Two sandbag stations are open today 10.00am – 6:00pm.
They are located at:
- 232 Old Pacific Highway, Pimpama (next to City of Gold Coast Coomera Depot)
- 42-44 Boyd Street, Bilinga (use the service road, next to the City of Gold Coast Tugun Depot)
Signage will be in place on site to direct motorists to the stations. PLEASE drive carefully and to the conditions. If it's unsafe to be on the roads, please stay home.
Important: sandbags can reduce the impact of flooding if they're placed correctly in appropriate locations around property. They are not waterproof and will not stop the water completely. For those who need sandbags urgently or cannot drive to collect them, they can be made at home using rubbish bags and soil or dirt.
Queensland State Emergency Services (SES) offer a useful instructional video on how to sandbag your home and business.
