The lack of reliable design rainfall information for annual exceedance probabilities less than 1 in 100 has been a major factor contributing to large uncertainties in design flood estimates in the rare to extreme event range. This paper summarises research work leading to a new regional design rainfall estimation method, and its application to Victoria. The CRC-FORGE method, with associated supporting procedures, provides a reliable and consistent basis for design flood estimation in the rare to extreme event range, for medium to large size catchments.
