Brisbane Citywide Overland Flow Flood Study Blunder Sub-Model

Brisbane City Council's Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path Mapping Flood Study includes this Blunder Sub-Model, one of 27 sub-models covering the entire council area. The study provides results data for flood height, depth, and hazard for storm events with recurrence intervals from 2 to 2000 years. The dataset contains reports, metadata, and results data used to inform flood risk management policy.

Use Cases

• Assessing flood hazard (depth x velocity) for specific locations based on the 27 sub-model structure.
• Informing land-use planning and development policy using flood height and depth data for various storm recurrence intervals.
• Calibrating or validating other hydrological models with the technical data and metadata from this council study.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Brisbane City Council area through a series of 27 individual sub-models.
• Provides results for eight distinct storm event recurrence intervals, from 2 to 2000 years.
• Includes a detailed map showing the 27 sub-models and a comprehensive flood study report for context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, being specific to Brisbane.
