Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy – Survey

Our Coastal Brisbane – Resilient and ready 

Council is collecting feedback about observed changes in the impacts of coastal hazards in our bayside and riverine areas. The survey relates to areas within the Brisbane city local government area. 

Coastal hazards are weather-related events, such as storm tides and other extreme weather conditions that create inundation and erosion in our coastal areas. Coastal hazards include: 

• Coastal erosion which includes shoreline recession due to sea erosion causing a permanent loss of land. 
• Storm tide inundation is a temporary inundation of land and occurs when water levels are elevated well above normal tidal levels during a severe storm event. 
• Sea-level rise inundation which includes periodic or permanent tidal inundation of land due to a rise in the mean sea level. 

Before completing this survey, it is recommended that you read Council’s fact sheet on Coastal Adaptation.
