sizes and colours are expected to roll into Jimboomba this May for the inaugural Scenic Rim Truck Show Organised by locals Tracey Armstrong and Janet Smith the event will take place at Jimboomba State School on 21 May from 10am showcasing a wide range of trucks – from vintage showpieces to powerful modern haulers Mrs Armstrong said the idea for the event was born from a casual conversation with her co-organiser and friend “We’ve talked about doing something like this for years – both of us are from trucking backgrounds and we knew there’d be support from the community,” she said “Then one day over a cheese platter we thought Trucks must be pre-registered to participate in the display with the $50 entry fee going directly towards the day’s fundraising efforts Each truck owner will receive a goodie bag and spectators will have the chance to see the vehicles up close – something Ms Armstrong says is a rare experience “You see these big rigs on the highways every day admire the craftsmanship and meet the people behind the wheel,” she said The community-focused event will raise money for the KIDS Foundation a national organisation that supports children who have been affected by serious injury “We chose the KIDS Foundation because it’s a cause close to our hearts,” Mrs Armstrong said “A friend of ours was seriously burnt as a child and the support the foundation provides is just incredible They’ll have a stall on the day so people can learn more about what they do.” Live music will keep the atmosphere lively throughout the day and Kelly Llewellyn donating their time to perform with $10 all-day ride passes available for kids A live auction will offer up prizes donated by the community and local businesses including a trip for two to the Kenworth factory in Melbourne a robotic pool cleaner and truck servicing packages Food and drink will be available from various vendors and the school’s P&C will operate a bar with all bar proceeds supporting Jimboomba State School the organisers hope to turn the event into a recurring fixture potentially running it every year or every two years depending on sponsorship “It’s taken a lot of time and effort to get this off the ground but we’re so excited to see it all come together,” she said “We just hope everyone comes along and has a great time.” Visit scenicrimtruckshow.com to register your truck Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" The best way to contact MyCity Logan is via email to media@mycitylogan.com.au We look forward to hearing from you about story ideas We see this as your site and value your opinions like our own Please see our terms and conditions Please see our privacy policy Please note, all information published on MyCity Logan is subject to copyright, including text, design, photography and video.

Photograph: Jason O’Brien/EPAQueensland’s minister for disaster recovery, Nikki Boyd, visited Jimboomba on Friday and said it was one of the “hardest hit” by the “ferocious” storms. “We’ve got field crews who are working right now across the clock to restore power as soon as possible,” she said. Boyd said she was confident 90% of properties in the area would have electricity restored by New Year’s Eve but the remaining 10% of properties – predominantly in Jimboomba and Tamborine Mountain – could have a longer wait. “Network restoration there will take some time. Energex aims to have power restored to all customers in these communities … by tomorrow [Saturday] night,” she said. Joshua Kerswill from Energex described the storm as unprecedented for the region. “The scale that we’re dealing with here in the south-east to me is probably equivalent to twice what Cyclone Yasi put out,” he said of the 2011 disaster that left 150,000 homes without electricity. “It’s widespread, it’s covered a large populated area. Everyone working here is quite shocked at the extent of the damage.” Logan city councillor Scott Bannan said he expected the clean-up would take months and urged residents not to overexert themselves in the heat. “Especially the older guys, I’m really worried about them overdoing it with the clean-up when it’s so hot outside and there’s no reprieve inside.” Read moreHe said the community had worked together to clear fallen trees and other debris from driveways to ensure people were able to leave their properties and were now working to clear the main roads For some people who have just moved into the area it has come as a bit of a shock but for those of us who have been here for a while – it’s just a matter of getting shit done,” he said “Whether its fires or floods – neighbours here roll up their sleeves Bannon said he had organised a barbecue for Friday afternoon as a thank you to the community temporary washing machines and showers were set up and 500 sausages 200 steaks and “a little bit of salad” were distributed “I’ve been feeling a bit useless because I broke my leg I’ve been hopping around on crutches trying to help but not really [been able to] so I organised a barbecue It’ll be a big feed and an hour off for a bit of a breather,” he said Woodhill rural fire station was also allowing members of the public to use their bathrooms while Bannan said people with power had opened up their homes for people to shower Boyd urged locals to pay attention to warnings as more wild weather approaches “We’re not too sure exactly what the storms will bring at us,” she said “But one thing I know for sure is we’ve got the best response.” 5 May 2025 11:07:00 GMT.Your computer's time: document.write(new Date().toUTCString()); Former Logan Mayor Darren Power talks about the importance of understanding our flood risk Logan is a green city. We value our natural environment and the major rivers (the Logan and the Albert River) and creek catchments it includes. Floods are part of our environment but they can be tough for communities and individuals Flood risk is different in different parts of the city. How likely a flood of a certain size is and what impact it might have are important factors we consider when we develop our flood risk maps and policies. We use updated flood information from recently completed flood studies (please refer to the tables below) To help you understand your flood risk you can view the flood mapping and get a flood report from the Logan Flood Portal To learn more please see our Risk-based flood mapping fact sheet (PDF 504 KB).

