Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment - Shallow Groundwater Extent - 0.0m Sea Level R

A geospatial dataset from the Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment modeling shallow groundwater hazard extents. The product consists of multiple spatial layers for modeled erosion, inundation, and groundwater scenarios and is recommended for regional-scale use around Port Phillip Bay. It was produced by CSIRO, Water Technology, and Kennedy (2022-2023) for the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.

Use Cases

• Model regional coastal groundwater hazard risk based on shallow groundwater extent layers.
• Assess the impact of sea level rise scenarios on coastal groundwater based on the range of SLR scenarios provided.
• Plan regional-scale coastal adaptation and land-use based on combined hazard extents (erosion, inundation, groundwater).

Strengths

• Includes multiple hazard scenarios (erosion, inundation, groundwater) across a range of sea level rise projections.
• Based on technical reports from authoritative sources like CSIRO (2022) and Water Technology (2023).
• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (SHP, TAB, GDB).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The product is explicitly stated as not suitable for individual property-scale assessments.
