A major flood warning has just been issued for the Logan River.

The level at Beaudesert is at 7-point-3-2 metres and is expected to exceed the major flood level of 8-point-3 metres sometime this morning as heavy rainfall continues.

There’s also a flood watch for several other rivers and creeks at risk of minor to moderate flooding.

A strong upper trough combined with deep moist airflow is expected to bring widespread areas of heavy rainfall and flooding across Logan City and the Scenic Rim.

Sandbags are available to collect from from the Logan East SES Depot, 26-36 Winnetts Road, Daisy Hill.

Collection of sandbags from other Logan City Council depots is not available.

Residents will need to collect their own sandbags, if this isn’t possible you can contact the SES on 132 500 to make alternative arrangements.

Low-lying parts of the city have experienced flash flooding as a result of weekend rainfall and more inundations are expected today.
