Ipswich class action to go ahead because city should not have flooded





Law firm Maurice Blackburn says the areas in green should not have flooded at all. Orange denotes areas where flooding was 15cm.


LAW firm Maurice Blackburn said Ipswich CBD should not have flooded while confirming a class action law suit against the Queensland Government would go ahead.

Maurice Blackburn released maps showing areas of Ipswich which should not have flooded.

The firm, working in conjunction with IMF, made the announcement at a press conference this morning.

The January 2011 floods caused wide spread damage across Ipswich, leaving many households battling financially in the aftermath.

Many see a class action against the government as a last chance to recoup money lost in the disaster.

A series of information meetings will be held in flood-affected areas to provide local residents and businesses with an opportunity to receive further information about the action.
