Brisbane Coastal Flood Study Reports And Modeling Metadata

Brisbane City Council's Coastal Flood Study provides technical reports and metadata for flood modeling and risk management. The dataset includes linked PDF reports from April 2015 and metadata detailing the data used for storm tide and coastal flood analysis. It is authored by the Council's open data team and updated in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze storm tide and coastal flood modeling metadata to inform flood risk policy development
• Reference the linked Coastal Flood Study PDF reports for specifics on study methodology and geographic coverage
• Use flood study metadata to support the creation or validation of flood maps for the Brisbane area

Strengths

• Includes authoritative technical reports (Volume 1 and 2) from the April 2015 flood study
• Managed and updated by the Brisbane City Council, the primary local government authority
• Explicitly focuses on coastal flooding and storm tide risks, a specific flood hazard type

Limitations

• Core data (rows, columns, sample) and file size are unknown, limiting analytical readiness
• Primary data formats are HTML and PDF reports, not structured tabular data for direct analysis
• The underlying flood modeling datasets are referenced via metadata but not directly included
