Victorian Coastal Erosion and Inundation Hazard Assessment for Corangamite CMA

Victoria, Australia's coastline is assessed for erosion and inundation hazards under future climate change scenarios. The dataset was produced by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action to inform the Victorian Coastal Monitoring Program. It is a second-pass state-wide assessment from 2017.

Use Cases

• Model coastal erosion risk based on future climate scenarios mentioned in the description
• Map inundation zones for land-use planning based on hazard assessment data
• Inform coastal monitoring programs with geospatial hazard data
• Assess climate change impacts on specific coastal regions like the Corangamite CMA

Strengths

• Data is provided under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license
• Files are available in multiple geospatial raster formats including TIFF, GEOTIFF, and ECW
• Produced by the authoritative state Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action
• Focuses on a defined geographic region: the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority area in Victoria

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
• The core assessment is from 2017, though metadata was updated in 2026; data freshness should be verified
