QUEENSLAND'S acting planning minister says a residential development precinct under construction on the Brisbane River waterfront is not flood proof even though it was spared the devastation of floods in early 2011.
Tim Nicholls, who is also acting deputy premier, has opened a new 500-metre section of a river walk at Hamilton, on the Northshore banks of the river.
Asked if the adjacent residential precinct in his Clayfield electorate was in a flood-prone area, Mr Nicholls said planning authorities had taken flooding into consideration.
"During the floods in 2010 and 2011, I came down and inspected this part of the river and fortunately, the floodwaters didn't rise up over the banks here," he told reporters at the site on Sunday.
"That's not to say that it's flood proof, it's just to say that in that flood ... it didn't flood here.
"Obviously those things are taken into account by the planning authorities and by the builders."
Another 15,000 residents are expected to move into the area during the next decade as the former port land is redeveloped, Mr Nicholls said.
