Emu Point economic analysis of coastal adaptation options, WA

Home / Projects / Coastal hazards / Emu Point economic analysis of coastal adaptation options, WA

Working with EvoCoast, this project conducted a coastal erosion economic assessment and Cost-Benefit Appraisal (CBA) of several coastal adaptation options for the Emu Point to Middleton Beach Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP). Prepared for the local Council, the cost-benefit methodology has been designed to provide a quantitative, economic assessment of a range of adaptation options to address erosion vulnerability. It provides information on the whole life costs of each management strategy devised to mitigate erosion, the damages avoided due to the scheme implementation, and the economic benefits received within the Local Government Area
