This report details the outcomes of a 3.5 year Australian Research Council Linkage Grant (2010-2013) titled 'Equitable Outcomes in Adaptation to Sea-Level Rise'. The project was based in the Gippsland East area of the state of Victoria Australia. Project partners included The East Gippsland Shire Council, The Department of Environment and Primary Industries, The Department of Planning Transport and Local Infrastructure, The Gippsland Coastal Board and Wellington Shire Council. This project developed an approach for identifying the social outcomes of various strategies to adapt to sea-level rise, and trialed the concept of an ‘adaptation pathway’ that can help communities and governments to take steps to manage the risks of sea-level rise.
