Flood Study: Citywide Overland Flow Model for Brisbane's Tingalpa Res East

27 individual sub-models cover the entire Brisbane City Council area. The dataset contains reports, data, metadata, and results for existing floodplain condition scenarios from the Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path Mapping Flood Study. Brisbane City Council produced this data to help manage flood risk, with results available for storm events ranging from 2 to 2000 year Average Recurrence Intervals.

Use Cases

• Assess flood hazard (depth x velocity) for specific locations based on the 8 defined storm event scenarios.
• Inform land-use policy and development controls using the technical flood height and depth data.
• Model overland flow paths within the Tingalpa Res East catchment area for emergency management planning.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Brisbane City Council area through a series of 27 sub-models.
• Provides results for 8 distinct storm event frequencies, from 2 to 2000 year Average Recurrence Intervals.
• Includes accompanying study reports and metadata, which likely aids in data interpretation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, being specific to Brisbane.
