Storm’s out, Brisbane is in

IN A statement to the press today, Brisbane Marketing has declared the Queensland capital well and back in action.

According to lord mayor of Brisbane Graham Quirk, the city has weathered the weekend storms well and the business district is open.

Quirk said: “The airport is open, roads and trains into the CBD are open and running, and the business and retail centres are trading as usual. All hotels, events and attractions are open.”

“While some suburbs are still experiencing power and water difficulties, the clean-up and repairs are well underway. Most of Brisbane is well and truly back on its feet and the business district is fully operational,” he emphasised.

Quirk said he was proud of the resilience of the city.

“There is no reason for people planning to travel to Brisbane for business, holidays or study to change those plans, the sun is out and we’re ready to welcome you.”

He acknowledged that the city was “more fortunate than many country areas” and added that he would help to “provide support to harder-hit surrounding areas” in his capacity as Chair of the South East Queensland councils.
