Real-time local weather information is a step closer following today’s sod turning for the Redland Weather Station.

Redland City Mayor and Chair of the Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) Karen Williams, who formally wrote to the State Government to secure funding for the project, said the weather station would be an important resource in the City’s disaster management efforts.

“The Redland Weather Station will be built at the Cleveland Wastewater Treatment Plant with the express purpose of allowing us to monitor local weather more accurately,” Cr Williams said.

“The station will measure regular and real time weather observations of temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind speed and direction.

“This information will be useful to all residents, but a particularly important tool for our Local Disaster Management Group and emergency services.

“At the moment, we rely on approximate information gathered from the Brisbane Airport 40km away, but as any resident can tell you, there can be great variances in regional weather.

“This station will provide a local forecast, allowing emergency services to have timely, accurate information in weather events.

“LDMG and Redland City Council have been working with  the Bureau of Meteorology and State Government to ensure this weather station quickly becomes a reality.

“I would like to thank the State Government for showing their strong commitment to the project in providing a $150,000 grant through the Natural Disaster Resilience Program.”

Member for Capalaba Don Brown said the Redland Weather Station would also supply accurate information to other neighbouring local government areas.

“Southern Brisbane, Logan City and Ipswich City will also benefit from the data, making Redlands an important regional weather station,” Mr Brown said.

“It is great news that the Redland Weather Station will be built and operating by the next storm and bushfire peak season.”
