Lower Mudgeeraba Creek Catchment Study (2010)
Contact: Dayna Detlefsen
(07) 5581 6488
Using 2D dimension hydraulic models, Aerial Photographs, digital terrain model’s (DTM’s), and ground verified data, we mapped geomorphic features and assessed the geomorphic stability of creeks in the lower Mudgeeraba Creek catchment to a scale of 1:250. We evaluated the impacts of Sea Level Rise. Recommended creek restoration strategies and concepts, as well as preparing a river management plan.
