The sea levels are rising by [2.8 to 3.6] mm per year and thats the peek numbers, it's been between 0.8 mm 1.8 mm/yr for the past 10 years. Do the math yourself how long that takes to equal a mater and how asinine it is to say it can jump to 1.3 meters in 50 years. Sea leave rise would have to start jumping at 20 mm a year 10 years ago to meat that projection
the real projected sea level rise by 2100 is (30–120 cm).
And some land massive aren't going to experience much of a sea level rise because the the ice caps are weighing down the tectonic plates and as they melt that pressure is being relieved and the landmass is going to rise, places like Ice land wont see a sea level rise ever.

" The big outstanding question — and the one that’s most relevant to people living along the coasts — is just how long it could take sea levels to rise to such great heights. The process isn’t linear. It’s currently accelerating and that trend is expected to continue. Dutton said her group is working on new techniques to better define the rates of rise, but other efforts have shown tipping points could cause sudden, rapid rises faster than previous estimates. "
Not much ice in Iceland and Greenland isn't very green. Flown over both of them and had a nice 17 day holiday in Iceland.

Sea level rise will be considered by developers in the core but areas from Woodside to the south are at risk sooner than other places. The shoreline outside the core should be barred from development in the areas identified by BIO.
Blanche in 1975 was memorable, waves washing over the Imperial Oil docks and an oil rig breaking loose at the shipyard before grounding at Shannon Park. And that was a mild storm.
