2019-07-09 P&E Agenda - Item 10 - Attachment 1 - Coastal Hazards Risk, Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment

Noosa Shire Council Coastal Hazard Mapping                                                                2
Background




         • Community planning; and

         • Emergency management.

         The QCoast2100 Minimum Standards & Guidelines (MS&G) provide guidance to local government
         wishing to prepare a CHAP. The guidelines set minimum requirements that are to be included in a
         CHAP as well as providing information on leading practices to facilitate continuous improvement.
         The minimum standards set a benchmark for undertaking such studies in Queensland so that
         coastal hazard adaptation decision-making is approached in a consistent and systematic manner.
         The MS&G are structured to address the key phases of a CHAP which are illustrated in Figure 1-1.
         This report is a key output of Phase 3 – the identification of areas exposed to current and future
         coastal hazards.

         This report and mapping are just one tool that will be used to support future consultation with the
         community and a risk assessment process; in combination, these will then inform the
         consequences of these hazards to assets and future strategic planning in response.

1.3      Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan Scoping Study
         A review of existing information relevant to the Noosa CHAP has been completed (BMT WBM
         2017). The review identified the necessary additional studies to address key knowledge gaps and
         establish a basis for a risk assessment process in accordance with the Australian Standard for Risk
         Management (AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009).

         Regarding coastal hazard mapping, two priority gap studies were identified:
