  • Loders Creek Catchment Hydraulic Study
    Loders Creek Catchment Hydraulic Study August 2016 1 Title: Loders Creek Catchment Hydraulic Study Author: Study for: City Planning Branch Planning and Environment Directorate The City of Gold Coast File Reference: WF28/44/01(P4) TRACKS #45330050 Version history Changed by Reviewed by & Version Comments/Change & date date 1.0 Draft 2.0 Update DTM 3.0 Edited 4.0 Edited Distribution list Name Title Directorate Branch Version 4 – August 18 TRACKS-#45330050-v4-LODERS_CREEK_HYDRAULIC_STUDY_2015 Page 2 of 72 Executive Summary The Loders Creek catchment is the smallest catchment (9.6km2) on the Gold Coast which experiences regional flooding. Loders Creek drains into the Broadwater system and contains small tributaries which are susceptible to breaches during heavy downpours. Loders Creek contains a small embankment dam which was constructed in the early 1970’s to mitigate flooding impacts in the lower reaches and to allow further urbanisation of the Broadwater foreshore. This Loders Creek catchment hydraulic study is the result of numerous studies undertaken over a number of years to determine a flood planning level for the catchment. This study’s output is an updated Loders Creek hydraulic model which has been used to develop a flood map for the City of Gold Coast’s City Plan 2015 designated flood level (DFL). DHI’s MIKE software suites have been used to build the hydraulic model. MIKE21 calculates complex flows and represents floodplain storage in the 2D domain whilst MIKE11 represents flow constrictions of hydraulic structures in the 1D domain. MIKE Flood was used to combine the two dynamic software platforms of MIKE21 and MIKE11.
