While the six dams and weirs are some of the region’s smallest, they provide plenty of optimism for the region.
Four of the dams are either located in or supply a drought-declared local government area: Leslie Harrison Dam, Litter Nerang Dam, Six Mile Creek and Wappa Dam.
The overflowing Leslie Harrison Dam, which supplies Redland City south of Brisbane, was recorded at 76% capacity on Friday.
The region’s two largest dams, Wivenhoe and Somerset, both had increases of about 1% over the weekend.
The overall dam level in south-east Queensland has increased by nearly 1% after heavy rain over the weekend.
South-east Queensland’s water grid total sits at 57.2% following the weekend downpour.
The main drinking supply for the Gold Coast, Hinze Dam, has reached 88.7% capacity from 86.3% before the weekend.
