Request a coastal hazard area map
Queensland Coastal Hazard Area maps show areas vulnerable to coastal erosion or storm tide inundation. These maps can be obtained free of charge by choosing one of the three options below.
Coastal Hazard Area maps display the following:
- areas considered vulnerable to coastal erosion or permanent tidal inundation due to climate change sea level rise
- areas that have a 1% or greater risk of storm tide inundation in any one year including projected climate change impact to 2100 (a 0.8m increase in sea level) – it shows two risk areas: high risk areas where inundation would be greater than 1m in depth, and a medium risk area where inundation will be less than 1m.
Both maps also include the Coastal Management District and Coastal Building Lines (where applicable). See Coastal hazards and mapping for further details.
