A NIGHTMARE scenario of erosion and flooding of South Gippsland beaches and coastal properties has been predicted in a new report.
Inverloch, Venus Bay, Kilcunda, San Remo, Cape Paterson, Tarwin Lower, Walkerville, Waratah Bay, Sandy Point and Wilsons Promontory are among the coastal areas under threat, with residential properties at risk.

The predictions are part of the Gippsland Coastal Board’s Climate change, sea level rise and coastal subsidence along the Gippland Coast report.

Another precedent in Victoria - sea level climate change decision
