Summary
Subsequent to the submission of the coastal hazard vulnerability assessment required by the Tribunal in Myers v. South Gippsland Shire Council (No 1), which revealed that the proposed coastal residential lot would be inundated by flooding and storm surges by 2100, the Tribunal concluded that permission could not be granted for the proposal without a proper local policy or scheme in place to address the predicted issues.Case documents
