Coastal Inundation Mapping for Tasmania - Stage 4

This report was prepared for the project “Coastal Inundation Stage 4” for the Tasmanian Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC) and accompanies a set of GIS datasets and data tables produced in that project. The project was concerned with mapping of a set of sea-level rise scenarios around the Tasmanian coast and a representation of a set of those scenarios as inundation hazard bands. This report is primarily intended to document the methods used in the project. The sea-level rise allowances used in this project have been supplied by the Tasmanian Government to create coastal inundation area maps to support the development of a coastal policy, and a coastal inundation planning code. This project maps projected inundation associated with updated annual exceedance probability (AEP) and revised local government area (LGA)-specific height allowances data for the IPCC RCP8.5 scenario.
