Corrosion Environments are areas located within 1 km of the coastline or 10 kms of breaking surf that are subject to special corrosion protection requirements for Class 1a and 10a buildings in accordance with the Building Code of Australia.

Climate change and population growth are accelerating the need for diverse solutions to coastal protection. Traditionally, shorelines are armoured with conventional "hard" or "grey" engineering structures such as seawalls which are non-adaptive and come with significant economic, environmental and social costs. While hard structures have a place in coastal protection, alternative 'living shorelines' methods harness natural ecosystems to reduce coastal erosion and flooding and provide co-benefits such as carbon sequestration. They may consist of dunes, wetlands and biogenic reefs: either alone (‘soft approach’) or in combination with hard structures (‘hybrid approach’). The Living Shorelines Australia project (https://livingshorelines.com.au) compiled a database of nature-based ("soft" or "hybrid") coastal protection projects from across Australia. This database acts as a tool to help coastal managers make informed decisions by providing as many examples as possible of where these solutions have been used, how they were used, and how effective they are in different contexts. The information in this database was collected through direct engagement with coastal managers and stakeholders, a literature search, and informal internet searching. Under the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub Project 1.10, this database was established and populated with 138 projects identified through the process described above. Since then (2022), the database has continued to be updated by The University of Melbourne and now contains 200 nature-based coastal protection projects.

This dataset and accompanying RMarkdown notebook document the analysis and efforts to consolidate spatial data on coastal protection structures, such as sea walls, groynes, and wharfs, across Australia's coastline. The project addresses the urgent need for a national-level dataset by sourcing data from various state governments and identifying gaps in coverage. The dataset integrates contributions from OpenStreetMap (OSM), Smartline, and state-based government databases, resulting in a research-quality geospatial file. Key attributes include the location and type of coastal structures, with data standardised for consistency across regions. Limitations are noted, such as the absence of government-supplied data for certain regions and potential accuracy issues with OSM-sourced information. The dataset is intended for research purposes, supporting efforts to assess coastal risks and guide future protection measures. Ongoing updates to datasets will extend to not only consider engineered hard structures but also include datasets of nature-based coastal protection (e.g., restored reefs and coastal vegetation).

Earthquake Hazard Zones are used in conjunction with the Building Code of Australia for use with the design of domestic structures in accordance with Appendix A Domestic Structures (Housing) of AS 1170.4.

A wall map showing Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction depicting Australia's extended continental shelf approved by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in April 2008 on a blue Etopo2 background (seabed) and land imagery from NASA - Blue Marble. Updated in March 2020 to reflect the 2018 Australia - Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty. This map is indicative only of the location of the territorial sea baselines and the outer limits of Australia's maritime zones, and should NOT be used as a definitive source of information. Some limits may be subject to change.

South Australian Heritage Council Annual Report Data

Spatial representation of Department of Transport (DoT) (WA) assets and other significant coastal infrastructure. The Polygons feature class contains coastal protection structures (seawalls, groynes, breakwaters), structures that facilitate access to the coast (car parks, wharves, jetties, boardwalks, boat ramps and associated amenity buildings). Dataset is limited to DoT assets and significant structures identifiable on currently available imagery.This dataset is currently not available for sownload, however it may be viewed via WMS at the following link:https://mapsengine.google.com/09372590152434720789-09543935511296329702-4/mapview/?authuser=0
