Queensland’s flood recovery coordinator says the community is banding together in the wake of devastating floods.

A number of agencies are involved in recovery operations, including the Australian Defence Force and the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.

Major General Jake Ellwood told Neil Breen they’ve been very busy assessing more than 16,000 properties.

“Around half of those have from minor to severe damage, so it is significant.”

He said there’s been many flood-affected people who have no idea where to start.

“We say to them to just go down to the community hubs.

“I’ve been to a number of the community hubs and it’s a one-stop shop to help you through all the steps to take.”
