Brisbane Citywide Overland Flow Flood Study Sub-Model for Stable Swamp

Brisbane City Council's flood study sub-model contains reports, metadata, and results data for the Stable Swamp area. The data includes flood height, depth, and hazard results for 2 to 2000-year storm events. This is one of 27 sub-models covering the entire Brisbane City Council area.

Use Cases

• Assess flood risk for properties based on flood height and depth data for different storm frequencies.
• Inform urban development policy using technical floodplain condition scenarios.
• Model flood hazard (depth x velocity) for emergency response planning in the Stable Swamp catchment.

Strengths

• Covers 8 distinct storm event frequencies, from 2 to 2000-year Average Recurrence Intervals.
• Part of a comprehensive citywide study comprising 27 individual sub-models.
• Includes associated study reports and metadata, providing context for the results data.

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.
