IS YOUR PROPERTY AT RISK FROM SEA LEVEL RISE?
“The (Australian) property market is predicted to have $571 billion wiped from it by 2030 as a result of climate change and extreme weather events if a business as usual approach is taken.”

Coastal Risk Specialists
OMCN specialise in coastal hazards such as storm surge, coastal flooding and coastal erosion and their associated risks which will increase with sea level rise. We provide our clients with high quality analysis of coastal risks in an easy to read report allowing them to make informed choices about their coastal property. Our reports include coastal erosion and coastal flood mapping which visually shows how these risks will evolve into the future.
We offer a wide range of coastal engineering services aimed at reducing our clients exposure to coastal hazards. Our services go beyond risk identification and include coastal monitoring as well as advice on how to cost effectively protect your property from coastal erosion and flooding.

COASTAL RISK ASSESSMENTS
Concerned about your property’s vulnerability to sea level rise? Our Coastal Risk Assessments provide expert analysis on the risk of coastal flooding and coastal erosion to your home or investment. As sea levels rise coastal flooding and coastal erosion will become more prevalent, an OMCN coastal risk assessment provides you with a clear outline of how these risk will increase over time.
COASTAL PROTECTION PLANS
Want to protect your property from coastal flooding or beach erosion? As the sea level increases so too does the frequency and severity of significant storm events resulting in coastal flooding and coastal erosion. Our coastal protection plans provide advice on potential sea level rise management and protection options such as seawalls, groynes, dune revegetation and beach renourishment.
COASTAL HAZARD VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS
Looking to build or develop some coastal land and require a Coastal Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) from your local council? Our team has a wealth of experience producing Coastal Hazard Vulnerability Assessments across Victoria ensuring that our clients can mitigate flooding and erosion risks associated with sea level rise.
COASTAL MONITORING PROGRAMS
Coastal monitoring programs are becoming a necessity for coastal land managers looking to proactively manage their coast as the substantial impacts of climate change on sea levels and extreme weather events become better understood. The uncertainty surrounding the impacts of climate change and future rates of coastal recession makes coastal planning difficult. Quantifying changes in the coastal zone through a coastal monitoring program allows land managers to identify erosion issues and track their evolution over time providing adequate time to develop appropriate climate change adaptation solutions.
