Brisbane Citywide Overland Flow Flood Study for Lower Bulimba

Brisbane City Council's Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path Mapping Flood Study comprises 27 sub-models covering the entire council area. The Lower Bulimba sub-model contains reports, metadata, and results data for flood height, depth, and hazard across multiple storm recurrence intervals. This dataset was last updated on 2026-06-28.

Use Cases

• Assess flood risk for properties based on flood height and depth data for different storm events.
• Inform urban development policy using technical floodplain condition scenarios.
• Model overland flow paths for catchment management based on the study's mapping.
• Identify flood hazard (depth x velocity) for emergency planning in the Lower Bulimba area.

Strengths

• Covers 27 individual sub-models for the entire Brisbane City Council area.
• Provides results for 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 2000-year Average Recurrence Interval storm events.
• Includes a detailed map showing the 27 sub-models and a 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 the Brisbane City Council area.
