South Burnett and Cherbourg are among 23 councils in Queensland which have been invited to apply for funding to install flood warning equipment.<\/p>\n

Other nearby councils which are eligible for funding under the $7 million joint Federal \/ State government Flood Warning Infrastructure Network program are Gympie, Toowoomba , North Burnett,\u00a0Western Downs and Somerset.<\/p>\n

The councils are eligible because they were activated for Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements after the 2022 Queensland floods.<\/p>\n

The funding can be used by councils for infrastructure including rainfall and river gauges, flood cameras, data repeaters and electronic signs.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunities, emergency services and businesses need reliable access to flood forecasts and warnings, to help them prepare and respond to flooding events,” Federal Minister for Emergency Management Murray Watt said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to work with the Palaszczuk Government to deliver this potentially life-saving program, designed to improve Queensland\u2019s flood warning network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this program, Councils will submit projects based on their own unique and localised requirements, ensuring local knowledge is front and centre when preparing for future disasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Albanese Government is committed to improving Australia\u2019s flood warning infrastructure network, including an additional $236 million investment over 10 years to buy and upgrade high priority flood gauges that are currently owned by local, state and territory governments in flood-prone areas.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
