EIGHT new flood awareness cameras have been installed across the city, bringing the total from 16 to 24 cameras.
The new cameras have been installed at Keith Street at Bundamba, Edmond Street at Marburg, Hiddenvale Road at Calvert, Five Mile Bridge at Walloon, Western Creek Bridge at Grandchester, Smith Road at Redbank, Tantivy Street at North Ipswich and Marsden Parade in Ipswich.
This adds to the existing network located across Goodna, Churchill, Rosewood, Karalee, Jeebropilly, West Ipswich, Karana Downs, Marburg, central Ipswich and Springfield.
Council has also installed six new flood gauges as part of a pilot program.
The Disaster Dashboard proved a crucial tool for the community after being visited more than 880,000 times by almost 199,000 people during ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred earlier this year.
Funding was provided under council’s Capital Works program for 2024-2027.
