Hydrology is the term given to the study of the rainfall
and runoff process; in particular, the evaluation of peak

a range of floods.

Overlay means an extra layer of assessment in planning
schemes. The provisions of an overlay code are usually
triggered by overlay maps that depict extra information to
the information on the zoning maps.

Planning scheme is a local planning instrument for
regulating development in Queensland. Planning schemes
regulate what development must be assessed before it can
be undertaken, the type of assessment required and the
criteria used in an assessment in each council region. They
also contain codes with which self-assessable development
must comply.

Bathymetric survey is information relating to river
and lake bed surfaces. Bathymetric survey is typically
undertaken below normal water surface levels. (see chapter
