Gold Coast Watercourse, and Wetland Mapping Project (2012 – 2014) [SWEMP 1]
Gold Coast City Council
Developed a watercourse and flood risk modelling tool that was used to map the location and area (polygon) of a watercourse and flood prone area to +/- 5m for any river catchment in the world. The tool has also been used to identify fluvial geomorphic units on the floodplain including; multiple channels, anabranches, oxbows, intertidal areas, floodplain wetlands, chute channel, etc. The watercourse modelling tool has been used to model the location of watercourses, and wetlands for the City of Gold Coast, covering an area of approximately 1200 km2 This assessment can also be used to determine risk of flooding and also determine appropriate setbacks for development.
