1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background AECOM have been engaged by the Glenelg Shire Council to undertake a coastal engineering assessment of the shoreline adjacent to the proposed development site at Narrawong. The coastal engineering assessment will include investigations of threats from coastal erosion, coastal inundation, and sea level rise due to climate change. The results of the study were used in the preparation of expert evidence for the Planning Panel Advisory Committee for East Street, Narrawong (AECOM, 2011).

2.0 The Site The study site is located at East Street in Narrawong. Figures1 and 2 show the planning zones and overlays for the site (shown on these figures as the red dotted line labelled ‘Study Area’). The site is currently in the Township Zone (TZ) with an Environmental Significance Overlay (ES04).

The site is located adjacent to the Surry River, approximately 15 km east of Portland. The site is bounded by Portland Bay to the south, Surry River to the west and the Surry River floodplain on the northern boundary. The site is approximately 100 m inland of the current coastline.

Figure 3 shows the ground surface elevation on and around the site. This shows that the northern portion of the site has an elevation of less than 2 m AHD, with the highest elevation on the southern boundary of the site being 8 m AHD.

2.1 Previous Investigations Several previous investigations have been undertaken on the coastal vulnerability of the site. The following references were used in the preparation of this report:

- Coastal Vulnerability Assessment – Lot 18 The Esplanade, Narrawong (Water Technology, 2009)

- Addendum to the Coastal Vulnerability Assessment to address issues discussed with Geoff Brooks, DSE Geelong (Water Technology, September 2010)

- Report on Coastal and Catchment Flooding Issues Associated with the Proposed Dwelling at Lot 18 The Esplanade, Narrawong (Dr Andrew Duncan McCowan, October 2010)

- Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, Printz v Glenelg SC (2010) VCAT 1975 (10 December 2010)

2.2 Climate Change Average temperatures in Australia are expected to rise this century due to elevated atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. This change in temperature is expected to affect a range of other climate variables. The key climate variables that are likely to affect the risk of erosion or inundation of the site include increased rainfall intensity and sea level rise.

Emission scenarios are estimates of the future of greenhouse gases that may be released into the atmosphere. These are based on assumptions about future demographic changes, and the implementation and efficiency of energy policies.

The A1FI scenario is representative of “Rapid economic growth, a global population that peaks mid 21st Century and rapid introduction of new technologies” with “Intensive reliance on fossil fuel energy resources”. This scenario has been adopted for the current investigations.

The Victorian Coastal Strategy recommends implementing a policy of planning for sea level rise of not less than 0.8 metres by 2100. This allowance is consistent with Hunter’s (2009) upper limit of 81.9 cm for the A1FI scenario by 2100. Based on this, the following sea level rise projections have been used:

- 2030 – increase of 0.15 m

- 2070 – increase of 0.47 m

- 2100 – increase of 0.82 m.

AECOM (2010) recommended an increase in rainfall intensity of 43.2% for the 100 year ARI, 24 hour duration flood event, for 2100. This has been used for the modelling results included in this investigation.

The Victorian Coastal Strategy (2008) recommends that the precautionary principal be applied to planning and management decision-making when considering the risks associated with climate change. The definition of the precautionary principal (as provided in the Victorian Coastal Strategy, 2008) is as follows:

”it is a fundamental component of the concept of ecologically sustainable development (ESD) and has been defined in Principal 15 of the Rio Declaration (1992) United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, Rio, 1992 (the “Rio Declaration”):

“Where there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation.”

The Precautionary approach has been defined by the Department of Planning and Community Development (http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/41727/Coastal_hazards_and_climate_change.pdf) as

“an accepted principal in coastal decision making. It requires decision makers to act having regard to the best available science, knowledge and understanding of the consequences of decisions and in the context of increasing uncertainty, to make decisions that minimise adverse impacts on current and future generations and the environment.”

2.3 Coastal Processes The site is located in close proximity to the coastline and is subject to coastal processes such as:

- Long-term and short-term coastal erosion

- Coastal inundation

- Influence of sea level rise

- Estuarine and riverine flooding

Coastal modelling was undertaken to assess the above phenomena and to assess the potential impacts on the site. The results of the investigation are described in detail in Section 3.

