Princess Royal Harbour Coastal Hazard Risk Management Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP)
The City of Albany in conjunction with the community, the State Government and Southern Ports, is developing a draft Coastal Hazard Risk Management Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP).
The draft CHRMAP aims to increase knowledge and understanding of coastal hazard risks pertaining to the Princess Royal Harbour and to identify risk management and adaptation measures for implementation.
The final draft CHRMAP documents will be available in two formats:
Draft recommendations for managing coastal processes associated with the Princess Royal Harbour into the future may potentially include:
- Protecting potential erosion areas via sand nourishment.
- Protecting potential inundation areas via the development of levees
The CHRMAP will include funding mechanisms for proposed protection works, that are calculated based on the beneficiary pays principle.
Beneficiaries for the project area are likely to include:
- State government agencies
- Business and Industry
- Private landholders
- Local community
- Broader community
CHRMAP background reports
The draft CHRMAP adheres to the Western Australian Planning Commission (2019) CHRMAP guidelines with scope and deliverables consistent with their objectives and the State Planning Policy 2.6 – Coastal Planning (SPP2.6).
The CHRMAP project area was broken into five (5) Management Unit (MU) areas. Assessment and recommendations were made for each MU area. Detailed implementation recommendations for each MU are presented at Table 8-5 of the Technical CHRMAP.
To ensure concerns and aspirations are understood and considered, City of Albany Officers are available to explain the CHRMAP and to answer questions on the project (phone 6820 3050, email [email protected]).
