Brisbane Citywide Overland Flow Flood Study: Brookfield Sub-Model

A 2026 flood study sub-model from Brisbane City Council containing results for flood height, depth, and hazard. The data covers the Brookfield area for storm events with 2 to 2000 year Average Recurrence Intervals. It is part of a larger study comprising 27 sub-models that cover the entire Brisbane City Council area.

Use Cases

• Model flood hazard (depth x velocity) for specific locations based on the provided storm event scenarios.
• Inform land-use policy and development controls using the flood height and depth results.
• Assess flood risk for properties within the Brookfield catchment area using the sub-model data.

Strengths

• Covers 8 distinct storm event scenarios (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000 year ARI).
• Part of a citywide study with 27 integrated sub-models for comprehensive coverage.
• Includes a detailed study report and metadata for context on methodology.

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.
