The previous Bellarine Coastal Process Study (Cardno, 2011c) provides some guidance on risk and mitigation strategies for this area; this should be consulted as a starting point.
- Compile an asset register based on the extents of the inundation.
- Undertake a risk assessment.
- Determine and evaluate options to reduce / mitigate risk using a quadruple bottom-line assessment, and the necessary timeframes to rank priority.
- Determine works schedules for future years. This could possibly be done as part of an updated local management plan (or produce one if one is not already in place) and incorporate the preferred mitigation option findings
