Flash flooding has struck Queensland roads with a flood warning in place on the Gold Coast. Separately, new research by Infrastructure Victoria reveals that more than $57bn of public infrastructure across Victoria is at risk from extreme weather by 2030, rising to $71bn by 2070. Bushfires, flooding, and heat pose the greatest threats to transport, energy, and health assets. The findings follow a summer of bushfires, flooding, and landslides across Victorian communities.
