ARR 2016 Update
11th November 2016
The 2016 modernisation of the Australian Rainfall and Runoff guidelines has largely been completed, and is the first major update of the guidelines in almost 30 years.
The modernised guidelines provide engineers and consultants with the guidance and datasets necessary to produce more accurate and consistent flood studies and mapping now and into the future.
As the project has almost reached its final stage, ownership has been transferred to Geoscience Australia, on behalf of the Australian Government. Currently, the finalisation of the Intensity Frequency Duration data is being undertaken by the BOM.
The Guidelines will be publicly accessible for free from the new website arr.ga.gov.au and the website will be regularly updated to ensure the ARR Guidelines remain current.