3.0 Processes Impacting the Study Site

3.1 Long-term Coastal Erosion Long term coastal erosion refers to historical changes in the shoreline position where the shoreline is receding landward over time. It is primarily due to longshore transport including impacts of construction activities along the coast and to a lesser extent, from impacts of severe storms. The longshore transport is the movement of sand parallel to the shore. This can be either erosion or deposition of sand from coastal processes such as tides, waves or currents.

There are several methods of determining the potential longshore transport volumes and recession rates. For this investigation, the following two methods were employed:

- Sediment transport modelling using LITDRIFT

- Aerial photography

The first method consisted of using a well-known software program called LITDRIFT developed by the Danish Hydraulic Institute. This program is used to determine the longshore transport volumes based on the beach profile, wave parameters, bottom friction and sediment properties. The output from LITDRIFTs is an annual volume of sediment transport. This is the volume of sand that the waves can transport along a beach when sand is available to be transported. To determine the rate of recession of the coast line, a full sediment budget is required. When the rate of potential longshore transport increases in the direction of transport, erosion occurs. Conversely, when the rate of potential transport decreases in the direction of transport, then accretion occurs.

The second method of determining long term coastal erosion is to analyse historical aerial photography to determine the changes in shoreline position over time. This can be used to determine a yearly rate of coastal recession (or accretion).

3.1.1 LITDRIFT

The sediment transport model, LITDRIFT is a one-dimensional model that computes the cross-shore distribution of the long shore current, wave height and set-up for a particular coastal profile by solving the long and shore momentum balance equations. Waves can be specified as regular/irregular, unidirectional/directional. Wave input can consist of a single wave condition, time-series of wave conditions or an annual wave climate where the duration of wave incidence is given as a fraction of a year.

The longshore transport potential at the two study sites was determined using LITDRIFT. The model inputs consisted of:

- Cross-shore beach profile

- Annual wave climate (wave height, wave direction and wave period)

- Orientation of the shoreline

Bathymetry for the cross-sectional beach profiles at the two study locations (Figure 4) was extracted from the digital elevation model (DEM). The DEM has been developed by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) using LiDAR survey data. The surveys were undertaken between November 2008 and April 2009. The vertical resolution of the bathymetric data is ± 0.50 m (95% confidence level) and the horizontal resolution has an accuracy of ± 3.17 m (95% confidence level). A grid size of 5 m was used to define the coastal profile. All longshore computations were undertaken at mean sea level. The shore-normal i.e. the angle (relative to north) perpendicular to the shoreline was determined by measuring the angle using the shoreline extracted from the DEM. The shore-normal at Sections 1 and 2 were 167 and 170 deg respectively.

For the model input, the annual wave climate has been expressed in terms of duration of various wave heights computed from the percentage occurrence obtained from the wave modeling (AECOM, 2010). The wave modeling shows that the 90-95% of the waves approach the study area from the south-south east. Hence a single averaged wave direction for each location was used as input to the model. The percentage occurrence of significant wave heights and their exceedance probability at the two study locations are presented in Figure 5.

Longshore transport calculations for the study site indicate that there is the potential to transport between 200,000 m3 and 250,000 m3 of sediment per year, from the west to the east. Results from AECOM (2010) indicate that the

AECOM Narrawong Coastal Engineering Study -

potential longshore transport rate on the western bank of the Surry River was in the order of 370,000 m3 per year which is significantly greater than the potential transport of 250,000 m3 at the study site. The reduction of the potential for transport from west to east (the direction of the longshore transport) is indicative of accretion. Observations of accretion have been confirmed at the study site by analysis of historical aerial photographs. However, the sediment transport processes are complex due to the Surry River entering the beach system.

3.1.2 Aerial Photography

Historical changes in the position of shoreline indicate where the coast is receding and where it is accreting. Analysis of aerial photographs where the shoreline is identified by means of cliff lines, water line or vegetation line provides a good indication of shoreline movements over the past several years. The shoreline for different years was digitized from the aerial photographs and overlaid on the site plan using GIS.

For the current study, aerial photographs of 1960; 1972; 1985; and 2009 were geo-referenced into the GIS and analysed. The shoreline was identified as the vegetation line for all photographs except 2009 where LIDAR data was available. In this case, the +2m AHD contour was taken as representative of the shoreline. The shoreline positions at different years were determined and are presented in Table 1. The extracted shorelines from different years are shown in Figure 6.

