Brisbane's market traders are seeking legal advice about another potential lawsuit against the State Government over last year's floods.
The fruit and vegetable markets at Rocklea were left with a $100 million dollar damage bill.
Traders have now engaged a legal firm to investigate if there is enough evidence to support a class action over the mismanagement of Wivenhoe Dam during the floods.
Market CEO Andrew Young says traders want the State Government to take responsibility for what happened.
"The Government built the markets here - they put us here - they're responsible for a lot of the development of the site after the 1974 floods," Mr Young said.
"We like so many others in flood affected areas are evaluating our options.
"What we've really just signalled is that if that material indicates that there was significant extra damage caused and there's prospects in a legal case then we would look at heading up a lawsuit at that time."
Thousands of people have already signed up to a separate class action being pursued by law firm Maurice Blackburn.
