The Alliance has been formed to address South-East Queensland's emerging urban water issues with a focus on water security and recycling. The program will bring new research capacity to South-East Queensland tailored to tackling existing and anticipated future issues to inform the implementation of the Water Strategy.

  • Pimpama River Catchment Hydrological Study Addendum Report
    Pimpama River Catchment Hydrological Study Addendum Report July 2015 Title: Pimpama River Catchment Hydrological Study - Addendum Report 2015 Author: Study for: City Planning Branch Planning and Environment Directorate The City of Gold Coast File Reference: WF18/44/02 (P3) TRACKS #50622520 Version history Changed by Reviewed by & Version Comments/Change & date date 1.0 Adoption of BOM’s new IFD 2013 2.0 Grammar Review Distribution list Name Title Directorate Branch NH Team PE City Planning TRACKS-#50622520-v3-PIMPAMA_RIVER_HYDROLOGICAL_STUDY_ADDENDUM_REPORT_JULY_2015 Page 2 of 26 1. Executive Summary The City of Gold Coast (City) undertook a hydrological study for Pimpama River catchment in December 2014 (City 2014, Ref 1). In the study, the Pimpama River catchment hydrological model was developed using the URBS modelling software. The model was calibrated to three historical flood events and verified against another four flood events. The design rainfalls from 2 to 2000 year annual recurrence intervals (ARIs) of the study were based on study undertaken by Australian Water Engineering (AWE) in 1998 and CRC-FORGE. In early 2015, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) released new IFD (2013) design rainfalls as part of the revision of Engineers Australia’s design handbook ‘Australian Rainfall and Runoff: A Guide to Flood Estimation’. In July 2015, the 2014 calibrated Pimpama hydrological model was used to run the design events using rainfall data obtained from the BOM’s new 2013 IFD tables. This report documents the review of City 2014 model and should be read in conjunction with the City 2014 hydrological study report. The original forest factor, catchment and channel parameters obtained from the 2014 calibrated Pimpama hydrological model were used for this study update.

Accordingly, they are below the level of Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) and typically are in the lower, most frequently and deeply inundated parts of the intertidal zone.

  • Connecting SEQ 2031 an Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland
    Connecting SEQ 2031 An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland Tomorrow’s Queensland: strong, green, smart, healthy and fair Queensland AUSTRALIA south-east Queensland 1 Foreword Vision for a sustainable transport system As south-east Queensland's population continues to grow, we need a transport system that will foster our economic prosperity, sustainability and quality of life into the future. It is clear that road traffic cannot continue to grow at current rates without significant environmental and economic impacts on our communities. Connecting SEQ 2031 – An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland is the Queensland Government's vision for meeting the transport challenge over the next 20 years. Its purpose is to provide a coherent guide to all levels of government in making transport policy and investment decisions. Land use planning and transport planning go hand in hand, so Connecting SEQ 2031 is designed to work in partnership with the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 and the Queensland Government's new Queensland Infrastructure Plan. By planning for and managing growth within the existing urban footprint, we can create higher density communities and move people around more easily – whether by car, bus, train, ferry or by walking and cycling. To achieve this, our travel patterns need to fundamentally change by: • doubling the share of active transport (such as walking and cycling) from 10% to 20% of all trips • doubling the share of public transport from 7% to 14% of all trips • reducing the share of trips taken in private motor vehicles from 83% to 66%.
