Logan City Council today switched its focus from river peaks to recovery as it reached out to support the local community directly affected by floodwaters.
Council is aware of 59 City of Logan homes that were inundated and anticipates this number will grow as crews conduct inspections to determine flood levels.
Logan and Albert Rivers have reached their peaks.
Around 200 roads across the city remain closed or affected by floodwater.
Some will be closed for days as safety inspections are conducted.
City of Logan Mayor Darren Power said today’s focus for Council was to get into flood-affected suburbs to support impacted residents and business owners.
“This is our community, and we will be doing everything we can to help them,” Cr Power said.
“We want to determine exactly how residents and businesses have been affected and what we can do to restore their way of life and day-to-day operations.”
Council and its disaster management partners have been resupplying isolated communities.
Essential supplies are being delivered and welfare checks conducted with impacted residents.
Cr Power said Council, emergency services and volunteers were working around the clock to support those most impacted.
“I thank them for their tireless work in supporting our community, ” he said.
