- The effect of climate change on extreme sea levels along Victoria’s coast (McInnes et.al., 2009a)
This report was prepared by CSIRO for DSE as part of the Future Coasts Program. The report determines extreme surge and storm-tide levels for the coast and the hazard implications of these, in terms of inundation. It assesses current and future climate conditions and sea-level rise to determine at risk areas.
- The effect of climate change on extreme sea levels in Port Phillip Bay (McInnes et.al., 2009b)
This report is similar to the above, for the Port Phillip Bay area.
- Victorian Coastal Strategy 2014 (Victorian Coastal Council, 2014)
The Victorian Coastal Strategy 2014 (previous Strategy versions 1997, 2002 and 2008) is required under the Coastal Management Act 1995 to provide long-term planning advice and directions for management of the Victorian coast for the next 100 years. Application of the strategy is a requirement within the State Planning Policy Framework for all coastal municipalities. The Victorian Coastal Council has identified five significant issues facing the coast that require specific attention. They are:
- Managing population growth
- Adapting to a changing climate
- Managing coastal land and infrastructure
- Valuing the natural environment
- Integrating marine planning
