About the project
Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy
Our Resilient Gulf
Council is undertaking a series of investigations to inform short and long-term management of the coastal zone, and how we can enhance resilience and adapt to changing coastal hazards.
Coastal hazards include erosion of sandy coastlines, and short or long-term seawater inundation of low-lying areas. Coastal hazards in the Gulf are typically associated with storms, tropical cyclones, and long-term sea-level rise.
Council has received funding from the Queensland Government program QCoast2100 for a program of work to inform coastal hazard adaptation initiatives, including:
Phase 1: Developing a stakeholder engagement and communication strategy
Phase 2: Completing a scoping study
Phase 3: Mapping of coastal hazard areas (present day to 2100)
Phase 4: Collating values and assets, and assessing exposure to coastal hazards
Phase 5: Assessing coastal hazard risk to assets and values
Phase 1 and 2 were completed in 2019. Phase 3 – 6 of the process is running over April to August 2020. A range of stakeholder groups are providing input through each Phase of the project.
If you are interested in contributing to Our Resilient Gulf, please be part of our community consultation. Your ideas and input will be a valuable to inform the technical work and future initiatives.
