Why has a planning period to the year of 2100 been proposed?
A planning horizon of 2100 has been established for the coastal hazard policies to address the long-term nature of development rights in Queensland. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (2007) provides sea-level rise projections up to 2100 based on a range of emissions scenarios. The State Planning Policy for Coastal Protection indicates that the climate change factors of a 0.8 m sea-level rise and 10 per cent increase in the maximum cyclone intensity will be reviewed when either a new assessment report by the IPCC is released or an Australia-wide agreed policy is developed. The IPCC is expected to release its Fifth Assessment Report, including revised sea-level rise trends, in 2014.
