Australian Coastal & Tidal Councils:

Responding to Sea Level Rise

One of the key issues for coastal & tidal councils is the impact of sea level rise over the long term, and more immediately the impact of the combination of storm surges and high tides on a council’s coastal infrastructure.

This Conference is focused on coastal & tidal council engineering staff and consultants who have been involved in the development of coastal and estuarine management response to sea level rise.

Focus on Practical Strategies & Solutions

This conference will provide the opportunity to bring together people who are facing the same climate change challenge. The aim is to share ideas and to learn how other council staff and consultants are innovating and developing adaptation responses to sea level rise.

If you have a strategy, solution or case study that you would be prepared to share with others, please contact us as soon as possible.
