Lord Mayor's message

Lord Mayor Adrian Shrinner

We can’t prevent wild weather in Brisbane, but being prepared can make all the difference. 

We’ve had an unseasonably wet November and December and when the ground is saturated, the possibility of flash flooding increases. 

February is typically Brisbane’s wettest month and we can’t be complacent when it comes to preparing our homes. 

I encourage everyone to register for the free Brisbane Severe Weather Alerts and collect free sandbags at our 5 depots across Darra, Morningside, Newmarket, Zillmere and Lota, so you can be ready for whatever comes next. 

We will continue to prepare our city for weather events all year round, so that residents can stay safer in our suburbs. 

Adrian Schrinner
Lord Mayor
