Future Coastal Refugia Area Guidance Map

The Future Coastal Refugia Area Guidance Map has been prepared to provide guidance for local government in preparing the future coastal refugia area overlay for the application of the Natural Assets Code as part of the Local Provisions Schedules in the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. The Guidance Map provides guidance for mapping the future coastal refugia area overlay by identifying potential future coastal saltmarsh and tidal wetland areas based on the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC) predicted sea level rise and 1% AEP storm surge height mapping for 2100, including areas with and without LiDAR coverage. The Guidance Map categorises the land in accordance with the current interim planning schemes and Flinders Planning Scheme 2000 zones for the purposes of mapping the future coastal refugia area overlay. The future coastal refugia area overlay in Local Provisions Schedules should be derived from the Guidance Map in accordance with Guideline No. 1 â Local Provisions Schedule (LPS): zone and code application: https://www.planning.tas.gov.au/assessment-resources/section-8a-guidelines
