Best Answer

Ipswich, west of Brisbane, Queensland is prone to flooding when there is a major rainfall event.

Ipswich has undergone extensive flooding - firstly in 1974, when Brisbane also went under, and again in January 2011. In the most recent event of 2011, the massive Wivenhoe Dam west of Ipswich exceeded 180% capacity, meaning water had to released into the Brisbane River large volumes, equivalent to several Sydney Harbours. This, of course, had a flow-on effect for the Bremer River in Ipswich.

In major rainfall events such as these, lower areas of Ipswich are most definitely under threat, but even people who are not in the usual low-lying regions should take whatever precautions they can. All the water coming down from the Brisbane Valley and Lockyer Valley has to go somewhere, and the Bremer River in Ipswich is easily swollen.
