Victorian Coastal Inundation Projections from 2009 to 2100

Eight spatial layers model coastal inundation for Victoria, Australia, from 2009 to 2100. The dataset includes projections for sea level rise alone and combined with 1-in-100-year storm tide events. It was created by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action to support the Victorian Government's Future Coasts Project.

Use Cases

• Assess regional-scale coastal vulnerability based on projected sea level rise layers.
• Model compound flood risk for storm tide events combined with sea level rise.
• Inform long-term land-use and infrastructure planning based on inundation extents.
• Support climate adaptation strategy development for the Victorian coast.

Strengths

• Includes eight distinct spatial layers for different scenarios and time points.
• Provides specific sea level rise projections (e.g., 82cm by 2100) and storm surge increases.
• Explicitly states recommended use scale (1:75,000 or less detail) and limitations.

Limitations

• Not suitable for property-level risk assessments as stated in the description.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
