The CHRMAP will inform surroundings the assessment of statutory and strategic planning decisions within the coastal zone, including developing a local planning policy to guide development with the coastal zone. City of Karratha Coastal Hazard Risk The objectives of this CHRMAP include: Management and Adaptation Plan • Improve the understanding and awareness of (2014) coastal features, processes and hazards within the District; • Identify and map the extent of coastline vulnerable to coastal processes and storm surge where mapping is already available; Karratha, Dampier, • Build and improve mapping over time and Point Sampson, City of Karratha resources become available to better understand Completed Roebourne and the impacts of coastal processes and storm surge Wickham within the District; • Determine the likelihood and consequence of the adverse impacts of coastal hazards on the assets, and assign a level of risk through application of the City’s risk assessment framework; • Identify a range of possible management and adaptation measures to guide decision making. Onslow Coastal Hazard Risk The Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Management and Adaptation Plan Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) has been prepared to (2017) provide a long-term view of the possible strategies to adapt to the changing future conditions that will impact the current town. A key aspect for the future Pilbara of the town is the threat of steadily rising sea levels, combined with storm events - ocean storm surge, Shire of Ashburton Onslow coast local rainfall-induced flooding and rising water tables Completed – that will affect the viability of low lying areas of the town. In addition, coastal erosion is likely to threaten some infrastructure in the lee of the present Town Beach, including the Bindi Bindi community area. Strategies that might be adopted to respond to these threats at significant future turning points are articulated in this plan. Port Hedland Townsite Coastal Hazard The Town of Port Hedland has identified the Risk Management and Adaptation Plan vulnerability of the Port Hedland townsite to coastal (2019) processes through a Coastal Hazard Risk Port Hedland townsite Management and Adaptation Planning (CHRMAP) Town of Port Hedland project. The project supports the state government’s Completed State Planning Policy No. 2.6 State Coastal Planning Policy (SPP2.6), which recommends a risk management approach for decision making relating to coastal hazards. Denham Townsite Coastal Hazard Risk The Denham Townsite CHRMAP identifies coastal Management Risk and Adaptation Plan hazards, evaluates their likelihood and consequences (2020) for specific assets, and identifies management and adaptation responses to the risk as well as prioritisation of these responses. It also informs the Water Technology for the Shire of Denham townsite community about potential coastal hazard risks; Completed Shark Bay identifies community and cultural values as well as key coastal infrastructure and assets at risk; and Gascoyne provides a clear pathway for the Shire of Shark Bay to address coastal hazard risks over time. Shire of Irwin Coastal Hazard Risk The Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Management and Adaptation Plan Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) provides strategic (2016) guidance on coordinated, integrated and sustainable management and adaptation for land use and development in the coastal zone. Specifically, this Shire of Irwin, Curtin University CHRMAP: and Northern Agricultural Shire of Irwin coastline • Provides information on the effects of coastal Completed Catchments Council hazards; • Presents a decision-making framework to assess Mid WestMid the associated risks; • Highlights coastal hazard areas in terms of vulnerability and risk; and • Suggests possible adaptation options. Geraldton Coastal Hazard Risk The City of Greater Geraldton has completed a suite Management and Adaptation Planning of studies indicated that portions of the coastline are Project (2018) at risk from inundation and erosion coastal hazards over a 100-year planning timeframe. The City is Cape Burney to adopting a risk management and adaptation Baird Australia for the City of Drummond Cove planning approach to deal with the adverse impacts Completed Greater Geraldton coastline of coastal hazards. This approach will ensure these hazards are appropriately factored into decision making processes regarding assets at risk or potentially at risk, sustainable land use and any future development. Horrocks Beach Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (2020) The CHRMAP identifies the potential extent of coastal hazards over a 100-year planning timeframe, GHD for the Shire of Horrocks Beach evaluates their likelihood and consequences for Completed Northampton specific assets, and identifies management and adaptation responses to the risk. Gingin Coastal Hazard Risk The Shire of Gingin has prepared a Coastal Hazard Management and Adaptation Plan Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) for (2019) the Shire’s coastal settlements, including Seabird, Ledge Point and Lancelin. It was prepared to provide Currently Lancelin, Ledge Point Shire of Gingin a long-term view of the potential future coastal being and Seabird erosion impacts to the coastal towns and provide reviewed possible strategies to adapt to the changing coastal conditions. The CHRMAP is currently being reviewed to include the findings of an inundation study. Dandaragan Coastal Hazard Risk The Shire of Dandaragan has prepared a Coastal Management and Adaptation Plan Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan Wheatbelt (2018) (CHRMAP) for the Shire’s coastal settlements, Cervantes and Jurien including Cervantes and Jurien Bay. The CHRMAP Shire of Dandaragan Completed Bay identifies areas and assets vulnerable to coastal erosion and sea level rise, and provides strategies to help minimise the risk and preserve coastal values. City of Cockburn Coastal Adaptation The plan provides a decision-making framework and Plan (2015) recommended adaptation pathways and actions to assist the City of Cockburn adapt to coastal risks in Cockburn Sound Coastal Alliance the immediate and long-term. This plan has been City of Cockburn coast Completed and the City of Cockburn prepared to adapt to the changing coast, and provides recommended timeframes and trigger points for decision-making and planning for the Cockburn coast from South Beach to Naval Base. City of Kwinana Coastal Adaptation This plan has been prepared to adapt to the changing Plan (2016) coast along the City of Kwinana, and provides recommended timeframes and trigger points for decision-making and planning for the Kwinana Cockburn Sound Coastal Alliance coast. The plan has been prepared as the first City of Kwinana coast Completed and the City of Kwinana iteration of an evolving, long-term planning and decision-making process for the City of Kwinana, the community, and key stakeholders to adapt our settlements and infrastructure to coastal processes – including risks of coastal erosion and inundation. City of Fremantle South Fremantle This plan has been prepared to adapt to the changing Coast Coastal Adaptation Plan (2016) coast south of the Swan River, and provides recommended timeframes and trigger points for decision-making and planning for the Fremantle Cockburn Sound Coastal Alliance South Mole to South coast from South Mole to South Beach. The Completed and the City of Fremantle Beach adaptation plan includes an implementation stage that recommends specific coastal adaptation activities to be delivered in the immediate (15-year) planning horizon. Perth Port, Leighton and Mosman Beach The Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan will inform coastal managers and Adaptation Plan (2018) decision makers of the types of coastal hazards and GHD prepared for the City of Port, Leighton and associated risks to assets and values, and the Fremantle and Town of Mosman Completed Mosman beaches resultant vulnerabilities these risks have to the Park community and stakeholders, allowing informed decisions to be made about future coastal management and planning. Wanneroo Coastal Hazard Risk The City of Wanneroo has prepared a Coastal Hazard Management and Adaptation Plan Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) for (2018) the City’s coastline.
