According to the IPCC (2007) adaptation is “adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities”. Adaptation (of human systems) can provide an opportunity to change our decision-making processes so that they are more inclusive, transparent, fair and legitimate, with a view to achieving outcomes that are equitable and redress existing inequalities (Adger and Nelson, 2010). The project presented here advanced existing adaptation research by: 1) Collecting information on the likely social outcomes of sea-level rise and a range of adaptation strategies in five coastal communities in Gippsland East, Victoria: Lakes Entrance, Seaspray, Port Albert, McLoughlins Beach and Manns Beach. 2) Developing an approach for identifying social and equity outcomes of adaptation to sea-level rise more generally so that non-research intensive institutions can obtain the local, social information required to inform more equitable adaptation policies. This final report provides an overview of the project in its entirety. A separate Guide for Government outlines six steps we have identified are critical for ensuring equitable local outcomes in adaptation to sea-level rise, it is publically available on the internet. Overview of outcomes The scoping phase of the project developed an understanding of the nature of the environmental risks posed by sea-level rise to the case study localities and the current institutional framework designed to deal with this risk. This phase of the project involved analysing existing scientific research, grey literature, government policies and initiatives as well as key stakeholder interviews and media analysis (see Section 4.1). The key results of the scoping phase (presented in Section 5) revealed that: • Existing studies on sea-level rise in Gippsland East only showed the risks associated with some of the biophysical effects of climate change; specifically, the magnitude and frequency of storm tide heights on the coast • The spatial resolution of existing biophysical studies were too broad for the purposes of town planning (the Coastal Hazard Assessment recently conducted by Water Tech goes some way to addressing this) • Adaptation, as it has transpired in the case study communities, is unlikely to achieve socially sustainable adaptation because it has not: o fostered local contextualisation or ownership to date o involved collective action across various tiers and arms of government o applied adaptation actions fairly across space and time The focused data collection phase obtained information on the things that residents’ value about the places in which they live, their expectations about what the future will look like in their towns, attitudes towards adaptation, and their preferences going forward. This phase involved analysis of community documents, development of a - iii - ‘values at risk’ framework, interviews and surveys of residents, and place-based observations (Section 4.2 provides details on the methods). The key results of the focused data collection phase (presented in Section 6) were: • The concept of ‘lived values’ is useful for identifying the things people value about living in a community and how this varies within and between communities. The research findings led us to identify this concept, and it is defined as follows: Lived values are valuations that individuals make, in isolation or as part of a group, about what is important in their lives and the places they live. • For Lakes Entrance: o The most important lived values were: the beauty of the area; being close to water; the friendly people; and the relaxed lifestyle. o Six lived values that elicited diverging opinions between different groups of residents were: peacefulness; financial security; feeling like a well-respected member of the community; sense of belonging; being close to family; and a unique place for children to grow up. • For Port Albert, Seaspray, McLoughlins Beach and Manns Beach: o The lived values that were important to most of the residents were the: peace and quiet; fishing; beauty; relaxed lifestyle; and being close to water. o The 11 lived values that elicited diverging views among different groups of residents were: feeling safe; a safe place for children; remoteness; peacefulness; slow pace of life; easy to get around; natural environment; being close to water; sense of belonging; everybody knows everybody; and feeling like a well-respected member of the community. • Adaptation policies need to ensure that the lived values that are most commonly shared among residents are maintained or enhanced and that efforts are made to compensate groups whose lived values are more affected than others. The assessing adaptation options phase developed a set of practical adaptation options for addressing sea-level rise in the case study localities and discussed the acceptability of these solutions with the communities. This phase involved an adaptation options workshop with relevant practitioners and community focus groups (see Section 4.3). The key outcomes of the adaptation options workshop (Section 7.3) involved the development of a pathway approach to adaptation, which matches the pace of adaptation to the pace of environmental and social changes. It requires: 1. Identifying the goals of adaptation; 2. Establishing social trigger points when new adaptation phases are needed; and 3. Deciding what activities should take place at each new phase of the process. The planned adaptation activities need to take into account the diversity of lived values that exist and the impacts that sea-level rise and adaptation will have on those values. A local pathway approach to adaptation to sea-level rise has the potential to give people confidence in the future of their towns, create smooth, well-paced transitions and ensure that diverse interests are accommodated. - iv - Table of contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .............................................................................................................................III LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................................................

