Interim flood level maps - TLPI
Brisbane City Council adopted a new interim flood level since the January 2011 floods that applies to the land affected by the Brisbane River flooding as well as waterway and creek flooding. Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) 01/12 - Brisbane Interim Flood Response is effective for 12 months and are supported by two sets of maps. The interim flood standard will be applied to new residential developments and will guide the location of essential services in new residential and commercial buildings in flood affected areas.
The interim flood level as defined in the TLPI is the highest of either the January 2011 flood or the existing Defined Flood Level. You can find the January 2011 flood levels from the TLPI Flood Maps and the existing Defined Flood Levels from the TLPI Brisbane Interim Flood Response maps.

Note about the interim flood line
The flood line on the above maps has been created by the Department of Environment and Resource Management with input from Brisbane City Council. The flood line was created using aerial flood imagery taken between 13 - 15 January 2011 and pre-flood aerial imagery. The determination of the location of the flood line depended largely on image quality and the ability to identify feature detail.
Inaccuracies may exist particularly in the Brisbane CBD area due to high rise buildings, areas of heavy vegetation along the river banks and low lying flat areas such as near the mouth of the Brisbane River. For the purpose of this TLPI the extent of the January 2011 Brisbane River flood (flood line) is fixed.
