Upper Bulimba Flood Model Data for 8 Storm Scenarios

27 sub-models cover the entire Brisbane City Council area. This dataset provides flood height, depth, and hazard results for the Upper Bulimba sub-model across 2 to 2000-year storm recurrence intervals. It was produced by Brisbane City Council as part of a citywide flood study.

Use Cases

• Model flood hazard (depth x velocity) for specific locations within the Upper Bulimba catchment across 8 storm recurrence intervals.
• Analyze flood height and depth results for the 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 2000-year Average Recurrence Interval storm events.
• Compare floodplain condition scenarios for the existing environment using the study's technical data.
• Integrate sub-model results with the broader citywide flood study comprising 27 individual catchment models.

Strengths

• Covers 8 distinct storm recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000-year ARI).
• Part of a comprehensive citywide study consisting of 27 individual sub-models.
• Provides three key flood result metrics: height, depth, and hazard.

Limitations

• Data format is HTML, which is not ideal for direct programmatic analysis and requires extraction.
• Specific row counts, column structures, and file sizes for the underlying model data are not provided.
• Requires consulting a separate reference dataset and report for full methodological and geographic context.
