For now, the program is by strict invitation only and selected among residents who are &#8220;regularly and severely impacted by overland flow flooding.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Margherita Gellel from Rosalie has been chosen to benefit from the program, giving her and her family some peace of mind. Ms Gellel has been a Rosalie resident for nearly 50 years and has experienced frequent flooding that she&#8217;s always apprehensive whenever it rains in Brisbane. However, she and her neighbours have never considered moving away as an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/PWvhH_FPfsXt_MegA1XxoC6ropdHTAASZjbb34hYNvX6-Vpdw2_YNLTSYauyvQJPGUI5Y7ZsM-KF2RUySKVLzEyfxzobVWdrWK9g3cL97YjbIMHiv4wgPKCXMJxcLtPlAKzwmNU9\" alt=\"\" width=\"808\" height=\"538\"\/><figcaption>Photo Credit: QLD &amp; Brisbane &#8211; Flood &amp; Storm Images\/Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, she&#8217;s feeling a lot more relieved because of the program that launched in mid-2019. It would have been such a costly expense for Ms Gellel to rebuild her house from underneath but the renovation costs are shouldered by the Council, CitySmart and the firm of <a href=\"https:\/\/jdaco.com.au\/team\/\">James Davidson Architect (JDA).&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JDA has been designing flood-resilient homes for Queenslanders ever since the great flood of 2011. The firm has a different approach in building flood-resilient homes as it makes use of wet proofing or materials that are easy to clean and could withstand water. The company&#8217;s innovation has earned the recognition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aidr.org.au\/programs\/resilient-australia-awards\/\">Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, CitySmart has conducted a forum on flood resiliency with the participation of various builders and architects specialising in flooding disasters, per <a href=\"https:\/\/vickihoward.com\/build-flood-resilience-in-brisbane\/\">Councillor Vicki Howard<\/a>. This was a free event covering the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How to identify properties at risk from flooding<\/li><li> Flood-resilient building techniques, materials, and the benefit for your clients<\/li><li> How to provide advice to clients and understand your business risks, including planning scheme flood overlays and site water management issues<\/li><li> Comparative costs in flood resilience building and staying competitive when quoting<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The forum took place on 24 June 2021 at the East Leagues Club in Langlands Park, 40 Main Avenue, Coorparoo.&nbsp;Keep tabs on the results of this forum via the councillor&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/vickihoward.com\">official site<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VickiHowardBCC\">Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"related\"><strong><em>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/bardonnews.com.au\/index.php\/bardon-exhibits-steady-home-price-growth-for-q1-2021\/\">Bardon Exhibits Steady Home Price Growth for Q1 2021<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also visit the Council&#8217;s website to learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brisbane.qld.gov.au\/community-and-safety\/community-safety\/disasters-and-emergencies\/be-prepared\/flooding-in-brisbane\/flooding-support-for-residents\/flood-resilient-homes-program\">Flood Resilient Program<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Across Rosalie and Bardon, homeowners are rebuilding and elevating their houses off the ground to become flood-resilient and one resident has been a lucky benefactor of a free renovation, thanks to the pilot launch of the Flood Resilient Program.&nbsp; Read: Bardon Ranks in Top 3 for Most Renovation Projects in Brisbane An initiative of the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/bardonnews.com.au\/index.php\/flood-resilient-program-rosalie-resident-free-home-renovation\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Flood Resilient Program: Rosalie Resident Benefits from Free Home Renovation&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7034,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[308,309,311,310],"class_list":["post-7032","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepage-latest-news","tag-citysmart","tag-flood-resilient-program","tag-margherita-gellel","tag-rosalie"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
