More than 40 crews are out this morning following yesterday’s storm in the eastern suburbs. We also have an additional team rapidly assessing the area to ensure we are prioritising safety jobs, including the removal of debris from footpaths, roads and in our parks.

After 17 years as a Councillor, I have decided it’s time to start considering a new path and new ways I can continue to help make Brisbane even better. I feel incredibly lucky to have helped Brisbane evolve into the best place in Australia to live, work and relax.

Krista Adams has been an incredibly effective, loyal and hard-working deputy and I am really going to miss having her as part of our leadership team. The work Krista has done as Deputy Mayor and a Civic Cabinet Chair has been critical to setting Brisbane up for success.

It's turn-up-and-go time! ➡️➡️🚉 The first permanent Brisbane Metro service is here! Running from the University of Queensland to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital every five minutes in peak.

What do you call a Brisbane Metro vehicle? 🚇 Well the very first one in service this morning was "Darren Lockyer" - named after Brisbane's very own NRL legend who joined us on board. What Brisbane icon should we name the next vehicle?

Has a parked vehicle blocked an entire lane of traffic on your way to work or home? 🚗 We're taking action on Brisbane's clearways to help keep Brisbane moving. ➡️➡️

Fudge was found last year with a pretty bad case of chlamydia. 🐨 But now he's back home and chlamydia-free thanks to a groundbreaking new partnership between our Council and QUT and UQ News through our Koala Recovery and Resilience Project.

🔈IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR BRISBANE BUS USERS🔈

Brisbane residents know how to prepare for severe weather but a cyclone in Brisbane is something many of us have never experienced before. Preparing now is the only way to ensure your home, pets and loved ones stay safe.

I’ve just been updated on new modelling ahead of Tropical Cyclone Alfred. The modelling shows almost 20,000 properties across Brisbane could be impacted by storm surge or flooding.

We are issuing an Emergency Alert to all Brisbane residents. TAKE SHELTER in the strongest part of your building. Tropical Cyclone Alfred is predicted to cross north of Brisbane overnight into the early hours of the morning. Stay inside until safe. brisbane.qld.gov.au/community-and-…

Tropical Cyclone has been downgraded to an ex. While Brisbane might have avoided Alfred’s worst, we are certainly not out of the woods yet. More than 35,000 Brisbane residents are without power and there is still a significant risk of intense rain and flash flooding.

We’ve dodged the worst of Tropical Cyclone Alfred but we’re not out of the woods yet.

Brisbane's reputation as one of the best places in the world to live, work and visit is booming. There's an infectious buzz about our city and the investment underway at 360 Queen Street in the city is a huge vote of confidence in Brisbane's future.

We're making suburban neighbourhoods even better through our Better Suburbs - Places and Spaces program. Work begins soon to transform the corner of Ryans Rd and Robinson Rd, Nundah with new garden beds, trees, wider footpaths and more space to relax and enjoy the neighbourhood

Pope Francis was a voice of guidance, compassion, unity and will be missed by many people around the world. We’ll be livestreaming his funeral in King George Square and Queen Street Mall from 5:30pm tomorrow to allow people to pay tribute and honour his extraordinary life.

🌉 Restoring a Brisbane icon – the Story Bridge 🌉 Just as we brought City Hall back to life, we’re committed to restoring the Story Bridge so it can stand tall for another century.
