Brisbane Citywide Flood Study: Upper Oxley Sub-Model Data and Reports

Brisbane City Council's flood study provides technical data for managing flood risk across the city. The dataset contains reports, metadata, and results data for flood height, depth, and hazard for 2 to 2000-year storm events, covering the Upper Oxley sub-model area. It is part of a larger study comprising 27 individual sub-models for the entire Brisbane City Council area.

Use Cases

• Modeling flood risk for property development based on flood height and depth data for different storm frequencies.
• Informing flood policy and emergency management based on technical floodplain condition scenarios.
• Identifying overland flow paths for infrastructure planning based on the creek and overland flow path mapping.

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 both raw modelling data and final results data for flood height, depth, and hazard.

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 the Brisbane City Council area.
