I have just made it back from being stranded in regional QLD.  We are thinking of everyone in flood affected areas in QLD and NSW. For help and assistance with rebuilding in your local area head to your local council website and also utilise Master Builders in your state.

Here's a useful link for QLD residents.

Brisbane City Council - Flood Rebuilding/Renovating Advice

As people rebuild their lives and start rebuilding and renovating flood affected properties; the council have released important information for home owners.

• If you are rebuilding your house to its original state, you are able to proceed without Council approval.

• If you want to make improvements to your house which change its original state, you may need a development approval from Council.

Council application Fees will be discounted for flood affected properties.
