Will this study affect development in coastal areas?

It is acknowledged that some new development in identified coastal hazard areas can provide benefits and value to the community, depending on the type of land use proposed and the way that it is designed.

This project will help to identify the types of land uses that are appropriate to establish within the coastal areas, depending on the level of coastal hazard risk.
