Is this your waterfront block? Mapping predicted sea level rise (3)
This is the advertised view from one NSW North Coast vacant building block selling for almost, but not quite, half a million dollars.
Notice the relative 'newness' of the canals and the nice soft, sandy shoreline.
This is exactly the type of land which is considered at risk in the Rudd Government's recent report Climate Change Risks to Australia's Coasts that contains a 1.1 metre predicted sea level rise as its worse case scenario for New South Wales over the next ninety years.
This is Google Earth mapping of a sea level rise in the same area of only 1 metre.
