Sherwood Neighbourhood Centre

After some wild and wet weather last night, it's blue skies so far today. Council has started clean-up today, but it will take some time to get to all the downed trees and other damage. Please be patient and report any problems to my office.

Weather Update

In the past 24 hours, the highest rainfall in the Ward was at Corinda with 244mm. The highest in the City was Richlands at 291mm.

There is a minor flood warning for the Brisbane River, which is expected to be similar to a king tide, on the next high tide about midnight tonight. This is not expected to cause flooding in Tennyson Ward. The usual localised flooding around Rocklea, Corinda and Sherwood may be experienced, similar to yesterday.

Major flood warnings are in place outside Brisbane, around Logan and Beaudesert.

The severe weather warning for ex-TC Debbie has been cancelled.

Wind gusts of between 25km and 40km per hour are being experienced around the City. But, the good news is blue skies outside.

Green Waste

Brisbane City Council is offering free tipping of green waste at all four resource recovery centres until Sunday afternoon, to assist residents in clearing storm waste from their properties.

Resource recovery centres are located at Willawong, Chandler, Nudgee and Ferny Grove and are open from 6.30am to 5.45pm daily.

Kerbside pick-up will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If you know of any elderley or disabled people who need assistance, please contact my office.