The analysis indicates that there has been accretion (accumulation of sand) on the beach over the past fifty years. Based on the information shown in Figure 6, the long term coastal accretion is estimated to be in the order of 0.2 m to 0.8 m per year.

Table 12 Estimates of shoreline changes from aerial photography.

Time period Shoreline change (m)

2009-1985 +0.20 m (accretion)

2009-1972 +0.80 m (accretion)

2009-1960 +0.24 m (accretion)

3.2 Short-term Coastal Erosion Short term coastal erosion is the vertical erosion of the beach profile and the horizontal recession of the coastline that occurs during a storm event that lasts for a short duration of generally two to five days. During a large storm event, sand can be moved from the beach, to deeper water. Over time, the beach profile generally returns to the original configuration.

SBEACH was used to determine the recession due to short term coastal erosion. Two terrain profiles were extracted from the survey data provided by the Glenelg Shire Council (a combination of LIDAR data representing the surface elevation above the water level, and bathymetric survey data representing the elevation of the sea bed). Figure 4 shows the location of these two profiles.

SBEACH is an empirical based program that calculates the net cross-shore sand transport rate in four zones from the dune or beach face, through the surf zone and into the offshore past the deepest break-point bar produced by short period incident waves. The wave model is relatively sophisticated and computes shoaling, refraction, breaking, breaking wave re-formation, wave and wind induced set-up and set-down and run-up.

The SBEACH model was set-up using the profile data from the 2009 DEM. A median grain size of 0.2 m based on previous studies (AECOM, 2010) was adopted for both beach profiles. Time-series of water levels, wave height, period and direction and wind speed and direction were input to determine their impact on the current beach profiles. The 100-year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) storm event was used. Table 2 shows the parameters used in this modelling. These were determined based on SWAN modelling and analysis of recorded water levels.

* Hs is the significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest one-third of the waves for the stated interval of time.

Figures 7 and 8 show the results of the SBEACH modelling (changes in beach profile, occurrence of maximum wave height and the maximum surface elevation plus wave set-up) for Section 1 and Section 2 respectively. The red line in the plots represents the initial beach profile while the final beach profile at the end of the modelled storm duration is represented by the brown line. The maximum water surface elevation including wave set-up during the storm duration along the profile is shown by the green line. The maximum wave height during the storm duration is represented by the light blue line.

These results indicate that there is a 3 m recession at a beach elevation of 3.5 m during a large storm event at Section 1 while the beach recedes by 2 m at 3.5 m elevation at Section 2 during a 100-year ARI storm event. As the sand gets moved around along the beach profile by the storm waves, the steeper parts of the beach profile are eroded while there is accretion on the more flatter parts of the beach profile above 0 to1 m AHD.

3.3 Recession due to Sea Level Rise An increase in sea level can have two main impacts on the coastline, one being increased inundation (due to higher sea levels) the other, erosion of unconsolidated (soft) sands. Bruun (1962, 1983) hypothesised that the beach assumed a profile that was in equilibrium with the incoming wave energy, therefore, a rise in sea level would cause the profile to adjust.

The Bruun Rule equation is given by:

=S

(h + B)/L where:

R = shoreline recession due to sea level rise;

S = sea level rise (m)

h = depth of closure

B = berm height; and

L = length of the active zone.

Utilising Bruun’s Rule, it is possible to determine the potential erosion due to sea level rise. This takes into consideration the magnitude of the sea level rise and the profile of the beach. The two sections shown in Figure 4 were used for this calculation.

The depth of closure (depth over which there is significant sediment movement) was determined to be 7.9 m at Section 1 and 7.0 m at Section 2. The length of the active profile is 320 m at Section 1 and 350 m at Section 2.

The coastal recession from Bruun’s Rule at the two locations for various sea level rise scenarios is shown in Table 3.

3.4 Coastal Inundation (due to storm tide) The Victorian Coastal Strategy (2008) describes the impacts of tides, storm surge and wave processes on sea level. The term ‘storm tide’ can be used to represent the sea level, with the following components:

- Astronomical tide;

- Storm surge;

- Wave setup; and

- Wave run-up.

