Condamine River Flood Modelling

A hydraulic impact assessment was required for a proposed aged person’s residential development located in Warwick, Queensland. The aim of the report was to show that the proposed development does not impact on the conveyance capacity of the Condamine River or its associated branches.

Yeats was commissioned to develop a two dimensional flood model of approximately 9 kilometres of the Condamine River, in the vicinity of the township of Warwick. The two dimensional flood modelling was performed using the latest version of Mike Flood (a couple of Mike 21 and Mike 11), and was based on previous models developed by the DNR using Rubicon software. Various floods were simulated from a 1 year flood, through to the Probable Maximum Precipitation event.
