Flooding is one of Australia’s costliest natural disasters, which on average costs around $AUD400 million annually. In 2010-2011 alone, the cost of flood damage has exceeded $AUD20 billion. Flood estimation is therefore crucial in assessing and managing flood risks. Flood Frequency Analysis (FFA) is one of the most commonly adopted techniques used to estimate floods with an associated frequency, known as design floods. These design floods are used in the planning and design of water infrastructure projects, along with various floodplain planning regulations.
