Scenic Rim Council is asking residents to be patient in coming days as the clean-up from the recent wild weather continues, with significant flooding still impacting some roads in the region, as well as some Council services.
“The message remains: stay at home if you can and stay off the roads. We have many road closures due to flooding, as well as landslides and severe potholes, so a trip is just not worth the risk,” Mayor Greg Christensen says.
“Our roads team is out on the ground carrying out inspections, beginning clean-ups and preparing for repairs as soon as it’s safe to do so.
“Please be mindful – just because a road is no longer flooded doesn’t meant it’s open and safe to travel on.
“We’ll be working with Transport and Main Roads to carry out full assessments on roads as quickly as possible, so please follow all roadside signage and we appreciate your patience.
“Residents requiring flood assistance should contact the SES on 132500. In a life-threatening emergency, dial Triple Zero (000) and you can contact Council on 07 5540 5111 for other enquiries.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank our incredible emergency services, employees and volunteers on the ground supporting the community through this severe weather event.
“There will be major disruptions to Council facilities and services today and the remainder of the week, we thank you for your patience while we work together to get through this severe weather event.”
