A short list of places people actually need. Phone numbers and service boundaries change — confirm on the linked official sites before you rely on them.

Emergencies

• Life-threatening emergency: call 000
• Police Link (non-emergency): 131 444 — confirm current guidance on Queensland Police
• SES (flood / storm assistance): 132 500 — see SES Queensland

Planning and government

• Economic Development Queensland · Southern Thornlands PDA project page, documents, contact pathways published by EDQ
• EDQ Have Your Say Submissions during public notification periods
• Redland City Council Rates, waste, local laws, customer service

EDQ engagement contact details are published on official project pages (for example engagement phone and email listed on Have Your Say materials). Use those official listings rather than copying numbers from third-party sites.

Utilities (pointers)

• Electricity network (SEQ distributor): Energex — outages and network enquiries
• Water / sewer: provider and connection arrangements depend on location and staging; start with Council customer service and your developer/builder documentation for new connections
• Telecommunications: retail providers and nbn co infrastructure maps for serviceability

Weather and seasonal awareness (South East Queensland)

Southern Thornlands sits in a subtropical South East Queensland climate. Practical awareness includes:

• Summer — heat, humidity, and thunderstorm risk; secure outdoor items; check BOM warnings
• Wet weather — local flooding and slippery unsealed edges can occur; never drive into floodwater
• Bushfire season — urban-fringe properties should maintain defensible space and follow Queensland Fire Department guidance
• Storm season — power interruptions are possible; keep a basic household kit

Forecasts and warnings: Bureau of Meteorology.
