LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE
1970 1971 ALTHEA
Looking back on past coastal hazard events provides the foundation for us to build on what we know works well in our region, as well as improving the way we manage the coast to strengthen our resilience and plan for future change. We know that wind and wave impacts from cyclones and storms can result in storm tide inundation and flooding of low lying coastal areas.
