QLD:Lockyer Valley residents to pay flood levy
Ratepayers in one of Queensland's worst flood-hit regions will pay an annual 30 dollar
levy to pay for preparations for future disasters.
Lockyer Valley Regional Council handed down its budget today, with more than 108 million
dollars due to be spent on road and bridge infrastructure alone, after January's floods.
The floods all but destroyed the valley's small towns of Grantham, Murphys Creek and
Spring Bluff, and claimed at least 17 lives.
