Flood Height, Depth, and Hazard Data for Brisbane Creek Models

Flood study results for the Upper Oxley sub-model within Brisbane City Council's citywide analysis. The dataset contains flood height, depth, and hazard results for 8 different storm recurrence intervals. It is part of a larger study comprising 27 individual sub-models covering the entire council area, produced by Brisbane City Council.

Use Cases

• Model flood hazard (depth x velocity) for specific locations across 2 to 2000-year storm recurrence intervals.
• Analyze flood height and depth variations across the 8 defined Average Recurrence Interval storm events.
• Compare flood risk scenarios for the Upper Oxley sub-model against other sub-models in the 27-model study.
• Integrate flood height data with spatial planning tools for infrastructure resilience assessment.

Strengths

• Covers 8 distinct storm recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000-year ARI).
• Part of a systematic citywide study comprising 27 individual sub-models.
• Provides three key flood metrics: height, depth, and hazard.
• Data is directly linked to a detailed reference report and metadata for methodological clarity.

Limitations

• Data format is HTML, which is not ideal for direct quantitative analysis and requires extraction.
• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, making scope assessment difficult.
• Focus is on a single sub-model (Upper Oxley), requiring integration with other datasets for a full city view.
