for the Inverloch region in Victoria, Australia. The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action produced it, modeling sea level rise scenarios of 0m (2020), 0.2m (2040), 0.5m (2070), and 0.8m (2100) combined with storm events of 1%, 5%, and 10% annual exceedance probability. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-28.

Use Cases

• Assessing coastal erosion risk for infrastructure planning based on modeled sea level rise scenarios.
• Visualizing future hazard zones for community engagement and policy development based on planning horizons to 2100.
• Integrating storm event probabilities with sea level rise projections for compound hazard analysis.
• Validating or comparing other coastal erosion models for the Victorian region.

Strengths

• Models four specific sea level rise scenarios (0m, 0.2m, 0.5m, 0.8m) tied to planning years (2020, 2040, 2070, 2100).
• Incorporates three distinct storm event probabilities (1%, 5%, 10% AEP) for hazard assessment.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse and adaptation.
• Offered in multiple geospatial file formats (DWG, SHP, DXF, GDB, etc.) for compatibility with various GIS tools.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale statistical modeling.
• The description notes 'some generalisation for publishing in CoastKit', suggesting the data may be a simplified version.
