Clean-up starts tomorrow Saturday 15th January ...
As the flood waters recede and people are allowed to return to their homes, our attention turns to the clean-up and to the massive task that lies ahead.
Our top priority is re-opening major arterial roads and removing debris to enable traffic access.
Concerns remain for the structural integrity of parts of Coronation Drive, which will be subject to lane restrictions outbound. However the following roads have been cleared and re-opened either all or in part:
William Jolly Bridge
Kingsford Smith Drive
Melbourne Street, South Brisbane
South Brisbane roads (most open)
Riverside Expressway (partially opened to Hale St)
Hale Street
Ipswich Motorway (partially re-opened)
Inner City Bypass (partially re-opened)
Abbotsford Road
Sandgate Road
My Council team has been humbled by the response we have received from people wanting to help. My message to everyone however is this clean-up is a marathon, not a race. The last thing we need is everyone jamming the roads in their eagerness to help.
That is why we have arranged shifts for volunteers. For those people that wish to volunteer and help with the recovery efforts, tomorrow (Saturday 15th) and Sunday 16th Council will open fully staffed registration centres at the following locations:
Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Melaleuca Drive, Boondall
Doomben Racecourse, Hampden Street, Ascot
MacGregor State High School Assembly Hall, MacGregor (please park at Eight Mile Plains Bus Station, a bus shuttle will transport you to MacGregor State High School)
Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens carpark, Toowong
Once you have filled out the necessary paperwork, a bus will shuttle you out to your designated clean-up area. Two shifts have been organised over the two days, morning registration starts at 7am and afternoon registration will start at 12:30pm.
It is essential for those that wish to volunteer to bring along their own tools to assist with the clean-up, wear sun protection as well as long pants, long sleeves, gloves and closed in shoes. Also bring photo ID with you to assist in the registration process.

If you cannot help this weekend but may be able to assist in the future, we would like to hear from you. I am particularly appealing to members of the community who own a bobcat, dump truck, front-end loader, water tanker or other heavy equipment that can be provided to assist with the clean-up. Please email [email protected] and you will be contacted and provided with details of how you can best assist.
Rubbish collection
Council will have industrial bins and kerbside collections for flood damaged goods in affected areas once floodwaters recede. Detailed information on industrial bin locations, collection areas and times will be advised as soon as possible via the media and Council’s website. For insurance purposes, take photos and note serial numbers of damaged equipment before you dispose of damaged goods.
Water
We have been advised by the State Government’s Queensland Urban Utilities that water in the greater Brisbane area is perfectly safe to drink. Those residents living in non flood affected areas are encouraged to be conservative with their own water use as the clean-up is a priority.
Electricity
As floodwaters recede, Energex is working hard to return power to as many homes as possible. The focus has been placed on the western suburbs. Please do not attempt to use electricity if your home has been inundated by floodwaters, until your power has been checked by a qualified electrician.
Donations
Unfortunately the Evacuation Centres can no longer receive items to assist with the flood relief efforts, please check with your local charity store before you drop off your goods, as many have indicated that they have reached full capacity.
Buses
For information on public transport and affected services, please visit the TransLink website at www.translink.com.au or phone 13 12 30.
