Brisbane Citywide Overland Flow Flood Study for 8 Storm Event Scenarios

27 individual sub-models cover the entire Brisbane City Council area. This dataset contains reports, metadata, and results data for flood height, depth, and hazard for the 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 2000 year Average Recurrence Interval storm events. Brisbane City Council produced this flood study to help manage flood risk and inform policy.

Use Cases

• Model flood hazard (depth x velocity) based on the 8 different storm event scenarios mentioned in the description.
• Inform land-use policy and development controls based on the existing floodplain condition scenarios.
• Identify overland flow paths for specific locations using the 27 sub-model map referenced in the description.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Brisbane City Council area through 27 individual sub-models.
• Provides results for 8 distinct storm event scenarios, from 2-year to 2000-year recurrence intervals.
• Includes a detailed flood study report and metadata for understanding methodology and data provenance.

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.
