Water smart homes
Brisbane City Council’s role in water is to work with the community to protect and enhance our waterways and to mitigate the effects of flooding. Our aim is to show leadership in water protection and management and to build a water smart community.
Council has just updated the WaterSmart Strategy to help deliver a water smart city.
