Greater flood impact predicted with sea level rise

New flood level predictions have shown a greater impact of sea level rise on the Peninsula than previously expected.

They show much greater flooding at a 0.74m sea level rise in the year 2100, 16cm less than the Council figure of 0.9m.

They also show a 15 per cent probability that sea level rise will be 2.7m or greater.
