Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan

CHRMAP - Coastal

The Shire of Harvey is one of nine member councils of the Peron Naturaliste Partnership (PNP), a group of local governments who have adopted a regional, collaborative approach to monitoring and management of the coastal zone from Cape Peron to Cape Naturaliste in southwest Western Australia. Through the PNP, a number of studies have been completed to identify areas where future impacts from coastal erosion and inundation may affect assets or planning.

These include:

Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) - Coastal

This CHRMAP assists in planning for and managing coastal assets from the southern tip of Leschenault Peninsula to the northern Shire boundary, approximately 11km south of Preston Beach. The town centres at Binningup and Myalup are included.

Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) - Leschenault

The PNP’s Coastal Adaptation Pathways Project identified the coastal areas of Capel, Leschenault and Greater Bunbury as being particularly exposed to coastal hazards and climate change. This CHRMAP project aims to increase knowledge and understanding of coastal hazard risks and identify risk management and adaptation measures for implementation. The outcomes will be used to inform local and state government policies, strategies and plans.
