Brisbane City Council Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path Mapping Flood Study reference files. This dataset contains the Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path Mapping flood study report, metadata used in the flood study and a detailed map that shows the 27 individual sub-models of the flood study and can be used to identify the sub-model for your location of interest.
Council is committed to ensuring we have the latest flood modelling data to help manage flood risk in Brisbane. Flood studies provide Council with technical data to inform policy and for managing flooding within the Brisbane River and local creek and overland flow catchments.
The Citywide Creek and Overland Flow Path Mapping Flood Study comprises a series of 27 individual sub-models which cover the entire Brisbane City Council area. Results data for flood height, depth and hazard (depth x velocity) are available for each individual sub-model for the 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 2000 year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) storm events.
For specific details on how the study was conducted and the areas it covers, and before using the data please read the Citywide Creek \& Overland Flow Path Mapping Report. A list of the individual sub-models is also available in the report. Information on how the sub-models were delineated can be found in the report.
The individual sub-model results data files for each storm event for flood height, depth and hazard will be gradually added to open data. Results data files for sub-models may also be uploaded to open data upon request. Please use the contact link in the footer of this webpage if you cannot find the data for the sub-model for your location of interest.
More information on flood studies and how this information is used can be found on the Brisbane City Council Website.
