Brisbane Coastal Hazard Overlay: Storm-Tide Inundation Areas

Brisbane City Council's City Plan 2014 includes a coastal hazard overlay map for storm-tide inundation. The dataset delineates high and medium storm-tide inundation area sub-categories for the city. It is maintained by the Brisbane City Council and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess property development risk based on designated high and medium storm-tide inundation areas.
• Model coastal flood scenarios based on the defined hazard overlay sub-categories.
• Inform land-use planning decisions based on the Brisbane City Plan 2014 coastal hazard provisions.

Strengths

• Data is officially maintained and updated by the Brisbane City Council.
• Specific hazard sub-categories (high and medium storm-tide inundation) are defined.
• Linked to the formal Brisbane City Plan 2014 planning document.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified despite the 2026 update date.
