I thought everyone knew that the Airport was built on swamp?

Hi Stephen,

Just as a follow up to the subject one of the best maps as a predictor to flood levels is the Brisbane City Council map which is from memory a Q100 flood level.  The 2011 floods were approx 1:70 and about 1m less than 1974.

I must say I was a little surprised when I re-looked at it recently for a possible B2 (NEXTDC second Brisbane data centre).  Might be a DC operator or two that would be nervous looking at this map.  Do your own due diligence :)

Cheers
