Full list of road closures in southeast Queensland due to rain and flooding

Motorists in this densely populated region are being urged to stay off the roads, many of which are closed due to flooding.

Flash flooding has forced the closure of several roads across southeast Queensland as heavy rain continues to fall on the already soaked region.

More than 250mm fell on parts of the Gold Coast in the 24 hours to Monday morning, prompting warnings for people to stay home.

Emergency Services Minister Mark Ryan said it wasn’t worth the risk.

“We are in a situation at the moment where very heavy downfalls of rain are occurring in very short periods of time, which is leading to dangerous situations arising very suddenly,” he said.

When you drive through floodwater, you're not only risking your life, but also the lives of our emergency services and rescue crews.

When faced with floodwater, the bravest and smartest thing you can do is #BackItUp. Remember, #IfItsFloodedForgetIt. https://t.co/zukSOwO8wm

“It is imperative that people stay abreast of the weather warnings and also that everyone take a very cautious approach when driving on the roads.

“We all have a responsibility to make good decisions on the road to keep other drivers and ourselves safe.”

Meanwhile, shocking footage has emerged of a driver trapped in his car as it was carried along in floodwaters.

It comes as parts of NSW inundated by a one-in-100-year rain event request more help to help deal with the devastation.

Emergency Services Minister David Elliott said the government had requested the assistance of the Defence Force.
