Brookfield Sub-Model Flood Height and Hazard Data

Brisbane City Council provides flood study results for the Brookfield sub-model, one of 27 sub-models covering the entire council area. The dataset contains flood height, depth, and hazard results for storm events with recurrence intervals from 2 to 2000 years.

Use Cases

• Analyze flood height and depth data across 2 to 2000-year storm intervals for the Brookfield area.
• Calculate flood hazard (depth x velocity) to assess risk levels for different recurrence intervals.
• Compare floodplain condition scenarios using the sub-model's results data for existing conditions.

Strengths

• Covers 8 distinct storm recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000 years).
• Part of a citywide study comprising 27 individual sub-models for comprehensive coverage.
• Includes multiple flood metrics: height, depth, and hazard (depth x velocity).

Limitations

• Data format is HTML, which is not structured for direct programmatic analysis.
• Specific row counts, column names, and sample data are unavailable for review.
• Requires consulting a separate reference dataset and report for full study context.
