Western Port Coastal Inundation for 10% AEP Flood Under 80cm Sea Level Rise

The Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment provides geospatial data on the extent of shoreline inundation hazards. This specific dataset models the inundation extent for a 10% Average Exceedance Probability catchment-generated flood under a +80cm sea level rise scenario. The data was produced by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and was last updated on 2026-04-09.

Use Cases

• Model coastal flood risk based on the 10% AEP catchment flood scenario.
• Plan infrastructure and land use based on projected inundation extent under a +80cm sea level rise.
• Assess physical impacts of storm surge and catchment inflows on the Western Port coastal environment.

Strengths

• Data is based on a specific, modeled scenario (10% AEP flood with +80cm SLR).
• Provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (EXTENDED TAB, MIF, SHP, GDB, DXF, TAB, DWG).
• Last updated date is provided (2026-04-09).

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.
• Users must read external project reports to understand the limitations of the data.
