Cape York (Northern Peninsula QLD) Coastal Hazard Assessment

Home / Projects / Coastal hazards / Cape York (Northern Peninsula QLD) Coastal Hazard Assessment

This project required technical analysis, numerical modelling, concept design and efficacy estimates to support the development of a long-term Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy. It spanned three coastal towns within the Northern Peninsula; Seisia, Umagico and Injinoo, and included coastal processess assessments over three planning horizons; present day, 2050 and 2100. Our team used large-scale cyclone modelling using Delft3D to simulate the likely erosion for events with a 5%, 1% and 0.2% Annual Exceedance Probability
