The Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry has released its interim report into the devastating January floods that affected 70 per cent of our state.
The Commission received more than 660 written public submissions and heard from 167 witnesses during seven weeks of hearings.
In addition, it considered thousands of pages of documents in preparing the interim report.
The report makes 175 recommendations - 104 of which apply to the State Government, 65 to local governments and six to the Commonwealth.
Premier Anna Bligh said all recommendations relating to the State Government will be implemented.
The Commission's final report is due on February 24, 2012 and will examine longer term issues such as town planning and insurance.
