Upper Bulimba Flood Model: Overland Flow Paths and Hazard Data

27 individual sub-models cover the entire Brisbane City Council area for flood risk assessment. The dataset contains reports, metadata, and results data for flood height, depth, and hazard for storm events with 2 to 2000 year Average Recurrence Intervals. Brisbane City Council produced this flood study to inform policy and manage flood risk in local creek and overland flow catchments.

Use Cases

• Assessing flood hazard (depth x velocity) for specific locations based on the 27 sub-model structure
• Informing land-use policy and development controls using flood height and depth data for various storm recurrence intervals
• Validating or calibrating other hydrological models with the technical data and metadata from the council's flood study

Strengths

• Covers the entire Brisbane City Council area through 27 individual sub-models
• Provides results for 8 distinct storm event recurrence intervals, from 2 to 2000 years
• Includes accompanying study reports and metadata for context on the modelling process

Limitations

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