Rising sea levels and Australia's coastal urban communities

With the prospect of rising sea levels across the World in the next ten to twenty years and 85% of Australians living on the coastal fringe of the Continent, the maps released by the Federal Department of Climate Change and OzCoasts makes interesting scrutiny. For most locations and the State capitals, rising sea levels have only a modest impact, but for reclaimed land and waterfront developments on artificially created landmass, the situation is very different with water inundation almost impossible to prevent.
