Locals isolated at flooded Logan

PARTS of Logan, south of Brisbane, are isolated by floodwaters.

Major flood levels are now easing slowly downstream from Yarrahappini to Logan Village and homes and businesses have escaped major damage.

Mayor Pam Parker says about 200 residents in the suburb of Buccan are isolated.

"We're discovering people who are isolated, without power, without water, and we're going to be getting some long life milk and bread supplies in through four wheel driver later today.

"I know there's other pockets that are isolated; if you can communicate to council, we'll try to get boats to you."

Queensland Rail said floodwaters had forced it to suspend rail services between Bethania and Beenleigh stations.

Gold Coast line train services will continue to run from Varsity Lakes to Beenleigh.

Beenleigh line trains will continue to run from Bethania to the CBD.

Buses will shuttle customers between Beenleigh and Bethania stations.

As well as the 200 people isolated at Buccan, Ms Parker says eight homes in Logan Reserve have had water through them and 7500 are without power.

She says the council has found a goat track into Buccan but it can only be accessed by 4WD.

Ms Parker says the suburb will be isolated for another 24 to 48 hours.

She's devastated some in her community have lost so much.

"And we'll make sure these eight homes that have gone under get all the help they need," she told AAP.

"It's saddening but you know what, we'll bounce back."