Based on the SBEACH modelling, the 100-year ARI storm tide level was determined for the site. Table 4 shows the 100-year ARI storm tide level at the study area under various climate change scenarios.

Table 15 100 year ARI storm level

Year Sea level rise

100 year ARI storm tide level (including sea level rise)

100-year maximum surface elevation (including sea level rise and wave effects)

(m) (m AHD) (m AHD)

2010 0.00 1.10 2.75 2030 0.15 1.25 2.90 2070 0.47 1.57 3.22 2100 0.82 1.92 3.57 2100* 1.20 2.30 3.95 * 2100 scenario with sea level rise of 1.2 m has been used for sensitivity testing.

Due to the proximity of the site to the entrance of the Surry River, it has been assumed (for the purpose of this investigation) that the storm tide level will be translated to the wetlands inside the entrance. The maximum surface elevation in the extreme right-hand column includes the wave set-up at Section 1 of the study site. The 100-year wave height combined with the 100-year storm tide results in the maximum surface elevation which is1.65 m higher than the 100-year storm tide level. The persistence of this high water level will be dependent on the persistence of the extreme high storm wave heights of 6.8 m. If wave heights of greater than 6 m persist for more than the time required for the water to travel upstream through the entrance channel, then there is a likelihood of the low-lying flood-plain and the site getting completely inundated. If the high waves do not persist,

Page 13: Narrawong Coastal Engineering StudyAECOM Narrawong Coastal Engineering Study - C:\MCollett\Projects\Glenelg Expert Evidence\final report\Narrawong Coastal Eng Final Report.docx Revision

then the high tidal flow will travel upstream and there is a strong likelihood of the site getting inundated by the 2.3 m storm tide in the year 2100.

3.5 Estuarine Inundation (due to river flooding) Flooding of the Surry River could also impact on the site. Hydrologic and hydraulic modelling was undertaken during a previous investigation (AECOM, 2010). The 100 year ARI flood event was simulated.

The hydraulic model was run for the 100 year ARI flood event, for two scenarios, the first representing 2010 climate conditions, the second representing the 2100 climate conditions. Based on AECOM (2010), the inflow hydrographs were increased by 43.2%, for the 2100 climate change scenario.

Table 5 shows the different modelling parameters used for these scenarios.

Table 16 Hydraulic model parameters

Scenario Total Inflow Downstream water level (m3/s) (m AHD)

2010 83 1.1 2100 119 1.9

Figures 9 and 10 show the 100 year ARI flood depths for the 2010 and 2100 climate change scenarios respectively. Figures 11 and 12 show the predicted 100 year ARI water surface elevations for the 2010 and 2100 climate change scenarios respectively. Figures 13 and 14 show the predicted flood hazard for the 100 year ARI events for the 2010 and 2100 climate change scenarios respectively.

Table 6 shows the categories used for the flood hazard calculations (based on Melbourne Water Guidelines, 2009).

Table 17 Flood hazard ratings

Hazard rating Velocity x depth Flood depth (m2/s) (m)

Low <0.2 <0.2 Low-Moderate 0.2 to 0.4 0.2 to 0.4 Moderate 0.4 to 0.6 0.4 to 0.6 Moderate – High 0.6 to 0.84 0.6 to 0.84 High >0.84 >0.84

Figure 13 shows that the flood hazard can be categorised as being ‘moderate to high’ for most of the site that is inundated during a 100-year ARI flood event under existing conditions.

3.6 Closing of the entrance The Surry River mouth is regularly blocked by sand, due to the high rate of longshore transport and low river flows during certain times of the year. This means that the water from the catchment is trapped behind the sand berm, and cannot flow out. The water level will build up behind this berm until the berm is breached. The berm could be breached by several mechanisms:

- High river flows;

- Coastal process during a severe storm; or

- Artificial breaching.

An assessment of the recorded water level data provided by the GHCMA, shows that the entrance was blocked for approximately 55% of the time of record (03/10/2006 to 09/03/2010). The highest recorded water levels during this period of record were:

- 09/06/2009 – 1.62 mAHD

- 02/07/2008 – 1.61 mAHD

- 02/06/2007 – 1.57 mAHD

Figure 15 shows the extent of inundation for a water level of 1.62 m AHD, which represents the highest recorded water level for the period of record. Figure 16 also shows the potential extent of inundation for 2030, 2070 and 2100. The elevation for these events was set to 1.62 m AHD plus the appropriate sea level rise.

