Service Description:A very large and unlikely flood event. Over a very long period of time (several 100s of years) an event of similar size or greater may occur on average once every 1,000 years. Few people will ever experience an event of this size. When an event of this size is observed it is considered to be very exceptional. Within the Moreton Bay Region, representative flood events of this size occurred in the middle reaches of the North Pine River during January 2011 and in the middle reaches of King Johns and Saltwater Creeks during May 2015. Whilst very rare, these events can and do occur.
