flag Brisbane seeks federal funds after flood warning system rejection, citing inadequate national meteorology services.

flag Brisbane City Council is seeking federal funding from local Labor MPs after its latest Disaster Ready Fund application was rejected, citing inadequate flood warnings following a recent storm that triggered three alerts. flag Mayor Adrian Schrinner argues the Bureau of Meteorology’s service doesn’t meet Brisbane’s needs, criticizing its $100 million investment in a flawed website while a proposed local system would cost $500,000 to launch. flag The council has long had access to a free monitoring tool, Enviromon, but says it’s insufficient for the city’s scale. flag The appeal highlights growing concerns over disaster preparedness and the reliability of national weather services.
