Brisbane Flood Awareness Areas Identified for Review

June 2013 dataset identifies areas within the Brisbane City Council local government area where Flood Awareness Mapping requires review or further investigation. The data contributes to the council's overall flood awareness mapping program.

Use Cases

• Prioritize review of Flood Awareness Mapping for specific Areas For Review to update flood risk assessments.
• Cross-reference Areas For Review with Flood Likelihood and Flood Impact tags to target high-priority investigations.
• Integrate Areas For Review with other flood hazard layers like Creek Flood or Overland Flow Flood for composite risk analysis.

Strengths

• Data is specifically focused on areas flagged for review, providing a clear action list for flood mapping updates.
• Includes multiple specific flood-related tags such as Flood Likelihood, Flood Impact, Creek Flood, and Overland Flow Flood for context.
• Managed and published by the authoritative Brisbane City Council local government.

Limitations

• No sample data or column schema is provided, limiting understanding of the data's structure and attributes.
• The dataset's core spatial definitions were created in 2013 and may not reflect current land use or hydrological conditions.
• Available only in HTML format, which is not ideal for direct programmatic analysis or integration with GIS tools.