The Port Albert Progress Association has formally received word from the Wellington Shire, that the Port 16th St John’s Service Albert’s inclusion to the C33 Amendment to the Wellington 17th Port Albert Hall Meeting Planning Scheme has been abandoned. The Wellington Shire 7pm @ PA Hall advised “the Minister for Planning changed the proposed 18th Port Albert Progress amendment, adopted by Council 2011, by not applying flood Meeting,7pm @ PA CFA controls to the urban areas in Port Albert. The urban areas 23rd Port Albert Racecourse include all land in Residential 1 Zone (R1Z), Commercial 1 Zone Working Bee @ 10am (C1Z/B1Z) and Commercial 2 Zone (C2Z/B4Z).” Notice of the approved amendment was published on 16 January 2014, in the 26th Port Albert Racecourse Meeting, 7.30pm @ Port Victorian Government Gazette. This is good news for the Albert Hall residents of Port Albert and the future residents of the town. In conjunction with this, the Wellington Shire moved to adopt new 27th Coffee Morning @ Port Albert Cafe @ 10.30am State Planning regulations in December 2013, to reduce the minimum floor heights for new dwellings in the Port to 0.2 meters as opposed to the 2.98-meter requirement under the C33 Walking Group meet every Monday 2pm & Thursday 10am Amendment provisions. It is now hoped that with the outside Port Albert Cafe undertaking of the ‘Port Albert Rural Lifestyle Lots Review,’ Port Albert can move forward into the future with much anticipation.

PAPA Meeting will not be held until Tuesday February Port Albert, Happy 2017 the 14th at the CFA Meeting Rooms As we say goodbye to 2016; some of us say goodbye sadly and some of us say goodbye with pleasure to a year that took people close that we loved and for others some of our greatest loved performers. For me the loss of Labyrinths tights wearing Port Albert Market, Sunday David Bowie, the fantastically somber Leonard Cohen & the flamboyant Prince; and the 22nd of Jan at the off course my guilty pleasure, Harry Potters Professor Severus Snape; (the amazing Mechanics Hall from 9am - Alan Rickman) has made this a dark year for loved ones and performers. However for Port Albert and our Local Area, I think we have seen some amazing thetattlerportalbert@gmail.com changes and events. We have seen Port Alberts Tarraville Road get its new footpath (although it took much longer than any of us would have liked), we've seen another great Australia Day celebration (about to surpassed by this years event hooray!!), our Port Albert Progress Association wonderful 175th birthday which I think was a winner (especially with Warren Curry’s PO BOX7, Port Albert 3971 amazing exhibition of our areas history, I may be biased but I think not), the rezoning of portalbertprogress@gmail.com a large section of properties (something we have been fighting for, for a long time), and finally having a Port Albert Councillor, Gayle Maher to represent us (congrats Gayle!!!) All works in The Port Albert Altogether its been a good year for our small town and this is only a small look at our Tattler remains a copywriter of successes'.

Menkhorst Fisheries and Wildlife Division, Ministry for Conservation, Arthur Ryiah Institute for Environmental Research, 123 Brown Street, Heidelberg, Victoria 3084 Abstract The South Gippsland area of eastern Victoria is the most southerly part of the Australian mainland and is contained within the Bassian zoogeographic subregion. The survey area contains most Bassian environments, including ranges, river flats, swamps, coastal plains, mountainous promontories and continental islands. The area was settled in the mid 180()s and much of the native vegetation was cleared for farming. The status (both present and historical) of 375 vertebrate taxa, 50 mammals, 285 birds, 25 reptiles and 15 amphibians is discussed in terms of distribution, habitat and abundance. As a result of European settlement, 4 mammal species are now extinct and several bird species are extinct or rare. Wildlife populations in the area now appear relatively stable and are catered for by six National Parks and Wildlife Reserves. Introduction TOPOGRAPHY AND PHYSIOGRAPHY {see Hills 1967; and Central Planning Authority 1968) Surveys of wildlife are being conducted by The north and central portions of the area the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the are dominated by the South Gippsland High- Ministry for Conservation as part of the Land lands (Strzelecki Range) which is an eroded, Conservation Council's review of the use of rounded range of uplifted Mesozoic sand- Crown Land in Victoria. stones and mudstones rising to 730 m.
