Brisbane Citywide Overland Flow Flood Study with 27 Sub-Models

Brisbane City Council provides flood study reference files for the entire city area. The study comprises 27 individual sub-models, with results for flood height, depth, and hazard across eight storm event frequencies from 2 to 2000 years. The dataset includes a detailed report, metadata, and a map to identify sub-models for specific locations.

Use Cases

• Assess flood risk for property development based on flood height and depth data for different storm frequencies.
• Inform local flood policy and management strategies based on the technical data from the 27 sub-models.
• Identify the specific flood sub-model for a location of interest using the provided detailed map.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Brisbane City Council area through 27 individual sub-models.
• Provides results for eight distinct storm event frequencies, from 2-year to 2000-year Average Recurrence Intervals.
• Includes a detailed report and map for context and sub-model identification.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data freshness should be verified as the last update is listed as 2026-06-28.
