mate change impacts that could be happening at a rapid pace, such as rising sea levels, measures needs

Explanation of elements and functions:

Natural attributes at risk due to sea level rise, inundation and coastal recession include the Anglesea
beach, Anglesea River and inlet, the cliffs, the wetlands and saltmarsh, Coogoorah Park, coastal vegetation, and parts of the Anglesea Heath. These natural attributes need to be protected to allow the
natural systems to be able to adapt to the impacts of sea level rise.

Forces of change that have an impact upon the natural attributes include:
• f ı - Sea level rise between 0.8 m - 1.4 m at incremental levels between 2030 and 2100, that will
result in permanent inundations;
• f 2 - Storm surges with increased wave heights, and overland flooding due to extreme weather events
that will result in periodic temporary inundations;
• f 3 - Recession of the coastline resulting in beach, foreshore and cliff erosion, as well as instability
of the soils; and
• f 4 - Saltwater intrusions in the freshwater ecosystems higher up in the Anglesea River catchment.

Key latent centres of the natural environment for Anglesea include the Anglesea River estuary and
inlet, the Coastal Reserve, Point Roadknight, cliffs and the beach, the Anglesea River, the Anglesea
Heath, the Point Addis Marine National Park, and the Coogoorah Park. These latent centres of natural
environment evolved over many thousands of years, and the values of these centres are at the heart of
the environmental and ecological existence of nature in the Anglesea region. Additionally, these natural attributes are key values that are the initiators for human settlement, visitors to the area, and destinations for holidaymakers.

Transformations specific to place, which include the 15 properties and form the wholeness applicable to the natural attributes for this regenerative- adaptive pattern, are:
• tsp 1 - Levels of Scale [AS-FP1]; includes the inherent connection of the habitats in the Anglesea
catchment to their hierarchy of natural environs. These consist of ecological systems commencing
from the beach and foreshore to the Anglesea River inlet, Anglesea River itself, the networks of
creeks and rivers including Marshall Creek and Salt Creek, the wetlands, the Anglesea Heathland,
Angahook Lorne State Park, and the Great Otway National Park;
• tsp 2 - Strong Centres [AS-FP2] that form part of the whole, supporting the larger River catchment
area, include deep connections of ecological functions comprising the Anglesea River estuary and
inlet, the Coastal Reserve, Marshall Creek and Salt Creek, the Anglesea Heathland, Angahook
Lorne State Park, and the Great Otway National Park;
• tsp 3 - Boundaries [AS-FP3] that strengthen the wholeness of centres; they include the boundary of
the Anglesea River, the wetland system at Coogoorah Park, the surrounding forests and heathland,
the Great Otway Ranges, the coastline and the ocean;
