Subject: This thesis explores the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for storm surge hazard risk management. Two case studies, Cairns and Mackay in Far-North Queensland, are used. The thesis examines spatial data requirements and assesses existing software and hardware infrastructures in Queensland local governments. The aim is to develop a risk modelling methodology that can be adopted by other local governments with a storm surge risk. The thesis also examines the development of digital elevation models (DEMs) for coastal communities in Australia
