Flood Engineering on the Gold Coast
Creek, overland flow and storm-tide flood modelling and Flood Impact Assessments for City of Gold Coast development applications.
Gold Coast sites can face creek flooding, overland flow, and storm-tide inundation — often in combination on low-lying coastal and canal-estate land. CWD Group builds TUFLOW models that account for the relevant mechanism, interrogates City of Gold Coast flood-overlay mapping, and delivers RPEQ-certified Flood Impact Assessments for development applications. From hinterland creek catchments to tidal canal frontages, we give you a defensible flood answer for your DA, purchase, or insurance matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you assess storm-tide and tidal flooding on the Gold Coast?
Yes. Low-lying coastal, canal-estate and foreshore sites on the Gold Coast can be governed by storm-tide and tidal inundation as well as catchment flooding. We identify the governing mechanism and model it for your City of Gold Coast development application.
Which council mapping applies on the Gold Coast?
We work from City of Gold Coast flood-overlay mapping and planning scheme controls, interrogate them for your site, and build a site-specific TUFLOW model where the proposal could affect flood behaviour or where the mapping is too coarse to rely on.
