Homeowners in two Brisbane suburbs will be able to apply for a slice of $12 million to raise homes or make modifications to improve their flood immunity, using ratepayer funds.
Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk revealed the $12 million "flood resilient homes" program on Tuesday, a day after a new report found an increasing number of first home buyers were moving into "high-risk" flooding suburbs.
Under the plan, more than 200 eligible households at Inala, south of Brisbane, and in inner city Rosalie will be able to apply for up to $50,000 to modify floors and walls, to relocate electrics and services and raise timber homes.
