The Coastal Cliff Risk Score datasets evaluate the likelihood and consequence of cliff instability to support risk management in areas with coastal cliffs. This includes the classification of risk across the determined timeframes and climate change scenarios.

The dataset provides a second-pass, regional assessment providing a top-down coastal compartment view of risk which. The outputs of second-pass risk assessments can be used to support discussion among stakeholders regarding coastal erosion and instability risks, broader climate change risks and the development of adaptation pathways within Victoria’s coastal compartments. However, it should be noted that this assessment has been undertaken at a high level (regional/state-wide scale) and is not appropriate for local scale planning. The data from this assessment may be superseded by local scale and site-specific assessments undertaken by a suitably qualified and experienced practitioner. The assessment is based on available data, tools and understanding of coastal processes.

The product is recommended for use at the statewide / regional scale along the Victorian coastline. Application of the data should be guided by the accompanying Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment, Stage 2a technical report (Tonkin & Taylor 2025) read in conjunction with the Stage 1 technical report, combined with appropriate expert advice. The product is not suitable for individual property scale assessments.

Further information is contained in the study report "Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment, Stage 2a technical report", Tonkin & Taylor 2025.