Council has a rolling Flood Studies Review Program to help us improve our understanding of the flood risk across Logan’s different catchments. We take into account State legislation policies and guidelines and a range of factors such as climate change new rainfall and river level information from recent flood events new technology and industry best practice. We work with specialist consultants to deliver updated flood modelling and studies. In line with the recommendations of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry, we share that information with our community to help keep people and property safe.

When considering the risk of flooding we need to look at long-term trends Logan experienced particularly large floods in the late 1880s 1947 and 1974. It is possible some residents have not witnessed floods like those in the time they have lived here. That does not mean a flood like that won’t happen again. we simulate historic flood events to ensure that the model predictions match the behaviour of flood water in actual flood events that have occurred The model is then used to understand what a larger flood may look like. There have been a number of significant floods in the City of Logan in recent years. These events are listed in the table below with their approximate size using the scale of Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP). A 1% AEP means there is a 1 in 100 likelihood of a flood of this size occurring in any given year. It does not mean that a flood of that size will only occur once in every 100 years A lower likelihood represents a more serious flood flood levels would be higher in a 1% AEP event than those experienced in a 2% or 5% AEP event. Each flood is unique and any given flood will have different impacts in different areas. Properties impacted by a 1% AEP flood in one year may experience different impacts in a 1% AEP flood in another year Interactive mapping of the estimated flood affected areas (extent) for the 1974 2017 and 2022 floods are available in the Logan Flood Portal These historic flood maps are based on the best information Council has Local creek or overland flow flooding may also have occurred but not be shown on the map The Logan River experienced the highest levels since 1974 in the urban areas although peak levels were very similar to the 2017 flood Whilst the Albert River experienced a significant flood event in 2022 the 2017 flood remains the largest since 1974 0.5%-1% AEP flood (slightly greater than 1%) According to the Bureau of Meteorology this flood (March 2017) was the most severe in recent memory with new record flood levels set along the Logan River at Beaudesert and Maclean Bridge and a new record at Bromfleet for the Albert River. Beenleigh experienced its highest flood since 1887 In 1974 the Maclean’s Bridge gauge was in a different location This event (1974) is the closest to a 1% AEP flood that Logan has experienced in recent times You can also find more information about the flood warning system and gauges for the Logan River and Albert River catchments operated by the Australian Government, Bureau of Meteorology Logan’s Disaster Management Officers and State Emergency Services controllers talk about their experience helping people during floods and the importance of understanding your risk and being prepared Flooding: Be Prepared, Be Aware video transcript Australian insurers use a common definition of flood based on the covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped from the normal confines of a lake creek or other natural watercourse or a reservoir canal or dam. Water damage from stormwater storm surge and tidal inundation is not typically included but may be covered under other policy elements Insurers approach premium calculations for flood cover in different ways but commonly they are proportional to a property’s value and risk of flooding across a range of ‘what if’ scenarios. Many factors influence pricing including the history of flooding and flood claims in the area the level of risk estimated by flood modelling building materials used and construction type along with the expected cost of repair/recovery There are increasing challenges with the affordability and availability of insurance in Australia It is important that we use the best possible information and technologies available to improve our understanding of flood risk for the full range of possible floods This helps insurers to calculate the cost of the risk more accurately. Better information reduces uncertainty and assumptions that may increase premiums. Insurers are interested in current risk (for the next 12 months or policy period) and do not consider risk under projected future climate scenarios.

(ABC News) Link copiedShareShare articleTwo men have died in a light plane crash in the Scenic Rim, south-west of Brisbane. The crash happened on a turf farm off Brookland Road at Allenview near Jimboomba just before 10:00am. The men are believed to be an instructor and a trainee. Investigations are underway into the fatal training flight. (ABC News: Meghna Bali) The single-engine plane crash landed on the turf farm and the nose of the plane has been significantly damaged. Police Inspector Gary Brown said a witness saw the plane flying over the farm before it crashed. He said people from nearby properties rushed to the crash site to help. Farm manager Darryl Pearce said he received a panicked call from two of his workers who were picking weeds when the aircraft came down. "Got down there, luckily the plane wasn't on fire but getting closer to it. [I] ran over to see what we could do for the people. It landed upright," he said. The single-engine plane crash landed on the turf farm. (ABC News) The plane is a Diamond DA 40, a four-seater aircraft, manufactured in 2006 and is owned by Aircrew Training and Support based at Springfield. The Springfield Land Corporation said it was a Chinese-operated flying school which had rented premises in the education precinct for the last 18 months. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority said the plane was operated by a Queensland aviation organisation. The cause of the crash is unknown at this stage and a report will be prepared for the coroner. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has investigators on site. At least six ambulances were at the scene of the crash.
