Living on Brisbane’s Flood Plains

A River With A City Problem is a must-read book for residents impacted by flooding along the Brisbane River.

In Brisbane’s inner-west, flooding of our creeks and our river is a harsh fact of life for residents and businesses. Margaret brings the history and complexities of past floods to life, dispelling the myths and highlighting the impacts of past political decisions.

As climate change brings more extreme weather, Brisbane needs to rethink how it adapts to living with flooding.

Historian, Dr Margaret Cook, author of A River with a City Problem, will explore Brisbane’s flood history and together with Michael Berkman MP will open a discussion about how we might adapt to make our communities more resilient.
