"We have quite a good level of confidence that levee will again protect our town, and we've got council staff that ride that levee on a regular basis," he told AAP. Goondiwindi Mayor Lawrence Springborg said his staff are working around the clock. There are 90 QFES personnel ready to be deployed as the floodwaters slowly progress downstream, along with three helicopters that can be used for evacuations or supply-drops to people cut off by the floods. QFES Commissioner Greg Leach said the flood response now extends across Goondiwindi, Yelarbon, Dalby, Warwick, Chinchilla, Taroom, and Cecil Plains. Meanwhile at Inglewood and Texas, crews are assessing the flood damage and have so far conducted 352 building assessments, with two properties found to be severely damaged, 15 moderately damaged, and 105 suffering minor issues. Another three aged care residents have been voluntarily evacuated to Toowoomba, and three hospital patients have been flown to Warwick, while emergency supplies have been delivered to Inglewood and Tara. The State Emergency Service has so far responded to 57 calls for help, more than half of them from Goondiwindi. "It's tough out there when you have floodwaters coming through the community, but the community has done the right thing, they have stepped up and they have done an outstanding job," he told reporters on Saturday. Police and Emergency Services Minister Mark Ryan has praised the efforts of residents and authorities in flood-hit regions. It's expected to remain well above the major flood level of 8.5m into Sunday. In Goondiwindi's biggest flood in a decade, the Macintyre River has reached 10.42m, just below the town's 11m levee banks and under the 2011 flood peak of 10.64m. Floodwaters are peaking in the towns of Boggabilla and Goondiwindi in Queensland's south west.
