Port Fairy Coastal Inundation Extent for 2080 with 0.8m Sea Level Rise

Port Fairy, Australia, is the study area for this coastal hazard assessment. The dataset models the inundation extent resulting from combined ocean and catchment flooding under specific future conditions. It was published by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and last updated on April 9, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess future flood risk for property and infrastructure based on the modelled 2080 inundation extent.
• Plan coastal defense strategies based on the assumed dune breach extent near East Beach.
• Model combined ocean and catchment flooding impacts using the results from dynamic coastal inundation numerical modelling.
• Evaluate hazard zones for insurance and emergency management under the 100-year Average Recurrence Interval ocean condition.

Strengths

• Models a specific future scenario for 2080 with a 0.8-meter sea level rise.
• Derived from combined bathtub and dynamic coastal inundation numerical modelling.
• Uses defined boundary conditions including a 100-year ARI ocean event and a 20-year ARI riverine event.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
