 detailed picture of existing and
future coastal hazards
 maps coastal erosion and inundation

storm event scenarios for the periods
to 2040, 2070 and 2100

Current planning scheme controls
relate to TEMPORARY storage of
riverine and estuarine floodwater for
the 1:100 year flood – LSIO and FO
currently being applied to areas subject
to coastal inundation in lieu of no other
options e.g.. Bass Coast and Port Fairy
West

project needs to identify future
planning scheme controls to manage
more frequent coastal flooding
followed by PERMANENT inundation –
