Releases from Wivenhoe Dam raised water levels in the Brisbane River by up to 10 metres during January's flood, a panel of independent hydrologists has found.

The hydrology report, commissioned by the Insurance Council of Australia and published yesterday, ruled the Brisbane flood to be a “dam release flood”.

It named the release of water from Wivenhoe Dam as being the “principal immediate cause” of the riverine flood, as rain ceased about 6pm on January 11, more than 24 hours before the Brisbane River peaked overnight on January 12-13.

The council commissioned the report, carried out by hydrologists from WorleyParsons, WRM and Water Matters International, on behalf of insurance companies for use in conjunction with their own hydrology assessments and local condition reports in processing claims.

Although the report acknowledges that flood waters from the Lockyer Creek and Bremer River contributed to the Brisbane flood, the hydrologists found the releases from Wivenhoe Dam created the primary “floodwave”.
