It's falling at Peachester so unless we get more heavy rain we should be OK, it may just about clip minor but that will be it and they start releases from Somerset tomorrow which will assist in keeping it down. Of course, further heavy rain will change everything so we don't want another 80mm overnight!.

some of the land rules make little sense regarding animals.2 tiny ponies does not equal 2 big horses...

Need to police developers more strongly.

Every suburban development must also have a considerable size of natural habitat that contain animal corridors regardless if native animals in the area or not. Also overhead or under passes in known native animal areas when building highways. Our native animals are of high importance over development. They only have us to save them.

The joys of the council making one law for everywhere from wamuran to rocksberg to Redcliffe....

I think firepits are okay if the people who own them are sensible and not make them into a bombfire situation where it can get out of controll and respect your neighbors and tell them about your night with a firepit

Stop knocking down Koala environment, they are very territorial and not cuddly when new Koala are released in “their” territory

I am excited to have my say about some of these stupid laws. I get why some are in place, and society can only move as fast as the slowest person, but it often feels like council is profiteering from some laws, such as number of dogs I can have. Having to pay for a permit to have a 3rd dog is ridiculous and it only is valid for a few years and you gotta do it again. As for fire pits, I say yes!!! Obviously need to restrict size of fires in suburban areas.m, but would be great to have in winter when having BBQ with friends. Most people do anyway, its just a matter of if you got neighbours who gonna dob or not.

🌧 Possibility of another severe Rainfall event this weekend, start preparing, share with friends and family and follow for updates regarding Sandbags etc should they become necessary... 🌧

MBRC: Flood Watch gives early advice of possible minor to moderate flooding within MBRC from Sunday onwards. More info at bit.ly/37S40dE.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a Flood Watch for minor to moderate flooding within the Moreton Bay Regional Council area.

A deepening trough along the Queensland coast is likely to bring heavy rainfall to the flood watch area from Sunday and continuing into Monday. Catchments are wet from recent rainfall and are likely to respond quickly.

Localised flooding and minor disruption to transport routes is possible throughout the Flood Watch area.
