Certain parts of our city are vulnerable to flooding, erosion and coastal inundation.
In the near future, it will be costly to support people to remain living there, as sea levels and temperatures rise. In some areas, homes themselves could be raised, but maintaining roads, eroded riverbanks, sea walls and other infrastructure and services in the face of constant inundation becomes increasingly costly. How can we tackle this problem at the local government level? What is, and should be, the role of BCC in this space?
Join Councillor Jonathan Sriranganathan for a free community afternoon tea and discussion of future actions our local government can take to address sea level flooding.
What are your thoughts and ideas? Bring them to the discussion forum on Saturday 11th February!
This forum is part of Regenerate Brisbane, a series exploring how our communities can repurpose local governments to serve our needs better.

This event is taking place on the stolen country of the Jagera and Turrbal people.
We pay respects to elders past and present, and we recognise that conversations about development and gentrification must be grounded in the recognition that these phenomena are part of an ongoing process of colonisation and extractive exploitation.
