New regulations regarding coastal defense are set to become mandatory for landowners in 2028. These rules follow recent legislation making landowners responsible for protecting their coastal properties from rising sea levels. The code of practice details how landowners can implement necessary protection measures. This initiative aims to proactively address the increasing threat of coastal erosion and flooding. Parliament approved the laws earlier this year, establishing a legal framework for landowner responsibility. The new code provides guidance on compliant strategies and prepares for anticipated sea level changes. Implementation will be overseen to ensure effective coastal protection across affected areas.
