  • The Lockyer Creek Flood of January 2011: What Happened and How Should We Manage Hazard for Rare Floods Authors: Greg Rogencamp (SKM), Jim Barton (LVRC)
    52nd Annual Floodplain Management Authorities Conference The Lockyer Creek Flood of January 2011: What Happened and How Should We Manage Hazard for Rare Floods Authors: Greg Rogencamp (SKM), Jim Barton (LVRC) Abstract: The Lockyer Valley experienced a rare and damaging flood on the afternoon of the 10 th January 2011. The lives of 19 people were tragically lost and many houses were destroyed. The estimated annual exceedance probability (AEP) of the rainfall in some parts of the catchment was rarer than 1 in 1000. Many parts of the catchment upstream of Helidon and Grantham received rainfall with an AEP of rarer than 1 in 200. There are many lessons to be learnt from this tragic flood event in regard to flood risk management. The flood event highlighted the need to consider residual risk in managing floodplains. Can we class the loss of life associated with this event as tolerable if the annual probability of occurrence is only 1 in 1000 ? The policy for managing flood hazard for development proposals and planning schemes in Queensland would suggest that this risk is acceptable and tolerable. SPP 1/03 recommends that “development maintains the safety of people on the development site from all floods up to and including the Defined Flood Event”. However, the National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines would appear to be in conflict with Queensland flood risk management policy. Based on a risk assessment under these guidelines, this risk is not acceptable and should be managed. So, how should councils consider the hazards associated with floods rarer than the 1% AEP flood event ? How can councils identify these hazards in the first place ? How do we educate policy makers to understand the full spectrum of flood risk management ? The legacy of this flood should be to challenge the way that flood risk is managed in Queensland.