Unlike the coastal inundation or estuarine inundation, inundation due to closure of the entrance could last for weeks if not months. In 2006/2007, the entrance was closed for a period of over six months. This could have the following adverse impacts on the site:

- Site access may be reduced.

- The portion of site inundated will become water logged, which may have an impact on the vegetation on the site.

- Any assets within the area inundated may have a reduced lifespan due to permanent inundation.

- The performance of septic tanks in the area may be compromised.

With less regular rainfall and more extreme coastal conditions expected due to climate change, it is anticipated that the closure of the entrance will occur more regularly in the future.

3.7 Groundwater There are a number of groundwater bores located adjacent to the site (refer to Figure 16). It is assumed that most of these bores are for residential purposes (potable supply of drinking water).

As the site is located close to the coast line, the current ground water level is expected to be around mean sea level (mAHD). Any increase in sea level due to climate change will be reflected as a similar increase in groundwater levels. The quality of the groundwater (salinity in particular) may also decrease as sea levels rise.

3.8 Geology In addition to the impacts on coastal erosion and inundation, climate change could have the following impacts on the geology of the site.

Wind speed and direction

Any increase in wind speed may lead to an increase in the rate of sediment transport and dune migration. A decrease is estimated to reduce the rate of sediment transport. A change in the dominant wind direction may also lead to a change in the alignment of the dunes.

Precipitation

Changes in rainfall patterns would impact on the vegetation on site. Less regular rainfall may lead to loss of some of the vegetation which stabilise the dunes. This may lead to erosion of the dune system.

Temperature

An increase in temperature may exacerbate the potential for additional weathering processes to occur, i.e. thermal expansion of materials. It may also lead to a change in vegetation type which may lead to a change in the erosion potential for the site.

4.0 Risk Assessment

4.1 Risk Assessment Criteria The following risk assessment criteria have been applied to this investigation. Note that this has been customised to address the potential for each risk to occur within the timeframes specified in the technical investigations (current, 2030, 2070 and 2100), and the impacts of each risk on the site and functionality of the site.

5.0 Conclusions A summary of results from the coastal modelling investigations is presented in Table 11.

Table 22 Coastal inundation and recession due to sea level rise and storm events

Year Sea level rise (SLR)

Coastal Inundation 100-year maximum surface elevation (including SLR)

Coastal recession due to SLR at Section 1

Coastal recession due to SLR at Section 2

(m) (m AHD) (m) (m) 2030 0.15 2.90 4 5 2070 0.47 3.22 13 15 2100 0.82 3.57 22 26 2100* 1.20 3.95 32 38 * 2100 scenario with sea level rise of 1.2 m has been used for sensitivity testing.

Figure 17 shows the risk of inundation and erosion for the year 2100. The coastal recession due to long-term sea level rise at 2100 is estimated to be 38m while the recession due to short-term storm erosion is on the order of 2-3 m providing a total of approximately 40 m recession. Since the study area is located at a distance of approximately 100 m from the shoreline, the impacts of coastal erosion are relatively low compared with those of estuarine inundation.

However, the risk of coastal inundation (due to storm tide and sea level rise) increases from medium in the current conditions, to high in 2100, due to sea level rise. A significant portion of the site could be inundated during a100 year ARI off-shore storm event.

There is an extreme risk of the site being inundated by a 100 year ARI Surry River flood event under the current climate conditions. Whilst this flood event occurs on average once every one hundred years, the flood hazard plots show that there is high hazard over much of the site for this event. Development in areas subject to inundation by the 100 year ARI flood event should be managed accordingly. Access to the site needs to be above the 100 year ARI flood level.

There is an extreme risk of the site being inundated due to closure of the entrance to the Surry River under the current climate conditions. During the period from October 2006 to March 2010, the entrance was closed approximately 55% of the time. The maximum water level in the Surry River floodplain reached 1.62 mAHD during this time. A portion of the site would be inundated at this water level. During 2006 / 2007, the entrance was closed for a period of over six months. Inundation of site for this portion of time would severely restrict the use and development potential of the land.
