Queensland Flood Update: Water levels begin to ease
Flood levels have dropped in Brisbane, and there is an expectation that they will not reach the devastating flood levels of 1974.
Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said there was a lot of water in the Brisbane CBD, but the lower than expected peak had saved many businesses and high-rise apartment buildings.
Brisbane Airport is fully operational.
The International and Domestic Terminals, runways, car parks and roads are all clear of water and planes are running on schedule.
But public transport to and from the airport is limited.
And Brisbane’s residents may have to get by without their favourite beer.
Representatives for Queensland’s iconic XXXX beer have told shoppers to expect ongoing shortages.
Some retailers may have enough beer supplies to last two weeks, a XXXX spokesman said, but parts of the state may go without for as long as the floodwaters remain.
“We’ve got stock in warehouses but we’ve had to cancel some deliveries,†he said. “It’s a question of safety for our staff; some routes are too dangerous.â€
