  • The 2053 South Queensland Flood
    THE 2053 SOUTH QUEENSLAND FLOOD Only Young Water Professionals Need Attend ABSTRACT A ‘roadshow’ of flood engineers in the early 1980s ‘prophesised’ the flooding that occurred in South East Queensland (SE QLD) during 2011 to 2015. The events of 2011 to 2015 may have given increased credibility to a long-held notion that SE QLD may be subject to a 40-year flood cycle. This paper examines the data on flooding within the ten major SE QLD catchments, bounded by three mountain ranges and comprising more than 63,000 km2. The purpose was to test the existence and the strength of any regularity to flooding in this well-populated region of Australia. The approach identifies the flooding that occurred during predetermined five-year periods that were 35 years apart – the 40-year cycle – and the flooding that occurred outside of these nominated 5-year periods. The basic statistics were weighted for the length of flood record, catchment area, ranking of flood, and a combination of these factors. The results indicate that 69-87% of major floods in SE QLD have occurred within a set of five-year periods exactly 35 years apart. No explanation is offered at this stage of the research. The implications for traditional hydrologic methods are outlined. Keywords: Flooding, flood cycles, regularity, flood frequency INTRODUCTION The early years of the 1970s in South East Queensland was a period of multiple flooding events, remembered mostly for the January 1974 flooding of Brisbane. The following decade was one that experienced widespread estuarine development, where State and Local Government concerns that the development be above the 1in100AEP flood on top of a cyclonic surge, with allowance for future water level rises due to global climatic change, engaged a community of engineers who specialised in relevant fields.

Saxton 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 G r i f f i t h U n Abstract i v Analysis of aerial photographs shows that gully erosion in three catchments in e r s south‒ east Queensland, Australia, was initiated by post‒ European settlement. i t Analysis of historical rainfall and runoff show for two of the catchments, gully y , initiation occurred during wet decadal periods. Historical descriptions of the 1 settlement of south‒ east Queensland and Moreton Bay detail significant 7 0 changes in landuse and clearing of vegetation for grazing of domestic animals K e and urban development since 1842. Historical gully erosion rates varied from s s 14‒ 1826 m2yr‒ 1 and erosion rates are positively correlated with catchment area e l s x slope. Analysis of gully erosion rates showed a linear increase in planemetric R area over time. Together, these data show gully initiation in three catchments in o a d 24 south‒ east Queensland is associated with post‒ European settlement land use 25 practices and above average rainfall and runoff. Initiation of gullying across the 26 region is similar to previous studies in south‒ east Australia and highlights the 27 sensitivity of the landscape to vegetation clearing and alternating periods of 28 above average rainfall and drought.
