Moreton Bay Regional Overland Flow Hazard Overlay

Moreton Bay Regional Council's statutory planning scheme overlay identifies land subject to overland flow hazards. The dataset, updated in June 2016, regulates land use and development, replacing three former council schemes. It includes attributes defined per the Queensland Planning Provisions.

Use Cases

• Analyze flood risk for property development by assessing the Overland Flow Path Overlay extent.
• Integrate overlay data with property boundaries to identify parcels affected by multiple hazard overlays.
• Model drainage and rainfall impact using the hazard classification from the planning scheme.

Strengths

• Data is part of a statutory planning scheme, providing legal authority for land-use regulation.
• Attributes are standardized according to the Queensland Planning Provisions, Schedule 2.
• Replaces and consolidates three former council planning schemes for consistency.

Limitations

• The core data version is from June 2016, which may not reflect current land conditions or recent development.
• Specific row counts, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessing dataset scale and structure.
• As a regulatory overlay, it may have geographic bias limited to the Moreton Bay Region.
