Draft Tumby Bay Coastal Adaptation Strategy
The District Council of Tumby Bay (the Council) commissioned Wavelength Consulting to develop a Coastal Adaptation Strategy (CAS). This strategy recommends specific priority adaptation pathways to manage coastal erosion and inundation risks taking into account economic, environmental and community considerations.
The purpose of the CAS is to:
- identify assets and values (public and private) and the risk posed to them by coastal hazards
- develop a plan that will allow DCTB to respond to identified risks through adaptation planning processes
- recommend specific actions and future monitoring to ensure the risk management and adaptation plan activities are working into the future as expected and guide their implementation over time.
This study considers a 76-year planning timeframe (to 2100) in line with adaptation planning best practice with consideration of coastal hazards under current and future (2050 and 2100) sea level rise scenarios.
The Council now invites comment on the Draft Tumby Bay Coastal Adaption Strategy. The document is accessible below, or a copy is viewable in person at the Council Office upon request.
