“…They also reflect the uncertain and unpredictable nature of coastal shorelines. However, the continuing appropriateness of these doctrines under climate change has been challenged by legal scholars (Bell 2014 ; Byrne 2012 ; Flournoy 2017 ; Michael 2018 ) and coastal experts (Victorian Environmental Assessment Council 2020 ). There are several arguments as to why the doctrines should not apply to climate change-induced sea level rise: the impacts of climate change are human-caused rather than natural, the impacts are predictable and can be estimated within a range of certainty, and climate change will remove the ‘give and take’ element as it is almost certain to result in a loss of land for the landward owner (Bell 2014 ; Byrne 2012 ; Flournoy 2017 ; Michael 2018 ).…”

However without legal reform or court challenge (Victorian Environmental Assessment Council 2020 ) to alter the status quo it seems likely that tidal boundaries will remain ambulatory in nature and therefore may be altered significantly with climate change.…”
