Sandy Creek Flood Study Reports and Metadata

Brisbane City Council provides the Sandy Creek Flood Study dataset containing reports, data, and metadata for existing and ultimate floodplain conditions. The dataset includes technical flood modelling data from 2023 to inform flood risk management policy for the Sandy Creek catchment.

Use Cases

• Analyze flood study metadata to understand the data sources and parameters used for flood modelling in the Sandy Creek catchment.
• Use linked flood study reports (Volume 1 and 2) to review the technical methodology and findings for existing and ultimate floodplain scenarios.
• Reference catchment area and creek centreline information to geographically contextualize the flood model outputs.

Strengths

• Includes two detailed technical reports (Volume 1 and 2 of the Sandy Creek Flood Study 2023) providing full methodological context.
• Metadata covers all dataset attachments and linked reports, offering traceability for flood modelling data.
• Produced by Brisbane City Council, an authoritative local government body responsible for flood risk management.

Limitations

• Core data rows, columns, and sample data are unavailable, limiting immediate analytical use without accessing linked files.
• Primary data format is HTML, which may require extraction or conversion for programmatic analysis of embedded data.
• The dataset's scope is geographically limited to the Sandy Creek catchment within Brisbane.
